THE TARIFF SITUATION.

Our telegraphic reports inform US
that from talks with Senators the indi
cations are thst the Pre-; ident's letter to
Mr.. Wilson will precipitate an animated
discussion on the DOR of the Senate to-
day. There will be no limit,it is said to
the debate and before the consideration
OF the conference report as an incidental
and the latter as the main subject is
over some very plain language will be
used by some Of the Senators, who have
been designated as the conservatives"
1t Ia also said that three Of the Sena.
tors will make their replies when Mr..
Voorhees, calls up the report to day i'm.
mediately after the reading of the jour.
nal. These three are Senators Smith,
German and Brice. Hill will also
speak
Smith, if the rumors about him be
true, will make a speech. in which he
will warn the conferees that they have
violated the faith placed in them when
they receded from the Senate amend
nents and agreed, as has been reported,
that they would accept the House SEIZED
ules on WOO, cottons, etc. He will out
line the situation as he sees IL and will.
it is said in his conclusion, tell the
Senate, the President, the country and
the House OF Representatives that they
can accept the Senate bill or no bill at
all so far as his vote is concerned.
German, who was in close conference
with Jones and Murphy all the after
noon, went homo as soon as the Senate
adjourned. 1t Is said that he will ech
the sentiments that Smith will utter
and will warn the House that if it per-
sists in the course adopted by it to day
it will end in defeating bill which is
for the best interests OF the whole
country and which was the product OF
very serious attansion on the part Of
the SENATE and formulated as the only
bill tnaJ could hope to meet with sue
cess.
German, If the statements of his
friends mean anything, is more firmly
grounded in his original plan than ever.
Brlce viii have few words to say
ABOUT the Senate bill III which he will
join his colleagues in letting tho coun
try know that it is the Senate bill and
not the House oil that is to ultimately
beaome the law OF the land
Under such circumstances it is diff
cult to predict just what the outcome OF
the bill will be. The Senate has all
along taken the position OF dictator and
in the event hist the House refuses as
firmly to be dictated to, it may be pos
sible that the tariff bill will not obtain
passage at this time AS we have
maintained all along that the Senate
bill is better thnn no bill at all, we sin
oerely nope, for the interests of the
country, that Congress will soc it in
this light and pass the bill at once.

CHICAGO GAMBLERS ROASTED.

Tho Grand Jury's Report Charges Open
Violat.ons of Law.
CHICAGO, July 30.-The grand jury to-
day filed report, saying:
"We find that gambling is being car
ried on to its fullest extent in Chi
cago, with the doors wide open, and
cappers and stool-pigeons plying their
vocation to catch the unwary, for the
purpose of fleeing any victim who hap
pens to fall into their hands, and that
the heads of the police department of
this city are giving some Of the places
mentioned below ample protection from
arrest and prosecution" aszssT
A list of places ct which it is alleged
that gambling is boing carried on ia ap.
pended.
The jury gives ss reason for not re.
turning indictments against the proprie.
tors of these places that the assistant
states attorney informed them it would
be impossible to secure convictions.
The assistant states attorney denies
having made this statement, and says
he merely told the jury that it was diff
cult to get testimony which would result
in convictions.

CHICAGO EXCITED.
REPORTS OF RUINED CROPS STIR
THE CORN PIT.
A Tbrss-Ccnt Advance Noted-Lsrxs
Receipts of Live steok-A
Field Day Expected
Tomorrow.

