SAGINAW, Mich, July l9.-The city's

Cleveland Operators DO Not Expect Much
from "True Uniformity"
CLEVELAND, July 19.-While local
operators having mines in the Pittsburg
district have agreed or will agree, to
sign the true uniformity scale, they
have little or no faith that the efforts of
the arbitrators will be successful. In
Cleveland there are nine Pttsburg dis.

Suspicion OF FRAUD.

Citchburg Railway Accounts Being In
vestignted by Experts.
ROsToN, July 19.-The sudden and
some.' hat singular death of Clarence G.
Anthony, auditor of the Fitchburg rail-
road, since 1856, at his home in Wal
than, on Thursday morning, has re-
suited in giving what may come to be a
premature publicity to series of facts
relation to the administration of some
of the departments Of the Fitchburg
railroad, the knowledge of which has
thus far been carefully kept within the
very limited circle. Following the news
Of Mr.. Anthony's death it became
known that the directors have for some
months been engaged in special investi-
CATION into the management of the
freight department Of the roads and
that a corps Of expert railroad account
ants have been at work upon the &C.
counts. Their investigation will cover
the entire freight accounts of the road
since the advent Of President Marcy,
which was about 1889.
Believed to Have Pocketed Rebates.
When it is known that such investi.
cation by experts of the ability and rep
utation of those engaged in this work,
will cost perhaps 100000, it seems
probable that the directors of the road
had strong grounds for suspicion Of very
grave and extended wrong-doing before
they set in action such expensive ma
chinery. While details are yet want
ing, it is learned that the suspicious Of
the directors tend toward a conspiracy
or collusion between several officials to
secure from the treasury of the road
large sums of money ostensibly as re.
bates paid to large freight patrons Of
the road, but the larger portion OF
which sums are suspected to have been
divided among the conspirators.

Republican &c ,fereeS Settle Their
DIFF. sa&clS on the Tariff
Bill.
Democratic Members Invited to
Come in and Look Over
the Work.
House Sugar Schedule Accepted
in Place Of the Senate
Amendment.

WASHINGTON, July l9.--Ihe senate
conferees on the tariff bill were called
into the senate very soon after IL o'clock
by summons to make quorum. They
had not been in the chamber five min
utes before rumor gained currency
that they had agreed upon report.
The rumor was in the main confirmed
by the admissions Of the conferees few
minutes later. They would not say to
representatives of the press that they
had absolutely agreed upon all the
items of difference, but admitted even
to the press that the conference was SO far
advanced that they hoped to summon the
Democratic members Of the committee at
their next meeting. They told the
Democrats themselves that they would
certainly want them.
The hope of the Republican conferees
is that the Democrats will allow the re-
mort to be made after one session, and it
is believed that the house will pass
upon the bill at its session Monday
afternoon, providing the report can be
made in time for that.
The conferees stated in conversation
with senator's that there was still con.
siderable in the way of agreement, but
that there was nothing unsettled which
could possibly prevent completion Of the
bill in time to allow of the presentation
of the report on Monday.
Rather Chary of Information.
They were especially chary Of inform.
alton in regard to the sugar schedule,
saying that there were schedules upon
which all the details had not been com.
pleted. Enough leaked out, however,
to leave no room for doubt that the
house had won its point on the schedule
leaving the diferential ON refined sugar
one-eighth Of cent, as fixed in the
house bill. The house conferees refused
to discuss the report of an agreement
for publication, but their manner was
such as to leave no doubt of the feelin
Of triumph OH their part.
The senate rate of IL cents a pound
on lead ore is retained.
No positive information has been
given out from the conference
committee, but enough has been
said to justify the statement that
the figures sent out few days ago will
prevail. These restore the house rates
on first and second class wool, and fix
and cents pound as the rates OH
third class wool, with IL cents valua.
ton as the dividing line.
1t is certain that hides have been left
on the dutiable list, but the understand.
| ing is that the rate has been reduced tC
IL or Is per cent ad valorem.
The house rate of 50 is restored on
white pine lumber, and burlaps and
other hemp products placed Oh the free
list by the senate are restored to the
house rates.

