cussed the coal aud iron ore questions, be-
sides revertiDg to the sugar schedule.
The talk, however. served no purpose, ex-
cept to emphasize the fact that the dis
agreement is still unbroken ana that very
little if any progress is being made.
There are some indications that an
early conclusion of the conference may be
brought about. One of these is found in
the fact that Senator German has been
making a careful investigation of the
status of the bill in case a report should be
made. Certain of the conservative Sena-
tors have been very impatient of the de-
lay in the conference and it is known a
resolution discharging the conference
from further consideration of the bills and
receding from the differential was drawn
up by one of them on Monday and would
have been presented on that day but for
the interference of members of the con-
ference committee. There is still talk OF
the possibility of such motion, but it will
not be made, except with the consent of
the Senate conferees.

say that while NowackPs offer will be
duly appreciated, yet it would be promptly
declined. The Japanese army has been
brought up to very high standard OF effl-
cheney, modelled very much after the tao
tics in vogue in Germany. and if the former
Government sought the assistance OF
foreign troops, which is not regarded as
probable, it is likely that efforts would be
made to obtain them from Germany.
The House Committee on Judiciary to-
day agreed TO report against the admission
of Japanese to citizenship. The decision
was in reference to bill providing that

HAWAIIAN MISSION.
There Is a Great Mystery Kept by

WASHINGTON, Aug. There Is some
anxiety manifested in Congressional circles

the royalist ENJOYS from Hawaii. While
they ave talked with various members of
Congress they have not confded to any
one definite impression of the ends which
they hope to accomplish by their mission.
IE a general way they have reviewed the
various wrongs attending the overthrow of
the monarchy from their standpoint, and
they have complained of the interference
of Mr. Stevens, who they say brought
about the downfall. They represent that
the present Government cannot be con-
sidered a republic, and are not satisfied
with the attitude of Mr. Willis, who is
said TO be as friendly to the American
element as was bis predecessor. But they
do not ask the Americans TO do anything
in behalf of the deposed Queen, nor do
they state definitely why :hey are here.
One of two objects is suggested by men,
bers of Congress to have brought the dele
CATION, to urge the administration to carry
out its abandoned attempt to restore the
Queen, or make arrangements for pecuni-
ary redress for her. The Commissioners
have expressly disclaimed either of these
purposes, and their objects are yelled in
mystery.

senger steamer that plies between the Indian
agency and Thief River Falls distance Of
l2O miles. Fully half the trip was made be-
tween wal, of fire.
Mr.. Barnum says the flames had jumped
the Thief river and cut a sWath through the
dense forest fully sixty miles wide. The
whole country is aname, but, owning to the
fact that communication is slow, little has
been heard about it further south. The
steamer was forced to 90 three and four
miles at time and then everybody would

bars until the fire and heat abated some

it was with the utmost difficulty that it was
saved. If had burned the whole party
would have perished.

such a temperature by the fire that the sur

Bear, deer and other large game were flee

small canoe parties of Indians were encoun-

they could. There has probably been loss o
