THE SUPPLEMENTAL BILLS.

Democratic Leaders in the Senate Discuss
ing Course Regarding Them.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 15--The Demo-
cratic leaders Of the senate have occu-
pied considerable portion of the day
i'll trying to determine what course to
pursue with reference to. the supple
mental tariff bill. The Democratic
steering committee was in session for
two hours after the senate adjourned,
trying to determine upon the most adj
visable policy under the circumstances
and previous to the meeting the con-
sentative senators had conference on
the same subject.
1t is understood that the conservatives
advocate the reference Of the bills to the
finance committee while the steering
committee is apparently somewhat di-
vided on the question. Appearances all
Indicate, however, that a large majority
of the Democratic senators would like
to have the bills pass if they could feel
assured that their passage would not re-
duce the governmental revenues to too
great an extent. The interest in these
bills, as in the main tariff bill, is in the
sugar question and it is to the free sugar
bill that they are giving their principal
attention.

Passage of the Tariff Bill Has Good Effect
at Pittsburg.
P1TTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 15.-The pass
age Of the tariff bill has already made
itself felt in this district by marked
revival il business. Stocks in all lines
of manufacture had been reduced to a
minimum, especially in iron, steel and
glass. During the day several large
orders were received by many manufac-
turers and many more are expected. In
some lines of business; the demand be-
gan as soon as the passage of the tariff
bill was assured, and the telegraph
wires were kept busy all night.
1t is asserted that a slight reduction
in wages will be necessary in the case
of glass workers, tin plate men and
workmen in some branches of iron and
steel trade, but this has been conceded,
the sales generally allowing for reduc-
lions to fit tariff reduction The dispute
will be over the size of the cuts.

Lamar. saunderson, aged 10, traded

been struck John Sanderson, aged 80,
father OF Lamar, interfered, it is said,
to separate the combatants, but Dick
son, supposing the two Sandersons were
attacking him, shot, killing the elder
Sanderson almost Instantly. Young
Sanderson then pulled his gun and fired
on Dickson, the latter returning the
fire, and both fell. Young Sanderson
was shot through the abdomen, while
Dickson was shot through both lungs.

STOCKS TAKE A JUMP,

The Liveliest Opening on the New York
Exchange For Many Day.
NEW YORK, Aug. 15.-Operators at

opening they have had for long time.
The dealings were very heavy, blocks of
thousands of shares changing hands
rapidly, amid much excitement. The
fluctuations were in keeping with the
Increased activity, and prices moved up,
and down so smartly that brokers had
difficulty in executing orders given ''at
a limit
All this was the direct result of the
passage of the tariff bill by the house.
The fact that this disturbing influence
is about to be removed is hailed with
greater satisfaction than any event that
has transpired in the financial and COM
mercial worlds since the repeal of the
silver coinage act, and Wall street is
looking forward with hope and conf
dence.
The foreigners have already taken
hold and their purchases are largely at
tributable to the weakness of sterling
and the cessation of gold exports.
Brakers say they are receiving orders
from customers whom they have not
seen since the panic Of last summer, and
business on the Consolidated as well as
on the Stock exchange was exceedingly
lively.
