China has vessels with a speed of only
twelve knots, while Japan has vessels of

Since the naval tight off Gasan the run

The text of the Presidents personal
letter to Chairman Wilson on the outcome
of the tariff battle will not be made public,
nor would any reference whatever to it
have been permitted had not some one of
Wilson's friends Inadvertently disclosed
the fact. The letter was written Monday
morning as soon as the President received
bulletin saying the House had deter
mined to recede from its disagreement and
accept the Senate bill. The letter speaks
feelingly OF Wilson's devotion to tariff
reform and to his unselfish sacrifice of his
health and strength to carry out the prin-
ciples of the party. 1t does not discuss
the tariff. except in an indirect way, ex-
pressing deep sympathy and regret for the
personal reverse met by Wilson.
A letter from Secretary Carlisle to Sena-
tor Harris reviews the condition of the
treasury and the estimated revenues of
the Government for the next fiscal year.
The figures show that under the tariff bill

fiscal year ending June 80, 1895, SIS. .OOO.-

For several hours to-day the Senate de-
bated the question of proceeding immedi-

Private telegrams from Yokohama say
seven Chinese vessels were suak in the re-
cent engagement with the Japanese. This
report lacks confirmation and probably
arose from statement received from Y o.
kohama last night that news had been re-
ceived OF a battle on the 11th between the
Chinese and Japanese fleets, and that the
Chinese were driven off. INQUIRIES at the
Japanese legation here fail to obtain con-

P. NJ. Representative Pearson, Chairman
of the House Committee on Enrolled Bills,
left the Capitol for the White House,

to Secretary Thurber fifteen minutes later.
1t is stated with pOsitiveness by men,
bers OF Congress and others who stand
closest to President Cleveland that ne will
not veto the bill. They do not say he told
them so, but he talks in such a way as to
make a veto out of the question. They
only say the doubt remaining is whether
the bill will become law by the Presi-

expiration of ten days without his sigma

WASHINGTON. Aug. 15.-The Secretary
of the Interior has decided to take imme-

VERY QUIET NOW.
Hardly Ripple of Excitement OBJ
Servable in the House.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-Hardly ripple
of interest was excited in the House to-
day. There was passed the Senate bill to
extend the time for constructing rail-
road bridge across the Columbia at Van
couvsr. Wash.
Some interest was caused by the reading
of a resolution OF Mr.. Black reciting the
depletion of gold in the treasury and in
structing the Coinage Committee to report
bill for the proper ''use and avaiP' of
the silver in the treasury and instructing
the Rules Committee to report a rule for
its prompt consideration. II went to the
box in the regular order.
The conference report on the general
deficiency bill announced an agreement on
all amendments but one-the appropria-
ton of 81, 800. 600 to pay final judgments Of
the Court of Claims, among them the de-
cree in favor of the Southern Pacific Rail-
road Company. The report on the bill
was also agreed to with the reservation of
the one item of the Southern Pacific claim.
