The tariff bill will be reported
to the Senate on Thursday OF this
week. Chairman Voorhees, says
that it will be in substantially the
same form as it passed the House,
excepting that sugar, iron, and
coal will be put back on the dntia-
lie list" If the Senate should
pass this sort of bill, reducing the
free list as adopted by the House
schedule, democracy will have a
nice time making explanations to
the people in the next national
elsction. With coal, iron, and gu
gar, which were made free by the
House bill, put back on the dntia-
BILE list by the Senate, the. 5ally
free thing on the tariff bill will be
wool, and there will not be enough
popularity in free wool alone to save
the democracy in the next cam
paign.

ATCHIsoN REORGANIZATION.
Chairman Haynes in Defense Of His
Pet Scheme.

CHICAGO, June %. = Somer Haynes,
chairman of the reorganization committee
of the Atchison road, is in Chicago to-day.
Speaking Of the plan of reorganization
be said ii was a mistake to suppose that
the stockholders would be deprived of
their right to vote on any oral questions
submitted.
''The depositing of their stock with a
trust company" he said, sis mere matter
of convenience to provide way by which
the income bondholders may also have
vote during the period they derive no in
come from the securities. The laws Of
this country provide that only stockholders
shall have vote in the affairs Of the COM
pany, but by agreement we have arranged
to allow the income bondholders the same
privilege. When any question is to be
voted on there will be a preliminary meet
ing of both stockholders and bondholders,
something like primary meeting at cleo
tlOns. At this meeting the stockholders
will cast an informal vote. the result of
which will be placed in the hands of the
trustee of the stock, and he will cast the
formal vote in conformity herewith"
Mr.. Haynes appeared ohave little doubt
that the plan of reorganization will be a
success.
LONDON. June 22-The AtchisoH bond

ONE LIFE HAS BEEN LOS
While the Destruction of Property
and Livestock Can Hardly Be
Estimated.

WICHITA. Kans., June %. - The Ar
kansas River broke its banks here tonight
and portion of the city is flooded. There
is great alarm among the coloTed people
near the levee and hundreds of them are
fleeing. The water tonight is higher than
it has ever been and is still rising. 1t is
probable that the city will be Inundated
before morning.
a deep, swift current is now flowing
over Griswold Park and the adjoining resi-
dence portion of the town. Tie water is
rising rapidly, and another two feet will
send it sweeping down Main street. The
lower floors of many houses are already
under water, and people are eXcitedly load
ing their property into boats.
The great rains of yesterday have swollen
all the streams Uf this section, and most of
them have broken over their banks. The
farmers have already suffered an immense
loss through the destruction OF their crops
and stock.
AT midnight tonight the water is higher
than it has been since the great flood of
1887. The body of a man with trunk
and a valise fOated under the Douglass
avenue bridge a few minutes ago, and it
is supposed the rise caught him while he
was crossing the stream. The body could
not be rescued at that hour
Reports have come in from the country
to the effect that many houses are under
water between here and Hutchinson, and
the loss of stock and grain is very large.
One farm, six miles north of here. has had
thirty-two hogs swept away and lost six
head of cattle. The floating debris that is
passing through here indicates heavy
losses to farmers. The stockyards in this
city are completely under water.
WICHITA. Kans., June 23.-It is re-
ported at o'clock this morning that the
water is about to flow into Lawrence ave-
nue.. this city. The Seventeenth-street
bridge is in great danger, and if it col
lapses it will probably cause the desttuc-
tiOn of eleven bridges below ii. Reports
from the West say another body of high
water is coming down, and the people are
greatly alarmed.

In the matter of the right of asylum.
Although the Salvadorian refugees with

So far the negotiations between the two

Bitter Feeling Between Rival Re-
ligiouS Societies Leads to
Serious Trouble.

ST. LOUIS, June 22.-Alvan Reed, an
A. p. A. leader and financial secretary of
Compton Hull Council No AZ, was sand
baGged on Tuesday night while on his
way home from the lodge ana robbed of
the records of his society.
On the same night A. N Mcbride, record
ing secretary of the council, was waylaid
in lonely sport by four masked men, but
he fought his way out of the trap with the
aid of a loaded revolver and escaped un-
harmed.
Compton Hill Council is one of the
largest branches of the A. P. A. in ST.
Louis. 1t was organized about three years
ago, and has over 500 members. Meetings
are held every Tuesday night. Saint
Kevin's Branch of the Continental League
meets every Thursday night near the
meeting place of the a. p. A. Council. Its
members are all anita. p. A. men and for
some time there has existed feeling of
the bitterest enmity between the men,
bers Of the two organizations. OF late the
feeling has grown so strong that boycotls
have been declared By members Of Saint
Kevin's against every merchant that is
known to belong TO the A. 2. A. Reed lives
In Rutmer street, and while walking home
after meeting of the council Tuesday
night he felt a tuggiDg at the books under
his arm and instincttvely he tigh.ened his
grasp, but at that instant there came a
violent blow on the side of the head The
blow stunned Reed and he fell into the
gutter. One of his assailants then
pounced upon him and choked him, while
the others picked up the books and ran.
The man who did the choking did not re-
lax his hold until his com panions were
out Of sight. Then he sprang to his
feet and disappeared in the darkness
Reed had considerable amount of money
in his pockets that had been collected at
the lodge. but no effort was made to take
either it or his gold watch or chain.
Mcbride says four men with masks over
their faces sprang at him out of the dark
ness, but before they could reach him he
drew revolver and threatened to shoot If
they came closer. One OF the four said
they intended him no harm. but he kept
his revolver leveled at them and they
went away. He reached home without
further incident.
While Reed and Mcbride claim to have
heard of threats being made by members
Of st. Kevin's League against A. P. A.
officials and suspect that organization be-
Ing implicated in the assault. neither has
any proof of the fact.

The committee which had been ap-
pointed during the morning to walt upon

the Pullman Company. They stated to
Mr.. Wicks that they were committee OF
the American Railway Union appointed
to once more ask the Pullman Company to
arbitrate the differences between the COM
pany and the men on strike.
Vice-President Wicks replied that he
had already stated the position Of the COM
pany on this question. and the situation
remained unchanged. He stated further
that the Pullman Company would not re-
celve for consultation any committee rep
resenting the American Railway Union.
The committee thereupon notified him
that unless the decision is reversed before
u o'clock noon on Wednesday the Amer
lean Railway Union will declare general
boycott on all of the dining and sleaping
cars of the Pullman Company in this
country. No reply was given 10 this and
the committee left without parley.
When this was made known to the con-
vention in executive session a boycott was
declared on all Pullman cars beginning g
Wednesday next at noon unless some word
is received from the Pullman Company
before that time. This motion was cheered
to the echo, and when it had been adopted
the delegates arose from their chairs and
cheered Justify.
After the discussion of the strike the
delegates proceeded to elect officers for the
ensuing year. President Debs, Vice-Presi-
dent Howard, L.. w. Rogers, James Ho-
gan, Roy Goodwin and w. E. Burnes
