TAKING THINGS EASY.
Little Work Being Accomplished
in Either House of Congress.

WASHINGTON, Aug. .0.-The Senate
seems to have reached that condition of
apathy and WEAKNESS that units it for
any serious. Legislative business (which
is not connected with the final DISPOSE
tion Of the tariff bill and the winding up
of the long session. To days sitting
came to close at 1:40, and part of
the time had been given to the consider
alton Of exec" tive business. Nothing
Of any public interest marked the brief
legislative day.
In the House.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Hawaiian
question came to the front again in the
House to day. forming the subject of the
most spirited and interesting portion of
the proceedings. Mr.. Boute1le raised it
as "of privilege. He repudiated the
reported imputation that, in resolutions
recognizing the Hawsiian:republic, he
had sought to obtain partisan advant.
ago for the Republican party, but that
he was DESTROYS only OF maintaining the
honor and dignity OF the Government
and OF observing the unbroken traditions
of the country and. of Congress.
he criticised the failure of the com
mittee on foreign affairs to act upon his
resolutions and denounced the Hawaiian
policy Of the administration, especially
the last act, which he described as the
grudging, hating, secretive recognition
OF the republic of Hawaii by the Presl.
dent. Mr.. Boutelle arraigned the ad-
ministration for its Hawaiian policy, and
was receiving the applause of his Re.
publican associates when Mr.. Coombs
(Dem., N. W called him to order on
the ground that he was not speaking to
a question Of personal privilege.
Speaker Crisp sustained the point
and raped the gentlemen from Maine
to order. An excited oolloauy between
him and the Speaker ensued, in the
course of which the speaker said Mr.
Boutelle, from his long experience,
must know that he had gone beyond
the limits of a matter OF personal privi-
lege and warned him that he could not
continuously violate the rules OF the
House. Mi. Boutelle insisted that he
had stated the matter was quest ton
not only Of personal privilege. but OF
the privilege of the House and asked
the speaker to rule upon that point.
The Speaker-"The chair rules that
the gentleman is out of order"
Mr.. Boutalle.-"Oh, the Speaker caa
refuse to hear" Before taking his seat,
Mr.. Bou,elle unskilfully endeavored to
got unanimous consent to move that tn
committee on foreign affairs be dis
charged from the further consideration
OF his resolutions, and that they BIO con
sidered by the House.
The bill to increase the efficiency OF
the militia came up again, and gave
rise to discussion, in which the recent
riots at Chicago were referred to. The
hour expired, and without action the
bill went over.
The special order adopted yesterday
was called up, and the House, under it,
proceeded, in committee of the whole,
to consider bills on the private calendar
reported from the committee on claims
Six were passed. and the House at 4:5O
adjourned until tomorrow.

1T to Mayor Jones R. A. Pollard, q
former foreman of the chain gang, was
sent for, who in company with Officer
Eanes persuaded all tho men to 90 to
work except John Hairston. He de-
clared he would rather die than work.
John was securely bound and was hung
up on crowbar head downward for
several minutes. The dose was re-
peated second time and he was glad
enough to go to work. Hairston ap-
peared to be the ringleader of the gang.

IT PROVED TO Be A FALSE A6pE.
No Signs of an Agreement on
the Tariff Bill.
When the Conferees Met Yesterday tho
House Members Insisted on Free Coal
This Proposition Not Aocepted-sen-
ator Brioe Suggests a Change in the
Sugar Schedule.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 9.-The Demo-
cratic tariff conference had expected to
be able to announce sn agreement to-
day but instead OF reaching any definite
conclusion the day closed with the bill
in quite as uncertain state as ever be-
fore in it's history, with the situation in
no wise improved and with the feeling
between the friends of the Senate bill
and the House bill intensified instead Of
allayed.
1t was apparent at the very beginning
OF the conference that those who had
come to the conclusion at the adjourn
ment OF yesterdays session that an
agreement would be arranged to-day
had not taken sufficiently into account
the possibility of a misunderstanding or
change OF mind. This discovery was
made when the Senate conferees pre-.
pared to go on with the bill upon the
basis of duty of 40 cents per ton on
coal and free iron ore, whereupon the
House conferees announced their un.
Willingness to accept this arrangement
and stated that they would insist upon
a reversal Of these terms with free coal,
and iron ore dutiable If either was to
be, as they understood that they were to
have choice between the two.
The avowal of this position produced
immediate confusion, and led to an ex =
change of remarks which were not alto
gether polite. The Senate conferees
thereupon decided to report the state of
affairs TO the conservative Senators, and.
when the conferees adjourned, called
Senators German, Brice, Smith and
Murphy into consultation.
The whole situation WAS outlined to
them. They were not only made &C
quainted with the demand of the con-
forces for free wool, but were also given
to understand that other material con-
cessions would be expected by the House
conferees along the entire line of the
bill, including woolens. cottons, metals,
glass and earthenware. They decided
upon an emphatic negative in reply to
these propositions
Senator Brice proposed an innovation
in the shape OF position that the
House conferees be given an opportunity
to secure free sugar. His idea in detail
was that the Senate conferees should
volunteer to recede entirely from the
Senate sugar schedule leaving both raw
and refined sugar on the free list and
leave coal and iron on the dutiable list
at 40 cents ton.
The conferees adopted tho suggestion
and presented the proposition at the
noon session OF the conference between
| the members of the two houses. 1t is
understood that the proposition created
some surprise on the part OF the House
members. who at first evinced dispo-
sition to accept it, but after consider
able discussion of the merits of this
feature of the proposition and of the
other features, involving the accept
ance of the other Senate amendments
declined to vouchsafe an answer with
out further consideration. The question
was therefore undisposed OF when the
conference adjourned for the day.

President Clark Skipped Out.

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind, Aug. 9.-Presi-.

AN IMPORTANT VICTORY.
Chinese Driven From One Of Their Stronghold;
by Yamagata's Army.

WASHINGTON, Oct. 29-The Japanese
legation received a dispatch which con-
firms the news published yesterday from
Shanghai of second victory of the Japan
ese army under Marshal Yamagata. The
telegram is dated Hiroshima, and reads rs
follows:
"Before dawn of Oct. 26 our army,
under Marshal Yamagata, attacked Kin
Len Cheng, one of the important strong
holds upon the Chinese frontier. The
place was defended by 10000 troops under
Generals Lin and Song. The Chinese
fled after offering only a slight resistance,
and the japanese forces took possession
of the fortifications and the city. They
capturcd 30 large field guns, an immense
quaint of rice, food of other kinds, etc,
and more than 300 tents The japanese
loss was 20 killed and 63 wounded, The
Chinese lost go killed The exact number
of their wounded is not known"
1t is believed at the Japanese legation
that the General Lin mentioned in the
above dispatch is the noted Chinese com
mandcr who played such a prominent part
during the Tonquin difficulty, and tc
whom it was recently reported Niceroy Ii
had offered the chief command in the
Chinese army.
The japanese prcss go to extremes i'll
their dem nds for indemnity from China.
One of them says China must pay Japan
ten times the cost of the war and must
agree to let Japanese troops be stationed
throughout China hereaftec.
A Toxic paper states that prior to a
Chinese naval inspection by Lii Hung
Chans the men manufactured cannon balls
out of clay, painted them black and passed
inspection with this bogus equipment.
