the Measure. ,~

WASHINGTON, July 2l.-The indica-
lions are that a vote will, be reached
upon the conference report on the tariff
bill within couple of days, or at the
latest before the close of the week.
There may be change in the condi-
tions Which will postpone a vote, but it
is difficult to see what could cause IT..
The opposition to the bill realize that
there is no possibility of preventing the
adoption of the report and their present
purpose is only to secure what advan-
tage they can by exhibiting what they
claim are the Inconsistencies OF the
measure. A thorough canvass reveals
that the Republicans will
Vote solidly for the Report,
and that they will be supported by
Messrs. Jones of Nevada ISL. Rep. and
McEnery of Louisiana dem. and also
probably by Messrs. Mantle and Stew.
art ISL. Reps.). They have also discov-
cred that Senator Kyle (Pop.), who is
absent, has left strict instructions that
he should not be paired. With the
adoption of the report thus assured, the
Democrats probably will not attempt to
prolong tho debate beyond the arrival OF
Mr.. Turley, the new senator from Ten
ncssec. They will continue to ask tor
all explanation of changes made by the
conference but these will not occupy q
great deal OF time.

the miners are out on a strike for

that there will be little to do for some
months following the strike, owing to
the large stocks being laid in.
The Westmoreland operators are re-

more coal was shipped from the mines
in Westmoreland county last week
than was sent out during the previous
two months. Three.fourths of this is
going into the Pittsburg and Western

marches in the big labor day parade
must wear union made shoes with the
union label imprint on the sole. A
committee has been appointed to in

The action to this effect was taken at

Jones of the Boot and Shoe Workers
Union of America.
Mr.. Jones demanded that the shoe
makers label be given the same recogni.
tons as the printers, cigarmakers, coop
ers and horseshoers copyrighted devices.
He argued that the labor leaders had de-
cided that no horses shall be ridden in
the parade which are not shod with
union made horseshoes bearing the
journeymen horseshoer's label, and fol-
lowing the same line, he declared the
men must also be union shod.

Thinks Boy Orator VIII be President If
Good Times Fail to Materialize.
LONDON, July S.-The Daily Graphic
today publishes an interview with Dr.
Chauncey NJ. Depew, in which he says:
Organism is only another name for
discomfort with existing conditions.
For three years the American farmer
has had no paying market for his pro-
duce or live stock. Miners and manu-
facturers have had a tentative and
spasmodic, but not regular business,
and labor has found no steady employ
ment.
This gave an opportunity for new
men with new fads to say that they had
a patent remedy or financial cure, all
of which will start the wheels of in
dustry, give good markets and full en-
ployment. Organism represents this
alleged cure and hope. 1t was defeated
by campaign of education and pro-
mise of prosperity with the new admin
istration and protective tariff; also
stability in currency. The disappear
ance of Organism in the year 1900, at
the next presidential election, depends
upon the fuIfillment of these promises
If we get the promised legislation and
then have good times, Organism is
dead. If we do not, then there will be
such an increase of uneasiness and dis
content as will sweep the country for
Mr.. Bryan or some other experimenter
with financial and industrial theories. !"

THE SILVER QUESTION.
France tos Co Operate with Unitet
States I'm the Negotiations

France to Co Operate With United
States I'm the Negotiations
NEW YORK, July S.-A dispatch to
the Tribune from London says:
Three special ENJOYS sent by the
United States to negotiate with the
European powers for a settlement of
the silver question on international
lines have two embassies behind them
in place of one. They have produced
so good an impression upon the
French Government during their stay
in Paris that the French embassy in
London has been instructed to coop
crate with the American embassy at
such conferences and negotiations as
may be conducted with the British
Government. 1t has been known that
NJ Meline and the French Ministry are
outspoken in expressing their sympa-
thy for the object of their mission,
and the promising of their concurrence
would not be wanting for the triumph
of the cause of national bi-metallism
on international lines, but it has not
been suspected that the French Gov
eminent would be prepared to lend
diplomatic, as well as moral support,
to this movement of the Mckinley ad-
ministration in favor of bi-metallism.
Nevertheless, it is true that the en-
voys, in their negotiations with the
foreign Office and the chancellor of the
exchequer, have the hearty co-opera-
ton of the French and American en-
bassies. What was originally an eff
fort on the part of the Mckinley adj
ministration to carry out the pledges
of the Republican platform respecting
bi-metallism, grounded upon the inter-
national agreement, has become al
ready joint movement on the part OF
| the United States and France to bring
| about settlement of the monetary
question through the action of new
conference. France is the natural ally
of the United States in this movement
because she has greater interest than
any other European state in bi-metal'
ism The Bank of France contains il
its vaults 1855, 100000 in silver, which
has been withdrawn from circulation
Both Governments have common in
terest in an adjustment of this none
tary question, which has caused dis
turbance throughout the commercial
world. They are naturally supportin.
each other in the negotiations nov
opening in London.
