CLEyELANp,s VIEWS.
He Writes "a Personal Letter to Will
SON, Urging Him to Continue the
Gallant Fight For Tariff Reform.

New York, Aug. 5.--A World dis
patch from Washington says: Chair
man Wilson received a letter from
President Cleveland. written immedi-
ately after the announcement of the
decision of the House to pass the Sen
ate bill
The letter is personal, but pathetic,
and contains q highly significant ref
erence to the present attitude of the
Democratic party Oh the issue of the
tariff reform.
Mr.. Cleveland says that as soon as
he heard the news of the decision to
pass the Senate bill, he Immediately
thought of Mr. Wilson and at once
sat down to write him brief note ex-
pressive of his feelings, cealizing fully
the great effort made by Mr. Wilson
to bring about a different result; he
knows his disappointment must be
keen and lasting. He urges him,
though, not to despair and says that
he. too. has felt great disappointment
Pat the outcome.
At one time the president says, he
had begun to doubt whether the Dem
locrauc party was after all the real
party of tariff reform, but he had not
permitted himself to entertain the
thought, realizing Immediately that no
matter what the temporary obstacles
in the way of progress, the party must
continGe its crusade and it's members
must remain loyal to the cardinal prin-
ciple of the organization
AT least half the letter is given up to
admonishing Mr.. Wilson that he must
exercise great care in outstanding his
strength and seek complete restoration
to health.
The president urges him not to be
cast down on account Of defeat, but to
devote his thoughts to regaining his
full forces in order that he may con-
tinue the fight for tariff reform in
which the president assures him ne

liant leader

ASiatic Station

Washington, Aug. 14.-At the re-
quest of the state department, Secre-
tary Herbert has directed Captain Cot
fin, of the cruiser Charleston. now at
the Mare Island navy yard, to make
preparations for sailing. AS soon as the
ship is ready for sea, she will be sent
to the Asiatic station to join the yes
sells there for the purpose of protecting
the interests Of Americans in China
and Japan during the war between the

the United States will have a good ma
val representation in eastern waters.
The Baltimore and the Monocac have
been there for some tins and recently
the Concord and the Petrol. forming
part of the Beriug sea patrol fleet,
were ordered to join them. 1t is as
serted there is no significance attached
to the addition of the Charleston to the
ships of the Asiatic squadron. but
that it is simply in conformity with a
desire on the part of the administrati

ing the continuance of the war.
The Charleston has just undergone a
thorough overhauling, and should be
prepared to sail within a short time.

IN THE SENATE.
Hill Still Fighting the Income Tax
Proposition.

Washington, Aug. 14-There was but a
scattering of senators present today when
the vice-president called the Senate to
order. At 12:15 the reading of the journal
was concluded. A messenger from the
House had passed bills placing coal, iron
GRE, barbed wire and sugar on the free
list. in which it asked the concurrence OF
the Senate.
Henderson objected to the second read
ing of the free list bills.
Hill gave notice of an amendment re-
pealing all income taxes.
The bills will come UP tomorrow.
Hale introduced resolution for the
printing of 5000 copies of the House bill
No. 1854. known as the sugar tariff bill.
Vest protested against this title. Hale
simply referred to it by the name by
which it would be known hereafter. Vest
questioned Hale's right to say what would
be the popular designation of the bill, and
declared 1t an outrage on the Senate.
The resolution went over.
Bills were passed promoting ex-Com-
modore Louis c. Sartori. retired, to rear
admiral on the retired list. and authoriz-
ing the soldiers home managers to eX-
tend outdoor relief to veterans.
At 2:30 the Senate adjourned.

DUBOIS Is DUBIOUS.

Small Reason to Believe That Any
Appropriations viii Be Made For
Government Buildings in the West
Washington, D. c., Aug. 14-[Special ]
Senator Dubois feels dubious regard
ing the appropriation for government
buildings in Idaho Wyoming and Mon
tana, though the Senate conferees on
sundry civil bill are making strong
arguments for them, and as the con-
ferees believe it would be unwise to
appropriate more money from the de-
pleted treasury, and are fighting hard
to eradicate Senate increases on public
surveys, the prospects are but little
better. Dubois thinks $225,000 is all
that will be given by conference report.

