Peculiar Senate Methods.

WASHINGTON, ID. c., July IL
The fact that Senate has made
such rapid progress with appropri-
alton bills since they were taken
up has led many to believe their
dispatch is part of general
scheme of the Senate to force the
House to a more speedy agreement
on the tariff bill. With all appro-
priation bills passed by the Senate
there will be nothing but confer
ence reports on these bills and the
tariff between congress and adj
journment.
Many Senators count the eager
ness of members Of theHouse to get
home in view of the necessity of
looking after their political chances
to help materially in bringing the
House to accept the Senate's terms
on the tariff.
WASHINGTON, July, 1.-The adj
iournment of the Democratic mem
bers' tariff committee, at II o'clock,
and their determination to call in
the republicans at o'clock is be-
lieved to mean a report Of disagree
meDt is to be made, and it is
thought a report to the two houses
will be made, either late this after
noon or tomorrow.

A VALID EXCUSE.
Santa Fe Receivers Ask to Be AL
lowed to Borrow Again.

TOPEKA, Ka., July 1.-THE
Santa Fe receivers have petitioned
the United States Circuit court for
authority to borrow S25O,0O0 Of
Chicago banks and others. They
state there is now due the employees
for wages, a large sum of money in
excess of funds on hand applicable
thereto; that deficiency grows out
of a great loss Of earnings from the
operation of the road by reason Of
the disunited and discordant con-
dition of business throughout the
country. By reason of the strike
the receivers say large number
of employees left the service and
Were discharged, and these en-
ployes must be paid wages over
due.

ANOTHER cowARDLY ATTEMPT
California Strikers are of the Bloody
Sneaking Kind.

WEST OAKLAND, Cal, July IT,
An attempt was made last night
to blow up the local train connect
ing with the o'clock boat from
San Francisco, with a cartridge of
giant powder placed on the track.
1t did some damage to the engine,
but happily resulted in no
injury, either to the crew or pas
sengers. The train was well
filled. So strong was the shock
that the train was brought to a
sudden standstill. There was much
excitement among the passengers,
and a rush to escape through the
win dows or over the gates. The
conclusion shattered the windows
of the cars and of residences along
the line Of track. The engine was
twisted and broken by the shock.

BLOOD ON THE MOON.
STREET ENCOUNTER BETWEEN
CRACK SHOTS.
Members Of Rival Gun Clubs Rave
Almost a.settlement of a Long
Drawn Dispute.

nearly flowed on Commerce street
this morning. 1t may flow yet.
a street encounter took place in

the San Antonio Gun club and
several Of its members has, had
with Mr.. Guessaz. Yesterday
morning Mr.. Guessaz met Mr..

him il he had stated that he,

States Sportsmen's association
had taken $65 in dues and initia-

Waco and had not accounted for
the money.

Then Guessaz called him a very
hard name and slapped him. Mr..
Veith was wearing eye glasses. He
is much smaller man
than his assailant and said
eXcitedly, "Hit me again.
and Guessaz gave him a powerful
blow in the eye with his fist.
GuessaZ was arrested some time,
later in the day by Policeman Fro
boese and charged with beating
and striking and abusive language, -
and this morning, after the reeor-,
der had continued his case until
tomorrow and all witnesses for the
prosecution had left, the defendant"
appeared, his testimony was taken
and on a plea Of guilty the recorder
fined him s. without hearing ALI

THE LATE STRIKE.

Debs Says it is Still On and They
are Sure to Win.
CHICAGO, July 1.-THE railway
strike was not in evidence today
except at headquarters of the
American Railway Union. There
a few committeeman and officials
who were on hand declared the
strike is on "red hot" but the va
rious railroads showed no signs OF
trouble.
All regular through trains are on
time, packing houses are at work
and business is apparently resum-
ing its normal condition. Presi-
dent Debs, however, was still posi-
tive there is a strike, and while
admitting the Chicago unions APP
peared to be weakening, he declared
they would eventually become uni
ted and win the fight.
An interesting feature of the
situation was the possibility that
the Federal courts would bring
contempt proceedings against A.
r. L. officers because of alleged
violations of the courts instruc-
tions. This feature Debs and his
directors were not disposed to dis
cuss and in reply to questions re-
garding it, he simply repeated,
they have committed no crime.

