WASHINGTON, July io.-Thc proceed.
ings Of the full tariff conference yes
terday were both brief and formal,
consisting merely Of u statement by
Senator Voorhees, to the effect that
the Democratic members Of the con
ference had found themselves. after
another effort. unable To find common
ground to stand upon and had
decided to recommend re-
port for general Disagreement
upon the bill as whole. There was
no discussion. The house Democratic
members Indicated. though not by a
formal vote, that they should elect to
stand by the house bill. while the
senators, Democratic and Republican,
voted not to recede from the senate
amendments.
Chairman Wilson met Speaker Crisp
and members of the house committee
on rules Ms soon rs the confcrrecs adj
journed. When the conference closed
Mr.. Wilson said he would not report
the disagreement until to-day. AS u
result Of the confer nee between Mr..
Wilson and the speaker. the commit
tee on rules is considering the desira-
bility of u special rule to operate
when the tariff disagreement is re-
ported.
One of the house confcrrces ex-
planned the plan OF procc lure rs out
lined ut "a meeting Of Democratic con-
ferrecs held early in the day rs fol-
lows:
1.-THE report will be disagreement
In toto. II will be very brief and will
not go into detail as To what ques-
tions the senate and house might have
come together on. The report is ex-
pected to be the first business taken
up by the house when ii assemblies
to-day at noon. This, of course.
cannot be made certain until the Re-
publican conferrecs give their assent.
II is in their power to cause delay,
but such action is not anticipated"
Beyond the point Of making the
brief report of disagreement the
conferrees profess, not to know what
the house or senate will 90. One OF
the house conferrees sad that the
three items of sugar. iron ore and
coal were the points that had forced
the total disagreement. Woolens,
cottons, lea | ore an some other
things had been open to difference,
yet 1t was hopei that these could
have been reconciled, said the con-
ferree. IL sugar. coal anl iron had not
stood in the way.

The fond creek -I,ock Island War
Growing Hourly Worse.
GUTHRIE. Ok. July 20. The war
between the people Of Enid and
Round Pond and the Rock Island
railway grows worse hourly. At an
carly hour yesterday morning another
bridge was blown up putting stop
to all travel on the road. Later a
long section OF track was torn up
south of Round Pond and Mt noon q
bridge was fred, but was partly saved
by the soldiers and guards All SEC
ton men living in that vicinity have
been warned to stop helping the rail-
way under penalty Of death to them
selves and the destruction OF their
homes by fire. Several OF the Rock
Island guards were assaulted by the
mob and badly injured. At Round
Pond. County Attorney Asher was
driven out OF town By an armed mob
and the intervention of few con-
servative citizens alone saved h life.
The work of destruction is being
carried on by secret organization
composed OF men who will stop at
nothing. and it is stated upon good
authority that they have been paid
81. 900 to carry on the guerrilla
warfare, and, II necessary burn
every bridge in the Cherokee
strip. tear up III, track and
wreck trains until the railway
company recognizes the two towns.
A veritable reign OF terror exists in
the two counties. AMI no man knows
what will happen next. The troop'
and deputies are wholly unable to
cope with the mob. who care nothing
for them. One man yesterday openly
threw n dynamite bomb under train
CARRYING soldiers. The railway com
pany and the better citizens are tcle-
graphing for more troops, but 1t seems
to be impossible to make the authori-
ties ut Washington understand the
gravity Of ths situation.

THE FIRST IRISH POTATOES.
Sir Walter Raleigh Planted Them Near
Cork, but the People Feared Them.


Sir Walter Raleigh was an unprin-
cipled adventurer and failed as an ad-
ministrator and colonizer, but he had
n most commendable taste for planting
and gardening, and in these branches
of effort his influence remains potent.
Three hundred years have passed since
he lived in Ireland, In the county of
Cork, on the vast estate which had been
bestowed upon him, but the yellow wall
flowers which he brought TO Ireland
from the Azores still flourish and bloom
in the very spot where he planted them.
Near by, at Youghal, near Cork, on
the shores of the Blackwater estuary,
stands the Affane cherry which he
planted. Some cedars which he brought
to Cork are still growing at place
called Tivoli. Four yew trees, whose
branches have grown and interlaced
into sort of summer house, are point
ed out as having sheltered Raleigh when
he first smoked tobacco in his garden at
Youghal.
Raleigh tried to make tobacco grow
in Great Britain, but the climate was
not found suitable to it. He succeeded,
however, by introducing the habit of
smoking it, in making it grow in plenty
in other places.
More important to the world than the
spot where Raleigh sat and smoked his
Indian weed is another spot in his gar
den at Myrtle Grove, in this same
Youghal. This spot is still bounded by
the town wall of the thirteenth century.
1t was here that Raleigh first planted n
curious tuber brought from America,
which throve vastly better than his to-
bacco plants did.
This tuber Raleigh insisted was good
to eat, though common report for long
time pronounced it poisonous. Some
roots from his vines he gave to other
land owners in Munster. They culti-
waited them and spread them abroad
from year to year.
This plant was the Irish potato. Be-
fore many generations it became the
staple food of the Irish people-almost
the only food of great many of them.
1t was the Irish potato" which
came back to America and became the
groundwork, so to speak, of the Amer
ican farmers and workingman' daily
breakfast and dinner. Sir Walters
curious experiment in acclimatization
became an economic step of the very
first consequence, and the spot at You
ghal which was its scene deserves mark
ing with monument much more than
do the places where the blood Of men
has been shed in battle. Youths Com
panion.

The Chinese Hunchback,

am reminded of a picture pur-
chased some time ago. bought it be-
cause thought it was the ugliest pic
ture l had ever seen. tried to find out
tho history or meaning of the thing for
some time without any success until a
few days ago, while studying Taoism, l
found the ugly man was one of the
Taoist gods. In his early days his spirit
had the power of leaving his body and
roaming over the universe alone. When
off on one of these trips, wolves came
and ate his body. So when his spirit re-
turned 1t found only few bones. After
hunting around for awhile the spirit
found the body of dead hunchback
beggar who walked with an iron cane
in his lifetime. The spirit crawled in
this body and has lived in it ever since.
Tih Kwalei, for that is the gods name,
carries gourd on his back, which, if
the breath were blown out of it in the
heavens, would bring back his original
body. According to last accounts, the
breath has not flown out of the gourd.-
