"A Bill to Make All Sessions of Congress
and Its Committees Public.

"a Dill W . AL 5CSSAOL
and Its Committees Public.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-Representa-
tive Richards Of Ohio has introduced in
the house a bill involving an important
change in the manner Of conducting
the work Of congressional committees.
This bill will provide that every session
Of legislative body Of the national con-
gress shall be open to the public. If it
passes, it will effectually do away with
star chamber proceedings in all congress
sional matters. The bill states that all
committees and subcommittee consid-
ering proposed legislation referred to
them; shall admit the public on all occa-
sions when such matters are considered.
Audit shall be unlawful for either Of
the bodies herein designated to hold any
meeting for the transaction Of business
in secret. This provision includes the
executive session Of the senate and of
the conference committee. In speaking
of the bill MI. Richards said that its
purpose is to allow the people the most
ample opportunity to be informed Of
their representatives in Washington
and as to their doings. This he believes
that letting in the light Of publicity
on8all official acts Of legislation, will re-.
suit in reducing opportunity for fraud
and for conspiracies in legislation.

Mills TARIFF ideas,
They Are Embodied in a Resolution
Introduced By the Senator
From Texas. ,
TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY,

Raw Material Clause--Tarif
Conference.

WASHINGTON, Aug. Tn the senate
q resolution was introduced by Mr..
Mills and ordered to lie on the table
temporarily, declaring that in the re-
vision Of the existing system Of national
taxation, the following principles should
be observed:
First-That all taxes are burdens on
the taxpayers and can only be right
fully imposed to raise revenue to sup
port the government.
Secondhand when taxes are imposed
upon imported goods, the rate should
be so low as not materially to restrict
importations, and
Third-That in selecting articles to
be taxed, only those ready for consump-
ton should be chosen, and those i'm
ported for manufacture or remanufacture
should be exempt.

CHICAGO, Aug. 5.-After a struggle of
40 days against the united railroads, the
American Railway union in Chicago
has declared off the strike inaugurated
in behalf of the Pullman employees. Be-
ginning in the morning each member of
the union who responded to the order to
strike will be at liberty to resume work.
AT a meeting Of the delegates of the
"a local labor unions affiliated with the
"A. R. U. during the afternoon it was
voted to declare the strike off in Chi
cago, except On the Santa Fe and Chi
cago and Eastern Illinois. The action
was purely local, and the declaration
does not even affect Pullman. Neither
President Debs nor any Of the A. R. U.
national officials were present at the
meeting. In fact President Debs had
left the city for Terre Haute before it
occurred.

Measures of Importance Passed During the
Present Session.
WASHINGTON, Aug GA review Of
the legislation which has been accom-
plished BY the second session Of the
Fifty-third congress up to and includ-
ing Aug. 8, shows that much has been
done aside from the %engrossing tariff
struggle which has largely diverted
public attention from matters which
would, under other circumstances, have
been considered Of great Importance.
Oneof the most important acts Of
the session which passed both houses
by a strictly party vote, being in full
fllment Of plank Of the Democratic
platform, was the act repeating all laws
creating federal supervisors Of elections
or defining their powers.
Utah Admitted.
The act to enable the people of Utah
to form a constitution and state govern

provides the machinery by which the
territory will be admitted probably in

Corn Went M

CHICAGO, Aug. Corn went boom
ing again and touched the highest
figure recorded here during the present
crop scare. As heretofore, the present
dry weather was the strong feature. To
this was added an expectation that the
state reports would prove very bullish.
Country commission houses were free
buyers and local shorts were covering.
The consequence was that September
corn, which closed at 49H7 on Saturday,
opened ragged at 5O1aM51c,, sold up to
515a, off to 81 and back to 5111aac.

the charge Of circulating counterfeit sill
9 dollars. For some time the mer-

Sandstrom, who is a farmer and quite

placing the bogus stuff in circulation.
The federal authorities were notified
and Sandstrom's arrest followed. The
money is a good imitation of the genu-
inc dollar, but considerable lighter.

