NOTHING WAS ACCOMPLISHED.
The Caucus Decided Not to EN-
barras the House Conferees.
1t Took the Democrats of the House an
Hour and n Half to Arrive at This
CSncluoion-The Promoters of the
Caucus Disappointed at This Action.

WASHINGTON, Aug. THE Hous,
Democratic caucus to day lasted an hour
and half and adjourned after deciding
that the House conferees On the tariff
bill should not be embarrassed by in.
structions OF any character from their
Democratic associates. This action of
the caucus was disappointing to its pro-
motors who had hoped for q different
result whereby speedy settlement of
the matters in dispute between the two
Houses might be reached.
Another Disappointment awaited these
present In that Mr.. Wilson, chairman
OF the ways and means committee, failed
TO inform the caucus what progress the
conferees had made; what PROPOSITIONS
had been agreed on by the representa-
tives OF the two houses, and whom in
MS opinion report could be made. Nor
did Speaker Crisp, who spoke at length.
threw any light upon the situation.
For the most what he said was that
an agreement might be reached at an
early day, while he dampened the
spirits OF those who are pressing for an
early adjournment by saying that Con-
gress might remain in session 90 DAYS
but that tariff bill satisfactory to the
country would be passed before it adj
journed.
feature Of the proceedings was the
statement N ade by Boatner, OF Louisiana,
on the authority of Senator Mills, that
the House must recede from its obiec-
ton to the Senate amendments and
agree to them If the passage OF a tariff
bill is to be expected. The character
ization OF this declaration by Mr.. Cooper,
Of Indiana, as bluff" seemed likely
for moment TO result in an acriminous
debate. 1t did not, however, so result
and the entire proceedings we're charac-
feeli n.y.

"A THRILLING EXPERIENCE,
Efforts to Hold Up An EXPIRES, Train
Satlled.


Banled.
CLEVELAND, Aug. Lake Shore ex-
press train No. 10, arriving from the
West, pulled into the Union Station this
morning after having enjoyed most
thrilling experience on the plains of
Indiana.
An attempt was IN Ade late last nigh t
to hold up the train at Kessler, Ind,
upon the identical spoS that the train
was held up last fall. The train was
just approaching split switch at Kess.
Ter when the engineer noticed that the
switch was turned so as to run tho
train on the siding upon which big OBJ
struction OF ties and lumber had been
piled
The obstruction did not appear to be
impossible and the engineer put on
steam and dashed through the pile pass
ing safely on to the main track through
the split switch at high rate of speed
AS the train passed the obstruction the
engineer noticed g group OF masked men,
and as the engine cleared the track of
all obstacles, the would be highwaymen
Heed several shots into the train, none
OF which, however, took effect.
The United States express car was
attached to the train, and had ON board
q large amount OF money. tbs thought
that this was known to the robbers who
attempted to hold up tho train. Their
disappointment in carrying out their
plans OF stopping the train by piling
distractions upon the track was evinced
In their firing of the shots when thew
saw their plans had been foiled by the
boldness of the engineer in dashing
through the heap OK ties upon the track
