Unless the Conference Committee Reports
the Tariff Bill.
A Disposition to Do Little in the
Way of General Legislation Af-
ter the General Deficiency APP
preparation Bill is Disposed of
and Will Insist on Adjourn
ment as Soon as the Tariff Bill
is Passed.

WASHINGTON, July 11.-Beyond
the fact that the general deficiency APP
preparation bill viii be passed, and the
Senate viii stand ready to take up
the tariff bill at any time that a re-
port may be brought in by the Con-
ference Committee, little can be pre-
dicted of the course of events in the
Senate during the present week. The
disposition is to do little in the way
of general legislation, and there is a
proposition under consideration by the
leaders of the two sides of the cham
ber to adopt the plan now in vogue in
the House for sitting only every third
day after the deficiency bill shall have
been disposed of.
This suggestion has been made in
view of the possibility of pressure to
take up the matter of the appointment
of a Currency Commission. The i'm
preston about the Senate is that the
House will pass such bill on the sub
ject as the President may recon-
mend, but there is no probability that
the Senate Will take the matter up Sc
riously. They desire to make this in
tenton clear by infrequent meetings.
There are however, some matters on
the executive calendar demanding at
tention, and there may be an effort to
clear this calendar off during the week.
If such should prove to be the case,
there would be more or less discussion
in the executive sessions over the Me
Cord, Warner and GoOdnow nominal
tions. The friends of the Hawaiian an
nexation treaty ON the Foreign Rela-
tions Committee also hope to be author
lied to report ratification resolution
at their meeting next Wednesday, but
it is by no means certain that the COM
mittee will be able to reach an agree
ment so soon.
Monday will be devoted to the general
deficiency bill. particular attention be-
ing given to the provision for the pur-
chase of arnor plate at $425 per ton.
This portion of the bill will be seri-
ously antagonized and quite fiercely
debated. Senator Harris of Kansas Will
endeavor to get up his resolution re-
garding the reorganization of the Union
Pacific Railroad during the week, but
in this he will be opposed, and is not
likely to succeed.
The tariff conference confidently ex-
poets to bring in the tariff bill by
i thursday. L he leIISln Ol lne ueDdlS
on the report will depend upon how
we'll the Senate conferrees may have
succeeded in maintaining the integrity
of the Senate bill. The Democrats and
the opponents of the bill make no Sc
cret of their intention to oppose the
adoption of the report, If it appears
that the amendments which they We're
instrumental in securing, putting cotton
bagging, cotton ties, burlaps, Paris
green, etc, on the free list, have been
receded from.
The Senate will insist upon final ad-
journment as soon as the tariff is dis
posed of.

i'll for some time and it was claimed that
fedora Salaz, who was considered by
the ignorant and superstitious natives of
the neighborhood as a 'bruha," or
WITCH exercised her wiles over the
young girl.
1t appears that following the advice Of
his mother young Lafoya and his com
panion, Lucero, followed the old woman
to place about three miles from San
Lorenzo. where, after being frightened
she was prevailed upon to go back with
them to the girls house and cure her.
They placed her on the saddle of Lu
cero's horse, young Lucero mounting be-
hind. After going a short distance
Lafoya pulled his pistol and killed the
old Woman's dog, which was following,
remarking that he had got rid of one
''bruha," and would now get rid of the
other the old woman). He thereupon
threw a lasso over her, and, starting his
horse, jerked her from the animal. He
then instructed Lucero to attach his
lasso to her feet, and then. starting their
horses on the run, dragged the woman
to DEATH not a vestige of clothing being
found on the body when discovered.
After lingering around the place for a
few days the murderers disappeared.
The mother of Lafoya was arrested,
she having told the officers who called at
her house that she had told her son and
Lucero to kill the old woman.

ROCKEFELLER SUED.
James Corrigan, the Vessel Owner,
Wants an Accounting

CLEVELAND, July 11.-John d.
Rockefeller has been sued in the Com
mon Pleas Court here by James Corri-
gan, the vessel owner, for an account
ing.
Corrigan, who was in Rockefeller's
debt, gave the latter as collateral Sc
curity, it is asserted, $500 shares of
Standard Oil stock. Later that stock
was credited to Corrigan on his indebt-
edness. He now insists that he was
not allowed what the stock was worth.
The petition is not filed in court, but
it is said the stock was credited at the
rate of $14S a share. It sold yesterday
for $31S.
Corrigan declined to-day to discuss
it. He said he had asked for an ac-
counting, and when asked the amount
of his claim, he said: I cannot tell.
I don't know how much it will be- I
contend that I was not allowed what
the stock was worth. The Standard
Oil Company is a trust, and I was on

ard Territory. Mr.. Pollasky is at the

honor of entertaining the next conVen-

CONSTANTINOPLE, July 11.-Queen
Victoria, Emperor William, Emperor
Nicholas, President Faure and King
Humbert have replied to the telegram
received by them from the Sultan, and
all give advice similar to that sent by
Emperor Francis Joseph.
Emperor William says in substance
that he regrets his inability to disasso-
ciate himself from the views held by
the other Powers.
Replies to the circular of the Turkish
Government to the Powers relative to
the frontier question have also been
received by the ambassadors. They all
decline to admit the Turkish preten-
sions. The Porte has sent another
circular to the Powers, proposing that
in view of the disturbed conditions ex-
listing in Crete, Turkey send reinforce
ments to the island To this the Pow
ers have also replied, endeavoring to
dissuade the Porte from such course.
This latter proposal on the part of
the Turkish Government is held to in
dicate that the Sultan does not intend
to yield in regard to the frontier ques-
ton.
LONDON, July 1.-THE Times .

telegram to Emperor William asked
the Emperor ''to consider the represen-

tions in friendly spirit but abstained
