THE TARIFF C0NFEREES.

WASHINGTON. July 10. 1894. The Demo
cratic members of the Conference Committee
on the Tariff bill were in session yesterday
for six hours, convening at 1870 and ad-
journing at $780, The injunction of secrecy
was evidently placed upon the conferrees, for
it was absolutely impossible to get a state
ment as to what had been done or what
progress, if any, had been made. A promi-
nent member of the conference on the part
of the Senate, however, cautiously OBJ
served that no attempt had been made to
get at results, as the day was spent in pre-
lirninary discussion on the bill in general.
The determination was reached on the part
of the democrats to sit daily and during long
hours in order to arrange their differences
at as early day as possible. They hope to
effect this so that the republican members
can be called in the latter part of this
week
Many of the unimportant amendments
made by the Senate was agreed to in the
course Of the day, and it is thought probable
all of these will be out of the way at the
end of today's session.
1t is understood that the sugar schedule
was touched upon but briefly, as it was
found that that would be a subject which,
if taken up now, would interfere with pro
gress in other parts of the bill.

EVERYTHING LOVELY HERE.
Mayor Wanser Favors Arbitration on

Mayor Wanser FaVors Arbitration IN
General PrincipIes-Trains on Time.
1t was reported upon good authority this
morning that number of labor organiza-
tions throughout the city had met last night
and decided to send financial assistance to
the Western strikers. There appears to be
no inclination on the part of local engineers
tiremen, conductors, trainmen or yard men
to take any part in the struggle of the A. r.
U. The railroad employees here are satisfied
to retain their positions The defeat suffered
by the Lehigh Valley Railroad men in their
last strike has had tendency to impress
upon the minds of the employees of other
roads that to strike, when there are so many
idle men about can result in but one way.
At the railroads where Pullman cars are
used in making up trains, everything ap-
peared to be harmonious this morning. The
Pennsylvania Railroad trains from the
West arrived and departed ea time. Two
Chicago trains over the Erie were about an
hour late, but it was not due to the strike
Travel all over the roads is picking up, and
the officials feel assured that timid travel
lers will, in the course of day or Two, for
get that a strike has been i'll progress at all
Late last night Mayor Wanser received the
following message from Mayor H. S. Pingree
of Detroit, Mich
VIII you join with me in a request to George NJ.
tom have telegraphed same message "a Mayors
Of fifty cities. Please wire answer and give your
views.
Without any hesitation Mayor Wanser
dictated the following message to Mayor
Pingree:-
Yes, am in favor of arbitration but all parties
must respect laws while arbitration is in progress.
This morning the Mayor received a second
message from Mayor Pingree. 1t was as
follows:-
viii you join in petition to Congress for the
submission of an amendment to the Constitute if
necessary, under which laws may be enacted for
the submission OF interstate labor troubles TO arbi-
trationl
Mayor Wanser has not as yet answered
this. Chief Murphy has issued orders to
the commandants of the various precincts to
have reserve men to proceed to the scene of
any outbreak should any occur He has
also directed the detectives to report any
trouble at any of the railroads without
delay.
1t was said last night that the members of
the Fourth Regiment had been ordered to
hold themselves in readiness for action in
case of any trouble here.
Brigadier General Wanser denies the
rumor.

DON'T WANT 10 STRIKE.

MAssILIoN, Ohio July 10, 1894.-A gener-
al meeting of the organized employees of the
Wheeling an1 Lake Erie Railroad was held
last night that continued until after mid
night The object of the meeting was to en-
able the four Brotherhoods to induce the A.
r. u. men to reconsider their strike reso-
lutions, if possible. Superintendent Stout
was present by invitation.
None of the A. r. U. people wanted to
strike, but they were compelled to go out,
they said. or give up their charter The
brotherhoods endeavored to persuade them
to renounce their allegiance to Debs last
night In this they failed, although the A.
R. u men agreed to telegraph Debs stating
their unwillingness to strike and asking to
have it declared off.
As yet no reply has been received. II they
persist in remaining out they will be re-
garded as having discharged themselves and
new men will be employed.

traffic on the Union Pacific system. They
say that in no event will the organizations
comprising the Federated Board walk out
now Having agreed with the Court, they
will now, if grievance arises, submit it to
the Court. They condemn the method pur
sued by Debs, in involving parties not
directly in interest in the fight with Pull

call out the knights of Labor the call would
be of no effect on the Union Pacific system.

