SANTA FEE SENSATION.
A Financial Sensation of Rare PrOpor-
tions Promised.

A Financial sensation OF FAro HEVRoE
tions Promised.
New York, Aug. "A morning paper
says: The Atchison road scandal Is
looming up as the chief financial event
of the day outside of national legisla-
ton. 1t promises to eclipse the sensa-
tions connected with the Reading or
Northern Pacific companies because
the Atchison, prior to Its insolvency,
was held in high repute by American
and foreign investors, and 1t was sup
posed to be conservatively and hon.
estly managed. The Northern Pacific
and Reading, on the other hand, have
rarely ever been free from criticism.
No end of scandals have been circu-
lated, and the men who managed them
and investors who bought the securi-
ties did SO with their eyes open to pos.
sible disclosures.
But the recent management of the
Atchison had been pointed to with
confidence, and when, shortly after
the panic of last year, 1t succumbed to
what was considered the general dis
tress, very little fault was found.
1t Is generally understood In Atchi-
son circles that at the meeting of the
reorganization committee next Tues
day there will be thorough ventila-
ton of the facts brought to light by
Expert Stephen Little, but which that
gentleman did not intend to become
public. One or more of the directors
will he present, and stormy time is
predicted.

Washington, Aug. G.-The resolution

to the investigation of the Dominion

substitute offered by Mr.. Mills in the
way of an addition to the original res
Olution providing that special COM
mittee of five should be directed to re-

Der of congress is or was interested in
any company engaged In mining coal
in any of the states of the United
States or any railroad company engag-
ed in transporting coal which would
come into competition with the Domin-
ion Coal Company, and whether its re-
moval would reduce the price of coal
to consumers and what section OF the
country would be benefited by Its re-
tention, came up to-day.
A discussion arose between Mr.. Mills
and Mr.. Chandler as to whether the
old sugar" committee should be in.
trusted with this investigation or
whether new committee should be
appointed. Mr.. Hill favored the re
tention Of the old company.
The resolution to investigate the DO
minion Coal Company went over un-
der the rules to-day without action,
and the conference report OH the river
and harbor bill was laid before the
senate for consideration.

Temperate Catholics.

st. Paul, Aug 2.-The w. G. T.U. ex.
tended fraternal greetings to the Cath.
ole Total Abstinence union and the
presentation of the delegation Of ladies'
who brought the greetings was ono
of the features of the day. 1t is very
likely that the convention will adopt
some radical resolution affecting the
position of Catholics towards tho
liquor business on the lines Of Bishop
Watterson's recent letter and especial
ly the position taken by the papal del
egate, Mgr. Satolll. Resolutions will
also be introduced opposing the can
didacy for public office of any person
Interested, indirectly or directly, In tho
liquor business. The first business
taken up to-day was the reports Of the
cities not connected with the union.
Wonderful growth is reported from
many sections. Many kilograms OF re-
gret Mt being unable to attend were

terson of Columbus, Ohio.

A NEW BOND ISSUE.
NOW AN IMPORTANT QUESTION
The Gold Reserve Down to o62,OOO,O 900
and no Prospect of Immediate Relief
from the Tariff Bill II Passed Promptly.

