THEEND NEAR At HAND
Vote in the Senate on Tariff
Bill Expected Soon.
IMPORTANT PROVISIONS ADOPTED
hawaiian Treaty and Coal Duty Agreed
UPon-Reciprocity Clause Pre-
sented to the Senate,

Washington, July 2.-As result of
the rapid work on the tariff bill today,
the close of the long debate in the SEN
ate and the final vote on the bill is felt
to be very near at hand. Two of the
most important provisions, those relat-
ing to the Hawaiian treaty of reciproci-
ty, and the duty on coal, were perfected
today, while another source of much
conflict, the reciprocity section, was
matured by the finance committee and
presented to the senate. Aside from
these larger items, a great many minor
ones, which have caused more or less
conflict, were disposed of. The Ha-
waiian provision of the house bill was
restored after brief debate, and with
out the formality of vote. This had
the effect of leaving the Hawaiian trea-
ty of reciprocity in full force and
effect. During the day, Turpie spoke
in support of the amendment for 2
per cent tax on inheritances. His
speech was notable for it's picturesque
metaphors and the virulence of his de-
nunciation of the pending bill.

Horse Meat for Europe.

Portland, Or, July 2.-The Western
Packing Cnmpany, which built an
abattoir at Linnton, near this city, and
engaged in the slaughtering of horses
some two years ago, but were obliged
to give up the business on account OF
not being able to find a market for the
horse meat, have resumed business
again, and are killing thirty to forty
horses per day. The trade in horse
meat has increased greatly in Europe,
and it is thought market for Amer
lean horse meat can now be found
there. The choicest parts only are be-
ing sailed in casks for shipment, but it
is the intention of the company to en-
gage in canning before long.

Three LIVES LOST.
Two EndeavOr Special Sections Badly
Wrecked Near Chicago.

Two EndeavOr Special Sections Badly
Wrecked Near Chicago.
Chicago, July 2.-Three persons
were killed outright and about 20
others injured in rear-end collision
on the Chicago & Northwestern road at
1:45 this morning, 80 miles out of Chi
cago.
Passengers on both trains began the
work of rescue. One of the first of the
injured taken out was Engineer Charles
Courtney, of section No. 5. He had
stuck to his post and was seriously in
jured.
Men and women could be seen strug-
Cling to extricate themselves from the
wreckage. Others pinned down by some
crushing weight were crying for help.
Here and there was an arm or leg pro-
truding from the debris.
A pathetic scene was the rescue of
two daughters of Mrs. Shipman, of Ap-
pleton. They were unable to extricate
themselves, and although hurt refused
assistance, begging that their mother
be helped. Mrs. Shipman was found
crushed under part of roof and life
was extinct when she was taken out.
Mrs. John Gooding was probably in
stantly killed. The force of the col
lision crushed together the partitions of
her berth and she had no possible
chance to escape.

New Bedford, Mass, July Let
tiers received in this city today from
Herschel island bring the intelligence
that three of the stanchest steamers Of
the San Francisco whaling fleet were
caught in the ice off the mouth Of the
Mackenzie river last September, and
could not make harbor. These ves-
sells, the Mary D. Hume, Captain Will
liam Haggerty; the Jessie H. Freeman,
Captain w. s. Porter, and the Fearless,
Captain James McKenna, were frozen
in the ice while trying to make har-
Dor. They were in no danger during
the winter, but the letters state that
during June, when the ice pack breaks
up, the vessels will have hard time
of it, and the chances are that ell will
be crushed. If so, the lives of from
1870 to $50 men would be in danger.
The whalers were short of provisions,
and the crews had to haul supplies
from Herschel island over the ice On
dog sledges to the vessels.

IN A MURDERER's CELL.
BoOkkeeper Figel Arrested, Charged
With Killing Isaac Hoffman.

