AT THE DANGER POINT.
Changes in the Senate Bill May Cause the
Defeat Of the Whole Tariff Measure.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July 90
To-day was one of dramatic interest
in the Senate. The friends of the
tariff bill wore anxious faces and
more than once during the day felt
that the very danger point had been
reached. The enemies of the bill at
times believed they would be able to
defeat it. When the adjournment
came the situation was still perplex-
ing. The Senate proceedings proper
were Of peculiar nature, in that the
debate was carried on entirely by the
Democrats, save n brief speech by
Senator Sherman and question by
Senator Aldrich. The principal
speeches of the day were those of
Senators Hill and Vest, though
others contributed TO the interest Of
the occasion. Senator Hills posi-
ton in indorsing the President in
emphatic terms was one of the most
conspicuous incidents OF the day.
Senator Vest took occasion to talk
i'm plain terms in defense of the right
of the Senate and House to manage
its conference without executive in
reference. His criticisrl of the Pres
ident's course and the action of Mr..
Wilson was more severe than was
expected. The acton of Senator
Villas in preceding his speech with
a motion 10 strike out the one e-eighth
differential on sugar, was an addi-
tional sensation of sensational day
from the fact that it was probable
that the motion would carry. 1t
caused CONSERVATION until it was
found that the motion may be de-
cl1red out OF order.
The statement of Senators Smith
and Blanchard were important, in
dicating that change in the sugar
schedule might mean the loss OF
their votes, while Senator Blanchard
stated decidedly that he would not
vote for the bill if this change was
made. Senator Gray's vigorous
speech was enlivened by brisk
colloquy with Senator Hill. The ex-
citing days proceedings closed with
an affirmative motion to adjourn
over until Monday.

If the provisions of the bill in this
respect are carried out by the com
panies, then the debt to the Gov

be paid off in semi-annual Install

the scale of payments gradually in

ton of the time every dollar due
the Government would be paid.

For Tariff Reform.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 10
The Democrats of the House of Rep.
resentatives to-day, without a divis-
ion Of sentiment. so far as the sur
face indications were concerned, and
amid Il scene of unparalleled enthusi-
asm, sent the tariff bill back to con.
ference with instructions to the con-
ferees to stand firm against the
amendments which the Senate had
placed upon the bill. A special or
der was brought in from the Com
mittee on Rules, which limited the
debate on the motion to disagree to
two hours, and was so worded as to
prevent specific instructions on sugar
or any otter particular schedule.
In the preliminary debate over
the adoption of this resolution, Rep
resentative Johnson, the radical free
trader from Ohio, protested against
the course of procedure that would
give the House no opportunity to
give specific instructions on sugar.
The debate on the adoption of the
motion instructing the House
to insist on its disagreement
was practically confined to Chair
man Wilson on the one hand
and ex-Speaker Reed on the other,
although short speeches were made
by General Wheeler, of Alabama,
and ex-Speaker Grow, of Pennsyl-
vania, before the vote was taken.
The utterances of Mr.. Wilson,
who was suffering intense pain and
whose head was bound with q silk
handkerchief, that extended to his
chin, so that he was practically
blindfolded, created the most in
tense enthusiasm among his Demo
cratic colleagues.
Every sentiment he uttered in OPP.
position to the concessions which
the Senate sought to force was APP
plauded to the echo and the climax
was reached when lie sent to the
clerk s desk and had read a letter
from President Cleveland declaring
that the future welfare of theDemo'
cratic party depended upon the
adherance to the Democratic prin'
cipies upon which the House bill
was framed. Mr.. Reeds reply also
met with uproarous applause from
his political colleagues. The mo-
ton to disagree was adopted with
out division and the Speaker re-
appointed the old conferees.
After the tariff bill had been sent
back to conference the conference S
reports on the naval, military and
diplomatic appropriation bills were
agreed to and the House began the
consideration of a resolution for
Il constitutional amendment look
ing to the election of Senators by the
people. The consideration of this bill
under special order adopted will
continue tomorrow, and on Satur'
day bill will be considered to re-
establish railway mail clerks dis
missed between March Is, 1889, land
May 1, 1889.

