To Mrs. NJ J. Carkeek and Mrs. Thomas
Burke is due the credit Of giving the first
coaching party ever given in Seattle or the
Northwest and introducing new feature
in social pleasures that is sure TO become
popular in time, when the condition of the
country roads renders the sport safer and
more desirable. The drive was taken last
Thursday. true tally-ho fashion, 10 Mrs.
Bagley's place at Riverside. The start
was made at 10 o'clock in the morning,
with eighteen ladies in the party, River
side being reached about o'clock, where
the guests found lunch served under the
the trees IN true Arcadian style. TO which
they did ample justice, the ride through
the bracing air of the country having given
each member Of the party an appetite that
nothing short of the hountiful spread pro-
vided by the thoughtful host could have
appeased. A most enjoyable afternoon
was spent by the ladies. who wandered
about the fields. woods and handsome
grounds drinking an the health-giving
properties OF pure country air. Mrs Bag
ley had made great preparations for the
entertainment of her guests aud every
little detail necessary 10 insure the
comfort of one and ait had
been carefully looked after. The grounds
about the tables under the trees had been
beautifully decorated, flowers in album
dance pleased the eye on all sides, and
life in the country was idealized 30 every
lady present. At @ o'clock in the evening
the party reluctantly started back for
Seattle. after partaking OF another COLA
ton in true rural fashion. and the city was
reached at 9o'clcck in the evening, with
every one feeling brighter and better for
the novelty of the trip and the celebrating
effects of the drive. The following ladies
made up the party: Mrs Sntter Baxter,
Mrs. @. G. Lyon. Mrs j. c. Haines. Mrs
Montgomery Russell, Mrs. r c. Wash

Democrats Labor With

SENATE BILL OR NO BILL.

Position.
CLEVELAND WRITES TO WILSON
1t Is Reported That the House
Leaders Will Surrender on
Monday forming.

WASHINGTON, Aug. II. - The tariff
bill is in cloud tonight, and there are as
many opinions both as to its present status
and as to its future as there are political
groups. The surface developments to-day
showed that the Democrats of the Senate
were willing to pull together again for
time in order to see il the caucus of the
House Democrats would offer any kind of
solution to the perpleXing problem.
The call for caucus of the House. sap
proved by the Speaker and requested by
the House conferees. shows that leaders
in that body have become greatly con-
cerned over the fate of the bill, an ac-
acknowledgement that it is in a critical
state.
But neither the action of the Senate in
delaying the Hill resolution nor the call of
the caucus by the House Democrats in
sures the passage or defeat of the bill, or
yet does it certainly mean the Senate bill
or nothing. There are many persons who
believe the Democratic caucus will result

The parliamentary tangle in which the
bill is now, if no report is made by the

discussion, and opinion is divided as TO
the course open to the House. All those
tangles, however, would all unravel at

SHANGHAI, Aug IA dispatch from
Chez Foo says the Japanese attacked Port
Hamilton port Arthur yesterday evening
and were repulsed.
"A special dispatch from Chez Foo con-
firms the report that the Japanese fleet at
tackled the Chinese fleet at Wei-Hal-Wei
yesterday morning and were repulsed at
one entrance to the harbor and subse-
cuently attacked the other entrance.
The dispatch says ihe Japanese made a
daring attempt TO capture the forts and
the arsenal at Wei-Hai-W w Ell. The Japan
ese attacked in force, four cruisers and
several smaller vessels holding the ad-
vance. The first shots were exchanged at
daybreak, but the Chinese were on the
alert and their gunuers returned vigor-
Gus FIRE from the forts.
The Japanese apparently expected to
take the Chinese by surprise while the
lstter's warships were away-the Chinese
squadron, with the exception of some
small gunboats and torpedo-boats, having
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 ad-
vance, and when they did so the Japanese
feet retired.
The same feet of Japanese attacked the
harbor entrance later in the day, and dis
patches received here say the second at
tempt of the Japanese feet upon Wal Hal
Wei was defeated.
Another dispatch says the Pei Yang
feet is engaged with the Japanese feet and
a stubborn battle is being fought. Twenty
one ships are taking part.

Davis Cannot Be Connected With the
Rock Island Wreck.

LINCOLN. Aug. 1.-THE remains OF
eleven bodies of persons who perished in
the terrible wreck on the Rock Island
were identified to-day. and there is little
reason to believe that any more can be
identified. The report that A. K. EDDIE
and NJ. Beaver were among the victims
has proved to be false. They were safe in
their homes at Pawnee City.
The colored ex-convict, George Wash
ington Davis, who was arrested last night
on suspicion of having caused the wreck.
neither affirms nor denies the charge. He
has bad record and suspicion points very
strongly toward him. Should it prove true
that he is guilty it win not be surprising if
the law was relieved from the passing on
his punishment, as feeling is very high.
At the Coroner's inquest this afternoon
the investigation was, if anything, in favor
of the negro. The investigation will last
several days.