Lamar Sanderson, aged 10, traded

some dissatisfaction resulted from the
trade, which eliminated this afternoon

After two blows had been struck,
John Sanderson, aged SO, father of La

them, but Dickson, supposing the two
Sandersons were attacking him, shot,
killing the elder Sanderson almost in

his gun and fired on Dickson, the lat

Young Sanderson was shot through

Sanderson was a prominent merchant.

ing did not go off without accident.
though nothing adverse happened that
could have been foreseen or avoided
Midway in the programme, when the
audience was all expectancy to hear
Mrs. Hamilton's organ solo, the water
power collapsed and for the rest of the
evening the grand instrument was
silent. This and other events neceSsi-
tated several changes in the subse-
quent numbers. Mr.. Salmon was taken
i'll during the day and was wholly I'M
able to appear, but the audience had
an opportunity instead. of hearing the
splendid bass voice of Mr.. Walter
Lamoreaux, of Logan, in the "Badou-
ms Love Song" Mr.. Weihe also met
with a. mishap in the breaking of his
bow; and altogether Mr.. Stephens path
was quite thorny, but with admirable
lf-possession every difficulty was
overcome and an excellent performance
given. The chorus was well filled,
there being nearly 400 in their seats,
and their selections were splendidly
rendered while the organ was in order;
afterward the grand chorus from the
Messiah was omitted and 20. My
Father given instead. The Logan
choir, with it's boy altos. also did well,
though it would be almost impossible
for them to do justice to so difficult d
selection as the one chosen. The gifted
Miss Helen Sherman, with her deep.
rich contralto, captivated her hearers
with the Indian Love Song" and Talk
ing in My, Sleep" In his selection, Mr..
Weihe maintained his usual mastery of
the violin, and reached the last degree
of tenderness and beauty in the Trau-
meri. by Schumann, which ne gave in
encore. Mrs. Plummer sang THE
Promise of Life" this being her first
public appearance since she returned
from her studies. Marked improve
ment was evident in the grace and deli
cacy of her style, and she was warmly
applauded. Miss Viola Pratt was to
have sung cave Maria" with accom-
paniment by Mrs. Hamilton, Mr.. Weihe
and Prof. Krouse, but much to the dis
appointment of the audience, this had
to be abandoned. She gave instead a
selection from Massenet's opera OF lie
Cid. This may not have been to the
general appreciation of her hearers, as
the opera has never been heard here
but it's high character was in harmony

tertainment, and it would be better if

was decidedly an artistic success. The
attendance was good for a midsummer

HOUSE WAS QUIET.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE House of
Representatives was not in session to-
day. and most of the members were at
home, resting from the arduous labers
of yesterday.
Speaker Crisp and a few members
were about the House.
Mr.. Crisp said that the expectation
was that the Senate would act upon
some of the separate tariff measures
for free sugar, free iron ore, ETC., be-
fore the adjournment. and for that
reason the close of the session would
depend good deal on the Senate. More
over, the rule adopted in the House

SUITS AGAINST STANFORD.
Proceedings Can Be Begun Mt An

Washington, Aug. 14.-There is reason
to believe the governments claim
against the estate of ex-senator Stan

there has been any actual default in the
payments.
Under the conditions the attorney gen
eraI proposed, If the executrix would
waive any rights she might have by rea-
son of premature bringing of the suit,
he would gladly consent to have proceed
ings begin at once. No conclusion has
vet been reached, but it is expected no
objection would be made to that course,
especially as speedy adjudication of
the CLAIM would be in the interest of the
estate The suit, also, would determine
the status of the governments claim
against c.. p Huntington and others
and on the whole. an early settlement
of the claims would be to the interest OF
all concerned.