Washington, Aug. 8.-There are diff
ferences of opinion among treasury
officials as to the probabilities Of an
other bond issue. Neither Mr.. Carlisle
nor Assistant Secretary Curtis is will
ing to admit that there is any real
cause for alarm In the present finan-
cial situation. 1t is known, however,
the president and his advisers are
watching with eager interest every
change in the financial situation and
that every phase OF 1t Is DeIng care
fully and thoughtfully studied. Not
withstanding this solicitude, it is be-
lieved 1t is the judgment of the pres
ident that the situation does not fur
nish any just apprehension, and that
better times may be confidently expect
ed soon. FROM this point Of view, 1t
Is argued the passage Of the pending
tariff bill Is sure to result in IL prompt
and general revival of business, and
that In consequence there will be n
large increase in the government reve-
nue.. Receipts from customs, which
for many months past have been grad
ually growing less, it is believed, will
show marked improvement from the
until normal conditions have been
reached.
1t Is contended that, notwithstand-
ing the fact the gold reserve had reach
ed the low water mark Of about $52,-
OOO,OO0, the government is really ia:
better able to meet its obligations to-
day than it was just prior to the Feb
ruary bond issue. There are some,
however, who take II less hopeful view
Of affairs. They observe that the gold
reserve, which six months ago was
brought up to its normal condition by
an increase of $5O, O,OOO.OOO In the public
debt, is again melting away and al
ready reduced to n point $13,OOO,OOO
below the lowest point reached prior
to the February bond issue.
They contemplate with uneasiness
the fact that for year and more the
ordinary expenses Of the government:
have largely exceeded the receipts
This was true even during last month
when, in expectation of material in
crease OH the tax on whisky, the re-
ceipts of internal revenue were abnOr-
mally large. 1t is argued should the
pending tariff bill become n law and
go into operation even as early rs the
middle of the present month, no ma
terial increase in the revenue could
reasonably be expected earlier thar
next December, for the reason the tar
iff bill will have passed too late fol
the season to realize any considerable
amount from the fall impOrtatiOns.

South American Eruptions.

New York, Aug. A Herald dis
patch from Valparaiso says: A CORE
spondent in Lima, Peru. sends word
that reports of reliable nature indi-
cate popular feeling against the gov
crnment. There is almost reign of
terror in Lima and Callao.
Though all is quiet in Iquique, the
strike is still on in Callao, and for the
last four days vessels have been made
to load or discharge cargoes in that
port and the government seems unable
to end the strike.
Need is felt of the presence Of for
eign warships and their absence ut
such time excites much comment.
Word comes from Rio Grande do
Sui, Brazil, that the government troops
have surrounded the rebel General
Saraiva in fight near SOlado and his
situation is desperate.
Three thousand rebel Brazilians
have crossed from Rio Grande do Sui
into the province of Corrientes and the
governor has disarmed them.
Uruguay's minister of foreign af-
fairs has resigned, owing to II disa-
greement with the president over the

SENATE ABOUT THROUGH.
Tariff and Appropriation Bills Hold It
Together.


Washington, Aug 5.-With the tar
iff disposed of, the senate could proba-
bly, adjourn In three or four days. The
last of the general appropriation bills
has passed the house and a majority
of them have been signed by the pres
ident. Some of these bills are In con-
ference still, but II an argument on
them would bring an adjournment 1t
would not long be delayed, as there
are no irrecOncilable differences be-
tween the two houses on appropria-
tions. There is no measure other than
the tariff bill and the appropriation
bills which would be strong enough to
hold the senate together for even q
day. The probabilities for the week
include the tariff conference committee
report and subsequently debate and
also the presentation of the conference
reports on the sundry civil, river and
hnrbor, Indian and general deficiency
appropriation bills and the cOnsidera-
tion of the calendar when these more
important matters do not occupy po-
sitiOn to receive attention. The immi-
grafton bill will come up tomorrow
at o'clock, and in lieu of the tariff
may excite considerable debate. The
Republican senators are in n condition
to press the question of n further linn
itation Of immigration, but SO far the
Democrats in the senate have not
shown disposition to accept the chal-
lenge and they may choose TO permit
the Republicans to monopoliZe the dis
cussion Of the subject.

nne of Rus2IA'a Plans.

