WASHINGTON, Sept. 23.-The Repub-
lican tariff conferees took a respite from
their labors tonight. The situation Is
now such that no good, it is thought,
can come of talking the matter over fur
Their. The conferees have turned upon
them all the light that can be diffused
upon the only items in the bill now un
settled-sugar and binding Irvine, and
when they adjourned tonight it was
hoped hat by tomorrow one side or the
other will show a disposition to yield.
The basis on which the metal and glass
ware schedules, which caused much
contention, were settled tonight was
that the rate on steel rails
and structural iron should remain
as in the house bill and the duty on steel
billets is fixed at a rate lower than pro-
vlded for BY the house bill and higher
than fixed by the senate. These were
three of the principal items IN this sched-
ule in dispute. The rates liked on the
other items in the sche Iule cannot be
given. but are very genel Ally lower than
the house and higher than the senate
rates. This last statement applies also
to the glassware schedule on
which there were a great
NAM differences in rates between
the two branches ef congress. The to-
hacco clauses of the internal revenue sec
ton of the bill remain as fixed by the
house with the exception of the tax on
tobacco and snuff which is reduced two
cents instead of four cents, making the
rate provided in the bill six cents a pound.
MAY J is fixed as the period when the to-
bacco clauses of the measure go into
effect. Special licenses on dealers are
abolished as provided for by the house.

SPRINGFIELD. ILL.,, Sept. 23.-John
Faulds, who escaped from the Kaukakee
Insane Asylum some time ago, was de-
clarcd sane by a Jury last night. Many
years ago Faulds was a wealthy citizen of
Vermillion County, this state, but lost
his property through an unfortunate
business venture. About this time his
mind seemed to partially fail and he
committed larceny. For this he was
arrested and tried. Insanity was set up
as a defense. He was adjudged insane
and sent to the hospital instead of to
prison. This was Twenty-Five years age
and he would have probably remained a
prisoner for life If he had not forced the
proceeding to regain his liberty. DR..
Dewy, the superintendent of the hospital,
was present and testified hat the man
was insane, but the Jury disregarded his
testimony.

MARsHALLTowN, Iowa, Sept. 23.-One
of the main streets OF this city was the
scene Of a contest this morning that
threatened to end in bloodshed. The city
has been up in arms over the efforts OF
the Chicago, st. Paul, & Kansas City
Railroad to lay another track on Nevada
street, one Of the principal thoroughfares,
against the wishes Of tie property owners
and the whole city. A construction train
arrived from Des Moines this morning at
6 O'Clock with a hundred t~racklayers on
board, and they went to work at once
putting down ties. The noise aroused
one of the adjoining property owners and
he at once notified the mayor. As soon
as possible a force of thirty men armed
with revolvers and guns was organized
and the tracklayers ordered to get out or
be used as targets. They laid down their
tools and beat a hasty retreat.

LONDON. Sept. 3.-Considerable sur
prise has been created by the evidence
that while Great Britain is annexing a
large part of Africa for the professed pur-
pose OF abolishing slavery, and bringing
to the natives the benefits OF civilization.
there are not less than 5000 slaves in the
British territories on the Gold coast. The
English authorities in that region Of west
Africa discourage any attempt at enforc-
ing the general law which forbids slavery
in the dominions OF Great Britain. and
the colonial authorities have gone so far
as to order the return OF slaves to their
owners, when residents opposed to slavery
had made complaint. Not only are me-
groes held in bondage in this British col
ony. but they are procured from the in
terror TO be sold into slavery elsewhere,
the business having OF late considerably
increased. The government has promised
to investigate the matter. but the only
remedy would seem to be the removal Of
the present authorities and appointing in
their places officials who are unwilling to
tolerate slavery and the slave trade.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The depart
ment of state has received from the
United States legation at Pekin, China, a
report relative to the recent heavy floods.
The report says the floods are the most
serious ever known. An area of three
thousand miles and a population of
several millions was affected by them.
Many people were drowned and tens of
thousands are living on charity. One re-
suit of the floods may have far reaching
consequences. Near LutAi, which is a
point ou the railway, the embankment
was destroyed by the people for miles.
1t was alleged that the em~bankment was
damaged by water and flooded the
country. Its supposed that the general in
command at LutaI, either instigated or
connrived at these proceedings in which
the soldiers largely took part. A very
serious feature of the case is the %supineness
of Viceroy Lii. He has done nothing %
prevent these lawless proceedings. The
Tong Shan colliery is stopped. three thous-
and men are out of employment and the
operation oil the railroad suspended. This
destruction was wanton and unnecessary
All these proceedings indicate an anti
railroad excitement, which may result in
~postponing indefinitely any further rail
road enterprise in China.

SAN Francisco, Sept. 23.-Late
adyices from the South Sea Islands tell a
startling story of the labor or semi-slave
treatment of island savages. Whole
islands in the Solomon group in New
Hebrides, and in other sections of
Polynesia, have been ~depopulated by the
ravages Of men employed to seize and
transport natives to the plantations Of
New Caledonia and the Fiji Islands.
Scarcely a vessel arrives here from Aus
tralia that does not bring news of the
massacre OF some white trader or skipper
by natives who have been gradually driven
into desperation by the treatment they
have received from the whites. Thirty
or more vessels are engaged in the nefar-
ious traffic and men are becoming wealthy
at the business. II. 2. Osbourne, second
mate of the barkentine Tropic Bird, re-
recently arrived from Tahiti, in the
Society Islands. says false crews of nativs
are now carried on vessels engaged in
the labor trade 10 be used as decoys in en-
ticing the island natives on shipboaId.
Osbourne was for two wears employed on
the Albatross, one OF the vessels engaged
in the slave traffic. Men are being dis
guised as missionaries to cntice savages on
board ship, he said, under promise of a
life Of religious ease, with plenty to a
and no work to do. Edward Talbot,
sailor, merchant and mechanic, arrived
in this city on Friday, after nearly ten
years residence 10 the South Sea Island.
During the past two years he has resided
at ffferent ports in the Society Islands,
New Caledonia, Humphrey Islands and
other out-of the-way localities Of Oceanica.
He gave an astonishing account of the
developing of the labor traffic in the South
Sea Islands, in which, at the present
writing, about thirty English and French
vessels are engaged, and which has
resulted in no less than 10000 native
savaRes being taken into slavery.
