about way, but 1t is generally believed.
The report is rhat his death occurred
in one of the Pemphyn group. In the
South Sea. where he and the Countess
have been living with the natives. The
news was taken to Tota Troure Island
by n small schooner, which Is said to
have called shortly after the Count had
been buried. and from there 1t was sent
by the schooner Levani to Tahiti.
The same report says that the Count
yacht. the Tolna. had been chartered by
an Australian company shortly before
his death. the Count having determined
to live among the natives for n time.
The Counts Illness was short.
Count Festetics and his bride sailed
from San Francisco in October last year
on his yacht.
The present Countess Festetlcs. who
was Miss Ella Haggin. daughter OF
was the second wife of the Count, who
was n Hungarian nobleman of eccentric
turn OF nina. Inc TWO were married
nearly two years and half ago.

was set afiUat which occasioned much
alarm to IN" friends OF the Count and
Countess. 1t was to the effect that the
mate of the yacht, one ]. F. Wichman,
had boosted before sailing that he would
soon be master of the Tolna. 1t was
said that he intended to seize the yacht,
get ransom from her owners, make
booty OF the stores on board and OF the
Countess's jewelry and go on a piratical
cruise. That he had selected a crew ia
vorable to his purposes was detail OF
the story.
The rumor was exploded In few
days when word was received that the
Count and Countess had arrived safely
on their yacht Mt Honolulu. Oct. 80
/ The Countess was in command, in a
natty yachting costume, and the Count
was busy trimming up hts boat for n

WILL REMAIN NEUTRAL
United States Not Taking Any Part in
the China-Japan COntrO-
VerSy.
WILL USE FRIENDLY OFFICES
But Will Not Enter Into Any Treaty
to FOrcibly Keep Chinese
Ports Open.

WASHINGTON, Aug. GA strong de-
nial is entered at the state department
of the published story that the United
States has or will enter into treaty
with European powers to forcibly oc.
cupy and keep open the treaty ports in
China. 1t is also denied that any over
lures to that end have come to us from
other countries. When the conditions
We're such that war was only threatened
the United States did use its good Offices
to avert the evil. 1t did SO to carry out
a solemn obligation imposed upon us by
the treaty with Corea, whereby we
bound ourselves to protect c. 'ea in the
following terms: ...
"If other powers deal unjustly or op-
pressively with either government the
other will exert their good offices on be-
ing informed of the case, to bring about
an amicable arrangement; thus showing
their friendly feelings"
This obligation was entered into in
1882, and it was under its terms that
the president indicated to Japan that he
would be panied should she inf1ict an
unjust war upon Corea. That was as
far as the United States could go in the
interest Of our good offices, and, besides,
the shifting of the war from Corea to
China relieved US of the necessity Of
further action.

TO LET IN LIGHT.
A Bill to Make All Sessions of Congress
and Its Committees Public.

A Bill to Make All Sessions of Congress
and It's Committees Public.
WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Representa-
tive Richards of Ohio has introduced in
the house bill involving an important
change in the manner of conducting
the work of congressional committees.
This bill will provide that every session
of legislative body of the national con-
gress shall be open to the pubic. If it
passes, it will effectually do away with
star chamber proceedings in all congress
sional matters. The bill states that all
committees and subcommittee consid-
ering proposed legislation referred to
them shall admit the public on all occa-
sions when such matters are considered.
And it shall be unlawful for either Of
the bodies herein designated to hold any
meeting for the transaction of business
in secret. This provision includes the
executive session of the senate and of
the conference committee. In speaking
of the bill Mr.. Richards said that its
purpose is to allow the people the most
ample opportunity to be informed of
their representatives in Washington
and as to their doings. This he believes
that letting in the light Of publicity
ON all official acss of legislation, will re-
suit in reducing opportunity for fraud
and for conspiracies in legislation.

Vineyard Employees Taken Sick and Die
in a Few Hours.
FRESNO, Cal, Aug. s.-Mysterious
death turks in large vineyard near Col
lis. Everybody has left the place and
the authorities are preparing to begin a
searching investigation Of the premises.
On July % Mrs. l. NJ. Jacobs, cook for
the vineyard employees, was taken sud-
denly ill and died within twelve hours.
Two days later Supt Ring was stricken
by similar malady. He is still living,
but will probably die. On Sunday last
A. Peterson, a vineyard workman, was
taken Ill in the same manner and died
within thirty hours. Physicians declare
that both deaths were due to paralysis
of the heart, and that Ring is also
stricken with severe affection OF the
heart. The local medical fraternity is
greatly puzzled.

