Tariff Conference Concluded.

| special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 26.-The senate
will on Monday consider the conference
report on the tariff bill, and the bill will
| go to the president Monday night or
| Tuesday. senator Aldrich says congress
| can adjourn next Tuesday, but the gen.
eral impression is that an adjournment
will not be reached before the end of the
week or the Monday following. There
is deal of feeling among Southern
members about the proposed change in
rate of bounty on sugar between so and
80 degrees polarization test. They claim
that it is contrary to the rules of both
houses for the oonferees to make such
change in an item on which both
houses had agreed. Carlisle will make
this point against the item in the senate.
It is claimed by the Republicans though
that there was general agree
ment between the two houses
on the sugar schedule, which
warrants the proposed change in the
county. Some anxiety is felt about the
attitude of Western senators toward the
binding Irvine agreement. Senator
Paddock is much put out by the con-
lOAScs IepOlL u6 IdS slhLGu LulS ahlCI-
noon that he will vote against the con-
ference report. 1t is not known how
many of the recaIcitrant senators will
think these will be enough to defeat the
report.
THE DUEL AT LEXINGTON, VA.
Frank W. Commico of Texas, q stu
dent at the military academy, Le1ing-
ton, Va. and Warren Taliaferro of Vir-
ginia engaged IN q fight yesterday after
noon, from the effects of which the latter
died to-day. Commico is so badly III
jured that he has been speechless and
unconscious every since. He has many
friends here who speak of the tragedy
with sadness and regret.
INDIAN SUPERSTITION.
Capt. Trim bleton of the Seventh
United States cavalry and commandsnt
at Fort Sill, says that the Indians have
got the impression that the great medi-
cine man Is once more about to visit the
earth. Thousands of Indians are for
saking their places and agricultural oo-
equations to sulk in solitude when they
are not conducting wild orgies to well
come the great medicine man. The ma
joritv of the Christian Indians have re-
nounced their adopted religion and in
dulge in alleged religious services, which
include worship and bathing. The cap
tain says the most serious uprising of
many years is certain to come very soon.
