the rule. SO far as learned, has been in the
mountainous districts OF Montana, where
deep SHOWS and the rigors of winter have
prevented those living In the interior from

books were open. In these sections
the Deputies have been obliged to

GRAFT, Austria. May 4-The party of
eight tourists who were imprisoned by a
sudden rise of water while exploring a
cavern on Saturday have not vet been
rescued and hope of saving the imprisoned
people has nearly been abandoned. There
seems to be no doubt that some of the
tourists are still alive, as blows. as if de-
lvered with a hammer, have recently been
heard coming from the interior of the
cavern.
The authorities of this city have sent a
telegram to Emperor Francis Joseph en-
treating him to send detachment of
military engineers TO the spot.
VIENNA, May An the reichstrath 20

ton of the tourists imprisoned in cavern
near GratZ and made a vigorous complaint
against the authorities of Graz for their
alleged inactivity. 1t is believed the gov

the matter and that a detachment of en-
gineers will be ordered there.

LONDON, May 4-In the house of CON-
nous this evening Mr.. Samuel Smith,
Liberal member for Flintshire, moved a
resolution that the government endeavor
to secure a stable par for the exchange ot
gold and silver by international agree
ment. The house, however, counted the
motion out without discussion.

WASHINGTON, May 4-The Democrats
express the greatest confidence in the sue
cess of the tariff bill. Senator Faulkner
said today the bill would become law be
fore the 18th of June and that congress
would adjourn by the 4th of July. Other
Democratic senators declared the tariff
bill would pass the senate before the
LIST of June. 1t is noticeable, however,
that some of the Democratic senators are
Gauvassing the probabilities OF securing
the populist vote in the senate and they
say Senators Allen and Kyle will vote for
the bill, so they can lose Hill, Murphy and
Smith if necessary, and still have the re-
guisite 43 votes.
Notwithstanding the truce agreed upon
between the Democratic and Republican
senators whereby it WAS arranged that
hostilities on the tariff should cease until
next Tuesday, there has not been day
when there was bolder talk and stronger
protest ations Oh the respective sides of the
chamber than today. While the Repu bill
can senators have allowed the Democrats
TO infer that when the amendments are
publicly announced aud the assurance of a
vote sufficient 10 pass the bill Is givI II
they viii yieid to the majority, they assert
privately that they know the necessary
clare that the Democrats in the senate
are gradually approaching more serious
trouble than they have yet encountered;
and, in making this statement they assert
that Senators Murphy and Smith are as
doubtful as is Senator Hill in the support
of the bill, il is amended.
The program of the Democratic mana
gers is to introduce the tariff amendments
on Monday, have them taken up in the full
committee GA finance on Tuesday and re-
ported to the senate SO as to continue the
debate after that date. In the meantime
they will proceed with their work Of clear
ing up the executive calendar and while
in the committee rooms they will arrange
for the renewal of the Battle which they
will try to carry by cavalry charge if the
Republicans do not make definite terms
with them.
Senator Mills was not at the caucus yes
terday. He was asked If his absence had
ANY significance and said no.