VIGILAN7 OUHCLASSED.
Unable to Hold Her Own With
the Britannia-Another
Defeat.

GLASGOW, July 10, 1894 Britannia
and Vigilant started from Hunters Quay
this morning in race over the Clyde courss
for the Clyde Cerinthian Yacht Clubs Club,
valued at eco The weather was cloudy and
disagreeable, and the almost total absence Of
wind made it seem certain that today's COM
test would be another drifting match. The
Vigilant had been fitted during the nighs
with a new mainsail Both boats hung near
the line ready for the start, but they reach
ed the mark too soon and had to put about.
The Britannia crossed the line at 1924, and
the Vigilant at 1885, The Britannia had
the weather and was four lengths ahead.
The wind freshened little from the south
at 1856, when the tacks were broken.
The Britannia was ten lengths ahead at
Cloch Light both boats had their jib top
sails set From Cloch Light it was a dead
beat down the river and the Britannia in
creased her lead by 200 yards. The reach to
Ascog was uneventful The Britannia
turned the Ascog mark at 12:3l-13 and the
Yigilant at 12:35 l9.
BRITANNIA STILL AHEAD.
Beating down to Skelmorlie the Britannia
maintained her lead Both yachts took
lone Leo across. but broke it for the moment,
She failed in the attempt, however, and the
Britannia retained her position. The Nlgl-
lent hoisted her jip topsan to fetch Skel-
morlie Both boats failed to reach tho
! mark and were compelled to make small
leg TO fetch it Phe Britannia rounded
| Skelmorlie at IL :5S 3d. and the Nigilant at
12:01:S5.
After rounding Ascog it was a run before
| the wind. Both had their spinnakers port
ed, and the Vigilant was creeping up on the
Britannia The Vigilant's balloon sail was
drawing badly, but she was still threatening
to pass her British rival. The Nigllant
gained still further on the Britannia, and at
| Innelian, which was reached at l:25, the
| American boat went in front.
| The yachts finished the first round as fol-
| lows:-Britannia 2.30-35: Vigilant, 2.312S.
VIGILANT LED TWO Mills.
| The Vigilant's advantage was Of short
| duration. She led for about two miles, when
| the Britannia weathered her, and the breeze
| freshening, ran past her off Clocn l3olnu.
Both boats set their spinnakers and made the
run to Kilcreggan mark.
| Both yachts fetched Ascog with every
| inch of canvass drawing, the time at this
point being:-Britannia, 41L55; Figllant,
420.23
Thewind being fresher the yachts started
at a greater rate of speed for the second
round than they did for the first. Both
worked their way down the Inverskip shore
! by small legs. the Britannia invariabl
| holding the weather They rounded Skel-
morlis as follogs:-Britannia, 3:50:40;
Vigilant, 5;52:00
| The Britannia wins by about minutes.

outlook last night, except on the ST. Louis

GOOD SENSE AT BUFFALO
Wen Will Not Go Out TO Please Debs
Trains Moving Freely.

BUFFALO, NJ Y, July 10, 1s94.-The prob
ability of strike in Buffalo grows less with
each hour that sees Deb's order to take a
hand in the fight not acted upon. President
Mulligan continues to assert that he will not
call out his men until he can see something
to be gained by it, The real reason for the
DELAY however. is said to be lack of encour-
agement from railroad men not affiliated with
the A. r. U.
It is reported that Mallican yesterday
visited the South Buffalo yards and freely
exhibited Debs' message. Little satisfaction
was accorded binl, some of the men emphat-
ically declaring they would not go out in
support of Debs.
Railroad officials are less apprehensive
than for several days and express the belief
that the crisis has passed SO far as Buffalo is
concerned and that there will be no trouble
here
Western mails today are nearly OH sched
uIe time and the post Office officials expect
no further trouble.
Twenty-Five firemen, brakemen and switch
men left here at an early hour this morn
ing for Collingwood. the yards near Cleve-
land, to take the places Of strikers on the
Big -Four Road. The Lake Shore also sent
a number OF men to Cleveland last night.