CHICAGO, July 30.-There was plenty
of excitement in the corn pit today.
Reports OF ruined crops came in thick
and fast and the price jumped rapidly.
There was an advance OF nearly three
cents, and the markets closed at the top
figures of the day. The excitement
started with the posting OF statement
showing the receipts of live -btock in
Chicago to be $4,000 head. the largest
one.day receipts ever known. 1t brought
traders to the realization of the drought
| in the corn belt and its consequences
such aB they had not previously con-
ceived. The magnitude OF the receipts
showed that western stock growers had
become alarmed over the long drought,
and fearing that they would be unable
to secure iced at paying prices, had re-
solved to sell out at once. While the
brokers have taken cognizanCe OF the
drought, they had not heretofore had it
SO strongly impressed upon their mindg.
The showing that 10000 bogs, 10000
cattle and 10000 sheep had been shipped
to Chicago in "a hours came with almost
the suddenness and force of O Knockout
blow.
During all last week corn Was on the
jump. The signal service reports of
showers in various localities caused
prices to drop 2 cents, but when it WAS
reasoned that the rain had benefited
only limited territory, prices advanced.
Saturday night prices closed pretty well
advanced, with the exception of the
market being influenced by the weather
on Monday.
When the traders came down to busi-
ness today they consulted the weather
map and press dispatches and saw that
in sections of Illinoia, Missouri and
Kansas showers had fallen, but there
had not been sufficient to break the
drought in the big corn belt which ex-
tends from Ohio to the Rocky noun
tains. Then came the announcement
regarding live stock receipts and it be-
gan to be realized that rs per cent of the
best portion of the corn belt was still
affected by the drought.
The surplus corn states-1owa, Illi-
nois, Missouri, Kansas and Indiana.
which last year raised a billion bushels
out of 1,600.000,00 constituting the
entire crop, and shipped much of it be-
cause they were unable to use it. had
not been materially affected. 1t did not
take them long to figure out with con-
siderable unanimity, that the western
packers, who had been heavy buyers OF
corn during the closing days OF last
week, knew about the exact situation,
and that the indications for eerious
effect of the drouth had been seen in
the west before they were seen here.
All these things influenced the market
and alarm became general. One thing
that averted panic was the pulling
against each other of wheat and corn.
Every indication was favorable to forc-
ing wheat down and corn up. The ex-
element continued unabated until the
close. with the outlook for field day to.

TrcuMsEH, Neb., July 30.-As the re-
suit of bloody shooting af'rsy, which
took place just over the line in Pawnee
county and fourteen miles south of this
city today, two men are dead and two
seriously wounded. Charles Schults, q
rich German farmer, with his two sons,
Charles and Frank, live neigh hboring
James Abbott, g well-to-do and respected
farmer. The farmers had lately good
deal of trouble on account OF Abbott al
lowing his hogs to run at large and tres
pass the fielda of Schulte. Forbearance
ceased to be virtue, end the elder
Scbults, with his son Charles, loaded a
double-barreled shotgun and started on
the warpath for Abbott's house. Abbott
caught on the maneuvsrs. AS the men
came toward his hog lot, he advanced to
protect his property. Young Sehults
was carrying the gun at the time
and at the sight of his erring neighbor
the old man told his son to give him the
load. whereupon young Schults emptied
both Darrsls OF the gun at Abbott,
three ehos entering his left side
and hip. Abbott was brought to
this city in dying condition and Sheriff
Sloane informed of the condition OF af-
fairs. Sheriff Sloane, accompanied by
half dozen deputies, Immediately de-
parted to arrest the Schults men. He
wired Sheriff W. H. Woolsey OF this
county to bring deputy and come
down. Woolssy and hie deputy reached
the Schults homo fully half an hour be-
fore Sloane did. Woolsey endeayored to
get Schults and sons to accompany him
either to Tecumseh or Pawnee city, but
the elder Schults refused to go. Wool
sey was powerless. as he had no papers.
Old man Schults produced gun and
ordered Woolsey and his deputies off
the farm, but Woolsey talked him out
OF committing any rash act. Woolsey
and his deputy started for Pawnee city
to meet Sheriff Sloane. Upon
meeting Sloane they returned to the
scene. Sloane had sent men to the farm
from every direction, so that the men
could not escape. In the meantime,
Schults with his son had started in a
buggy west from the farm, hoping to
escape, but at the corner they met three
OF the deputies. They turned south be.
fore the deputies, and lively chase for
nearly mile followed. Finally as the
deputies were being outrun, they ordered
the fugtives to halt. They refused and
the deputies fred at them. The old
man was Hbot through the back and
head. Charles was shot in the shoul-
der, but escaped to the woods. Frank
was captured and brought to this city.
The elder Schults was moved to Stein
aur, where he died at IL o'clock.
Abbott lies in q critical condition at
the jail here. A big posse of men are
securing the country in esarch OF Charles.

