Plan of the House Democrats.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-It is the in- tention of the Democratic managers of the house to finish up everything to- day. The committee on rules will present special order to carry out the mandates of the caucus. The intention is to pass tariff bill and then will fol- tow other bills named in the caucus resolution. These bills have all been prepared and though not reported from the ways and means committee, or in regular order, these preliminaries can be dispensed with under special order from the committee on rules.
 Speaker Crisp and Representative Catchings went into session shortly after the house met and messengers were sent in every direction for Repre- sentative Outhwaite, the other Demo cratic members of the rules committee, as his vote would be necessary to carry out the programme. His absence, how ever, at Cresson Springs will postpone q decisive vote on any of the propositions until tomorrow.

conferrees had been willing to concede to almost everything except these vital items sugar, iron and coal that the sen- ate conferrees had also seemed willing to concede to much and held much the same views, but were apparently domi- mated by the knowledge thatif they con- ceded to what they themselves were willing to concede the bill could not pass and an agreement would be useless.
 Mr. Wilson concluded by saying he had now become satisfied it was either the senate bill or no legislation.
 Wilson closed at | :05 o'clock, having talked just an hour. It was understood, however, that Wilson had not yielded the floor permanently, but would re- sume later after his conference assoei- ates, Messrs. Montgomery, McMillin and Turner, had corroborated his state ments as to debates
 Montgomery then took the floor and substandated what Wilson had said as to the details of the conference.
 Speaker Crisp followed Mir. Mont gomery. He spoke with much spirit and earnestness and soon the caucus was in tumult of enthusiasm and round after round of applause greeted his ut- terances. He spoke of the critical COIL dition and apparent need to accept the senate bill and then if need be to intro duee separate bills for free sugar, free iron and free coal The speaker fol- lowed in the line of Wilson, saying it was either the senate bill or no bill. :"
 He closed his remarks by offering a resolution instructing the house con- ferrees to recede from disagreement to senate amendment and to instruct the ways and means committee to bring iii separate free sugar. free iron and free coal bills.
 A burst of applause greeted the read ing of the resolution, but half dozen irate Democrats demanded recognition and Bourke Cochran being recognized delivered vigorous and eloquent speech against the house reeeding, and closed by saying, "better no tariff legislation than senate bill. "
 MT. Cochran declared there was no necessity for the heusesto surrender as yet and he challenged Chairman Will sons statement that four Democratic votes in the senate would be lost to the bill if the fight proceeded. He demanded the names of the senators, but Wilson refused to give them
 Mr. MeMillen followed in vigorous style. He repudiated the statement made by Cochran, that the bill was worse than the Mckinley law.
 Robertson of Louisiana objected to the resolution on account of the free sugar provisions and generally protested against the treatment to Louisiana.
 During D minutes debate Chairman Wilson rose and pleaded with the caucus not to take action at once. He said

 WILLIAM |. WILSON.

Warner and others passed among their associates and stiifened up the senti- nent of loyalty to the conferrees. It was apparently uphill work, however.
 At 10 o'clock Speaker Crisp and all the conferrees filed in and took seats in a body in a forward part on the Demo- cratic side. There was ominous silence as they came in, 153 Democratic mem befs being in the crowd.
 Chairman Holman called the caucus to order promptly and the call for the meeting was read. Rollcall then fol- lowed. Chairman Wilson took the floor immediately after and began a statement of the situation, calmly and dispassionately. The members crowded eagerly about him listening intently to every word. Seldom has such eager ness been manifested at a caucus.
 Wilson began with recital of the difficulties that have been encountered, treating each stage of the situation with much detail He said each step had been pursued with an ardent desire to support with honor the desires of the house and to resist what was regarded as unreasonable demands of the senate. He did not contine himself to general i2ation.
 He took up contested schedules, par. ticularly sugar, coal and iron ore, and reviewed the difference in conference on these main items. He took up each proposition on sugar and spoke of the vast profits to the sugar trust which would result on many of these proposi tions. He would not indulge in sharl criticisms that were expected on the motives of the senate conferrees.
 He spoke of the fight made by tht house conferrees for a specific duty or sugar on the ground that under the ad valorum system it would be impossible to tell, on account of the invoice method what exact advantage which would ac crue to the sugar trust would be made the remarkable statement he had beer credibly informed and believed the sugar trust had, anticipating enactment of tn, senate sugar schedule, purchased SIP 900, 900 worth of raw sugar. If this wa true he said, the profit accIuing to th'