San Francisco, July 2.-Theodore
Figel is now in the city prison, charged
with the murder of Isaac Hoffman, the
wholesale clothing merchant, who was
found dead in his Battery-street Office
with three bullet wounds in his head
four weeks ago. Late this afternoon a
warrant was issued for the rearrest of
Figel, who has been bookkeeper for
Hoffman, Rothchild & Co. AT 5
O'Clock Figel reported at the office of
Chief Of Police eLes, and after being
closeted with that official 20 minutes
was taken to the city prison and booked
on six charges. namely, one of murder,
two of forgery and three of felony en-
bezzlement. The murder complaint
was sworn out by Henry Hoffman,
brother of Isaac Hoffman. Figel will
be arraigned on the new charges tomor-
row. He had previously been out on
bail on three charges of embezzlement,
but the authorities are now determined
to keep him in prison, and no further
bail will be sanctioned.
After he was locked up this evening
Figel became exceedingly nervous, and
asked that he be left alone, requesting
that a newspaper reporter bear him
company until the arrival OF his
friends. The newspaper man chatted
with the prisoner until first his friend
Taylor and then his father came to
cheer him up.

Not Preparing for War.

Boston, July Secretary of the
Navy Long arrived in Boston harbor
this morning in the Dolphin, and pro-
ceeded at once to his home in Hing
ham. Asked if it were true that stimuli
taneously with the signing Of the Ha-
waiian annexation treaty at Washing
ton. plans were prepared in the war
and navy departments for any possible
contingency with Japan, he replied:
ct is not true as to the navy.
There has not been the slightest an
ticipation on my part Of any war with
Japan. VIII Oh is q highly civilized

SHOT BY eOATPULLER.
4 Fatal Ending to Fishermen's Quarrel
Is Certainty.

=
Is Certainty.
Astoria, Or, July IA terrible
shooting ARRAY occurred last night be-
tween and 9 O'Clock, in fishing boat,
as the result of which Louis Spina is
now lying at the point of death at St.
Mary's hospital. Spina and Antoine
Tonich operate a fishing boat. After
laying the net Tonich wanted to lie
down and sleep, but Spina objected. A
quarrel followed. Spina drew knife
and started for his boatpuller, but the
latter picked up Winchester rife,
and, warning the captain not to come
at him, pulled the trigger. The ball
struck Spina in the left groin, lacerat-
ing the intestines in frightful manner.
The injured man fell into the river and
was rescued by the boatpuller, who has
tened with all possible speed to this
city and reported the matter to the
sheriff.
Spina made statement of the cause
of the shooting and exonerated Tonich
from blame in the matter. He said he
was wrong in objecting to the boatpull-
er taking rest, and that he attacked
him. When he started for him, Spina
says he was warned, but would pay no
attention to the boatpuller. He also
said the shooting was accidental, but it
is likely he wished to shield his part
ner.
Tonich was lodged in Jail, pending
further investigation into the case.
Spina cannot possibly live. Internal
hemorrhage has set in, and death is
momentarily expected. Owing to the
mans injuries, fully four feet of intes-
tines had to be removed.
The men had fished together for the
last four years.

Case.
Washington, July 2.-The report nre.
pared by Senator Hoar in the case of
d. w. Corbett, claiming a seat from

nor, has been printed for the use OF
the committee.
After reviewing the situation in the
Oregon legislature, the report contin.
ues:
1t is clear. whatever NAV have been
the nature of the organization of the
legislature, that it had been dispersed
and had come to an end before March
1, 1897, when the vacancy in the office

which Mr.. Mitchell had been chosen.
and which he had held for six wears.
occurred. Any choice or appointment
made after that time must be choice
or appointment for less than six years.
1t is well settled, by practice
which has existed from the formation
OF the~gOvernment, that the vacancies
SO occurring after the beginning of a
constitutional term may be filled by the
legislature. If that is true, they NAV
be filled by the executive of the state
during the recess of the legislature.
The legislature is only authorized by
the constitution to fill such vacancies
as might be filled by the executive by
temporary appointment until the next
meeting of the legislature.
So, if the executive has no power.
the legislature has no power. The
executive may lawfully make a tempo
rary appointment, and the legislature

the Office must remain vacant for the
rest of the six years.
1t has been said that a vacancy does
not happen when it occurs by reason of
the expiration of a certain term, or
when the office has never been filled,
but the report holds that this posi-
ton is not we'll taken, and says:
when the term of representative
expires and the people have failed to
elect successor beforehand, which &C.

