Swift Doesn’t Know Jaxon. Washington, June 19.—Morrison I. Swift, of Fitzgerald’s Boston industrial army, appeared before the house committee on labor yesterday. Chairman McGann called his attention to a newspaper article which alleged that he had been connected with Honore Jaxon in an anarchistic plot. Swift laughed, said he had never met Jaxon but once and that had he known of any such plot he would have tried to prevent it. He advocated a reduction of hours of labor, government control of railroads, telegraph and mineSj and the colonization of city poor on public lands. Aug. 1 Fixed For Adjournment. Washington. June 19. —Two weeks will probably be taken --by the Democratic members of the conference committee to come to some understanding on the tariff bill after the senate finishes it, and three days is about all the time that will be required by both houses to approve the conference bill and send it to Mr. Cleveland for his signature. This would seem to show that the tariff bill is certain to became a law by July 15 pnd that congress will adjourn on Aug. at the latest. Slaughter Sale at Kern & llriltson’s 30d wtf

Tiyowra®. Senator Teller's Effort to Increase; tho Diamond Tariff. GOSSIP ABOUT THE MOVE. One Version Is That It It a ItetaliatorjAct Against the Hothsohlld,—Alleged Promise by Secretary Carlisle—Tariff Bill’s Free List—Sugar Inquiry—Other News. Washington, June 20.—At the re juest of Senator Teller yesterday his amendment to increase the duty on diamonds from 13 to 80 per cent ad valorem, which would restore the rate fixed by the house on the Wilson bill, was passed over. It will be considered again before the bill is reported to the senate. The New York Press this morning prints a London dispatch which says: Senators Teller’s proposed high tariff on diamonds is cansing a sensation here, where the Rothschilds have recently bonded £4,500,000 (nearly $20,000,000) of bonds for the South African diamond trust. Besides these bonds, the Rothschilds are known to be very largely interested in the stocks of the diamond trust. The proposed high tariff would produce a great fall in the value of the immense stock of unsold diamonds on hand and greatly reduce the dividends to holders of the trust’s stock, which for years past has been 25 per cent. A cable received by the officials of the trust from Premier Rhodes of the Cape i colony, it is stated, declares that Secretary Carlisle promised last March that I the senate would modify the high duty I put upon diamonds when the Wilson ' bill passed the house. Senator Teller’s amendment increasing ; the duty on diamonds to 30 per cent is regarded as a blow aimed by the leader of the American free silver men at the Rothschilds, the leading bankers in Europe, who did so much to maintain the single gold monetary standard. The i Colorado senator and ex-Speaker Reed i have considered various forms of disI criminating duties against those counI tries which oppose an international agreement for the freer use of silver.

Washington, June 20.—A Madrid dispatch says Spain wants a mixed commission to report on the American claim for $4,000,000. The claim is based upon the levying of extortionate duties and fines upon American merchants exporting to Cuba. The trouble arose from an erroneous translation of the commercial treaty, but the American contention is so clear that even the Spanish government has acknowledged its error. Therefore there does not appear to be any warrant for the appointment of a commission to clear up the error, and this proposition is very likely to be promptly rejected as merely one of the devices to stave off the inevitable day of repayment. Nicaragua Canal Bill, Washington, June 20.—Unsettled details of the Nicaragua canal bill, which will be reported to the house, were practically cleared up at a meeting of the subcommittee yesterday. There will be recommended a directorate of 11 members—eight government directors, one representative of the company, one from the government of Nicaragua and one from Costa Rica. Three government engineers will have charge of the work. It will be provided that dividends shall not exceed 5 per cent, so that a sinking fund may be established. The government's share of dividends will be credI ited to a sinking fund. Some members of the committee think the debt can. be raised in 25 years on the lines laid down. Congress, Washington, June 20.—After passing ‘. some unobjectionable bills the senate heard Mr. Allen in favor of a resolution directing Secretary Carlisle to inform , the senate of the number of persons emi ployed in protected industries. It went i over. In considering the free list of the , tariff bill numerous items were stricken 1 ‘Wm* <

The i house talked over the antioption bill. OPERATOR WOULDN’T TALK. Rcfuactl to Tell Office Secrets to Sugar Investigators—lndictments. Washington, June 20.—The grand jury of tho district will return indictments today against Correspondents Edwards anil ShriveT, the witnesses who refused to disclose confidential matters raw K. J. EDWARDS. to the sugar trust investigating committee. It is probable that Broker Chapman will not be indicted for several days, though it is barely possible that when the jury reports this afternoon three bills will be found. Lester S. Fisher, telegraph operator for Carson & McCartney, refused to answer questions as to whether he had wired orders for sugar stocks, and was excused after a brief examination. George W. Silsby, broker, and Captain Barnes, an attache of Senator Ransom’s committee rooms, refused to answer questions. Senator Davis was expected to make the report yesterday of the majority of the committee to certify Havemeyer and Searles to the district attorney,"but Senators Gray and Lindsay desired to present a minority report and the majority report has been withheld so that it might all be made a once. Senators Gray and Lindsay think the questions which Havemeyer and Searles refused to answer are not pertinent. Washington, June 20. —Representative Breckinridge of Kentucky will leave tomorrow for another campaigning trip in Kentucky. The deficiency bill which he reported Monday will be taken up the latter part of the week. He has received a poll of the Democratic voters in Henry county, showing a safe majority for him. This adds to the confidence he has heretofore expressed as to his nomination. Low Gold Reserve. Washington, June 20.—The cash balance in the treasury last evening was $114,021,047, of which $68,423,623 was gold reserve. Engagements for export will reduce this to $66,923,423. This is within a small amount of the lowest point reached previous to the last bond issue. > Public Building For Indianapolis. Washington.

Incompetent Surgeon Responsible For Remarkable Conduct at Sea. San Francisco, June 20.—The British bark Inverine, Captain Wilcox, arrived yesterday, 64 days from New Castle, N. S. W., with a most remarkable story of mutiny and crime. Juet before the vessel 16ft New Castle a man calling himself Dr. Armitage applied for passage for himself and wife. Willcox gladly took them on board, as his own wife needed the services of a physician. About two wesks ago at sea Mrs. Wilcox gave birth to a child and Armitage officiated as surgeon. He used instruments in such a manner that the child died and the captain, seeing that he was unskilled, ordered him away from his wife. Armitage appealed to the crew, telling them that the captain was killing his wife. The crew, led by the mate, mutinied and the captain, after being drugged, was locked up. He managed to get out just in time to see his wife die. Several times he was imprisoned by the crew, but he managed to break out. Armitage’s real name is Eustace Alexander. The bark, crew and passengers are now in the custody of the port warden and the police made arrests yesterday afternoon. Captain Wilcox says: “On Monday, the 11th inst.. the mutineers brought the body of the dead baby to the door and held it up at the grating for me to look at. A few hours later they dropped it overboard. On last Saturday thoy came to me and said that if I WQuld forgive them and promise to make no report against them they would let me out. I agreed and they set me at liberty. I at once went to my poor wife. When I reached her side she was unconscious and at 6:30 Saturday night she died.” PRIEST KNOCKED DOWN.

Reading, Pa., June 20.—While a funeral was in progress yesterday in St. Mary’s Polish Catholic church in this city the priest, Father Januskowicz, requested all those present who were in arrears to the church to leave the sanctuary. About 150 of the congregation arose and, after knocking the priest down, left the house of worship, taking; the corpse with them. It was afterward buried with brief services at the grave. New York, June 20.—Another sensational witness was before the Lexow police investigating committee yesterday.