whatever was the mind of the house. there was no necessity for immediate and hurried action.
 As the hour for the meeting of the house approached the impatience of the members became apparent and "Votel" 'Votels sounded from ali sides.
 The resolution to recede was adopted by vote of 130 to 21.
 A division on Crisp's resolution was demanded so as to have a separate vote on the first part to recede from dis agreement to the senate amendment and provision for separate bills.
 The first part of the resolution was adopted by rising vote-13O to 21 and the second part without division and the caucus then adjourned.
 Among those who voted ..against the resolution were the Louisiana members, Warner, Strauss, Tracey, Cochran, Covert and Dunphy Of New York, Kill gore of Texas, Cooper of Indiana and Johnson of Ohio.
 MT. Breckinridge of Arkansas voted against the first clause of the speakers resolution, as did many others who voted for the last section, which is as follows:
 Resolved further, That the house shall at once proceed to the considera- tion of separate bills placing the follow ing articles on the free list, viz: Sugar in all its forms, iron ore, coal and barbed wire. The committee on rules is re- quested to report an order providing for the prompt consideration of such mo ton and bills
 It was adopted by an overwhelming vote. the nays being almost insignif- cant.
 Representative Tucker of Virginia then offered resolution thanking and commenting the house conferrees for their loyal service.
 This was adopted with shout of ap- proyal and the caucus adjourned.
 Immediately after the adjournment of the caucus the house conferrees went into session in the rooms of the commit tee on ways and means. Mir. Breckin- ridge of Arkansas says another meeting with ths senate conferrees will not be

JORDAN-In this city on Tuesday, July II, 1894, at l:30 o'clock D. nI., MABEL. daughter of Dr. and Mrs. A. C. Jordan, aged } yeras.
 Little Mabel was d bright little child who was the pride and joy of her parents and beloved by all who knew her. Her death is sad blow to her fond and loving parents, and Is attended with exceptionally sad cir cumstances.
 If sympathy can assuage the bitter pangs of sorrow, Dr. and Mrs. Jor- dan can find comfort in the fact that in their loss and bereavement they have the deep and sincere sympathy of their many friends. We trust that they will find some mitigation of their great grief, at least, in the words of Christ, who said: Suffer little children to come unto me, and forbid them not, for of such is the Kingdom of Heaven.
 The remains will be shipped on the 40 Valley train this afternoon to Beebe. Ark, for interment.

CONGRESSIONAL CONVENTION
CONFINES IN THIS CITY TOMORROW.
The Second District Congressional Con Yention to Convene in Pine Blum
 she 10th Instant.

The Democratic Congressional Con yention of the Second District of Arkansas convenes in this city in Knox's Hall at ? o'clock D. m. to- morrow to nominate candidate for the Fifty-fourth Congress. The duties of the convention will be merely formal. Judge John $. Lit tie, of Sebastian county, has no op- position for the place, while Maj Breckinridge since his appointment as minister to Russia, has never formally withdrawn from the race, nevertheless his name will not be placed before the convention.
 The only knotty question the convention will have to solve will be in regard to Maj. Breckinridge's successor for the nnexpired term Mai Breckin- ridge will not resign his seat in Con gress until the tariff bill shall have been disposed of, and as yet no va caney has been created Whether the convention tomorrow will make both nominations, GIT autho.ize the Congressional Committee to make the nomination. when the vacancy exists, will be q question for the con ventfon to determine. Judge Little has no opposition for either place, which is eminently proper in view of the brilliant victory he has just achieved throughout the district and the convention could well afford to anticipate Maj. Breckinridge's resig- nation, under the circumstances, and save the time, trouble and expense of another convention or committee meeting by making a nomination for both the long and the short term while in session in Pine Bluff

CHEAP ENGRAVINGS.
4 Discovery by Which Every Newspaper Can Illustrate It's Own Columns.
 We Have It.

