LOOKING FOR THE TRUTH.
The Senate and House Vastly Interested
In Tariff Rumors.

WASHINGTON, July 17,-There was
more interest manifested today among
senators and members OF the house not
members OF the tariff conference com.
mittee than on any previous day since
the conference of the democratic mem
bers OF the committee began, and the air
about both the senate and the house was
full OF rumors as to what has been done.
Many OF these stories were considered
sufficiently well founded to justify sena
tors and members in discussing them as
accomplished facts.
The most persistent of these rumors
was that coal and iron ore were to be re.
stored to the free list. This story grew
out of conversation between members OF
the committee and senators and repre
sentatives not connected with it, The
outside members were given to under
stand that this was the program and that
1t was to be put into execution by the
joint efforts Of the house conferees and
two of the senators. The members of the
committee spoken to upon the subject
after the adjournment of the committee
declared that no action has been taken
upon these two items. They made the
same denial of another story which was
current that changes were decided upon
in the sugar schedule.
Ever since the democratic members OF
the committee began their meetings
without inviting the republican members
to be present disposition on the part of
republicans of both houses to criticise
the partisan methods of proceeding has
been shown, and this dissatisfaction took
shape today in the Introduction by Seua-
tor Hale of a resolution calling atten.
ton to the failure of the democrats to call
full conference. Senator Hale baid
that the resolution was the result of an
understanding among several republican
senators.
This proceeding on the part of demo.
cratic conferees," he said, sis unpre
cedented in the history of the country.
1t has now been two weeks since the
tariff bill passed the senate and more
than week since the conference asked
for was conceded by the house, and yet,
30 far as the republican members of the
conference committee know, there has
been no conference whatever.

OF Capt. Healey of the revenue cutter
Bear, giving details of the wreck of the
whaler James Allen in Behring sea and
the rescue OF twenty-four out of a crew OF

suffering on the part of the boats crew,

hope OF ever being rescued, and were
completely demoralized. The body OF

They had even dug up the body of one
OF those who had died two weeks pre-
viously and had partially consumed it.
The trunk lay just outside the hut with
arms and legs cut off, and portions of the
meat were in the pot outside the door.
No attempt had been made TO hunt or
attract attention from seward. Not

SACRAMENTO, July 1.-THE railroad

trouble in getting out trains. For some
reason, presumably through fear, only a

only few men are working in the shops.
Trouble is feared at Dunsmuir. A spec

Plain Words from Cleveland.

WASHINGTON, July l9-In a letter To
