SEATTLE WILD OVER GOLD.

steamer Portland Arrives From Alaska
With s1, $50 600 on Board.
SEATTLE, WASH, July 19.-No won
der Seattle has gone stark, staring mad
on gold. The North American Trans
portation company's steamer Portland
has reached this port Srom st. Michaels
with at least 81, $50, 900 in gold dust as
freight and 68 miners aboard.
Some of the miners have with them
$75, 900, and not one Of them has less
than $1,000, every dollar Of which has
been taken from the Clondyke within
the year, and most these men, with a
competency now in their hands, have
claims in that fabulously rich region
that almost beyond doubt will net them
hundreds of thousands more.
The arrival Of the Portland and the
reports of the wonderful discoveries in
Alaska have caused intense excitement.
Policemen are resigning from the force;
every street car man that can raise q
stake, has given notice to his company.
In fact all classes Of society are repre-
sented in the feverish rush to get north.
The steamship officers are rushed with
business and outitting stores are taxed
to their utmost capacity to supply the.
wants Of those who are getting ready to
make the trip.
Merchants are fearful that their help
win leave them and they win be unable
to gil their places. 81

after round Of applause from his Repub-
ican colleagues by predicting as re-
suit Of the enactment of this bill rise
of prices and restoration of prosperity.
Bailey Makes His Speech.
At the evening session of the house
the Republicans still pursued the tactics
they had adopted during the day ses-
sion. None of them claimed the floor
and the minority were compelled to put
forward their speakers. Therefore after
Mcdowell Of Ohio and Berry of Ken
tucky, both Democrats, had made brief
speeches, Mr.. Bailey, the Democratic
leader, who had been reserving his
speech for the close, took the floor. He
made carefully prepared argument
dealing more with the general principles
involved than with details. Time and
again during the progress of his remarks
the Democrats were aroused by his elo-
quence to q high pitch Of enthusiasm.
Mr.. McMillin (Dem., Tenn.), who
had 20 minutes of his hour remaining,
consumed that time in denouncing the
sugar schedule.
The Vote ID Taken.
Mr.. Payne and Mr.. Dingley success
ively took the floor for some closing
remarks. Both devoted their time to a
defense of the sugar schedule. Amid q
storm Of cheering Mr.. Dingley then de-
manded. the previous question on the
adoption Of the conference report.

QUICKLY
HOUSE ADOPTED THE CONFERENCE
REPORT ON THE TARIFF

After Twelve Hours ~of Continuous Talk.
Republicans Avoid Debate in Order to
Hasten Final Action on the Bill-An-
alysis OF the Vote.
WASHINGTON, July 2O.--The confer
ence report on the tariff bill was
adopted by the house shortly after mid
night by vote Of 1856 to 11S, and the
report win now go to the senate for
action there. This eclipses all previous
records. The result was accomplished
after 10 hours of continuous debate.
But two speeches were made by the Re-
publicans, one by Chairman Dingley in
opening the debate, and one by Mr..
Payne Of New York in closing it. The
Democrats were thus forced to put
forth speaker after speaker.
The sugar schedule was the main
point Of assault, but the most interest
ing feature Of the debate occurred when
Mr.. Bailey and Mr.. McMillin, the two

rival Democratic leaders, crossed
swords on the question Of orthodoxy Of
the free raw material doctrine, the for
per opposing and the latter champion
hg it.
Five Democrats Vote For the Bill.
The galleries were crowded up to the
time the vote was taken, many dis
tinguished people being present. Among
them were q number Of senators, several
members of the cabinet and few MEM
bers Of the diplomatic corps. Every Re-
publican in the house who was present
voted for the report The Democrats,
with i've exceptions, voted against the
report. The exceptions were Slayden
(Tex.), Broussard (LA.), Meyer (La.),
Davey (LA., D. Keberg (Tex). The Pop
ulists and Silverites did not vote solidly.
Shafroth (Colo.), Newhnds New and
Hartman (Mon.), Silverites, did not
vote. Ten PopuEsts voted against the
report and four did not vote. The other
Populists were absent.
An analysis Of the vote shows that
l80 Republicans and Democrats voted
for the report and 106 Democrats and 10
Populists against it.
Dingley Explains the Schedules.
{ At the opening Of the house session
IN effort was made to secure an agree
ment naming q time for final vote.
The Democrats asked two days, but this
was refused. Mr.. Dingley then began

REMARKABLE SHOWING.

Exports Of Merchandise for the last Fis-
cal Year Break All Records.
WASHINGTON, July 16. The monthly
statement Of the exports and imports OF
the United States just issued makes the
remarkable showing that never before
in the history Of the country has the ex-
ports Of merchandise. which includes
practically all the exports except gold
and silver, reached so high q figure as
during the fiscal year ending June 80.
1897, nor has the excess Of exports over
imports ever been 30 large. The only
time these figures were approached was
In 1892, when the United States was
making heavy shipments Of grain to
feed Europeans suffering from series

10 asR mr.. Dingley a question whiig sno
question was being put. Several times
he called ''Mr. Speaker" but was not
recognized. The demand was sustained
by viva voce vote and the vote on the
adoption Of the report followed by yeas
and nays.
Considerable excitement occurred
while the vote was being taken. When
the speaker announced the vote, 1875
ayes, 118 noes, the Republicans broke
into loud cheers.