Chicago Ball Grounds Fire.
CHICAGO, Aug. THE discovery Of
fire in the West Side ball park created
quite a panic, in which several Of the
spectators met with serious injury and
a large number Of others were slightly
cut and bruised in endeavoring to make
their exit. Those most seriously in
jured are: E. w. Bartlett, leg frac-
tured; Ed Ahern, fire insurance patrol
No. 4, severely burned about the hands
and face.
The Chicago and Cincinnati baseball
clubs were battling with each other and
a crowd Of not less than 10000 crowded
into the grounds at Polk and Lincoln
streets to witness the game.
Every Available Seat
in the grand stand and bleachers was
occupied, and a large crowd Of men and
boys contented themselves at not find
ing seats by taking up their positions on
the ball field. The game had advanced
to the seventh inning, when suddenly a
cry Of fire was heard from the bleachers
and a thin veil Of smoke was seen creep
ing through the seats from below. The
cry Of fire was taken up or all sides, and
in a very short time a terrible panic en-
sued. The four exits leading from the
grounds were damned with anxious
men and boys and also a sprinkling Of
women. The exits were not large
enough to permit the throng to go
through and hundreds Of men
Sought Places of Safety
by jumping over the barbed wire fence
and into the ball ground. The first
reaching the fence scaled it success
fully, but those who followed, in their
anxiety to get to safe quarters, tried to
crawl through, and in nearly every in
stance became wedged between the
wires, their clothing torn in shreds and
hands and legs lacerated by the sharp
barbs. Edward Ahern, a fireman. con
nected with the insurance patrol No. q,
endeavored to reach the ball ground by
going through that portion of the stand
which was in flames. He was badly
burned about the head. and hands. Dur
ing the stampede r. w. BARTLETT be-
came
Wedged in the Barbed Wire Fence,
severely cut his arms and legs, and sew
eral.others who followed fell on top of
him, smothering him into unconscious
ness. He was rescued from his perilous
situation by police officers. The close
proximity OF, the county and Presby-
terrain hospitals stood the injured in
good stead. For an hour after the first
alarm the physicians Of both hospitals
were kept busy attending to the injured.
Twenty or went to the county
hospital to have wounds received BY
climbing through the barb wire fence
dressed. After an hours hard work the
blaze was got under control. The dam
age was about $ $4,000, covered by insur.
ance.

THE TARIFF CONFERENCE.
Very Slow Progress on the Three Schedule
In DiSnuta.

very SLOW frOSresS on the Three Schedules
in Dispute.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-THE Demo-
cratic tariff conferees were in session
again at II o'clock and resumed
the work Of trying to reach an agree
ment on the points of difference. When
some Of the members of the committee
came out Of the conference at 10 o'clock
they stated that no %perceptible progress
had been made, and to all appearances
the situation was the same as it had
been for the past week.
Carlisle Makes Suggestions.
Secretary Carlisle had recently been
called into frequent consultation by in
dividual members of the conference.
He cas- called on Saturday night by a
subcommittee of the conference. He
made certain suggestions concerning the
administrative features of some of the
proposed compromise features, and it is
understood that since the suggestions
were received the conference has been
considering their bearing upon the ques-
tions at issue. The coal and iron ore
questions have been taken up with a
view to reaching an understanding upon
them, but
Progress Has Been Slow.
1t is understood that the senate con-
ferees have indicated a willingness to
make a concession in the way of time
that the duty shall continue but not to
lessen the amount Of duty provided in
either case. The house members have
not indicated a disposition to accept
this concession, and it is understood to
be holding out for the terms of the
house bill on these items.
The Louisiana senators are demand
ing the continuation of at least a part
ofSthe sugar bounty for the present
year, but the prospect of the success of
this demand does not appear to be
bright, and there is an increase of the
\ talk Of passing a free shgar bill in case
of the failure of the tariff bill which is
proba bly, intended largely to bring the
Louisiana senators into line.
Two Distinct Views.
When the tariff conference took a re-
cess for lunch two distinct views were
presented. The house conferees and
the men with whom they conversed
seemed to think that an agreement was
il sight. The senate conferees and
those senators with whom they advise
and3consult seemed to think that the
prospects were not SO bright and that an
ultimate disagreement would be re-
ported.
TWAS also stated that an end must be
reached within the next two days and
either an agreement or a report of a
disagreement made. Coal and iron ore
were the articles in dispute, the contest
having been transferred from sugar,
which has so long engaged the attention
Of the conferees. The contest over
these articles is very stubbornly made
on both sides.