Irwin H. Mills, of Carlisle Pa, has discovered | process for making newspaper engravings that eomes within the neaeh of, and can be used by publishers Of country dailies and weeklics, and which engravings are eqHal for all practical purposes to the cuts made by the expensive methods in general use i'll the large offices.
 By Mr. Mills process anyone can go into any printing office, find there all the paraphernalia for doing the work and can quickly produce a cut four by six inches in size ut an out lay of less than cents. The process is 6 purely mechanical one, requiring no special skill and but little pfac- tice to reproduce any photograph or newspaper engraving.
 Tine method is simple, rapid and absolutely perfect; it's points of ad- vantage being it's cheapness, sim plicity. high relief, sharp lines and rapidity. \ newspaper using this system can illustrate the news of the N eek at a cost that is scarcely worth figuring.
 The GRApHie has obtained the for mula of this process from Miss Mae Walker, one of Mr. Mills agents. Mr. Mills, the inventor of the system, is now at Hot Springs.

POPS ON CLARKE
A CLAIM THAT HE IF DISQUALIFIED
 BECAUSE RE WAS IN A DUEL.
Gen. Clark Did Challenge Man to Fight But the Law Does Not Say
 He is Disqualified

It was reported on the streets this morning that the Popufsts were preparing to make charges on Gen. Clarke. Democratic nominee for Gov ernor, that he was disqualified be- cause he had taken part ill d duel some years ago,s the Little Rock Press.
 Gen. Clarke's friends admit that he once challenged r. D. Mccullough to fight a duel, but the meeting never took place on account of the refusal of Mccullough to fight. The law re- quires q conviction in case of this kind to disqualify the participants of a duel. Gen. Clarke was net con yicted. Therefore the Peoples Party's charges win fall flat
 Col. Tom Fletcher aud Mr. J, W. Dollis0n, managers of the r. P's. when seen stated that they were not prepared to be interviewed on the subject. They would neither deny nor confirm the reports that charges would be brought against Gen. Clarke.
 We don care to be interviewed on that subject, said Mr. Dollison. "We will just say this much, we don't intend to make an under- handed fight If we do anything at all it will be as open as buck board. ''

Did Nnt Meet.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.--Sunday was anything but day of rest for the tariff leaders. They were on the go from early in the morning until late last night. It was day of conferences at dences of the conferrees and at the ho- tels. The senate and house eonferrees made no effort to get together, and they remain as wide apart as when their meeting broke up Friday night. The house conferrees were in consultation informally most of the day, although at no time were they all together at one time.

A SNAKE IN HIS TROUSERS.
Thrilling Experience of Woodbridge,
 \. J., Painter.


 \. J., Painter.
 WOODBRIDGE, N. J., Aug. IL David Ayres, painter of this place, had an experience which he will not soon for get. David had the snakes, not the kind brought on by the excessive use of liquor, but he and real snake became tangled up together, and his snakeship was the victor. David had been en- gagged for the past few days painting the large barn of Peter Nelson at Ford's Corner, three miles from here. Before going to work he went into the barn, and taking off his trousers, donned a pair of overalls. He carelessly threw his everyday trousers on pile of hay. After working several hours he started to dress to go home. He returned to the barn, and removing his overalls, proceeded to draw on his trousers.
 As he drew on one of the trousers legs he was surprised to find something was obstructing his progress. He gave a tug and large snake poked his head out of the waistband and looked into Ayers eyes into an ugly manner. Ayers was mortified and dropping the trousers fled from the barn, calling for help. As soon as he dropped his wearing apparel the snake glided out of the leg and dis appeared in large mound of hay. Da- vid said had he been a drinking man he would not have thought anything of the appearance of the snake, but as he is a teetootlar, when the snake made it's ap- pearance he was somewhat unnerved
