THE EVERETT BILL.
1t VIII Be Amended and Sent to the
House Next Week

1t VIII Be Amended and Sent to the
House Next Week.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 13.-The admins
tration altered its determination with
reference to the Everett bill, extending
the limit allowed under the Geary act for
the Chinese to register to September l,
1894. last night at a conference held at
residence of Secretary Carlisle, at which,
in addition to the secretary, there were
present Secretary Gresham, Attorney
General Olney, and Representative
Geary OF California. The members of
the administration expressed the opinion
that the bill ought to be pushed through
both houses at once, and an intention
was manifested of insisting upon going
ahead with the bill today in the House.
Geary, however, pointed out radi-
cal defects in the bill which
would render its effects nugatory.
lie also declared the extension of time for
registering should be reduced to six
months; that the term "Chinese laborer"
should be specifically defined; and the
Imprisonment clause should be modified.
He also favored a provision inserted Tor
photographing all Chinese who registered.
1t was finally decided to agree to the
notifications and accordingly today the
bill was referred by the foreign affairs
committee to the sub committee that Will
meet tomorrow night.
Today it developed that Cleveland him
self is not anxious to press the bill for
fear it will complicate matters in the
Senate. In .fact he Is in favor Of the
House folding its hands and doing moth
ing until the Senate acts on the Sherman
repeal bill. This has been apparent for
several days with reference to the Tucker
bill repeating the existing federal cleo
ton laws. While the House leaders have
no desire to embarrass the president in
fighting late, they viii not agree to the
policy advanced by the White house.
The Tucker bill will not reach the stage
of debate this week, but early next week,
If the present policy of the controllers of
the destinies OF the House is adhered to,
the Tucker bill will go into the arena of
debate.
Meantime, the Everett bill will be
calmly modified in the committee and
possibly next week the amended bill Will
be pressed in the House.

DEATH is THEIR PORTION.
s1any Who soughta Home Have Found
Grave.


ARKANSAS City, Kan. Sept. 1s.-One
hundred degrees OF heat in the shade, the
air filled with suffocating dust and the
hot winds blowing across the parched
prairie, were the severe conditions that
boomers along the Cherokee line were
forced to endure today.
At this place over fifty were overcome
by the heat, most of them being in the
line before the registration booths. Six
have died and others are in critical con-
dition.
AtCaldwell, thirty 1.-TWO were sunstruck,
two dying.
At Orlando, there were twenty-five
sunstrokes and two deaths, and at Hen
messy eighteen strokes and one death.
The indications are that tomorrow will
be repetition of today. The crush at
the registration booths has become SO
great that from now on they will be kept
open day and night. During the three
days ended tonight, AZ. 300 certificates
have been issued. The total number of
certificates does not indicate the number
of homeseekers, for most OF the boomers
take out certificates for both homestead
and town lots. The Santa Fe brought in
sixty five carloads OF people today. The
majority coTnessimpiy to see the fun.
At Orlando today the soldiers brought
fifty-three ''socners" into camp, and
more are reported to be concealed along
the streams in the forbidden land. The
boomers, in order to get rid OF the specu-
lators, will not permit any one in the line
to sell his place. In consequence the line
is thinned considerably today, and is now
composed wholly of bona fide home seek
ers. The Rock Island took 5000 people
into Caldwell today and many more are
coming tomorrow.
: The Young People Society of Christian
Endeavor has undertaken to relieve the
suffering caused by lack of water. The
Leavenworth society has pledged money
to pay the expenses of hauling water from
Arkansas City to the booths, and three
water carts were put into service today.

FREDERICK L. AMEs DEAD.
He Was Found Lying in His Berth Early
Yesterday Morning.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-Frederick L.
Ames, the millionaire vice-p president of
the Old Colony railroad and director OF
the Union Pacific, was found dead this
morning. He left Boston lastI evening to
attend a meeting of the Union Pacific di-
rectors here. Today he was found lying
in his berth. He evidently died some
time during the night. The coroner Wis
ited the boat and made an examination,
but has made no report yet. Reporters
were excluded from the boat. Rumors
are prevalent that an official examination
and autopsy would reveal the cause of
death as entirely different from that given
to the public. He was reputed to be
worth $25, 100000 He held immense in
terests in railroad stocks and is said to
have been a director in at least sixty rail-
ways. at one time he held a vast amount
of Union Pacific stocks.
Deputy Coroner Conway, after viewing
the remains, gave it as his opinion that
death was due to apoplexy.

