cupy the boards at the Academy Of

Great SifoV AT the Bon Ton.
The week before Christmas in the
theatrical world is generally considered
a dnfl one and not much business is
expected to be done. There is no f1df-
cation of that at the Bon Ton Theatre
this week. The people come and go there
while the show, like Tennyson's book.
goes on forever. No one would wonder
at the business which is being lone at
his theatre if he once saw the excel
lent performance there given. It includes
such first class people as. George Felix
and John J. Cain, Q. Brien Jennings and
and CBrien. George Earle and Ed Brad
ley. pretty Eta Lyons, s~prightly Maud
Elliott, Flora the queen of the slack
wire, and a host of others. The bill
for next week is great and promises a
fine holiday entertainment.

Hoboken Donamds an Accounting of
flae Rayine Sewer Matter.

Hoboken's City Father met last
night. Councillor Snyder, who is very
i'll, was the only absentee. The vote by
which the ordinance for the main out
let sewer was passed to second read
ing at the last meeting was reconsid-
cred. This was lone because the D.,
L. & W. Railroad Company had granted
the city permission to build the sewer
under the company's tracks. The Cor
poration Attorney was subsequently di-
rected to confer with the railroad au-
thorfties in the natter
The Comptroller was directed to pro-
cure from Jersey City an accounting of
all moneys collected by that city on
account of the railroad sewer assess
ment through the Martin Act Com
missioners.
Nothing was done in regard to the mat
ter of the Jersey City. Hoboken and
Rutherford Electric Railroad Company,
and the lobby, which was unusually
large, was disappointed.

Maryland Democrats In Hartford

BELLAIRE, Nd, Aug. 12.-The tariff
reform meeting of Hartford county
democrats presented the following res
olutions:
"tirst-That we cordially rclterate
our Endorsement of the democratic ma
tiunal platform of 1892 and the efforts
of our incorruptible president and the
national house of representatives, TO
formulate into legal enactment by
the Wilson bill its promise and pro-
visions.
"Second-That In the name Of the
democrats of the county we repudiate
and condemn the obstructive and
traitorous action of our senators from
Maryland, who grossly misrepresent
their constituency at the request OF the
sugar trust and other combines.
"rhrd'-That Senator Germans as
persion of the president and his patri-
otlc course merits and receives unqual'
flied condemnation.
"Fourth-That it Is only consistent
with the action of senator who has
published to the world his peregrina
tons through the filth and mire of pol
tiles that he should no longer consen
to occupy the position he has sought Il
prostitute by his renegade action, con
scious as he may lie that lie has he
trayed the party which elevated him.

OMAHA, Aug. 12.-roday was def

strikers quiet. All were so quiet that
the Omaha Guards and Thurston
Rifles were released, and only three
companies from the interior of the

day or two longer. Probably two
thirds of the strikers have returned to
work, or will do 80 tomorrow, and the
balance would ii they could secure
positions.

Colby, ITO keep ii,e balance of the

Lincoln TO attend the state encamp-
ment. My reasons for thinking that
, there will be no serious trouble from
now on Is in the manner of the men
who are out. They all seem to he
peaceable and quiet. l have 1t OIL
ciaily from the packers that many OF
the strikers are coming back to work
aud 1t seems 10 me that the trouble Ia
nearing an end. L do not anticipate
any more trouble, however, but we
propose to take all precautions.'

made by the strikers to interfere with
the men going from their work. Ths
general opinion is that the presence OF
state troops has effectually quelled the
turbulent spirits which have openly
defied the local auth orities.
A meeting Of the men who are out
was held in big hall this afternoon.
Several hundred men were present.
The meeting was behind closed doors
from until A O'clock, when an open
mass meeting was held. The principal
object of the meeting was to keep the
men off the streets. Many express the
belief that the strike has been broken
by the influence of state troops.
Messrs. Brigham and Carroll, ap.
pointed by the citizens committee to
confer with the packers in all effort t.
end the strike, held final conference
with Manager Cudahy this afternoon.
The conference was fruitless. Cudahy,
on behalf Of all the packing house
men, declared that tley had nothing
to arbitrate, and they would neither
compromise nor concede..

technical question which will be raised
over the disposition of the bill. The
Hill resolution has had its day in court
and has gone TO the calender aud
could not be taken up except on vote
of the senate. 1t is also suggested
that without the actual possession of
the bill an indefinite postponement
would be out of order, and the only
means by which the senate could Sc
cure possession would be through a
motion to reconsider its action grant
ing conference, aud then to ask the
house TO return the bill. There would
be two difficulties In the way of this
plan. Even with unanimous consent
secured and request made for the bill
to The house Its release would depend
upon the courtesy of that body. 1t
would therefore seem that the senate
can do nothing with reference IL the
tariff bill at its present stage.