Chicago, Aug. 6.-The Posts Wash
ington special says Russia is planning
coup d'etat in Corea, and unless the
cars plans miscarry this will be ono
of the most sensational incidents Of
the war between China and Japan.
According to news received here, the
great northern bear intends to grab
one Of the most desirable ports of the
Hermit kingdom and establish sover-
eighty over it. The story to this effect
is pronounced of most authentic
character and leaves no doubt Of it's
trustwOrthiness in the minds Of the re-
cipients. The reason for Russia's
move is her desire for the southern
port which would be open to her COM
merce throughout the year. The only
port Russia now has on her Siberian
coast is closed during the rigors of
winter

Crushed In an leo Floc.-He Proceeds on
Foot.
Tronsoe, Norway, Aug. 2.-News Of
the Wellman Polar expedition has
been received. 1t was brought by the
sealer Malygen, Captain Petersen,
which arrived at Tromsoe to-day with
news dispatches from the expedition,
and also Captain Bottolfsen and three
sailors of the steamer Ragnavald Jarl,
the Arctic, but which has since been
wrecked. Captain Bottolfsen furnish
ed the following narrative Of the ex-
periences of the expeditions:
After several battles with ice, the
Regnavald Jarl arrived on May 12 at
Table Island, one Of the seven island
groups. The ice, however, compelled
return to Walden island, where Mr..
Wellman left the ship on May "a with
thirteen men, forty dogs and ITO days
provisions. After the party had estab-
lished depot they proceeded east
ward Il distance of sixty miles, thence
northeast, hoping to reach the land
that is believed to exist in that di-
rection.
Up to the day of the departure of
the sledge party the expedition had
had good weather, the worst being
only 20 degrees below zero.
The members of the party were in
good health when they left the ship.
They intended to return over the same
route by which they advanced.
On May %, four days after Wellman
and his companions left, the Ragna-
valid Jarl was broken up by the ice and
totally lost. The men in charge of her
managed to save some of the stores.
A message was sent to Wellmen in
forming him of the catastrophe and it
reached him at Martins island. Mr..
Wellman, Charles G. Bodge and two
others then returned to Walden island.
With material taken from the wreck
Of the ship, they built n good house to
accommodate the crew as a precaution
in case the expedition were compelled
to winter ut Walden. Wellman left
again to join the sledge party on May
81. He writes on the same date:
81 have decided to proceed as pre-
viously planned, except that intend
to return to Walden island not later
than September 1, and to be at Danes
island by September 15."
A vessel will be sent to meet him.

THE TARIFF TANGLE.
coNFERREEs STILL ARGUING.
Iron, Coal and Sugar Under Discussion
with y Slightly Better Prospect for an
AEreoment.-The Appropriation Bnls
About Completed.

Washington, Aug. 4.-When the
Democratic tariff conferrees adjourned
tonight after an all-day session 1t
looked as though they were nearer to
an agreement than ut any time thus
far. And yet the agreement itself,
which IL the great end in view, had
not been attained. The hopes Of the
conferrees last night that definite re-
suits would be reached and made pub
lie to-day failed to be realized. An
agreement on sugar had not been
reached beyond the possibility Of re-
call, nor had agreements been reached
on iron ore or coal. The day closed,
however, much better than it opened.
1t had brought out that the new sugar
schedule submitted as an ultimatum
by the conservative senators would be
accepted by the house conferrees and
that there was little else than the for
NAL and final announcement of this
acceptance to make the agreement on
sugar complete. So fully Satisfed
were the house cOnferrees that this
schedule would prevail that they
urged Its advantages on their col
leagues on the house side and pointed
out that in their opinion 1t would re-
duce the benefits to the trust by so per
cent over the original senate schedule.
In view of the fact that the PROPOSE
ton came from the senators, this Will
ingness Of the house men to point out
its advantageous features indicated
the common ground they were occupy
ing. Indeed, one of the conferrees
spoke of the results of the days work
as equivalent to an agreement on the
sugar schedule, but said it was not
.such binding agreement as cut on
the possibility of disagreeing to it on
Monday.
Thus 1t stands, with the conferrees
on the point of agreeing and yet not
actually Mt that point. AS to when
the quasi agreement will become an
absolute flnality the conferrees had no
definite idea when they separated to-
night.
