sip of the Day-The Operators
Held a Conference Last Night.
Prospects Of an Agreement.

CLEVELAND, O., Nav 15.-Wben the
conference finally assembled. late in
the afternoon, it took but short time
to precipitate the fight that was brew

committee aroused stormy discussion
at once. They favored the seating of
all the miaers and the operators from
Ohio, Indiana and West Virginia, and
all those from Pennsylvania, who had
expressed a willingness to abide by the
decision OF the conference. The re-
port, however, was against the seating
of the Pittsburg operators who had de-
clared that they coulu not abide by the
DECISION OF THE MAJORITY.
A. Fl. Dempster led the fight in favor
of giving the kickers seats, He said
the call for the conference had been
sent to all operators and miners, and
they were entitled to seats under the
call. John Mcbride, President, aDd
Vice President Penna, OF the Miners
Union, made the principal speeches
against the seating OF these operators.
The Indiana operators were admit ted
on the understanding that they would
abide by the decision of the conference

for Central aud Southern Illinois.
The conference was composed, after the
adoption OF the report of the commit
tee on credentials, Of 1875 miners and 144
operators. Eighty-two Of the operators
are from Ohio, So from Pennsylvania,
and seven from Indiana as committee
for all the operators in that State, and

SAN Francisco, CAL, May 15.--The

fury OF these numbering bands IS now

taken the life of some member OF the

have done the killing. In this way

into her head by an assassin whom tue

Special 7sleorGm 10 the Rs0'f;s-.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May IA good
deal OF discouragng talk about fresh
obstacles in the way Of the tariff bill
was to be heard about the Senate to-
day.
This was based ostensiby on the
belligerent spirit shown by a majority
of the Republicans who attended the
caucus at Senator Sherman's house last
night.
1t was not expected, it was said, that
the Republicans would show such a
general determination to fight and fill
buster against the passage of the bill, in
view of the fact that the Democrats were
practically united in its support, on the
basis of the agreement reached among
them when the new amendments were
settled on couple of weeks ago, there
fore the nasty spirit developed at the
Republican Senatorial caucus was dis
appointing and discouraging to the
Democrats who fo"esaw that the most
extreme measures would have 10 be re-
sorted TO in order to get vote on the
bill.
Democrats were also said to have be-
come doubtful of their ability
TO HOLD ALL THEIR FORCES,
if IT became necessary, for instance, to
resort to Cloture.
Senator Camden when asked by
the REGISTER correspondent how
he viewed the situation in the
light of the latest develop
ments, said he did not find any essen
tial change in it. Things were moving
on as before. Some progress was max
ing In the debate and before long means
would be found to accelerate the rate OF
progress. He saw no reason to doubt
That when the Republicans had been
allowed fair time for debate, say up to
the middle of June, all the Democrats
would stand solidly together in insist
ing that a vote on the bill should be
taken. He was convinced the Demo-
cratic ranks would be found unbroken
when the final struggle came and that
thev would find and enforce means TO
compel the Republicans TO allow a vote.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 15.-The
comment usual at this season is heard
about the condition of the apprOpria-
tion bills, and the suggestion has been
made in some quarters that these bills
are not further advanced than in for
mer long sessions Of Congress. An ex-
animation OF the records does not fully
sustain the criticism. The average OF
the last eight years has been almost if
not quite maintained. There is still an