GETTING HOT ON TARIFF.
THE SENATE AND HOUSE so FAR

Special to the LIGHT:

Special to the LIGHT:
WASHINGTON, ID. c., July H.
Immediately after adjournment
one OF the cOnferees said it seemed
the Senate and House were further
apart than when they began. Some
members fatty refused the iron
ore, coal and sugar rates Of the
Senate bill, and Senate conferees
were as firm in demanding the bill
in these particulars must remain
as the Senate fixed it. The same
members talked in a very discour-
aging manner on other schedules,
and said while the main points
were unsettled, it was impossible
to reach an agreement on other
schedules.
Chairman Wilson came to House
of Representatives, at noon recess
of conference, and at once sent
official notices to three Republican
conferees that the full committee
would meet at o'clock.
To the Associated Press reporter
Mr.. Wilson stated that an agree
ment had not been reached. Be.
yond this he would not discuss the
situation. 1t is learned from other
conferees, however, that while no
agreement had been reached, neith-
er had the resolution been passed
as an agreement.
The BaiIy bankruptcy bill
passed the House today.

Vigilant Shows She Can Win II
There's Wind to Sail With.
BELFAST, July 17-Today's race
for the Rear Commodore cup over
the same course as yesterday was
the eighth between the Nigilant
and Britannia. The wind was
blowing strong from the west.
Conditions were more favorable
to the Vigilant than any she has
hitherto experienced in her races
on this side the ocean. The vessels
crossed the line beam for beam. At
the first round the Nigilant led
by two minutes and fifty seconds.
At the end of the second round the
Vigilant led by 5m. 34s. That the
Vigilant is better sailer in stiff
breeze was being demonstrated to
everybody's satisfaction, when, on
the third and final round the Brit
tannia carried away her top fore
stay and gave up the race. The
Vigilant, however, was leading
nearly six minutes at the time and
would undoubtedly have won.

DALLAS, Tex, July II, 80 p. m.
-Special--At7 o'clock this morn
ing, and a few minutes after the
cotton factory in South Dallas had
started up for the day. H. p. Bar
ner, the boss weaver of the mills,
entered the office of superintendent
A. ii. Nicklers and with a knife, AS
saulted that official, inflicting
wounds under and over the left
arm, in the left side, in the groin
and then drove the blade into the
heart. Mr.. Nicklers staggered to
the door, fell on the steps, and died
in few moments without speak
ing.
About the time Barner got
through with the superintendent,
John w. Nicklers, son of the super
intendent, and engineer of the
mills, entered the Office and Barner
assaulted him with the same
weapon, inflicting a mum Der Of deep
wounds, two of which reached the
lungs.
Barner came out of the fight
pretty badly slashed up. himself.
He had deep wound in his head
and another in his chest, and still
another in the lower arm. He came
to the city and surrendered to Po-
lice Officer Durham, and was taken
to the county jail. His wounds are
so serious that he had to be placed
under the influence of chloroform
when the surgeons dressed them.
While he may live, his injuries
are very dangerous. Young
Nicklers at one o'clock was report
ed dying. Barner says he acted in
self-defense; that Superintendent
Nicklers discharged him for his Ia
Dor sentiments and while they
were discussing the settlement of
his wages Nicklers and the latter's
son both attacked him and intiict-
ed the wounds he bears.
The only eye witness TO the
tragedy was Adam Green, the day
Waterman. He says he overheard
Superintendent Nicklers tell Bar
ner to make out his time and
gather up his tools and he would
give him his money as soon as the
president came down. Green's
work then called him out Of hear
ing for a few moments.
When he returned he heard
Nicklers tell Barner to put
up his knife. When Barner as
saulted him, Nicklers was armed
with nothing but the key TO the
office door and piece Of wood to
which it was attached to keep it
from being lost. He saw John w.
Nicklers enter the Office with a
monkey wrench in his hand and
saw Barner turn and stab him.
While the body of Superintend-
ent Nicklers was lying on the office
steps a thief took from his pocket
a roll of $500 and got away with it.
