Kev. Dixon a rrophet Of Evil.

New YORK, July 31.-Rev. Thomas
Dixon spoke yesterday morning in
Association hall on the Coming
Strike" Among things he said: 1.-THE
outlook for the immediate future is
one of suffering and oppression. The
capitalists will surely retaliate on the
workingman. They will triumph in
their strength. Yet they should not
imagine that they are safe from
future violence. Another strike is
bound to come. It will effect every
industry and paralyze the world. I
predict that a fearful struggle will
occur in the near future

TERRIBLE WORK OF WISCONSIN,
FOREST FIRES.
TOUCHING SCENES At PHILLIPS.
Nothing But Heaps of Ruins Mark the
Place Where It Once StoOd-FIfteen
Lives LOst-The People Relate an
Awful Experience OF Suffer
ing-Relief Trains Going
to Their Assistance.

PHILLIPS, Wis, July 31.-The ter
fible scene here beggars all descrip-
tion-the blackened faces of those
who fought to save their homes, stare
with blood-shot eyes at the heaps of
ruins which mark their once happy
homes Not since the terrible forest
fires that destroyed Peshtigo, has any
thing occurred which will compare
with the scene of ruin here. A COM
mitJee of citizens from Ashland ar
rived with a special train of provisions
Saturday night at 9 o'clock. It was the
first material relief to arrive and it
came just in time to keep the people
from actually suffering from want of
food. Provisions were given out in
small quantities so as to make them
last as long as possible and keep
something available until other pro-
visions arrived.
Men and women walk the street all
begrimmed, wringing their hands and
bemoaning their sad ia tie. Only
town hall and few small buildings
are all that are left standing. They
were Immediately converted into
shelter for the destitute, but only
few of the women and children could
crowd into them. A vast multitude
had to remain without shelter and
food all night, but tents were
brought in from neighboring towns
and IMPROVED huts utilized. Gov
ernor Peck and his staff arrived from
Madison yesterday, as also a dozen
cars of provisions from various cities
and the organization for relief has
been completed.
Great crowds of residents who were
chased out of the city by flames Fri
day are returning to look over the
ruins. Already lumber is being ship
ped in for the purpose of rebuilding,
and operations have begun.
Two more bodies have been recov-
cred from the river where the ter
rible loss of life occurred, those of
Mr.. j. Locke and one of his chill
dren. The boat-house on which
the desperate men, women and
children took refuge was pushed
from the shore. Before it
had gone far the suction of
the flames drew it right up into
a regular furnace of fire. The boats
were either overturned or the people
jumped. 1t is now estimated that fif-
teen lives were lost at this place. 1t
is supposed that the bodies of several
children are buried under the ruins of
the wagon and foot bridge, which it is
claimed gave way while they were
trying to escape from the flames to
the peninsula which runs out into the
lake, approaching closely the location
of the John r. Davis Lumber com
pany's plant. Mrs. Cliss, who was
picked up after clinging to an over
turned boat for over an hour, is doing
nicely, and it is thought will recover.
Relief trains have fairly poured in
here to-day and there are supplies of
food here now sufficient to last the
fire sufferers a month. The relief
committee asks especially for clothing
and money, and these will be amply
provided by the people of the state
without outside help.

DEADLoCN WEAKENING.
HOuss Confe-ees Expect an Agreement
This week-senate WIN Give Way.

This week-Senate WIN Give Way.
WASHINGTON, Aug 1.-The tariff
deadlock is breaking up, and after
being together two hours this after
noon, the house conferrees said posi-
lively that there would be an agree
ment this week. One of the conferrees
added that the house men stood to
their position and that the agreement
would be with substantial concessions
to the house.
It was the first time. said the con-
fierce, that the senators had shown
disposition to meet the house half
way.
Representative Springer says forty
five names have been signed to the
petition for house Democratic tariff
caucus Thursday. 1t takes forty-five
signatures to secure a call. He says
the list will reach seventy-five by
Thursday.
The Democratic members of the
tariff conference committee did not
accomplish anything at their first
meeting to-day. Chairman Voorhees,
of the senate conferrees and Chairman
Wilson of the house conferrees were
both absent on account of illness.
Senator Jones was also absent. The
meeting was purely Informal and very
brief and when it adjourned it was
understood that the conferrees would
get together again at o'clock for the
purpose of renewing the efforts to
come to an understanding.
The friends of the Wilson bill were
full of hope. They gathered about
the chairman and the other house
conferees on the tariff and assured
them that the danger of an adverse
caucus action by the house had been
averted and that house Democrats
could now be depended upon to stand
by the house bill to the end.
At first there was an inclination
among Mr.. Wilson'S friends to remain
away from the caucus. If this had
been adhered to it is probable the
caucus would have lacked a quorum.
The senate conferees do not seem
so hopeful of a speedy agreement and
say that it stands very much as it has
stood all along.
The house conferees have been in
sisting that if the bill is reported back
on lines which they propose it Will be
found that there are votes enough in
the senate to pass the bill, and have
been urging the senate conferees to
give the bill a trial in the senate on
these lines. They assert that upon
no other basis can an agreement be
reached. It is not claimed that the
senate conferees agree to any such ar
rangement, but the house members
are hopeful that something of the
kind will be done.
