OMAHA, Aug. 9.-After a conference
lasting 10 hours, between the state,

thoroughly canvassed, the packers re-
fused to continue business tomorrow
without the presence of state troops,
anu the governor Issued the necessary
orders.
Two men and boy left the Cudahy
plant about o'clock and started for
home. A gang of strikers saw them
coming and when the men reached the
street the gang began to close in on
them. Drawing their revolvers they
pointed them directly at the heads of
men. "You come step toward me
and PHI blow your head Off" said one
of the men. His partner also l,veled
revolver in the same direction and
the strikers stopped and called po-

for work this morning and the force -,
at the packing houses were consider

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.--The month
ly report of the statistician of agricult-
ure shows a decline In corn of nearly
20 points since July /. Tho average
for the entire breadth is 81. against
95 for the month of July. The cordi-
ton for August, 1898, was 81. The
great decline was due almost wholly to
the extensive and unprecedented severe
drouth that set in since the last report
and to the hot, dry winds that swept
over the states of Nebraska, Kansas.
Iowa and parts of other western states.
In some localities the crop has been iu-

Tho Inquest Reveals That Only Eleven
Were Killed.
LINCOLN, Neb., Aug. 11.-Coroner
Grim Is holding an inquest over those
who persisted III the Rock I-land
wreck Thursday night. 1t is believed
that only IL people were killed out
right. Colonel Bills. the most i'm
portant witness examined, stated that
he saw man standing around (but
did not know whether he was black or
whlte) with crowblr. He was called
to the police station to see Davis. He
thought he was the man, but was not
positive. The detectives are perfectly
convinced of the guilt of Davis, and no
one Is allowed to see him.
The remains of eleven bodies of per-
sons who persisted in the terrible wreck
on the Rock Island were Identified
today. The report that A. X. Eddie
and Nj. Beaver are among the vic.
Tins proved to he false. They were
safe in their homes at Pawnee City.
The colored ex-conyict, George
Washington Davis. who wus arrested
last night on suspicion OF having
caused the wreck, neither affirms nor
denies the charge. He holds bad rec
ord and suspicion points very strongly
toward him. Should IL prove true that
he is guilty 1t will not be surprising II
the law should be relieved from passi II 9

very high here. AT the coroner's In

this III orning q special train left here
for visit to the scene of the Cunning

jury, court officials and G. ]. Black.
who is on trial charged with tho muir
der. The jury went over the road
alleged to have been travelled by Black
TO and from Columbia Fills, to the
spot where the body was found. The
prisoner compared them on tho
trip, and when the spot was reached
where the body was fourd, Black dis
played the only nervousness he has
shown since his arrest, and he strongly
endeavored 10 conceal his feelings.
The train returned here about 1870.
The most important testimony given
in the forenoon was thai of Charles
Miller. He sworo that about or
little after. some men passed his cabin
in Columbia Falls. They were carly
ing guns, and when he asked what
WAS the matter. Black said "C0me
on; n woman has been murdered up IN
the woods" Miller joined the crowd,
walking with Black. They went up
the road, and when they came near
the spot where the crime was commit
ted Black turned off and lead Miller
directly to where the body was lying.
The rest of the crowd being ahead,
kept right on up the road. Miller and
Alexander went over the route the
state claims Black took, in SO minutes.
According to the testimony Black had
a little more than an hour TO have
made the trip.
The trial grows more interesting
each day. DIR. Billiard of Helena, who
made chemical analysis of the stains
on Blacks clothing, will probably go
on the stand tomorrow. Black showed
little more interest in the trial this
afternoon than on any previous day.

Second-We declare our firm belief in The
doctrine of protection to American indus

recognize this as the foundation and car
dinal principles of the republican party.

ocratic party would substantially destroy
the American sheep husbandry, deprive
the farmer OF the market 1t affords for pas
turage, hay and grain, and require the pur-
chase of wool from foreign countries, and
thereby turn many out OF employ ment.
We demand such protection for sheep hus-

and mutton needed for consumption i'll the
United States. We also denounce especially,
the persistent and unfriendly legislation 10

declares itself in favor of unfolding and
maintaining the law and Furnishing all
violation of it under whatsoever pretense
such violation may be committed, and we
recognize no right as existing in any man
or body of men to violate or evade its pro-
visions directly or indirectly. We pledge
the party and those whom it shall eject tc
public office to maintain and defend per
sonal and property rights to the full extent
guaranteed by the law.
Fourih-We favor submission OF an equa

the vote of the people by the noxt legisla-

A REPORT DEMANDED
Tariff Conference and Senate
Affairs at a Crisis.
N0N-AGREEMENT ALMOST SURE
Hill Springs "A Sensation by Demanding
That the Tariff Conference Come
to Some Conclusion.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 10.-A crisis In |
tariff affairs was reached today both |
In the open senate and in secret coun-
ellis of the democratic tariff conferrees.
When the conference closed tonight it
was the understanding that the meet
ings would be suspended for the pres
emf. No time was set for reassembllng
the conference tomorrow or thereafter,
and 1t was also said that further
session might be necessary In case the
senate acted favorably tomorrow on
Senator Hill's resolution directing the
senate conferrees to report the stua-
ton of affairs.
The day opened with the senate
proposition for free sugar still before
the conference. Chairman Wilson
and his house associates were satisfied
that the tender of free sugar was not
made in good faith. and had therefore
requested the senate conferrees 10 fur
nish poll Of the senate, showing that
If the proposition was accepted 1t
would be adopted by the senate and
the bill passed. The poll disclosed that
in the event of the acceptance of the
free sugar amendment, the bill as
| Il
by 38 republicans, and by Senators
Kyle, Allen and PETER, popullsts, and
Gallery aud Blanchard, democrats,
total of 43 votes, CT sufficient to defeat
the bill. This poll was made Oh The
best judgment of The senate conierrees.
The house accepted it as showing con-
clusively that the tender of u free sugar
amendment, while made in good faith
by the senate conferrees. was the
means adopted by conservatives of de-
feating tariff legislation aud leaving
the Mex nley bill in force.
Defensive Alliance Formed.
Tie discussion brought out for the
| fl rst time the statement that defen-
slve alliance between certain senators
had proceeded further than mutual CO.
operation, and was now reduced to a
signed agreement. While the MEM
bers of the conference did not claim to
have seen the agreement they
stated as fact that SeEa-
tore, Kyle, Allen, Peff,r, Blanchard
and Gallery had reduced their under
standing to black and white and had
signed 1t to the effect that they would
vote against any bill which did not
contain d bounty clause for sugar. 1t
was while animated comments were
being made on the foregoing condi-
tions that word reached the confere n ce
of Senator HIPS couD d'etet in the
senate. The conference hastily adj
| jpurned, the senators going OH the floor
10 take part in the debate. AT 2 O'clock
the conference, or the remnant OF 1t,
again assembled with the Hill resolu-
ton aud the exciting debate thereon,
~ the main topic among them. Little
or no attempt was made TO take up the
Items or schedules, the talk being oil
the sensational general phases devel-
oped, and no progress was made up to
o'clock, when the conferrees separLt
ed without fixing the time of reassem
bling.

National Guard Of the United States,

his story is as follows:

dow the aisle. called to him TO sit
down aud the next instant the crash

was crowded with passengers and we
were forced along the backs of the seats
