AWAITING THE MORROW
Visit of Speaker Crisp-Evidence of an Early Settlement.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The decision of the senate to go into executive session to- day pending the consideration of the Hill resolution and the early subsequent ad- journment was due to the general belief on the democratic side of the senate that the house democratic caucus, called for ,Mon- day, would result in the acceptance by the house of the senate bill, and without change of any kind. This belief was strengthened by a personal visit made to the senate wing by Speaker Crisp just prior to the making of the motion for an executive session. He was closeted in the room o the senate committee on apprOpri- ations with few democratic leaders of the senate, and it was immediately after this conference that Senator Cockerill entered his executive session notion.
 When the senate adjourned the demo- cratic senators were, as rule, in far better spirits than they have been for weeks, and the conservative senators and the demo- cratic members of the finance committee were in an especially amiable frame of mind. The transformation was due to the fact that they had passed serious crisis, and this feeling was evidently based upon the assurance received from the house that the senate bill would be received from the house, and that the senate bill would be accepted by that body without change.
 They did not consider that all the dan gers were passed, but stated freely that the best assuranc which it was possible to secure of future event depending upon so many men as there are on the democratic side of the house had been received, and they were very hopeful that the bill would receive the indorssment of the house early next week.
 This being the case they concluded that further debate would be useless and might complicate ters, and that, therefore, the wisest course was to put a stop to it. Immediately after adjournment the demo- cratic steering committee went into session in Senator Cockerill's room.
 The president and his advisers also have been in frequent consultation over the situation. The president and Secretaries Gresham and Carlisle held a conference, and the secretaries also consulted with Inter-S State Commerce Commissioner Will liam R. Morrison and Senator Mills (both of whom have been authors of tariff bilIs) on the best policy to be pursued.

CHARGED WITH CONSPIRACY.

DETRoIT's MAYOR HAS TROUBLE WITH THE
 FIRE COMMITTEE.
 DETROIT, Mich, Aug. n.-Mayor Pin gree this afternoon swore out warrant against Bruce Goodiellow, president of the fire department committee, Secretary Tyron of the committee, and Assistant Fire Chief Elliott, charging them with conspiracy and assault, and they have been arrested.
 The trouble arose over an order which the mayor gave local reporter to examine the books oi the fire committee. The re- porter was refused access to the books by Secretary Tyron last evening, and the mayor went In person with the reporter to the office of the fire department committee and demanded to see the books. The off ce was closed and President Goodfellow re- fused to reopen it.
 An altercation ensued when Goodfellow called on Elliott to throw the reporter from the building. Mayor Pingree interposed and several firemen were called up from be- low. While two or three of them held Mayor Pingree, the rest ejected the re- porter.
 The city lawyers advised the mayor that he had a right to examine the books at any time and that the obstructing commis- sioner and employees could be charged with conspiracy, hence the warrant.

DEMoPoLIs, Aug. 11.-[Special. ]-One of the most disastrous fires that has ever visited our town is raging here now.
 The magnificent double storehouse of John c. Webb, the very pride of the town |, is entirely destroyed. At present it looks as though the fire walls Of this building may keep the fire within them. The build ings were occupied by several firms, and at this time the loss cannot be estimated.
 Among the losers were M. Ely, whole sale and retail grocer, entire stock lost; in- sured. First National bank, loss not known. Taylor and Fillmore, lawyers, loss $500; no insurance.
 The upper story was filled with offices, where were also the Young Mems Chris tian association rooms, all Of which are completely lost.
 The building cost $l6 ,000 and the insur- ance is $10 ,0C0. If it had not been for the fire department walls holding tho whole of the business portion of the town would have gone.

