Senator Teller Explains His Posi-.
tion in the Pending Tariff
Measure.
Not Satisfactory, But Its Passage
Will Allow Transaction of
Other Business.
Governor Pingree Predicts the
Promoters Will Reckon With
the People,

WASHINGTON, July 24.-There was nc
outward evidence when the senate met
that the session was fast drawing to a
close, although senators gathered in
groups and discussed the prospects of
getting away.
House bill was passed authorizing the
president to suspend discriminating
duties imposed ON foreign vessels and
commerce.
A joint resolution was passed for the
erection of government building at
the Transmississippi International Ex-
position at Omaha.
The consideration of the tariff con
ference report was then resumed, and
Mr.. Teller (Colo.) took the floor for a
general speech. He said he did not ia
vor the pending bill, and did not believe
it would accomplish the purposes Of its
friends. Its passage, however, would
dispose of the question and enable con.
gress to devote its attention to Other
subjects. He regarded the
Money Question as the Paramount One.
The last campaign was not, in his judg-
ment, an endorsement of the gold
standard A great many people who
voted for the Republican candidate did
not believe in the gold standard but felt
that that the tariff question was more
important than that affecting finance.
Mr.. Teller turned his attention to the
political methods of the last campaign.
It was the most remarkable contest in
our history, he said, remarkable for the
agencies set at work and the methods
employed for the first time.
A system of terrorism, of deception,
of fraud, the like of which had never
before been seen was put in operation.
And having been successful in this, the
senator expressed the fear that such
methods had become permanent part
Of our political system, until the people
were aroused and repudiated them. II
any one challenged these statements,
then Mr.. Teller said he would go into
details.

TRUE UNIFORMITY
Arbitration Commissioners Think
1t Is Not a Great Distance
Away.
Majority Of Pittsburg Operators
Consent to the Calling cfa
Conference.
Little Coal Being Received From
West Virginia--NIincrs Want
Back Pay.

y P1TTsBURG, July 24.-The arbitration
\ n1nissioners, who are trying to settle
III coal strike, have finally succeeded
in getting the consent Of majority of
the operators Of the Pittsburg district to
join in general conference for the pur-
pose of discussing the true uniformity
plan. The date has not been decided
upon, but it will he fixed for some day
within the next week, and will proba.
bly, be Monday or Tuesday. The great
est difficulty found by the arbitrators in
pushing the movement has been a Ger.
tain lethargy on the part Of the operat-
ors. The cause of this state of affairs
is the fact that they look upon arbitra-
ton as Intellectual. They have little
nope Of settling the strike by this means
and are therefore slow to act In no
case, however, has there been direct op-
position to arbitration.
General Little. president of the board,
stated that the matter was now very
near climax. After this meeting had
been held, he thinks there will be but
little difficulty in completing other ar
rangements for the selection Of arbitrat-
ors. General Little says the miners
have all expressed their approval Of the
agreement and are ready to do all in
S,eir power to bring the question to an
/early settlement.
The agreement, as prepared, is not
entirely satisfactory to some of the oper-
ators in all its provisions. The objec-
tionable clauses will be taken up at the
meeting and changed to suit the desires
Of all concerned.
Floerschicm Getting in Line.
Henry Floerscheim, who is one of the
largest operators in the district, in
serted advertisements in the papers Of.
fering his company stores for sale. He
says he is getting in line for the uni
formity movement and no one can ac-
cuse him of operating "pluck me" stores
hereafter.
The mines of the Washington Coal
and Coke company at Sickle Hollow
are i'll full operation, and 80 cars of coal
are being shipped from the mines every
day.
Armed deputies are Oh guard to pro-
tect the men, and Gatling gun is in
readiness for immediate use in case Of
attack.
The Pittsburg, McKecsport and
Youghiogheny road, which is carrying
this coal, abandoned their trains one
night this week OH account of the dis
covery Of distractions upon the track,
placed there, it is claimed, for the pur-
pose Of wrecking the coal trains from
the Washington mines. The railroad
company has increased it's force of track
walkers, and they are now but one

WILL STAMP 1T OUT.

Railroads Join With State Health De.

ST. PAUL, July 24.-The ravages Of
hog cholera in this and adjoining states
this year will be kept down to mini.
mum, if the concerted action of the
railroads and the state health depart
ment avail anything. Efforts are being
made at present to stamp out the plague
wherever it makes an appearance, and
reports from different sections Of the
state are to the effect that it is not
nearly as general as last year. It is
estimated that the loss from the swine
plague in Minnesota alone has amounted
to nearly 81. 1.5c0, 900, while the loss to
the country at large approximated
$2O. 600. 900.

JUSTICES AND CONSTABLES.
Important Decision in Relation to
Their Salaries.