MILLS TARIFF IDEAS.
They Are Embodied in a Resolution
T. Introduced BY the Senator
From Texas.
TARIFF FOR REVENUE ONLY
Is the Main Idea, Coupled With a Free
Raw Material Clause---Tariff
Conference.

WASHINGTON, Aug. SIN the senate
q resolution was introduced by Mr..
Mills and ordered to lie on the table
temporarily, declaring that in the re-
vision of the existing system of national
taxation, the following principles should
be observed:
First-That all taxes are burdens on
the taxpayers and can only be right
fully imposed to raise revenue to sup
port the government.
Second-That when taxes are imposed
upon imported goods, the rate should
be so low as not materially to restrict
importations, and
Third-That in selecting articles to
be taxed, only those ready for consump-
ton should be chosen, and those inn
ported for manufacture or remanufacture
should be exempt.

Many Spectators Injured I'm the Rush at the
Chicago Ball Grounds Fire.
CHICAGO, Aug S.-The discovery OF
fire in the West Side ball park created
quite panic, in which several of the
spectators met with serious injury and
a large number of others We're slightly
cut and bruised in endeavoring to make
their exit Those most seriously in
jured are: E. w. Bartlett, leg frac-

No 4, severely burned about the hands
and face.
The Chicago and Cincinnati baseball
clubs were battling with each other and
a crowd of not less than 10000 crowded
into the grounds at Polk and Lincoln
streets to witness the game.
Every Available Seat
in the grand stand and bleachers was
occupied, and large crowd OF men and
bows contented themselves at not find
ing seats by taking up their positions on
the ball field. The game had advanced
to the seventh inning, when suddenly a
cry of fire was heard from the bleachers
and thin veil of smoke was seen creep
| ing through the seats from below. The
cry of fire was taken up on all sides, and
in very short time terrible panic ell
sued, The four exits leading from the
grounds were jammed with anxious
men and boys and also sprinkling OF
women. The exits were not large
enough to permit the throng to go
through and hundreds of men
Sought Places of Safety
by jumping over the barbed wire fence
and into the ball ground. The first
reaching the fence scaled it success
fully, but those who followed, i'll their
anxiety to get to safe quarters, tried to
crawl through, and in nearly every i'll
stance became wedged between the
wires, their clothing torn in shreds and
hands and legs lacerated by the sharp
barbs. Edward Ahern, fireman con-
nected with the insurance patrol No 4,
endeavored to reach the ball ground by
going through that portion of the stand

Very slow Progress Oh the Three Schedules

WAsHINGToN, Aug. S.-The Demo-
cratic tariff conferees were i'll session
again ut II o'clock and resumed
the work of trying to reach an agree
ment III the points of difference. When
some of the members of the committee
came )ut of the conference at IL O'Clock
they stated that no perceptible progress
had been made, and to all appearances
the situation was the same as it had
been for the past week.
Carlisle Makes Suggestions.
Secretary Carlisle had recently been
called into frequent consultation by H.
diyidual members of the conference.
He cas- called on Saturday night by q
subcommittee of the conference. He
made certain suggestions concerning the
administrative features of some Of the
proposed compromise features, and 1t Is
understood that since the suggestions
hvere received the conference has been
considering their bearing upon the ques-
tions at issue. The coal and iron ore
questions have been taken up with
view to reaching an understanding upon
them, but
Progress Has Been Slow.
1t is understood that the senate con-
ferees have indicated a willingness to
make concession in the way of time
that the duty shall continue but not to
lessen the amount of duty provided in
either case The house members have
not indicated disposition to accept
this concession, and it is understood to
be holding out for the terms OF the
house bill on these items.
The Louisiana senators are demand
ing the continuation of at least a part
of the sugar bounty for the present
year, but the prospect of the success OF
this demand does not appear to bt
bright, and there is an increase OF tht
talk of passing IL free shgar bill in case
of the failure of the tariff bill which il
proba bly, intended largely to bring th'
Louisiana senators into line.
Two Distinct Views.
When the tariff conference took re
cess for lunch two distinct views were
presented. The house conferees ant
tho men with whom they converset
seemed to think that an agreement wa
in sight The senate conferees ant
those senators with whom they advis'
and consult seemed to think that tn
prospects were not so bright and that al
ultimate disagreement would be re
ported.
1t was also stated that an end must b
reached within the next two days an'
either an agreement OF report OF
disagreement made. Coal and iron or
were the articles in dispute, the contes
having been transferred from sugar
which has so long engaged the attention
of the conferees. The contest owe
these articles is very stubbornly mad
Oh both sides.
