\ lot of "fscts" that are untrue, seek
ing to show the Weiser river railway
route to DO bad and the Snake river

had a competent engineer survey the
Snake route, said engineer having
spent solid six months on 1856 miles
OF the river Drowning several men,
and he is pretty thoroughly posted
on the same. The engineer referred

LAY 1T TO THE SPEAKER.
Mr.. Reed Blamed For the Tariff Con-
ference Deadlock.

Washington, July 14.-The conferees on
the tariff bill found themselves today ap-
parently further apart than they were at
the beginning Of the conference There
was no immediate prospect of agreement
and more than one member stated that
the entanglement was such that the
settlement might be Indefinitely pro
longed. Sugar is still the principal con-
tention. The best reports represent the
House conferees, with Speaker Reed be-
hind them as holding out for the House
sugar schedule without change whatever
and the Senators are quite determined
not to yield to this extent. The Hou Sc
conferees insist that this schedule must
be definitely fixed before other questions
shall be again taken up. One Of the
others questions Of secondary Importance
upon which sharp differences have arisen
is the Senate amendment for stamp tax
on stocks and bonds. The House is also
resisting strenuously the twenty per cent
duty placed upon hides.
The Senate conferees are disposed to re-
sent the efforts of Speaker Reed to in
fuence the action of the conferees. The
Senators are inclined to construe the
Speakers participation in the proceedings
as unwarranted, and are apparently more
determined than before his attitude was
made known to hold out of the Senate
figures.

WILL REPORT HAWAIIAN TREATY.
Little or No Opposition in Senate Foreign
Relations Committee.

Washington, July 14.-The Senate COM
mittee on foreign relations agreed today
to report resolution for the rati fication
of the Hawaiian annexation treaty with
out amendment
OF the eleven members of the commit
tee only seven were present. Those were
Messrs. Davis, Cullom, Foraker, Clark,
Morgan, Turpie and Daniel and of these
all but Messrs. Turpie and Daniel cast
their votes for the resolution of ratifca-
tion. Senator Frye's vote was also cast in
that interest by Senator Davis, Mr.. Frye
having left instructions to this effect.
Senators Daniel and Turpie did not
take a positive stand in opposition to the
treaty but both expressed the opinion that
it was not expedient nor consistent with
the vast Importance of the subject that
the treaty should be pressed to immediate
consideration, and that if the Senate was
not to take the subject up at the present
session, the better course would be to
leave it in committee until the Senate
should be prepared to proceed with its
consideration.
Senator Turpie expressed himself as in
clined to favor the treaty, but said that
he Thought it should be amended. He,
however, withheld his amendments upon
the suggestion that the majority would
consider it preferable to have the amend
ments offered in the Sena to.
There was a general understanding that
the committee should make no effort to
secure the consideration OF the treaty
during the present session.

Yesterdays Doings of tho House.

Washington, July 14-When the House
resumed its session today after the recess
taken yesterday, Mr.. Henderson Republi-
can of Iowa, asked consent for the con-
slderation of q joint resolution to permit
the erection of temporary studio on the
| future site Of the statue of Gen. Sherman
Tor the erection Of which contract has
been made. There was no objection and
the resolution was adopted.
| MIR. Cannon moved non-concurrence in
the Senate amendments to the general de-
f1ciency bill which came over from the
Senate today.
Mr.. Morris, Republican of Minnesota,
asked unanimous consent for the con
sideration of resolution to appropriate
$40, 600 of the expended balance of the ap-
preparation for the Mississippi flood
| sufferers for the relief of those who have
been rendered destitute by the recent
floods near Aiken, MINI.
i Mr.. Powers, Republican of Vermont,
objected
| Subsequently Mr. Powers withdrew his
| objection which was however, renewed
by Mr.. Simpkins, Republican of Massa-
chusetts.
Mr. Perkins, Republican of Iowa,
asked for the consent for the considera.
tion of a resolution to print additional
copies OF the temporary rules Of the fifty
| fifth House.
Mr. Simpson, Populist Of Kansas, called
attention to the fact that Mr. Henderson
| at the opening of the session, had an
nounced that within thirty days COM
plete revision of the rules would be sub
mitted to the House. Where was that re.
port, he asked. Any how he said, the
House seemed to have little use for set
of rules. This remark caused some merri-
ment. Finally Mr.. Bailey objected to the
publication of the temporary rules.
The House then adjourned until tomor-

death. He said the Alabama Senatoe
sought to convey the impression that the
agreement was the result of some
questionable scheme in which the late
resident of the United States and thr
Attorney General participated with thei-
authorities, Ml but as matter of fact, Mr..
alnurston declared the proposition came
from from the governments counsel, ex-Gov.
ihisoadley, who solie tied from General Fitz-
gerald of the Pacific railroad reorganiza-
Ilon committee that a guaranty be given
as to the minimum amount of the bid for
the government lien.
In closing Mr.. Thurston stated that
!i no opposition except in the way of mega
i've votes would be made to the Harris
resolution tomorrow, but he expressed
doabI whether the negative votes would
pc sufficient to defeat the resolution. He
ffelt, fe, however. that its adoption would de-
Ieat the guaranty and prevent the govern
ment from ever getting within one half
OF one-third as much as the guaranty
would yield. The subject then went over
and at five O'Clock the Senate went into
executive session and then adjourned.

The Midsummer Windstorm Con.
tiuued Through Yesterday.
RAIN CAUSED BIG RISE IN
MAINE RIVERS.
Log Booms Break on the Kennebec-
Crops Submerged in Franklin County
AN Old Mill Blown Down at Mechanic
Falls-The Storm in Other States.

| Augusta, July 14.-The wind which
has been blowing heavily here for the
past two days from the south and east,
developed into gale this morning, of a
velocity of from 40 to 80 miles an hour
and by some estimated higher. Great
damage has been done to trees in this sec
tion. One fell upon house, knocked a
chimney to pieces, the falling bricks just
missing woman at work in her garden.
The river is at freshet height and the
Augusta. Lumber Co. lost number of
loads by the breaking of it's boom. It is
thought that they may be recovered. A
jam which formed sometime ago at the
bridge, was released by the swollen wat
ers and en- masse, fell upon the boom,
tearing part Of it away.
News has reached here by telephone
that the Carrabassett river, tributary
of the Kennebec, is higher than ever
known before, which can only be account
ed for by cloudburst in the mountains.
A boom at Augusta above the dam, con-
tanning million and half of lumber,
broke Wednesday morning and the logs
| went down river Wednesday forenoon,
the lumber floating down into the Hal
lowell boom.
| A portion of the Augusta Lumber Com
pany's boom. opposite the city, was car
ried away and 500 sticks floated down.
Weston's boom at Skowhegan contain
ing 12,oo0, 900 feet, broke Wednesday morn
ing the timber coming down into booms
below, which thus far are holding fast.
| This is a serious time for freshet, as
the Kennebec drive is we'll advanced and
the booms are covered with lumber.
