THE TARIFF CONFERENCES.
New Plan for Placing a Tax or
Whisky.

WASHINGTON, July 15-The tariff con-
ferrees have had suggested to them a plan
for taxing whisky-one of the largest
revenue-producing items-which has not
heretofore been considered IN either the
House OF Senate bill. 1t was proposed by
one of the Senators, and sentiment
toward it is quite favorable. The plan
contemplates sliding scale. the mini
mum tax being 81 per gallon on whisky
out of bond at the end of five years, and
advancing 5 cents per gallon for each year
in bond beyond five years and not exceed
ing eight years. On this basis the tax
would be: Five years. 81; six years,
81 o.; seven years. ST 10; eight years. 81 10
By this arr ang.ment the eightyears
bondage period is secured by the dis
tilers, although it is offset by the tax Of
81 10 per gallon if advantage is taken Of
the full nine years.
There was no meeting Of the conferrees
today and no informal gatherings OF the
two sides. Chairman Wilson left for West
Virginia last night, where Mrs. Wilson is
still sick. Memb ers of the committee do
not indorse Senator Brlce's statement that
there will be report of the committees

worth 100000 in his own right, occupies
a cell in the central station. When
arrested he gave the name of Fred Henry
Cooper, but he was recognized by for

of which he is a graduate. Tonight he
made a full confession to Detective
Baker. Whlteman lived in Danyllle,
n. Y His father, now deceased. had
made him executor of his will without
being required to give bonds. The result
was he had nearly a million dollars at his
disposal. Most of the money was invested
in good securities in New York State, and
part of it belonged TO his sister.
While living in Duluth Whiteman be-
came addicted to gambling. He invested
in piue lands that did not materialiZs and
found himself on financial shoal. 1t is
asserted that he misappropriated large
sum from his sisters share of the estate,
and later became identified with gang of

different parts of the country. He is unde +

THUNDER AND LIGHTNING.
Dangerous Play of the Elements in
Carson Valley.

CARSON, July 15.-Csrson Valley was
visited by a succession of thunder shower
last Saturday. The air was so charged
with electricity that it was dangerous to
be cut.
About 1 o'clock there came a binding
flash OF lightning. followed by claps, of
thunder that shook the earth. Two young
men in George Browns barnyard were
seen to TALL. They were both insensibIe
for time, but finally came round all
right. Inside of the stable a fine young
mare belonging to one of the young men
lay dead in the stall. and the roof was in a
blaze, where the electrical current had
passed through the shingles. Everything
was damp or there might have been a
serious conflagration.
Many people in the vicinity were dazed
by the cOncussiOn.

COULD NOT FIND THE BODY
Return of the Party Sent to Search
for Colgate.

MIssoULA. Mont. July 15.-The Col
gate searching-party sent out by the
Evening MissOulian under the direction
of Benjamin F. Kelley, the trapper who
escorted the Carlln hunting party out OF
the mountain Businesses last fall, which
left this city June 6. returned unex-
pectedly this afternoon. The party made
a thorough search of the river-banks and
surrounding country for a distance of
seven miles in all directions from the spot
where the unfortunate cook was deserted
by his companions. Not single trace of
the missing man could be found, nor was
there anything 10 indicate he had wan
dered from the camp where he had been
left. The Kelley party encountered many
hsrdships on the trip, but stuck faithfully
to the task until all hope of finding Col
gates bones had to be abandoned. 1t is
now generally believed the old man
persisted near the spot where deserted and
that his remains were carried away by the
waters, which attaiued a height of forty
feet above low water mark during the
spring.

Programme for the Week
in Congress.
TARIFF DEBATE IN SIGHT.
Then the Chinese Treaty May
Be Considered.
URGENT APPROPRIATION BILLS.
The Tariff Conference Report Will
Call for Prompt Attention in
Some Shape.

WASHINGTON, July 15.-There is no
settled programme for this week in the
House. Everything will be subject to
displacement in favor of the conference
report on the tariff bill, when one is
agreed upon. The House managers, in
case report is made this week. are not
disposed to allow too much time to be
consumed by debate, especially if dis
agreement is reported on the vital differ
ences between the two Houses.
Though the lime will be limited, it Is
the desire of the House managers to give
sufficient opportunity for the leading
House members to place their positions
squarely before the country.
The absence of Speaker Crisp. who is
expected on Tuesday, unless the condition
of his son does not improve. makes the
business of the House, pending the report
from the conference, problematic.
Tomorrow is suspension day, and
Tuesday will probably be given to the
Committee on Judiciary. Further than
that, however, no programme has been
mapped out.
The only positive indication for the wee k
in the Senate is that the consideration Of
appropriation bills will be continued.
There is a probability a day or TWO will be
given to the Chinese treaty and a posi-
bility that the tariff conference report will
call for attention in some shape. The
taking up of the treaty will depend upon
whether the managers OF the apprOpria-
ton bills will consent to yield the time for
il, and the further consideration Of the
tariff question will depend upon whether
the cOnferrees shall make their report and
incidentally upon the character of the re-
port when made.
Senator Gray, representing the admins
tration. is very anxious to have the treaty
opinion that it will be possible to get it Up
Tuesday or Wednesday. When considered
it probably will consume an entire day if
not more time in executive session.
Secretary Gresham does not conceal the
concern he feels with regard to the treaty.
and he has been re-enforced during the past
week in his efforts to secure early and
favorable consideration by the presence
and arguments of Minister IDENTIFY, who
has visited the Senate on different Occa-
sions on that behalf.
II the tariff conference report shall
reach the Senate, it will undoubtedly
evoke consdera bic discussion if it should
attempt to lower the rates or change any
of the material amendments of the Senate.
When the Senate adjourned Saturday
the executive and judicial appropriation
bill was under consideration. 1t is ex-
pected when it shall be disposed Of, as 1t
is thought it will be on Monday, the In
dio n aOnronriatinn hill will he taken nm
ana that out of the way, the agricultural,
District of Columbia, sundry civil and
general deficiency bills will be considered
probab bly, in the order named. These will
complete the list. 1t is possible there will
be more or less debate on all of these bills,
but il other questions are not allowed to
interfere. all probably can be disposed of
during the week.

At half-Dast . o'clock flame was dis
covered by priest passing in the neigh
borhood between Stuarts blacksmith-shop
and the Santos dwelling, at the point on
the Tamalpais road where it turns from

Before the little flame was extinguished
it had so lit the sky that in San Francisco
it might have been mistaken for the herald
of the rising sun.
1t had enveloped the Saptos building in
less than a minute from the time of its
discovery. 1t leaped eastward again to
Santos fruitstore and the office of Judge
Simpson. Justice of the Peace.
The feedstOre OF John Sashdria ad-

nay and grain as it was, gave the fire a
new and now masterful impetus.
The alarm had been given, and the Fire

owned by G. S. Adella.
The alarm had scarcely been sounded
through the house when the flames that
were leaDing into the sky threw a re-
f1ected light into the sleeping apartments

alarm with its warning. A stampede en-
sued in which many of the boarders for

clothing.

The destruction of these buildings was
complete, the fire burning until it had
burned itself out, and only the. blackened
site of where they we're remains.
Such was the cOmbustible nature of the
buildings and their contents that the COM

more than half an hour. So quickly did it
do its work that persons sleeping in the

only at their usual hour to learn what had
taken place.
