TARIFF CONFERENCE REPORT.
End of Debate at Hand and an Ac-
ceptance Certain.

The House put the Conference Report on
the Tariff through with rush on Monday,
but the Senate moves more deliberately, and
the measure has been pretty well discussed.
A vote was probably reached yesterday Fri
dav) afternoon, and Congress will likely ad-
iOurn today, Saturday.
On Thurday Senator Jones was more en-
phatc in his denunciation of Republican
methods than he has yet been, and Senator
Aldrich protested that the Senator from
Arkansas was treating the Republicans, and
especially those who are members of the con-
ference committee, unfairly.
1t was almost the first time Senator Aldrich
has WINGED under the criticism of the Demo
Gratis, and Senator Jones, so far from abating
the vigor Of his assaults because of the other
protests, evinced greater feeling and displayed
more force than he has done before.
The Democratic complaint against the Re-
publican members of the conference commit
tee is that they did not allow the Democrats
an opportunity to present their views con-
corning the matters in dispute between the
two Houses, and that they exceeded their
authority in placing in the bill matter that
had not been considered by either House of
Congress. In this connection it is found that
there is considerable dissatisfaction among
Republicans of both the House and the Sen
ate concerning the high handed methods OF
the Republican managers in both Houses
since the bill first came from the ways and
means committee of the House.
1t is charged that the Republicans of
the Senate were misled into accepting the
sugar schedule by Senator Aldrich as COM
pletely as the House was deceived into ac-
cepting the report of the conference commit
tee upon the assumption that the sugar sched-
ule, as agreed to in conference, was no higher
than that which originally passed the House.
When the schedule was first presented to
the Republican caucus of the Senate it was
strenuously objected to, but accepted after
Senator Aldrich had made statement in
which he agreed that the finance committee
should modify the schedule in accordance
with suggestions made by Senators. When
the modified schedule was completed it was
presented, not to the caucus, but to the Sen
ate, and the caucus members found them
selves pledged to a schedule of the details OF
which they were practically ignorant until it
was under discussion in the Senate

ESTIMATED YIELD 100000.
Dust and Nuggets Taken Up In tne
Klondike Placer Fields.

CHICAGO, July lS.-Vice President I. b.
Weare, of the North American Iransporta-
ton and Trading Company, has received as
patches from the Klondike placer gold heias
of Alaska which confirm the stones OF us
fabulous wealth received from the racine
coast last week.
One dispatch sums up the yield OF dust and
nuggets in that Eldorado country during the
wear as approximating $5,000,OO0. The let
ter is from Capt John J. Healy. who has
piloted crafts for the North America Com
panv through the winding Alaskan rivers tor
wears. 1t is dated June {, from Circle Clty'
near the British boundary, and depicts graph
icalIy the immense fortunes which have been
made in a fortnight by roaming pennies
miners.
CAPTAIN HeaIv tells ofnew regions that have
been discovered: indeed, the Captain says
that not less than 81 worth of gold dust is
scooped up with every shovelfnl of dirt, and
that applies to every piece OF ground into
which the shovel is delved. Salaries to mi
ners are not less than So day, and man
can get his bed and provisions for 81.
"There is no doubt" said Mr.. Weare,
that the veins of gold are only partly uncov
cred. All my dispatches agree that this is
the continuation of the mother vein in this
country. Won Humboldt, upon his visit to
Dutch Hasber, near Bristol bay, predicted
that the mother vein would show itself in
Alaska in parallel lines. Everything indi-
Gates the truth of this prophecy.
'.Circle City and Fort Cudahy were the
principal gold fields before the klondike
fields were discovered, last fall, and the rush
for the three fields has continued since.
"Gold fields of great value have also been
discovered in the vicinity of Noatak river,
which is British territory, but the travel has
been and continues to be toward the Yukon
fields. This year the number of miners IN
the territory has been increased by 5000, to
which must be added tn Il 1000 miners already
situated there. Most of these miners come
from the silver mines and push through the
wild country and over the mountains. In
this way the distance is only 1000 miles,
while the water route covers 5000 miles.
Mr.. Weare has also news of new diScov-
cry of gold fields, hitherto untouched, near
the mouth of Tananar river, which is the
second largest river of Alaska and enters the
Yukon at the town of Weare.

supreme desire of showing once again that

who with heart and soul will go into caucus

Assaulting White Women.

Florence, Alabama, was in great state of
excitement this week. Jim Speaks, colored,
attempted criminal assault on Mrs. S. L..
Vaughn. He was pursued but escaped, and
this fact together with insolence of the color
ed people, precipitated race war and the
white workmen drove the colored people cut
of the town. One white man was badly cut
and several negroes were killed.
On Wednesday Miss Hemphill, of Bronco,
Georgia, was assaulted by John Deck, color
ed. He fed the place followed by the mob.
A mob in Coosa county, Alabama, on Mon
day night, shot to death James Daniel, a
negro, who had attempted an assault on Mrs

A Lost Mine Found.

PHOENIX, ARR. July 2l.-The reported
discovery of the lost California mine, neal
the Mexican border, is creating a great deal
of interest here. John James and Henry
Blake. who claim to be the discoveries, tell
quite a wonderful story of their hardships on
the southern desert and Of the remarkable
richness of the mine. They say the great
mine lies about fifty miles south of Sentinel
Station, on the Southern Pacific. They adj
nit, however, that it lies in an absolutely
waterless region, but claim that the ore is OF
such richness that it will pay handsomely to
haul water. Specimens Of ore exhibited by
them more than bear out this statement.

The annual scheme to rob the farmers is on
deck again. The wheat harvest is in progress.
and ninety per cent. of the farmers are hard
up, and will be compelled to sell their grain
as soon as threshed. The people who control
the markets have passed the word along the
line, and prices will range low until all the
farmers who are compelled to sell have dis
posed of their wheat; after that, when spe Gu.
iators are the sellers, the prices will be ad-
vanced and the rise will be heralded as "the
return of prosperity" But not one farmer in