CRAWFORD IS PRESIDENT.

Kentucky Man at the Head Of the League
Of Republican Clubs.
DETROIT, July 15.-Leonard J. Craw-
ford Of Newport, KY, has been elected
president Of the National Republican
League. While the contest for the
presidency had all the appearance Of q
close struggle the result can scarcely be
said to have been in doubt. The lead
ing candidates in opposition to Craw-
ford were Fleitz Of Pennsylvania and
Higgins Of Michigan, but only one bal
lot was necessary for decision. Ac-,
cording to the Indications M. J. Dowl-
ing of Minnesota will be reelected as
secretary, which will complete the lead
ing slate of Crawford, Bowling, and
Omaha for the next convention. The
committee on time and place Of next
convention selected Omaha, but left the
question of dates to the Nebraska
league.
The Platform Adopted.
There was no contest over resolutions,
the strenuously expressed wish Of colored
delegates for the addition of an anti
lynching declaration was willingly
granted. The platform .commends
the president and congress in
sending monetary commission
to European nations; for. in
augurating measures for the annexation
Of Hawaii, and for an attitude on the
Cuban matter that has tended to lessen
Spanish atrocities in that island. They
urge upon congress the earliest possible
passage of a discrimination duty meas
ure to protect American shipping.
Congress was commended for foster
ing the beet sugar industry by legisla-
ton. The question Of equal suffrage to
woman is recommended to members Of
the league as matter Of education.
President Cleveland's civil service
changes are vigorously condemned, and
q modification of the rules and provi-
Hons of that law are favored.
DETROIT, July I'm. J. Dowling of
Minnesota was reelected secretary Of
the National Republican league by q
large majority, the vote later being
made unanimous.
Frank J. Higgins of New Jersey was
unanimously elected treasurer. Omaha
was selected for the next convention
city, the date to be fixed later. IS

New Feature to he Introduced In the
Mining Strike Soon.
PITTsBURG, July 20. Some new fea-
lures win likely be introduced into the
struggle within the next two days but
the leaders are maintaining the greatest
secrecy regarding their movements. It
is believed they contemplate calling
upon the railway organizations for as
sistance. At a meeting Of railway en-
.ployes held here resolutions were
adopted pledging support to the strikers
and each mem ber was assessed % for
the strike fund.
Active work has been commenced in
the coke region and efforts win be made
to bring out all the men at mines where
the product is shipped to Rttsburg.

CoLUMBus, O., July 19.-President
Ratchford sums up the strike situation
rs follows: "The manner in which the
miners are conducting themselves COM
mends itself to the country and gives
thei& officers renewed encouragement
and trengthens the belief that victory
win Ultimately crown their efforts.
.sTAe history Of industrial strife has
no parallel to the present movement.
Deputy marshals, coal and iron police
and secret detectives have been at work,
but their presence has failed to incite
the miners to acts Of lawlessness or even
to q resumption Of work. Their pres
ence IN peaceable communities with q
chip on their shoulder gave some
cause Tor alarm, and ordinarily would
have caused resort to violence. But
our miners in this instance, profting by
the Experience Of the past, would
neither cause trouble themselves nor
allow themselves to become involved in
the trouble by the action Of others.
Satisfied With Results.
Eve have started into this movement
realizing fully the importance of the
work before us, and after two weeks Of
suspension involving more than 100, 600
miners, we are well satisfied with the
results. Only those who are best ac-
quainted with the condition of the min.
ers have any idea Of the extent of this
suspension and its paralyzing effects
upon the labor and business of the
country. It has not yet reached it's full
proportions. The coming week will add
20, 900 men to the idle column. The
week following will bring greater &C.
cessions to our ranks. The movement
win continue to grow not only from the
point of number involved, but public
opinion will become crystallized more
fully and through the press Of the coun.
try win demand a solution of this great
difficulty" E .f1xs

his speech on the conference report. He
took up each schedule, explaining in de-
tail the changes made, and followed
closely the formal statement given out
by the committee.
Concerning the sugar schedule Mr..
Dingley read from the committee state
ment, adding brief comments. By the
new arrangement about $2,OOO,OOO in
crease of revenue would be realized, as
the increase had been placed on raw
sugars at the point where revenue
would be received, and at the same
time the beet sugar industry will re-
ceive substantial benefit
VIII Raise sa25, ,OOO, 900 Revenue.
The bill next year, he calculated,
would raise 1926, 700, 900, $4,000, 900
more than the present law. Over $4O,-
O0O, 900 had been lost in this years rev.
enues by the importations of wool,
sugar and other things, the duty on
which was raised on the bill. Mr..
Dingley declared that there was no
doubt that the revenue produced by the
bill would not only be ample to meet
the expenditures of the government,
but allow Republican administration
to begin again to pay off the principal
of the public debt, which had been in
creased by the late administration. In
conclusion Mr.. DinQley received round
