TARIFF BILL.
Finishing Touches Said to Have Been
Put On.

Washington, April 30.-Senators ALI
son and Aldrich spent the day in plac-
ing the finishing touches to the tariff
bill. They were the only members of
the subcommittee in the city. The
bill has been completed in all essential
particulars and now only remains to be
put in shape for presentation to the
Democrats The members of the sub
committee decline to reveal the changes
agreed upon, even to members IF the
senate.
Indeed, senators generally are as ig-
norant of the amendments agreed upon
as the general public, and it is safe TO
say that the report when made will
contain many surprises.
The Democrats say the length of time
taken in committee will depend entirely
upon the character of the amendments.
1t is understood to be one of the pur-
poses of the Democratic members of
the finance committee to offer several
amendments and force a vote on them
so as to put the Republicans on rec
ord. and they count upon having the
cooperation of Senator Jones of Ne
vada on some of their propositions.
Senator Jones position appears to be
that he will demand certain conces-
sions, most of them affecting western
interests and that if he does not secure
them he will join the Democrats in or
der to get them, and some of the Dem
ccratic members have indicated a will
lingneSS to assist him.

TWELVE PERSONS
ARE YET MISSING
Several Bodies Recovered from
Guthrie Flood.

Kansas City, April 30.-A special to
the Times from Guthrie says: Five
more bodies were recovered today from
the debris left by Wednesdays catac-
lism in West Guthrie.
The bodies of George Owens and Mrs.
Charles Ruffins were found on the west
bank of the river The bodies of
Henry Simmons and Mrs. Watson and
child were found under pile of hay
near the Cimmarron. Mrs. Watson had
her child closely clutched to her breast,
in which position both met death.
Scores of searching parties are at
work, but progress is slow, since tons
of debris must be dug over in the
search.
1t is believed that the rushing waters
OF the Cimmarron conceal many
corpses The Cimmarron is two miles
north of the city. and when the flood
came the waters, of the Cottonwood
joined it. The Cimmarron bottom con-
tains duicksand, and it is one of the
most treacherous streams in the coun-
try. 1t flows into the Arkansas in the
east end of Pawnee, and it is likely
that several bodies not buried in the
sand have been carried on TO the Ar
kansas, which is always very high.
The bodies of the dead VIII be buried
tomorrow.
The Cimarron river is literally jam
med with wreckage and the bodies of
dead animals.
Farmers are fishing out and carrying
off the wreckage by carloads. The rear
ICrtion of the Helm brewing plant,
containing $4,000 worth of machinery,

Division Superintendent Dolan, of
the Santa Fe. increased his force of
trackmen to 500 today. and now has
that number of men at work on the
tracks south of Guthrie. He states
that traffic will BE- open 10 the south
by tomorrow morning. Over four miles
of the Santa Fe road bed was washed
out The Santa Fe Will lose S25, 900.
The loss to this city and county. by
careful estimate, reaches $500. 600. Seven
costly bridges were destroyed. Twelve

REFORMS In CUBA.
WHAT THE QUEEN REGENT DE-
SIRES TO DO.
Royal Decree Has Been Promulgated
and Will Probably be Made
Further Known Today.

Washington, April 30.-Minister Du
puy de LONE has received an official
dispatch from Madrid, confirming the
press cable that the queen has applied
the reforms to Cuba. The dispatch
adds:
I'm view of the report of General
Weyler, declaring that he considers
that the state OF pacification of the
central and western provinces of Cuba
permit the application of the reforms
offered by the government, these were
considered at the council Of ministers
presided over by the queen today (29th)
and her majesty has signed a royal de-
cree that will be promulgated tomor
row (30th) in the official gazette. or
dering the application OF the reforms
in the said provinces. To that end
there viii be gazetted successfully and
'immedia teiy the necessary regulations
for the enforcement of the laws"
1t is expected that the regulations
referred. TO viii give the details of the
time and manner of putting the law
into effect the holding of elections for
the council of administration, etc The
change is of such a sweeping character
that the application of the laws Will
be attended with many difficulties. The
action taken at Madrid was based on
General Weylers advice that the larg-
est group of insurgents in the province
covered by the order was ore of about
poo under Quintin Banderas and an
other of about so under Gomez
The Spanish cortez has been called

Atlanta. Ga. April 3O.-The Is army
officers constituting the court martial be-
fore which Captain Henry Romeyn is
now on trial at Fort Mcpherson. haze
received orders from the war department
to the effect that upon tho coaciusicn
of the present trial they shall remain IN
Atlanta to await further instructions.
The order is regarded as very significant
from the fact that Captain RomeSn. has
preferred charges against Lieutenant NJ.
J. o Brien of the Sixth infantry. who IS
the former officers accuSer in the case
now pending The charges against
O. Brien are said to be very serious. and
should he ever be brought up for trial ii
is expected that there will be some very
lively proceedings which will totally eclipse
in sensation the trial of Romeyn.
President Guenther of the court martial
is as vet ignorant Of swhat the orders to
the court will be. but it is generally be-
lieved that they Will remain here TO t-Y
O'Brien. The trial of Romeyn Drugs
slowly along. II may conclude Saturday

Barton's Brother Stin Believes the
Young Man Innocent.

Barton while in ogden moved in the
very hest society and is very well con-
nected. His brother. c. II. Barton. has
long held a responsible position in the
bank and his standing in the cOmmun-
ity is such as TO place him above sus
picion. C. H. Barton says he still be-
lieves that there is some mistake and
that his brother is innocent. He can
not recall any time when an oDpor-
tunity was given for his brother or any
other outsider to get at the cash None
of the other bank officials had any
thing 10 say last night.
It is certain that the money was first
found to be missing on Feb. q. Just
how long previously it had been alb
sent from the vault is not known
An irresponsible rumOr was on the
streets last night to the effect that the
bank would not open its doors this
morning. The only reason for the re-
port was that there was no one at
work in the bank balancing UP the
books. None of the officers could be
seen. but c. II. Barton said the rea-
during the day. allowing the clerks to
balance up the books during business
hours,
He stated the bank would open az
usual and that there was absolutely no
reason why it should not. for as has
been pointed out. the bank itself did
not lose a dollar of the $4,000 taken
from its vaults
