). A: Cunningham, who started the
Confederate Veteran at Nashville
eighteen months ago, sends out request
for renewals and new subscriptions to
be sent on his birthday, July 81. This
is a novel yet suitable business PROPOSE
ton and general action would have a
splendid result in making the Veteran
strong with the business public and be
q worthy tribute to a good cause.
The Veteran has had marvellous
growth, having reached ten thousand
circulation during the first year.
It is patriotic. progressive and admir-
ably independent. Mr.. Cunningham
has had the happy faculty of satisfying
ultra Southerners and Union soldiers
as we'll.

The railroad companies at Chicago
are making up Il statement of their
losses. In cars, buildings, engines and
other property burned and wrecked the
loss Is figured up at a million do..ars.
but this does not include the freight
in transit, burned or stolen, nor does it
embrace the loss of freight and pas
sepger traffic while all operations were
stopped The losses to the railroads
Will be not less than $4,000, 900. But
there is the loss of wages by strikers
and ny those who were by force CON-
PEELED to quit work. That has been
estimated at $4,000 a day. For ten

The 10th of July, 1894, is Xix ely to he
one of the red letter days in the annals
of the United States Senate. The
speech of Gen. Gordon, of Georgia,
alone would give it a bright carmine.
The Debs insurrection in general and
the Petfer-kyle expressions of sym
pathy with it in particular served to
tire the patriotism of that magnificent
otd veteran of the Confederacy, and it
1amed up with an eloquence worthy
the hest days of congressional elo-
qnence. Others spoke in the same
notably Senator Davis, of Min
nes"ta, but there was double signiti-
canoe in the superb outburst of loyalty
from the lips of the Senator from
Georgia. He was one of the first to
up arms against the Union and
one nf the last to lay them down, but
he is still more ready to champion the
cause Of law and order against anarchy.

CHICAGO, August after q struggle
OF forty days against the united rail-

is of In Chicago except among the em-
ployes OF the Santa Fa ana the Chicago

The action was purely local, and the

Besides the official business transact

TIE WEEK IN CONGRESS.
Both Houses Might Easily Adjourn Ex-
oept for the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, D. c., August 5.-With
the tariff disposed of, the Senate could
probably adjourn In three or four days
tinae. The ls@t OF the general apprc-
priation bills has passed both Houses
and majority of them have been
signed by the President. Some OF these
bills are in conference still, but II an
agreement upon them would bring an
adjournment, IL would not long be de-
layed as there are no irreconcilable
differences between the two houses on
appropriations. There Is no measure
other than the tariff bill and the ap-
propriation bills, which would be
strong enough TO hold the Senate to-
geLher for even a day. The probabili-
ties for the week include report from
the Tariff Conference Committee and
subsequent debate and also the presen-
tation of the conference reports on the
sundry civil, river and hsroor, Indian
and general deficiency appropriation
bills, and the consideration OF the cal
endar when these more important mat
ters do not occupy position to re-
ceiye attention. The immigration bill
will come up tomorrow at O'CLOCK,
and, IN lieu of the tariff. may excite con-
siderable debate. The Republican SEN
ators are inclined to press the question
of a further Limitation of immigration,
but so far the Democrats in the Senate
have not shown disposition to accept
the challenge, and they may choose 10
permit the Republicans to monopolize
the discussion OF the subject.
The House will proceed this week as
it did last with a fixed programme.
The House is simply awaiting the final
report on the tariff bill. All its routine
business has been transacted and 1t is
simply waiting.
Tomorrow, however, is TO be devoted
to the Settle-Willisms contested elec-
tlon case from North Carolina. The re-
naming days will be assigned to the
routine business OF the committees, suo-
ject always to conference reports. II the
conferees on the tariff reach an agree
meut this week the report will first be
considered in the Senate, and after
being disposed of there will come to
the house. If the report is not before
Wednesday there is no probability that
II will get TO the House this week.
When IL does reach that body 10 Is not
the intention of the House managers to
allow any prolracted debate.

A REIGN OF TERROR.
Citizens or Oak Harsor Afraid to Sleep.
lncendiary Fires the cause.

Incendfary FIRES the cause
TOLEDO, o., August 5.-Oak Harbor,
a villsge OF 1000 iubsbitants. about
twenty-five miles east of this place, Is
In q state Of terror. Within the past
twenty hours, three incendiary fires
have been kindled, the first
entailing loss OF about sS5,ooo. IL
originated shortly after midnight this
morning in the stave yard OF Fl. IL.
Milander, spreading from that point
until II had burned over patch Of
about twelve acres. An engine was
sent from this city. but when 10 ar
rived, at 2:30 o'clock this morning,
the fire had practically burned Itself
out. The principal losers are: Il. Il.
Milsnder, stave factory, $1,000: George
Desls. hotel and livery stable, $4,000;
John Reed, implement warehouse and
residence, SIS. 500: l.. ID. Link, carriage
shops, $4,000; DR.. Holly. residence,
81, 200. The insurance will cover from
one-third to one-half the loss.
The Toledo engine was returned to
this city shortly before noon, and few
moments after its departure, fire was
discovered ia the shaving box OF Roose's
stave factory, but ii was extinguiShed
with slight loss.
At o'clock O straw stack on the
property OF Christ Vegel. was lighted,
burning his barn and other small build
ings, causing a loss OF about $1,000.
Citizens are fearful Of going 10 bed,
and many will sit out the night guard
ing their property. No clue has been
discovered thus far as TO the identity
of the inceadiaries.

WASHINGTON. d. c.. August 5.-The
usual Sunday quiet OF the Capitol build
ing was broken to-day by the assemb.
ling OF the Democratic tariff conferees
at 2:30 o'clock, in the Senate committee
room, on inter State commerce. All Of
the Democratic conferees were present,
except Senator Voorhees,, who is still
sick, aud Chairman Wilson, who had
gone to West Virginia to see his sick
wife. The meeting lasted until six
o'clock, and was marked with even
more tnau the usual secrecy.
The meeting to-day resulted In an
understanding that report should be
made one way or the other-agreem
or Gisagreement-with the next ~
hours. That it would be an agreement
was not, however, definitely settled.
On this point the conferees say they
have not yet passed the danger point,
although they seemed more confident
tonight that it would be al agreement.
The discussion to-day again turned
on sugar, iron ore aud coal. The House
conferees are proceeding without refer
ence 30 the strong opposition to the
new sugar schedule by the Louisiana
Senators. This opposition may be
overcome, however, by permitting the
present bounty, or portion OF 1t, TO
run until January l next
The Louisiana Senators have said
that they would be willing to accept
half the bounty for the present year In
addition to the duty on the new COM
promise schedule.
Some attention has also been given
TO the income tax, aud while a final
agreement has not been reached, it is
practically conceded that the Senate
limit OF FIVE years will be adopted.

Ready to ArbItrste.

OMAHA. August 5.-The South Omaha
strikers have so far receded from their
position as to be ready TO arbitrate
their differences. They held several
largely attended meetings to-day.
There was considerable aggresslveness,
but little riotous demonstratlon. After
discussion, the strikers agreed TO trust
to arbitration. and appointed commit
tee TO confer with the packing house
people, and srbitrate the scale OF wages.
The strikers called on the managers OF
the packing houses and were told they
would be given an answer tomorrow.
From other sources IL is learned the an
swer was a positive refusal to meet the
Arbitration Committee and 10 refuse
any terms except those first proposed
q complete surrender and a return OF
the men at the old scale.