Navy Department Prepared in Case Of

SAN FRANCISCO, July 19.-The Bull.
letin says that it has received reliable
information to the effect that the navy
department has determined not to be
caught mapping in the event of trouble
with Japan over the annexation of the
Hawaiian Islands. All orders for the
department which would have resulted
in moving ships of the Pacific and
Asiatic squadrons from headquarters to
distant positions have been temporarily
suspended. While the authorities at
Washington deny that there is any
effort to keep all available vessels at
ports where orders can reach them at
short notice, naval officers admit that
such scheme is being carried out and

LIMIT PLACED AT $500.

House Agrees to the Armor Plate Amend

WASHINGTON, July 19.-The house has
agreed to the partial conference report
on the general deficiency bill and then
concurred in the senate amendment fix
ing the limit of the cost Of armor plate
for the three battleships now building
at $500 per ton. This was the main
item still in dispute between the two
houses. A strong effort was made to
induce the house to agree to substi-
tute proposition fixing the limit at $400,
as recommended by the secretary of the
navy, but after three hours debate
the house, by vote Of l42 to 45, con-
Cured in the senate amendment.

DETERMINED TO BE AGGRESSIVE

Gomez Believes He Must Assume the Of
fensive to Save Cuba.
ST. LOUIS, July ia Globe Demo
crat Washington special says:
Additional and confirmatory informa.
tion of the critical situation in Cuba has
been received nere. Gomez has fully
made up his mind to take desperate
chances and to try to force an end, one
way or the other, very quickly. He has
informed the junta, and the informa.
tion has been sent to Washington, that
circumstances will not warrant a con.
tinuance of the waiting policy. He
says plainly that if Weyler is allowed
to withdraw 40 battalions from the
west and put them III the field in the
east against Calixto Garcia, the chances
will be against the revolution. Believ.
ing that it is vital to the cause of indie.
pendence to force the fighting in the
west in order to deter t'AA movement of
the troops, as suggested, General Gomez
has taken the field in Havana, and de.
clares he will bring an end quickly.
Causes Great Anxiety to Cubans.
It is useless to disguise the fact that
Cuban sympathizcrs in Washington are
uneasy over this news from Gomez.
They realize that the commander has
made radical change of policy, and
they are afraid he may lose. Gomez
has another reason for this aggressive
and dangerous advance into Havana
province, where Spanish troops swarm.
Weyler recently issued proclamation
Offering amnesty to all insurgents sur
rendering with or without arms. He
also promised to the "presentados" that
they shall be allowed to retain the
horses they bring in.
The effect of this proclamation has
been marked. Information direct to
the Cuban junta is that insurgents in
unexpected numbers have accepted
Weyler's terms. To check the threat
ened disintregration of his forces is part
of the purpose of Gomez in assuming
this daring and perhaps reckless plan Of
campaign. The old general still clings
to his dream Of independence, but the
talk of compromise and Of acceptance
of reforms is spreading among subordi.
nate officers. A crisis in Cuba is near
at hand.

Adverse Report on Proposed Canal From
Great Lakes to the Seaboard.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The secre-
tary Of war has transmitted to congress
the report of the chief of engineers on
the preliminary examination made by
Major T. w. Symons of the corps Of
engineers of ship canal from the
Great Lakes to the Hudson river. The
work was done in accordance with a
provision in the last river and harbor
bill, directing the examination and esti-
mates of the cost of construction of the
most practicable route of such a canal,
wholly within the United States, of suf.
ficient capacity to transport the tonnage
of the lakes to the sea. General Viii.
son, chief of engineers, says in the re.
port that it is the opinion of the local
officer that the
Best Route for Ship Canal
is that by way of Niagara river, Lake
Ontario, Oswego, Oneida lake and Mo-
hawk and Hudson rivers, and this
would cost, at a rough estimate, $780,.
100000. But Major Symons is also OF
the opinion that the Erie canal, when
enlarged under the existing plans of the
state of New York, would, if the re-
strictions imposed by the state upon
its use be removed, give commercial adj
vantage practically equal to the com
mercial advantages of q ship canal