THE EFFORT OF HIS LIFE.
Wey1er Planning an Energetic Cam

Weyler Planning an Energetic Cam
paign Against the Cubans.
Chicago. July IA Chronicle spe-
cial from Jacksonville says: Weyler,
while in Cienfuegos, made a request
for 10000 more colonial volunteers,
with the intention of starting an active
campaign. He has also demanded from
Spain 10000 more troops to reach Cuba
by September l. The rainy season will
be drawing to a close then, and it goes
to prove the assertion that he will make
the effort Of his life to conquer the in
surgents.
The announcement that Gomez will
begin active operations is verified.
1t is stated that Spanish column
had had an engagement with rebels
under Stolongo, in the province of Ma
tanzas. The insurgents are alleged to
have been dispersed, with loss of Is
killed and Ole wounded. A Spanish
corporal was wounded. 1t is known
that the engagement" was simply an
attack by the troops upon the defense
less pacifcos on ranch, and that the
Is reported killed in battle were brutal
ly massacred.

Day in the Senate.

Washington, July 1.-Several hun
dred pension bills were reported to the
senate today as result of the first
meeting of the pension committee since
the present congress assembled. Gal
linger stated that it had been decided
to report favorably all those bills which
had been formally passed by either
branch of congress, or had been favora-
bly, considered in the committee.
The general pension bills were
among those reported, two of them
amending the act of 1890 and another
referring to proof in pension cases. 1t
took half an hour to read the list of
private pension bills.
During the day the senate disposed of
the lead paragraphs, the committee
rate of l Il cents per pound on lead ore
being agreed to, 80 to Is. The other
paragraphs considered were of compare
lively minor importance.

Washington, July 2.-The Republi-
can members of the senate finance COM
mittee were in session several hours to-
night putting the finishing touches on
the tariff bill and practically adjusted
all paragraphs that have been passed
over. The most important action was
to agree in principle to the provision
in the house bill limiting to 500 in
value the amount in baggage of persons
arriving in the United States that may
be admitted free of duty. The COM
mittee decided to restore coal tar to the
free list. The announcement of a re-
cent decision to make it dutiable caused
SO many protests that the committee
has returned to its original intention.

AMERICANS TO BE TRIED.
The Famous Competitor Case Comes
Up at Havana July 1.


Up at Havana July I.
New York, June 30.-A Journal dis
patch from Havana says: Consul Gem
eral Lee has finally been notified that
Ona Melton, the American newspaper
correspondent, Captain LaBored and
others belonging to the captured
schooner Competitor, and one or two
Americans incarceratedwith them in
Cabanas fortress, will be called for trial
July l. The hearing will be before
civil judges, and judgment will be
based on the declarations previously
made within the walls Of the prisons
on evidence taken by government
official or crown prosecutor, acting on
behalf Of the Spanish admiralty and
war department. The court will listen
to no new testimony, save in support
OF the written declarations already
filed.
George Ferran, the only witness the
Competitor men were permitted to call
on their behalf, was arrested immedi-
ately after his examination, and is still
in prison. His sworn statement was
that the vessel was beyond the three
mile limit, and had the American flag
at her masthead when seized. This
statement displeased the Spaniards,
and Ferran was therefore detained here
and charged with perjury.
Consul-General Lee has as yet re-
ceived no instructions to employ coun-
sci to defend the prisoners.
A Spanish magistrate said the men
would undoubtedly be found guilty
again and sentenced to death or long
terms of imprisonment, but added:
''Their friends should not fear their
being executed or deported. Our peo-
pie are too diplomatic to force Ameri-
cas- hand. -
The rebel generals. Rivera and Bal
lacoa will not be shot. General Wey-
Ter has received a cable from Minister
of War Ascarraga to indefinitely sus-
pend the court-martial sentence of
death, pending the close Of hostilities,
when their pardon may be expected.
General Weyler himself has taken no
steps to stop the court-martial and
shooting of other and less important
prisoners of the war.
During the last three days at Ma
tanzas, at Sagua, Santa Clara, Sancti
Spiritus, Cienfuegos, and Pinar del
Rio, dozens of executions occurred.
At Sagua two Cuban girls accused Of
sending out clothes to their brothers
fighting under the insurgent chief,
Roban, were convicted of aiding the re-
bellion and sentenced by military
court to respectively IL years and six
months imprisonment in the African
penal colony.

Milwaukee. June 29.-At meeting
today of the Amalagmated Association,
employees of the Illinois Steel Company,
a strike was ordered to begin Thursday.
The company submitted scale pro-