CONGRESS READY TO ADJOURN.
Tho Tariff Ell Out OF the Way, Busi
ness VIII Be Closed Up.

ness VIII Be Closed Up.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l2.-The hope
is general about the senate that the
present one will be the last week of the
session. This Is based upon the belief
that the tariff bill will be disposed of
in some way early in the week, ana
with the tariff bill cut of the way, the
final adjournment can be brought
about at almost any time. None of the
appropriation bills, with the exception
of the sundry civil and the general de-
liciency, are yet to be acted OH to any
extent by either house. for these two
are In such an advanced stnge in con-
ference that day of Jealous work
would probably suffice 10 put them
both in shape TO he sent to the presi-
dent.
The Chinese treaty is the only other
business that will keep congress for =
day, and this question Is to be taken
and voted upon at the first session.
The senate adjourned on Friday after
giving the greater part OF the day to
the treaty and there was an under
standing that the senate should go int
executive session on Monday immedi-
ately after the reading of the journal to
take the vote upon the treaty. 1t was
also agreed that this should be done
without further debate.
Today's Probable Guinness.
The order of business for tomorrow,
presumably alter the tariff has been
passed, will be Senator Chambers res.
olution for the investigation of tin e
Alabama election. After this all Is
uncertain. Almost every thing will de-
pend upon the action of the house on
the tariff bill, but whatever that action
may be, 1t cannot he counted upon as
quite certain that the two remaining
appropriation bills will receive consid-
Grafton some time during the week
The conference on the sundry civil bill
has Leen already largely disposed of
and it is not probable that much time
will be spent upon II.
The conference committee on the
general deficiency bill has been in SEES
sion all day, Notwithstanding it is Sun.
day, and il is believed 1t will be in
shape for early presentation to botf
houses. If, therefore, the house should
decide to accept the senate amend
ments to the tariff bill, the senate
could be prepared to suspend proceed
ings on almost any day after Tuesday
If the house should decide upon An OPP
posite course there is no saying wha
would happen in the senate.
The tariff is engrossing the attention
of the house and it has so far no pro
gram whatever for the week.

A Stubborn But Fruitiess Attach on

SHANGHAI. Aug. ia dispatch
from Chez hoo says the japanese at
tackled Port Hamilton port Arthur
yesterday evening and were repulsed.
A special dispatch from Chez Foo
con firms the report that the japanese
fleet attacked the Chinese fiset ut Wei
Hal Wei yesterday morning and were
repulsed at one entrance to the hnrbor
and subsequently attacked at the other
entrance. The dispatch says the
japanese 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 aud their
gunners returned vigorous fire from
the forts.
The Japanese apparently expected to
take the Chinese by surprise while the
latters warships were away, the Chi
nese squadron, with the exception of
some small guuboats and torpedo boats,
having sailed Lefore for another port.
The gunboats ut the fort Kept up such
well directed fire that the Japanese
were unable TO enter the harbor. The
Chinese torpedo boats we're then or
dered to advance, ana when they did
so the japanese fleet retired. Some OF
the heet of the japanese attacked the
harbor entrance later IN the day, hui
the result was not known when the
dispatch was sent.
Tho Second Attack Defeated.
Dispatches received here say that thu
second attempt of the Japanese flee
upon Wei Hal Wei has been defeated

japanese Believe Their Government Is
Waiting for Full Reports.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 12.-Officials of
the Japanese legation are without any
Information respecting the reported
fight at Wei Hai-Wai and Fort Arthur
on the Chinese coast. They are In
clined to believe that the home govern
ment Is awaiting as full and complete
reports of the battles as it had regard
ing the fight at Asan, Corea.
Much interest in the movements
against the above places is felt by the
officials of the government here, as it is
at or near Fort Arthur where Ii Hung
Chang has his great military stores,
arsenals and other resources for the
continuation of warlike operations.
Both Fort Arthur and Wel-Hai-Wei
are In the line of the direct route be-
tween the water 10 the mouth of Pei-H 10
river, by which the city of Pekin can
be reached, and any movement against
the former places is likely to be factor
In the attempt which many persons
here believe the Japanese will make to
overthrow the dynasty at Pekin.