HIS GRACE, the Duke OF Westminster,
is the richest man in England, although
his income is not as large as that of O..
North or Hugh McCslmont. He is just
now airing his grievances against the
new legacy bill that has been introduced
in the house OF commons. to which he
most strenuously objects. If it becomes
law his heirs will have to pay the gov
eminent $7,500,000, which will leave
them only sS2,500.000 among nine of
them, or q little over $9,000.000 each.

THOSE impecunious young men who
do not feel like paying their hotel bills
at Catalina and elsewhere, will now
have an excellent excuse for their
"welching," in the fact that the mail
car OF an Atchison and Santa Fe train
was burned to flinders the other day ct
small station near La Junts, on which
occasion four tons of newspapers and
about 25 pounds of letters were
destroyed. 1t does eeem as if the mail
clerk of the train could have saved the
letters had he tried very hard. But,
speaking about the trials Of impecuni-
GUS young men with board bills, re-.

JUST how that newly.orgsnizsd car

going to help the Pullman workingmen,
we are at loss to see. They can make
the cars, OF course, but 30 long as Pull
man has half Of the railroad companies
tied up with ironclad contracts to run
his sleeping cars, and his only, what
good will it do to build new sleepers at
Chicago? We do not hslinvo .ke ma
jority OF railroad officials like Pullman
any better than they do anybody else,
but he has got them hobbled, hand and
foot, with contracts they cannot afford to
break and hence they will have to run
his cars whether they so desire or not.
The movable chair sleeperH. shown at
the Chicago fair, were vastly superior to
anything Pullman ever turned out.

Serious Railroad Accident.

CINCINNATI, July 30.-Shortly before
p. m. the st. Louis express on the
OHIO and Mississippi railway. due at
$50, ran into freight on the siding at
Cochran, Ind, % miles from this city,
wrecking the passenger engine and q
dozen freight cars. The freight had
taken the siding, expecting to follow the
express. Some one had evidently
opened the switch after the freight had
run in as the trainmen state they left it
closed. There were no trainmen in the
caboose and none OF the freight crew
were hurt, but the rear part of their
train was wrecked as well ac the engine
of the passenger train. John Little of
Washington, Ind, engineer of the pas
aenger train, was so badly injured that
he died an hour afterward. Daniel
Cadden, fireman, of Washington, Ind.
was caught in the wreck and lost leg.

SAN Francisco, July S0.- Custom
house inspectors seized rs cans OF opium
on the coasting steamer City OF Puebla
last night. No arrests were made. The
emugglers ars known to the authorities,
however, and it is expected that the
ring of which they are part will be
broken up as a result of the seizure.
The steamer, which runs between San
Francisco and Puget Sound ports, has
trouble in the past. Between 800 and
AGO tins of opium have been taken from
her at different timeB. In one case,
Weir, the second assistant engineer.
having been reported to Goodall, Per-
kins & Co., for alleged completely in an
opium transaction, WAS dismissed from
the service. The opium was found at
his residence. The chief engineer was
removed to another steamer at the same
time.
The Puebla is an old Havana liner and
is said to have been an important factor
in the smuggling of cigars to New York
in former days. She has many hidden
nooks and corners, these being fea-
ture OF her original construction; conse-
quently she is difficult chip to search,
and the ring which is said to be on
board has succeeded IN evading the
government inspectors in the past.
When the chip came in yesterday In
spectors Shepstone and Hynes made q
thorough search OF her, and the opium
was found behind an iron plate sup
posed to support heater in the boiler
room, but which was fastened to the
wall by one bolt. FIVE others OF like ap-
pearance being false.
