ity until the house shall have had an op- portunity to explain itself upon the situa- tion. There is undoubtedly desire on the part of large majority of tho Demo cratic scnators-practially all of them, un- less 1t may be the Louisiana senators-tO have the house take possession of the bill.
 This Is due to the general belief in the senate that the house will accept the scn- ate amendments, and that the senate bill will thus become law and to the fear that if the bill should again go to the senate 1t would be indefinitely postponed, while on the other hand 1t Is believed that If the house should agree to the senate amend mcnts the senate would acquicsce in this action and waive the technical objections which might pe raised over the possession of the bill
 It Is understood that even Senator Hill. notwithstanding his opposition to tho bill would bo disposed to accept the favorable action of the house as final and to permit the bill to go to the president without raising any parliamentary questions con corning it.
 The Hill resolution has had its day in court, has gone to the calendar and could not be taken up except upon vote of tho senate. It IS also suggested that without the actual possession of the bill n motion for indefinite postponement would bc out of order. and that the only process by which the senate could secure possession would he through a motion to reconsider its action granting n conference and then to ask the house to rcturn tho bill.
 There would be two difficulties in tho way of the execution of this plan. Recon sidcration could not, in view of tn lapse of time since the granting of tho confer cnce, he had except by unanimous consent, and even with this received and the re- quest made upon the house the return of the bill would depend upon the courtesy of that body. It would theruforo seem that the senate can do nothing with refer ence to tho tariff at the prosent stage

The Attack on wci-Hai-wei.

SHANGHAI, Aug. 1S-The Japanese squadron that attacked Wei Hhi-Wei con- sisted of 26 vessels. It Is not definitely known how many of the fleet were men, of-war The warships drow up in line of battle off tho port and opened fire carly Friday morning.
 There were no Chinese warships in the vicinity, and the engagement was entirely between the Japanese men ofwar and the forts. The whereabouts of the Chinese fleet was unknown. Tho forts, however, were able without much difficulty to re- pulse tho attack. About 50 shots werc ex- changed, but no material damage was done on either side.
 The soldiers manning the guns of the Qualifications showed themselves to be la- mentally deficient in markmanship. Most all of their shots were i'll directed, the shells either falling short of the vessels aimed at or going wide of their marks.
 When the fleet withdrew, 1t proceeded to Port Arthur, which p;acc it attacked Friday evening Little, if any, damage Is reported to have been done at this latter place.
 The operations arc regarded as having been not attempts to capture either Wei Hai- Wei or Port Arthur, but simply ruses on the part of the Japanses commander to ascertain the exact position and strength of the Chinese guns Ut the two places.
 On Thursday last two small Chinese gunboats were sighted going nt full speed In tho direction of Tien-T Tsin.

BROOKLYN BRIEFS.

The Naugatucks whipped the St. Thomas cadets Saturday afternoon by the score of II to l2. The Cadets say they had but four of their regular players in the game. They expect to make better preparations for the next contest. and have no doubt of their ability to win the other two games.
 Who will be appointed policeman in the South Brooklyn district is the ques- ton now being talked of among the resi- dents of that section. Several names have been mentioned but for some reason or other the parties mentioned do not care to have anything to do with the office.
 The trolley cars are a Godsend to the young ladies of this section and a source of much annoyance to some of the young men who heretofore have been a little dlla- tory in calling on their best girls on Sun day evening. If the fellows are not on hand now at the appointed time the girls immediately start for Naugatuck on the trolley cars. Last night two young men happened to be a little behind time and when they reached the residences of their lady friends they were informed that the girls had gone out for a ride on the cars. The fellows headed them oil at the cor ner of Washington avsnue and South Main street and boarded the same car NneAc ene9 SAW tut Shis III Lronk Se8t, having good time with a couple of other fellows. When they reached NaugAtuek an explanation followed and the girls re leased their new beaus. but not before the old ones had promised to keep a better lookout for the clock in the future. It is said there are lots of fellows in Naugatuck who would like to get in with Waterbury girls, so those fellows had better be on the lookout. Wonder how 1t would work if the fellows should try luck with the Naug- atuck girls?
