SUNDAY TARIFF CONFAB.
The Conferrees Predict a Settlement

The Conferrees Predict Settlement
Bef,re Wednesday,.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 5-The usual
Sunday quiet of the capitol building
was broken today by the assembling of
the democratic tariff conferrees at 2
o'clock. All of the democratic con-
feriees were present except Senator
VOORHEES,, who is sick, and Chairman
Wilson, who has gone to West Nir-
ginia to see his sick wife. The meeting
lasted till o'clock and was marked
with even more than usual secrecy.
Some of the conferrees declined TO
admit that they were together. 9th
ers were more communicative, explain
jug that the gathering today was due
to a desire to expedite settlement at
the earliest moment pcssble. The
meeting resulted in an unders. landing
that the report should be made one
way or the other-agreenent Or other
wise-within the next y hours. That
it would be an agreement was not,
however, definitely settled. On this
point the conierrets say they have not
yet fully passed the danger po.nt, al
though they seemed more confident to-
night that there would be an agree
lnent. The discussion turned on sugar,
iron ore and coal.
The house conlerrees are proceeding
without reference to the strong opposi-
ton to the new sugar schedule by
louisiana senators. This opposition
may be overcome, however, by per-
mit,ing the present bounty, or por-
ton of it, TO run until January l, next.
By postponing the time at which the
bounty provisions Of the Mckinley
law shall be repealed until January H.
it would operate Oh the crop about to
be gathered. The Louisiana senators
said they would lie willing 10 accept
half OF the bounty for the present year
in addition to tile duty on the new
compromise schedule. Some attention
has also been given to the income tax
and while tinal agreement has no
yet been reached, it is practically con
ceded that the senate limit of five year:

WASHINGTON. Aug. 5.-There are

ent month, no material increase
in revenue could reasonably lie
expected earlier than December, for
the reason that tie tariff will have
been passed too late in the season 10
realize any considerable amount from
fall importations. Treasury figures
show that there is now in this country
at least six mouths supply of sugar, so
little may be expected from that sonrce.
This is true also of whisky. Statistics
of the Internal revenue bureau show
that the tax has already been paid on
over Is, 900. 900 gallons of whisky in ex-
cess of the amount upon which the tax
had been paid one year ago. There
fore little relief MAJ be expected from
this source before December. TIE only
recourse therefore, it is contended, will
lie to bond issue and there are many
we'll informed persons who b'lieve if
this congress does not pass prohibi-
tive resolution before adjournment,
$50, ,0O0, 900 or more will soon be issued.
That there would be no difficulty in
placing any reasonable amount even at

apparent from the fact that February

outset the Britannia held windward
position. The Nigilant tried to pass
her, but she lutied up and held the Wig
liant back. For time both made little
progress and the Satanita rapidly
forged ahead. The spectators con-
cluded that as the weather was not
favorable to the Britannia the two

herself to harassing the Nigilant while

A Wild Scramble at tho Chicago
Grounds Yesterday.
CHICAGO, ILL.,, Aug. 5.-At the be-
ginning of the seventh inning fire WAS
discovered beneath the seats Of the
north stand in the baseball grounds.
In the wild scramble several arms
were broken and number of people
slightly burned and cut by barbed wire.
The fire is supposed TO have been
started by boy throwing a cigarette.
Not less than 10000 peop,e crowded
into the grounds to witness the game.
The game had advanced in the seventh
in the bleachers and thin crease OF
smoke was seen pouring from the
cracks. The cry was taken up on all
sides and in a Sort time terrible
panic ensued.
All four exits leading from the grand
stand were jammed with men, boys
and sprinkling of women. The exits
were not large enough to permit the
throng TO 90 through and when the
crowd saw it many of the spectators
tried to jump over the barbed wire
fence into the ball grounds. The first
reaching the fence scaled it successfully y
but those who followed, in their
anxiety to get to safe quarters, tried to
crawl through and in nearly every in
stance were wedged between the wire,
and their clothing torn to shreds and
their hands and legs laceraed by the
sharp balb'.

ored to reach the ball ground by going

Both Houses Wai.ing for the Tariff
Conference Report.
WASHINGTON, d. c., Aug. 5.-With
he tariff disposed OF, the senate could
probably adjourn in three or four days.
The last of the general appropriation
bills passed the house. and majority
of them have been signed by the presi-
dent. Some of these bills are in con-
ference still. tut if an agreement on
them would bring adjournment, that
would not be long delayed, az there are
no irreconciIable differences between
the two houses on appropriations.
There is no measure other than the
tariff bill and appropriation bills which
will be strong enough to hold the SEM
ate together for even u day. The
probabilities for the week include the
tariff conference committee report, the
subsequent debate and also the pre-
sentatlon Of conference reports on the
sundfy civil. river and harbor, Indian
and general deficiency appropriation
bills and consideration of the calendar,
when these more important matters DO
not occupy position TO receive atten
lion. The immigration bill comes up

the tariff may excite considerable de-
bate. Republican senators are of a dis
position to press the question of further
limitation of immigration, but SO far
the democrats in the senate have not
shown a disposition to accept the chaI-
lenee, and they may choose to permit
the republicans to monopolize the dis
cussion Of the subject.
In the House.
The house will proceed this week, as
last week. with fixed program. The
house is simply awaiting the final re-
port on the tariff bill. Ali the routine
business has been transacted an | it is
simply waiting. Tomorrow, however,
will be devoted to settling the Williams
contested election case from North
Carolina. The remaining days are to
be assigned to routine business of the
committees, subject always to the con-
ference report. If the couferrees on the
tariff reach an agreement this week
their part will be first considered in the
senate and after beiug disposed of there
will come to the house. If the report
is not made before Wednesday there is
no probability that it will get to the

ABUSE OF THE RETIRED LIST.
Cleveland Netoes an Army Bill Recently
Passed.


Passed.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 7.-President
Cleveland gave to congress a clear
statement of his views on the special
legislation of retirement of army officers
in a veto today of the bill for the re-
lief of Eugene Wells, late captain OF
the Twelfth infantry. The bill au-
tho1ized the president to appoint the
beneficiary a second Lieutenant OF arti!-
lery to be placed on the retired list for
di.; b;lity without the usual examine
ton by retiring board. The presl-
dent writes:
"Appointments to the army under
/ the authority Of The present Legislation
which named the proposed appointees,
| the nurpose of which is the immediate
| retirement of appointee are open to
serious objections though l confess, |
have been persuaded through SYM
pathy and sentiment on number OF
occasions to approve OF such legislation.
/ When, however, it is proposed to make
| the retirement compulsory and with
! out reference to the age or previous ex-
animation, mt at Objectionable feature
ia Introduced, The cases covered by
this special enactment referred to are
q uallv such as should, if worthy OF
consideration, be provided for under
general or corporation pension laws,
leaving the retired list of the army to
serve the legitimate purpose for which
it was established.
IA recent decision in the house upon
!, bill similar to tie one before me drew
from the memorandum OF the house
committee on military affairs the dec
la;at!on that hundreds of such bills
were before that committee and thai
there we're 80 precedents for the pass pas
age of this particular one under DIS
cnssion. 1t seems to me that this con
% dition suggests such an encroachmen
: upoa the retired list of the army a
would lead to the virtual abandon
ment of the legislation passed upon TO
sound policy aud good administration
There are facts connected with the cas-
: covered by the bill now before III
