Associated Press.

Washington, August 1.-THE expect
ed did not happen in the senate today.
Twenty-four hours gave the Democrats
time to consider their policy and plans
to such an extent that they were ready
to take action upon the important Hill
resolution, which caused the parlia-
mentary battle of yesterday. Today
the proceedings were interesting, but
excitement that was expected. There
was too much talk about parliamentary
and not enough about couses of the
differences between the conferrees to
make the scenes rival those of the
senate when the first tariff disagree
ment was discussed. There was just
enough to whet the appetites of specta-
tors for more, but final vote on Cock
reil's motion to go into executive ses>
sion showed that the Democrats were
going to make one more effort to pull
themselves together. This showed
that many Democrats believe that Sem
atOr HllfS resolution was intended 10
defeat the bill. The proposition of
Senator Turpie that the present con-
ferrees should resign and others be
appointed, indicated a desire which
has long been known to exist among
the many Democratic senators that
conferrees should be appointed who
would make reasonable concessions TO
the house, agree upon a compromise
more secure, and report to the senate,
and that the senate pass upon it.
The discussion has developed the Diff
ferences of opinion as to which body
has possession of the tariff bill Senator
Cockrell saying emphatieally that the
house has, and others declaring that
1t should by right be in the custody
of the senate.

THE CHINESE VICTORIOUS.
A Naval Battle in Which the japanese
Fleet Were Forced to Retire.


Shanghai, August 11.--A dispatch
from Chez Foo says the Japanese at
tackled Port Hamilton CPort Arthur
yesterday evening and We're repulsed.
A special dispatch to Chez Goo CON
firms the report that the Japanese
fleet attacked the Chinese fleet at Wei
Hal Wei yesterday morning and were
repulsed at one entrance OF the harbor
and subsequently attacked at the other
entrance. The dispatch says the Jap
anese made daring attempt to capture
the forts and arsenal at Wei Hal Wei
The Japanese attacked in force, four
cruisers and several smaller vessels
holding the advance. The first shots
were exchanged at daylight, but the
Chinese were on the alert and the gum
ners returned vigorous FIRE from the
forts. The japanese apparently ex-
pected to take the Chinese by surprise.
while the latter's warships were away.
The Chinese squadron, with the excep-
tlon Of some small guaboats ond tor
pedo boats. sailed the day before for
another port. The gunboats at the fort
kept up such well-directed fire that
the Japanese were unable to enter the
harbor. The Chinese torpedo boats
were then ordered to advance, and
when they did so, the Japanese fleet
retired. The same feet of the Japanese
attacked the harbor entrance later in
the day. Tne result was not known
when the dispatch was sent.

Berlin, August 11.-Cholera is slowly
but surely spreading westward. The
disease has obtained foothold in nine

by the hundreds are recorded daily.
Cholera exists in seven districts of
Golicla and scores of deaths from the
disease take place every day IA that
section. In Prussia, and especially in
Dantz, the situation grows worse in
spite of the closing of the frontier at
Golub, on the river Drewens opposite

IA Use II

No man of science now ever be
lieves, says Grant Allen, that any
object Of nature is designedly placed
there for the good Of humanity.
Man, the last conner upon the scene
of earth, found the stage already
filled by certain plants and animals
with seeds and fruits and wool and fur
that subserved certain needs in their
own economy, and he made what use
he could of them. But not for man
did plant or animal make them. Old
fashioned people still ask, What's
the use of such and such a species?F
No man OF science ever frames that
question. Men OF science only ask,
"Of what use ID such and such an or
gan or structure TO which species
produces itg" and when they have
answered the query they have done
all that science now warrants them
in doing.-Westminster Budget.

Arrangements Whereby They Will Soon

WASHINGTON, Sept. 20.-The Indian
bureau has just completed arrange
ments to pay the Crow Greek settlers
$4,000 appropriated by the last Indian
appropriation bill. This appropriation
was the result OF an order issued in
1885, declaring certain lands in South
Dakota public domain and open TO set
tiers. Many persons availed themselves
Of the opportunity to make homes upon
these lands, which were vely valuable.
Afterwards 1t was found that the In
dian title had not been extinguished,
and the settlers were compelled to re-
move, losing all tie improvements they
had made. Claims were made for re.
imbursement on account Of these losses,
and after they had been investigated
and approved an appropriation WA
made. The different settlers viii be
paid by drafts issued by the secretary Of