PACIFIC ROAD isERTS.
Adjustment Biil TO BE Reported Fav-
0rably and Affairs Wound up.

WASHINGTON, d. c., July 90
After many months devoted to an
exhaustive consideration of the sub
lect, the House Committee on Pa
cific Railways, by vote of 10 yeas
to 5 nays, has agreed to report fav-
orably the Reilly bill, looking to the
adjustment of the Indebtedness of
the Central and Union Pacific rail.
ways to the United States.
The main purpose of the bill is
not only to effectually secure the
enormous debt due to the Govern
ment, without the investment of an
other dollar, but also to absolutely
wind up the relations between the
Government and these companies.
The bonds for which the Govern
ment is liable fall due from January,
1895, to January, 1899, and The
bill in its first section provides the
method OF as 2ertaining the present
worth Of the debt, as of the first of
January, 1895, and the amount OF
the Indebtedness.
There is to the credit of the
Union Pacific in the sinking fund
about S15, ,000,0 in round figures,
and To the credit OF the Central
Pacific about sG,000,000. This is
not any of the public moneys of the
I nited States, but has been accum-
ulated by annual payments made
by the companies under the pro.
visions Of the Thurman act, so that
1t does not involve the taking of
dollar out of the public moneys.
Part OF this sinking fund, as now
constituted, is composed of some of
these first mortgage bonds which,
under the terms of the bill, are to
be cancelled, and the balance of the
sinking fund to be applied at the
discretion of the Secretary of the
Treasury, when the companies have
provided in a manner satisfactory TO
him, for the payment and discharge
of the said first mortgage in full.
This would require the Union

we are glad TO note that the press and

and property and the government.
There are not half dozen people in
the entire cOuntry-and one OF them
we hear is in NIissouri-who find fault
with President Cleveland's prompt
and courageous action in the troubles
which have just passed away. He did

people is crystallizing into the convic-
ton that there is human aggregation

While the strike resulted in loss of
life and property the prompt action
of President Cleveland nipped the
serious part of the trouble in the bud.
I There are some lessons to be learned
and some benefits from what occurred.
The chief benefit of this strike to the
country at large has been in the intro
duction into the labor question of a new
element - the Federal Government.
This does not mean the Federal army.
Whatever may be the general Opin-
ion, the fact is that the Federal troops
have not in this strike interfered with
anything but Federal matters; that's,
in transportation of mails and to a
/ very limited extent of interstate COM
merce. There was Il great deal OF
D., rash talk at first as to what Federal
troops might, could, would or should
do, but the fact is that the preserva-
ton of the peace and the protection OF
property have been a strong moral
influence in the State situation.

ference was the action of the President

The labor troubles are passing away
for time at last and we sincerely
trust that some plan will be adopted
so that labor can be protected without
such suicidal action as the last strike.

For the Health of the Eye.

Everybody should have his own bed,
towel, sponge and soap, make his hand
toilet 10 running water, live and sleep
in well-ventilated rooms, and come IN
der the cleansing, refreshing influence
OF outdoor air and sunshine at least one
hour every day OF his life, for the health
of his eyes. Roller towels, family
wash rags and the habit of using
bath or basin of water second time
produce more diseases OF the eye and
ear than all the fevers on the list OF
plaques. There are forty-three dis
eases OF the eye and more than half
are contagious. Fully twenty-five per
cent. Of the sore eyes among babies and
young children and eleven per cent
among adults are preventable. The
most common disease, granulation Of
the lids, is contagious aud should be
auarantined. In the surgical wards OF
public aud private institutions towels
are frequently burned and bandages
and dressings always re moment after
use. Cataract patien' IRE put in sepa-
rate rooms in isolated wards. In all
serious cases surgeons change their
clothes, aud often wear Enclosed spec

OF sight too much care cannot be taken
