FOR RIVERS AND HARBORs.
The Senate Increasing the Bills
Appropriations Enormously.

Appropriations Enormously.
WASHINGTON, June 15.-The senate
committee on commerce, which has
been handling the river and harbor bill
for a little less than two weeks, will
likely report it to the senate by the
middle of this week. Senator Frye
says he expects to have it ready
Wednesday. By refusing to give hear
ings to any but senators and members
of the house and eX-SenatOrs and ex-
members, the committee has simplifed
it's work very materially and has has
tened the completion of the bill by
several weeks. The bill as it came
from the house appropriated O,000, 900.
The increases thus far made by the SEN
ate committee aggregate about $4,000
600. Other increases will be
offered in the senate and
urged there, and it is likely
the bill will go into conference with
an aggregate of $25,000,0 900, or very lit
tie less. 1t is currently reported at the
capitol that the speaker of the house
has said that he will not allow the bill
to go through unless it is scaled down
25 per cent from the amount appro-
priated by the house bill-that is, unless
Tile aggregate dpprOpIlaIlOH is reduced
to about S15.000,000. This means that
the bill will be in conference for long
time. probably month. Mr.. Reed has
the appointment of the conferees, and
he can instruct them at the time of their
appointment, if they are willing to take
instructions from him. Mr.. Frye, the
chairman of the committee on COM
merce, will make an effort to have the
bill taken up and disposed of before the
tariff debate begins, so that the long
conference will have a chance to be
concluded before congress takes its
summer recess.

The Duty on Tobacco.

WASHINGTON, June 15.-The position
of the tariff bill is very well outlined.
Only two schedules have not been COM
pleted. and the action of the Republi-
can members of the committee on them
has been very we'll foreshadowed. The
sugar schedule. it is understood. will
remain as it was in the house bill-free
of import with bounty to domestic
producers. On tobacco it is thought
the reduction from the present rate of
duty proposed by the Mckinley bill
will be struck out. With these sched-
ules disposed of. the bill will be ready
to go to the senate. It will be reported
probably earlier III the week, but it is
likely debate Oh it will not begin until
the week following. 1'

Politics Mixed.

EVANSVILLE, Ind, June 30.-The
farmers and labor organizations in this
portion of Indiana are connected for
the legislature and congress in order to

a few localities the Prohibitionists will
make separate nominations. Altogether,

THE PEOPLE STARVING.
A Narrowing Tale Brought From
Newfoundland.

HALIFAX, N. s., June 15.-The
steamer Harlow, which was ordered at
Bay st. George, N. F., not to land any
OF her cargo. arrived back here
to-day. Capt. Farquehar reports that
when he reached Bay st. George and
landed to enter his vessel at the custom
house, the collector of customs hand
ed him written notice to the effect
that he would not be permitted to land
any goods consigned to people there.
The notice stated that the ground for
this action was the refusal of the
people to pay customs duties TO
the Newfoundland government. and
that If the Harlow landed any cargo i'm
the face of this order the steamer would
be seized. Capt. Farquehar says there
was no excitement, the people were de-
termined not to pay duties on importa-
ti0ns, and raised no objections to his
proceeding on his voyage without
landing their goods. The Harlow con-
sequently continued her voyage up the
Newfoundland coast, getting as far
north as Flower Cove, where the peo-
pie were found 10 be in a destitute and
deplorable condition for want of food.
The Harlow was the first vessel to arrive
there this season, and her appearance
was hailed with joy. Fortunately
the steamer had on board provi-
sions consigned to Bay st. George, and
at the urgent request of the local relief
committee landed porter for distri-
button among the starving people. On
calling at Bay st. George on the return
voyage it was found that the residents
and the island government had
come to an understanding, by which
the former agreed to continue to
pay customs duties on tie promise Of
the authorities to consider their griev-
ances. Therefore the goods remaining
on board were put ashore. Capt. Far1
quehar brought letter signed by Rev.
u. Raymond Howells, a Church of Eng
land clergyman at Flower Cove. giving
narrowing statements of the condit
tiOns under which the population
of his extensive district have managed
to exist during the past nine months.
He asserts that the colonial governments
failed to respond to several appeals for
aid which were made last fall. and for
that reason during the long months
until the steamer Harlow called there
most of the people were on the verge OF
starvation, food having to be dOled
out in quantities only sufficient to keep
life in their bodies. Early in December
a man had to be employed to travel on
foot distance of $50 miles, at the risk
of his life, over barren, sparsely-in-
habited shore. in order to reach
telegraph station to communicate with
the authorities at ST. Johns, urging
them to send provisions. This was the
I second or third appeal, and the steamer
Was then discharged from st. Johns,
but it was too late i'll the season and she
was unable to get through the
ice to Flower Cave. The peo-
pie were reduced to such extreme
want that they had nothing to
tions of Rev. MIR. Howells no lives were
lost, but when the Harlow arrived some
were hanging to life only by thread. !.

GROUND TO PULP.
Two Chicago Boys Meet an Awful
Death.

CHICAGO, June 1.-two victims of
their own terror met fearful death this
afternoon in full view of the hundreds
of promenaders on the lake front park.
Otto and Herman Berta had left the
park and were crossing the network of
railway tracks skirting the edge of Lake
Michigan when an inbound passenger
train, coming at headlong speed, at
tracted suddenly the attention of each
of the lads. Both boys hesitated as to
whether they should turn back or
continue Oh their way. The longer
they waited the more undecided
apparently they became. The engi-
neer, recognizing the boys peril, blew
his whistle a terrific blast. This. IN
stead of warning the two brothers,
seemed to only add to their fright, and
each stood to all appearances literally
unable to move. The train struck and
killed them instantly. Herman's body,
smashed to pulp, ascended high in the
air. while Otto;s was ground under the
wheels, the head rolling aside as though
from a guillotine. 1t was some mo-
ments before the throng of pleasure
seekers. equally spellbound with the
little victims, recovered sufficiently to
aid in gathering the remains.

IN ORIGINAL PACKAGES.
Kansans Can Now Get Full if
They WISH

Topeka. Kan, June 15.-The orig
inal package liquor dealers feel jubi-
liant over the decision of Judge Camp
bell of the United States circuit court
handed down yesterday afternoon. The
decision is against the state in accord
ance with the recent supreme court de-
cision. The cases were dismissed. The
court asserts that the original package
agents had the right to import and sell
the liquor, and the state had no right to
interfere by seizure or otherwise. No
attempt to sell packages has been made
since the arrest of the first lot. Places
have been closed, but the stocks remain
intact, and preparations are being made
to open this week. Application will be
ma lie to dissolve the injunction in the
district court tomorrow.