A LONG AND BITTER FIGHT.
The Silver Senators Have Donned Their
War Paint


WASHINGTON. Sept. 13.-[special. J.
Much interest was felt in the remarks OF
Senators Dubois and Shoup in the Senate
today, and the positive stand taken by
each indicates clearly that the western
men are determined to resist to the bitter
end the efforts made to pass Voorhees,
bill.
Daniel of Virginia will tomorrow take
the floor and will speak for two days in
behalf of silver.
Morgan Of Alabama has his war paint
on. and is said to have informed President
Cleveland that unless he agrees to fair
and reasonable compromise the pending
fight will continue Tor many months.
The president shows no signs of yield
ing, and al indications point to long
and bitter struggle.

Eastern Hen Who Threaten the Whisky
Trust.

CHICAGO, Sept. 13.-Afser hot discus
sion lasting three hours. at the confer
ence between the Whisky trust and the
American Distillery company, recess
was taken without reaching an agree
ment. The trust distributes its product
through the company east of Pittsburg.
The company wants an explicit agree
ment with the trust to secure a continu-
ance of this arrangement. The recent
move of the trust to establish its own
agencies have brought about meeting of
eastern men who threaten, in case they
cannot get favorable terms, to establish
distilleries of their own.

SOUTHERN PACIFIC MORTGAGE.
C. 2. Huntington Gives the Reason for
Issuing 1t.

NEW YORK, Sept. 13.-C. P. Hunting
ton said in response to inquiries concern
ing the Southern Pacific Railroad COM
pany's new mortgage: 'The new mort
gage will be first lien on all the COM
pany's property, including the lands.
The company has built during the past
two years over 100 miles, on which there
is no lien, and the new mortgage will be
first lien on this mileage. The balance
of the new bonds will be issued gradually
and only as the construction of new mile
age requires. The issue of this mortgage
is in the line of the general policy
adopted by almost all large companies of
the present day-to mortgage all lines
into unified form consolidated loan,
which shall cover the whole system. OF
course, it is mistake to suppose, as the
western dispatches indicate, that there is
any hostile feeling on our part against
the Atchison or other road, or that snch
feeling has anything to do with the
authorization of this mortgage. Our re-
lations with Atchison are very friendly. !"

OMAHA, Sept. 13.-Grand Chief Arthur

being put in possession of all the facts
Arthur sided with the company. He de-
clared that no engineer would be upheld
in drinking while on duty. This settles
the whole affair.
The engineers are not as especially
interested in the wage reduction on the
Union Pacific as they are on the schedule,
and only suffer through reduced mile

The Proposed Amendments Referred to =
Sub Committee.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 18.-The House
committee on foreign affairs met thia
morning to consider the Chinese exclu-
sion matter. Chairman McCreary laid
before them the bill introduced by Ever
EFT of Massachusetts, which is understood
to be an administrative measure, and
suggested that inasmuch as several
Americans deemed it advisable it had bet
ter be referred to a subcommittee At
ter some discussion this action was de-
cided upon and the bill referred 10 the
sub committee, consisting of Chairmen
McCreary and Everett. Pitt and Hermer.
The subcommittee meet on Thursday.
The Everett bill simply provides for an
extension of time OF registration one

will reduce the time OF the limit to six
months, and as there are also questions
about what constitutes a Chinese la
borer, that term viii be specifically de-
fined. Other amendments will lock to

FOOD AND DIARY COMMISSION.
Two Essentials for Baking Pow
der That Will Make Perfect
Rread

The late report of the Minnesota
State Food and Diary Commission
contains the result of a series of ex-
periments made by Prof. G. w. Drew,
State Chemist, TO determine the
strength and keeping qualities OF the
various baking powders.
The report attaches great Importance
these experiments. Baking powders
that vary in strength, or that readily
lose strength before use, are unreliable
and will not give even results; besides.
it is an indication of the use of im-
proper ingredient in their compound.
ing. The tests showed the strength or
leavening power of the Royal very
much greater than that of the others.
The uniformity of strength of all the
samples or Royal tested. no matter
what their age, was remarkable. Its
leavening power was practically unim-
paired even in the oldest specimens.
The difference in the amount of leav-
ening gas in different samples of the
other brands was 50 great as 10 seii-
ously impair their usefulness in bak
ing. AS much as 81 per cent loss was
found in samples 9 few months old.
All the samples of Royal examined by
State Chemist Drew were reported of
satisfactory strength and quality.
Dir. Drew states that the Royal
being of greater strength than any
other, and possessing better keeping
qualities. it is the natural conclusion
that it is the best baking powder
made.