TWENTY TWO. IT. ats the Way Jefferson Fin ally
 Pans Out, AND ITS FOR GOV. OATES Official Count in All the Coun- e ties-Will Bowman Run for Congress?
AND ITS FOR GOV. OATES

Yesterday at all the court houses the re- turning boards m de the official canvass of the votes.
 So far as known no material changes were developed, and the result stands as already published in the AeE- HERALD. 5In Jefferson county one box came up in such shape that the officials couldn't make heads or tails of it, and it was thrown out That box was Aarons, down in the Blue Creek region. It gave Koib thirty one majority, and fit had been in such shape that it could be counted Captain Kolb would have had the county by nine ms jority. Throwing it out gave the county to Oates by twenty two majority.
 Nothing is affected by it, however, one way or the other.

upon the democracy of Jefferson county aRd the Ninth congressional district by the arbitrary and inexcusable action of the ex- ecutive committee rises high above and goes far beyond the personal rights of any individual candidate. It involves the living and sacred principle of democracy and the imperiled rights of a great county to equal representation in the counciis of the party, and it is the part of every true democrat to rise above the slime and filth of fratricidal partisan politics to the high plane of patriotic party duty and see that right and justice are not laid hold of and desecrated with violent and impious hands. The democrats of Jefferson county would not deprive their brethren in any county of this state or district of any right to which they are justly or equitable entitled. Is comedies them every thing fair dealing will give them. and will help them to maintain those rights. But while this is true the democracy of this county, baptized and strengthened by the fire and blood of many hard fought battles, not one of which it has ever lost, and many glorious victories won, knows it's rights and dares maintain them to the last extremity.

OF MIR. HARVEY PEARSON, AN OLD CITIZEN
 OF SPRINGVILLE.
 SPRINGvILLE, Aug. 11.-[Speciall The usual quiet Of our town was disturbed yes- terday evening by the reported sudden death of MT. Harvey Pearson, one of our oldest citizens, under unusual circum- stances.
 MT. Pearson, aged about 60 years, left his home Thursday, as he was frequently in the habit of doing, to visit his farm or rela- lives about a mile from town. He usually spent the night, and, failing to return home on Friday at or about his accustomed time, the family became alarmed.
 Search was made at once, and soon his body was found cold Tn death in one of his fields about mile from his residence. He had about ten years ago been paralyzed in one side, from which he had never re- covered. There being no marks of violencs upon his person, it is believed that death was caused by another paralytic stroke. He was very worthy, upright, Christian citizen. The burial occurred in Springville cemetery today at p.,m.

From the above figures 1t will be seen that Jefferson county has population only dO14 less than all the other counties of the district combined, and by the arbitrary and undemocratic action of the executive committee is allowed only 20 delegates, while on the basis of population it is justly entitled to 30. In other words the commit tee arbitrarily and despoticalIy attempts to deprive the county of one-third of it's strength, and strike from it one-third of it's rights.
 'sThis,'' says the AGE HERALD, "is machine politics of the most aggravated form, and full of danger to the best inter- est of the party.'
 An investigation of the facts will con- vince any fair man, however intense par- tisan he may be, that that opinion is well founded and mildly expressed, aud that the action of the committee merits the severest condemnation for its partisan machine methods and violent assault upon the in- tegrity of the party.

A very striking proof of the cxtrcme elasticity of stccl Is exhibited in some Cx- pcriments made at the Sellers works and described in The American Machinist- Three cylindrical steel posts lh inches in diameter and 10 feet long Vscrc placed in n vertical position upon n stccl disk, the thrc pests arranged in tho form of a triangle. On top Of thcse was placed another steel disk, and arrangements were made by which pound weight could bc carefully placed upon or removed from the upper disk. An electrical contact was ar- ranged in such a manner that any diminu- tiun of length of the columns would cause n bcll to ring. and it was found that this pound weight Was sufficient Ia make and break tho contact, the ball continuing. to ring sO long as thc weight Was in place and stopping whenever it was rrInuvCd- By experiments made upon sp,Cimcns of the sHniv bar uf st,,,l and by calculation 1t was determined that the stCCi lSlTS wCrc comprC~scd about l-lI, OCO, OOO of an inch, which, though but n small amount, showed that even the highest strain cannot bc i'm posed upon such materials without n cor responding yielding. which yielding may or may not bc disrcgarJied EccorSling to circumstances, and to this fact that metals always yield under strain is undoubtedly duo much of tho wearing to a bcaring'' that Is often considered necessary in new machinery.
