irvine and Sugar Tariff,

WAsHINGToN, Sept. 24.-The Ne

terday on the question of the duty on
beet sugar machinery. They found
out that the conferees had shut it out
of the tariff bill, and Immediately made
a raid on the committee and finally
succeeded in getting it restored so far
as relates to the machinery in the
Grand Island works.
A hot fight is going on relative to
binding Irvine. Nine republican sena-
tors, including Paddock, Wilson, Petit

sofa and North Dakota have notified
the conferees that they will vote
against the bill if they put Irvine back
where the house had it. Up to late
hour tonight the conferees were still
disagreed upon the binding Irvine and
sugar schedules. Indications point to
a compromise in both cases, fixing the
line of free sugar at No. IA, Dutch
standard, instead Of No. 6 as fixed by
the house and No. 10, as fixed by the
senate, and on binding twine by fixing
the duty at about one-half cent per

Recent Floods I'm China.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 24.-The de-
partment of state has received from the
United States legation at Pekin, China,
IA report relative to the recent heavy
floods. The report says the floods
were the most serious ever known. An
area of 5000 miles was affected by
them. Many people We're drowned
and tens of thousands are living on
charity. One result OF the floods may
have far-reaching consequences. Near
Lutai, which is point on the railroad
from Rongku to Tong Shan. the rail-
road embankment was destroyed by
the people for miles. 1t was alleged
that the embankment was damaged by
water and flooded the country. 1t is
supposed that the general in command
at Lutai either instigated or connived
at these proceedings, in which his sol
diers largely took part. A very seri-
Gus feature of the case is the supine-
ness of Viceroy Ii. He has done moth
ing to prevent these lawless proceed
ings. The Tongshan colliery is stop
ped, 5000 men are out of employment
and the operation of the railroad is
suspended This destruction was wan
ton and unnecessary. All these pro-
ceedings indicate an anti-railroad ex-
citement which may result in postpon-
ing indefinitely any further railroad
enterprise in China.