STOCKTON, May 12.-Judge Budd.
Of the Superior Court this forenoon
rendered a decision important to the
Constables and Justices of the State.
1t was in the suit brought by Con-
stables Carroll and Beach of Stockton
Township, for a salary of 500 a month
each. Under the terms of the new fee
bill, County Auditor Keagle, in order to
be on the safe side, refused to pay the
claims until a judicial determination
was had. The Auditor was thereupon
mandamused, and the court ordered
the payment of the money under the
provision of the new fee bill
The contention was whether in
changing the compensation from fee
to salary basis the compensation was
increased. contrary to the Constitution.
The Court held, however, that mas
much as fees were contingent upon the
amount of work, and a salary a fixed
quantity, there was no criterion by
which they could be measured. The de-
cision is not well received by the cOun-
try COnstables and Justices, for they
will now receive only a comparatively
small salary instead of the big fees
which they have heretofore drawn
down

MINING IN SHASTA COUNTY.
Developments of Importance AM
nOunced From Several Quarters.

REDDING, May 12.-Shasta County
is now the scene of renewed mining
activity, and developments of impor-
lance are announced from several quar-
ters. The Mountain Copper Company
is about to add to it's plant five more
smelling furnaces, which will double
its capacity for copper production. The
additional furnaces will also cause an
increased demand for fiucores, which
will probably result in the reopening
of many abandoned mines, for the out
put of which there has been little de-
mand.
Work in the development Of the Bal
akalala and Windy Camp group of
mines is being vigorously prosecuted,
and considerable quantities. Of high
grade ores have been encountered.
Extensive developments are also in
progress at the Copper City Mines, the
Hart Mine at Old Diggings, the Harri-
son Gulch Mines and the Bully Choop
property. Much prospecting is being
done at Midtown Mountain, near
Whisky Town, and in the French
Gulch In all these localities indica-
tons of rich ore abound. An important
feature of the recent finds is the con-
slant flow of gold from the holes and
the large quantity of copper produced

NOT ON A MISSION OF WAR.
SPECIAL AGENT JAPAN SENT
TO HONOLULU.
If il is Proven the Immigrants Had
No Right to Land His Govern
ment Will Say Nothing.

HONOLULU, May 5. The much
talked-of Japanese cruiser Naniwa
dropped anchor in the harbor shortly
after 10 o'clock this morning, amid the
booming of guns from the battery and
from the Warships already in the har-
Dor. Her own guns answered, and
there was q dipping of colors up and
down the line.
A representative of the Star" was
received aboard with great courtesy by
Captain s. Kuro-oka, the commander
who presented him to NJ Akiyama, the
special agent of the Department of For
eign Affairs at Toxic, who had been
sent here to inquire into immigration
matters Both gentlemen talked very
freely OF their mission TO Hawaii, giving
expression to the most friendly feelings
for the Republic and for the United
States and regret that there has been
any misunderstanding.
MY mission here" said Mr.. Askiya-
ma. lis entirely OF q friendly nature.
The people of Japan have become very
much wrought up over what they be-
lieve to be a high-handed and unjust
action on the part of your Government
in refusing to land emigrants who had
every right to land here. The press has
become very much infiamed, and ad-
wise stern measures, but l assure you
the press does not in any way reflect
the sentiment of the Government We
are a peaceable nation, and all we ask
is Justice. l have been sent here by
nv Government to ascertain the true
facts in this matter If the immigrants
had no right to land we shall have
nothing more to say. If we find that
they were illegally refused landing, and
that the treaty was violated, we feel
sure we can get justice from the Ha-
waiian Government. This talk of war
is all nonsense. Our mission is one of
peace. and not of war
He speaks English very well, and
shows a surprising knowledge of Ea-
waiian affairs for one who has been
abroad for so long.
The market for American labor will
surely be opened here in the near fu-
ture, and will be fostered and support
ed by the Hawaiian Government Plant
ers Nave bound themselves to employ
Americans in preference to either Eu-
ropean or ASiatic labor. AS fast as the
contracts of the Asiatics expire they will
be sent home and their places filled by
Americans.

PROCEEDINGS IN CONGRESS.
THE SUGAR INVESTIGATION OF
1894 RECALLED.
Broker Chapman to be Brought to
the Bar of the Senate to Purge
Himself of Contempt.

WASHINGTON, May I'm the
Senate to-day the sugar investigation of
1894 was recalled by the introduction of
a resolution by Allen of Nebraska re-
citing the circumstances of the investi-
cation, the refusal of Elverton r. Chap
man to testify, his conviction in the
courts as a contumaciOus witness, and
the present efforts toward his pardon.
The resolution proposes that Chapman
be brought to the bar OF the Senate to
purge himself of contumacy as a pre-
requisite to pardon.
Allen sought to secure immediate ac-
ton on the resolution, but it went over
on objections from Gallinger of New
Hampshire and Hoar of Massachusetts,
The latter criticised the resolution as
giving the authority of the Senate, and
said he would propose an amendment
with a view of having Mr.. Chapman
punished, unless he purged himself of
contempt, without reference to the
question of pardon.
The consideration of the resolution
will be in order tomorrow.
Morgan of Alabama made state
ment relative to his resolution on Cuba.
He said the Committee on Foreign Re-
lations at meeting had considered the
question of referring the resolution to
the committee. and had not reached an
agreement. The committee desired,
however, that the resolution go over
until noon tomorrow with a view to
have a statement of facts laid before
the Senate at that time. On Mr.. Nor
gan's request the resolution went over.

and at Indianapolis, Ind, to cost ST.

lief of certain citizens of Montana,
