sweetheart. a sportive young farmer
who lives near Webb City, really
committed the theft. The story goes

Train Robber Abrams Declares That Ne
Daniel Led Them Into Mischief.

MEMPHIS, Mo-, Sept 20.-The two
captured train robbers, Lincoln Over
fell and Charles Abrams, are in Jail
here awaiting the action of the grand
jury.
Overfield, beyond admitting that he
was present at the scene of the at
tempted robbery. refuses to talk. He
lies in his bed with his head covered
and crying most of the time.
Abrams, the wounded robber. talks
more freely and his statement places
1nformer Mcdaniel in an unenviable
light, if true. He says that Mcdaniel
was the one to plan the robbery and
coaXed the others into it. He says
the first proposition came from Ne
Daniel, who had to use considerable
persuation. Abrams is no better to-
day and there is little hope of his re-
covery.
Nothing has been heard from the
officers in pursuit of the other three
robbers

From this it appears that, while the
population of the United States is
greater in 1s93-1s94, than in 1s92-1s93.
and therefore che wheas crop should
be SO much greater, it really fell off,
so that the spring wheat crop of 1893
1894 fell $4,000. 600 bushels below that
OF the previous year, while the winter
wheat crop fell off 1919 bushes in
tho same time, or a total shrinkage of
%, 731 ,319 bushels. And the crop of
1894 will be still smaller than that of
1898. The falling off from 1892 to
1898 was equal to our whole average
expectation of wheat from the United
States. IN

Plenty OF material for encourage

nothing else. But business men who
want to see the situation exactly as

it is difficult to strike balance.
In the aggregate, business is about
tenth larger than last year, but still
falls about twenty-five per cent below

rae TARIFP CONFERENCE

RBrnoreA That Coal aad Iron are to b put
HACK on the Free Llst-RspubucRh Pro-
tsst Arnln,t the Democratic Exclusive
Course.
wAsnxorox, D. C.. July l2-There
was more interest manifested to-day
among senator's aud members OF tho
house not members Of the tariff con.
ference committee than on any previous
day since thv-eonierence commenced,
and tho air about tho senate and house
was fall Of runors as 70 what had been
done. Many OF these stories we're con-
sidered efficiently well founded to
Justify senators aud members in dis.
cussing them as accomplished facts.
Tho most persistent OF these rumors
was that coal and iron orc were to DO
restored to tho FREQ ..list as they were
when the bill passed the house.
Tho members OF the committee spoke
to upon this subject after the adjourn
ment OF tho committee declared that no
action had ~ vet been taken upon
these two items, and they went SO far
as TO declare that they had not even
been discussed.
Ever since tho Democratic members
Of tho conference committee began
their meetings last Monday without In.
wiling tho Republicans members to DO
present there has been manifested a
disposition on tho part OF Republicans
OF both houses to criticise the partisan
method OF proceeding. and this dissatis-
faction took shape to-day in the intro
duction by Senator Hale Of u resolution
calling attention to the failure OF the
Democrats to call full conference oil
Democrats and Republicans.
Senator Hale later said that tho reso'
luton was the result OF an understand
ing amoag several Republican senators.
lie expressed the opinion that tho reSo-
luton would develop mn interesting
debate in the senate tomorrow.
"This proceeding on the part OF the
Democratic conferGcs, IL" hO said, "un-
precedonted In tho history oil tho coun-
try. The law says that conference
between managers on the part OF the
two houses shall be full and tree, and
contemplates that they shall DO held
after tho appointment OF the managers.
1t has now been ten days since the
tariff pill passed the senate aud almost
week since the conference nskcd for
was conceded by the house, and yet, so
fur as tho Republican members OF tho
conference committee know. there has
been no conference whatever. They
have received no notice OF any. and OF
course the meeting between the Demo-
cratic senators aud members is purely
unofficial. We OF this side OF the
chamber think we have right to know
what Is being done vita SO important
measure as the tariff bill and when
tho conference is to DO called IL at all.
Wc also think the country has right
to u knowledge OF the facts and have.
therefore. decided to mako our opinion
to that ollcct known"
Senator Aiirich statcs that the Re-
publican members OF the conference
commit.ce, whom they shall DO invited
to participate in tho conference. would
resist any effort that might be
made 10 present partial report, but
that they will insist that there shall DO
but ono report and that it shall show
tho entire scope OF tho Democratic
plans. 1t is understood that Senator
Hill will stand with tue Republicans III
making this demand.
