IN ANSWER AWAITED. Senate’s Ultimatum Presented on the Sugar Schedule. DOUBT AS TO HOUSE ACTION. Nome Members of the Conference Committee Ready to Accept the Latest Proposition Kat her Than Report a Second Disagreement — Others Standing Out—lnteresting Washington Budget. WASHINGTON, Aug. 4.—The understanding among the tariff conferrees when they adjourned late yesterday afternoon was that the session today should bring about either an agreement on the sugar schedule or a decision to report a disagreement, the ultimatum, of senate ( conferrees having been presented by Senator Smith, which is 40 per cent ad valorem on sugar alone, 10 per cent Dutch standard anti 40 on sugar above this grade, the duty on refined to be collected on the basis of the saccarine strength of the raw sugar used in it with 1-5 of a cent differential on the refined and a discriminating duty equal to the export duty levied by snCh sugar producing countries as pay a bounty on sugar production. Some of the house conferrees are favorably inclined toward the schedule, because they believe it defines exactly the extra duty to be paid on refined sugars and is free from the objection urged against the senate schedule—that owing to the wording of the schedule it was impossible to tell beyond the 1-8 of a cent differential what the duty would be on the refined article. They are of the opinion that the duty in the schedule will be confined to the 1-5 cent differential. It is understood, however, tfiat while inclined to accept these figures as the best they can get, and while considering that in this they secure an advantage over the senate schedule, they indicated a I desire to consider the question. A report received from an inside source is to the effect that some of the house conferrees found this schedule objectionable from several points of view', and when the time for adjournment was reached had not only failed to indicate a willingness to accept the schedule but had said that so far as they have been able to master its details they considered it unacceptable. It was this expression of opinion which leaves the situation in doubt and renders it possible that instead of an agreement being reached the result may be a disagreement. The pressure for a bill is so strong in the party, however, that the probabilities are all still favorable to an agreement on some line. OPERATION OF S LEEPINGCARS. House Committee Disposed to Report a Bill Changing the System. t Washington. Aug. 4.—The house committee on interstate and foreign commerce has been discussing the sleepingcar system. For a text it had Representative Bricktier’s bill, introduced during the Chicago strike, and which provides that alter Jan. 1. 1895, railroad companies engaged in interstate commerce shall own or control by lease all sleepingcars used on their roads, or branches operated or controlled by them, and fixing a penalty of 810 a day for failure'to comply in each case. Several members spoke in favor of the principles embodied in the bill. Members of the committee lielieve that a measure of that character will be reported which will include diningcars and all paltyiecars, but the time will doubtless be extended to 1896, with a view to giving companies time to adjust their business to the change. Maney Not to Be Reprimanded. Washington, Aug. 4.—Secretary Lamont has disposed of the case of First Lieutenant James Maney, tried by courtmartial as the result of killing Captain Hedberg at Fort Sheridan, near Chicago. The lieutenant had been previously acquitted by the civil courts on a charge of murder. The charge preferred before the court-martial was conduct unbecoming an officer in assaulting his superior officer. On this charge he was found guilty and sentenced to be publicly reprimanded. Secretary Lamont has indorsed upon the record of the court : “Disapproved by the department.” This finally ends the case and Lieutenant Maney will not be reprimanded nor will ho be again tried. Senate mill House. Washington, Aug. 4.—The last of the appropriations — the deficiency — was passed by the senate after an entire day’s discussion. The bills for the admission of New Mexico and Arizona to statehood were reported and placed on the calendar. The house discussed bills for classification of railway mail clerks aud clerks in the first and second class postoffiees, but neither w r as acted upon. The conference report on the river and harbor bill was agreed to without division. Mr. Blair of New Hampshire created something of a sensation by offering a resolution instructing the commissioner of labor to investigate the number and circumstances of southern lynchings. It went over and the house adjourned to Monday. Private Pension Bills For Hoosiers. Washington, Aug. 4.—Senator Turpie has introduced a bill granting a pension to Elizabeth New, widow of Jethro New,, late captain company D, Twenty-eighth Indiana. A favorable report has been made by Senator Palmer, chairman of the committee on pensions, upon the house bill granting a pension to Harriet R. Tate, widow of William S. Tate,, private company L, Thirteenth Indiana Getting Into the Unidn. Washington, Aug. 4.—The New Mexico and Arizona statehood bills were reported to the senate yesterday. In the case of New Mexico a constitutional convention is provided for on the second Tuesday in July, 1895. Arizona has already adopted a constitution and the bill in her case provides for admission on Aug. 1, 1895. _____ Peffer's Ariel Lands BBL , „ Washington, Aug. 4.—Senator Peffer has introduced a bill directing the secre-

tary of agriculture to construct reservoirs for the storage of water in the semi-arid states and appropriating |500,000. For Rivers and Harbors. Washington, Aug. 4.—The river and harbor appropriation bill was reported from the conferrees to both houses yester day and agreed to. As finally passed the bill carries |11.488,180, an increase of $1,919,491 from the house bill. Compromises were reached on 65 of the senate amendments, the senate receding from 20.

San Francisco, Aug. 4.—Word reaches hereof the arrival of the British steamer Cambrian Chief at Taltal. Chili. Weeks ago the vessel was reported lost, when Captain Thomas’ wife and child aud part of its crew were rescued by a boat from the British ship Dee. A second boat was sent for Captain Thomas and his crew, bnt in the darkness' this became lost by the Dee. The second chapter of this thrilling tale comes from Captain Thomas. He reports that the gallant rescuers from the Dee reached his vessel in safety. When the dawn came • and the Dee was nowhere in sight deI spair seized the little band of sailors. But finally, when the pumps were sounded and it was found the vessel was making very little water, hope returned. Jury masts were rigged and at last the Cambrian Chief was got under way. After many perils and approach to starvation Taltal was reached. HOLES TO THEIR STOMACHS. Novel Way of Feeding Two Children Similarly Affected. Baltimore. Aug. ’ 4. — Two little patients, after undergoing similar surgical operations made necessary by similar accidents, rest sice by side in the same bed at the Maryland university hospital. They are John West, aged 2 years, of Virginia, and Bryan Meyers, aged 4 years, of Baltimore. John West has not tasted foot for six weeks and Bryan Meyers has eaten nothing since last September. Each is fed through a hole cut in the side of the body to Isis stoinI ach. Tubes are passed into these openings and the food is poured through a funnel into the tnbes to the stomach. Both children accidentally ate some corrosive Ihue which they found at their homes on the floor. The lime caused a contraction of the esophagus, so that it is impossible for them to swallow anything. They may be cured. HIS BRIDfe HAS THE TRUNKS. ■ I Jeffersonville Postmaster Flee* Frotn Arrest While on a Wedding Tour. Cincinnati, Aug. 4—A special to The Enquirer from Mount Sterling. Ky., says that Postoffice Inspector W. F. Fletcher swore out a warrant for the arrest of Dr. J. L. Brown, postmaster at Jeffersonville, Ky., charging him with selling postage stamps at a discount, with embezzling postage stamps and with falsifying his cancellation of postage stamps. Dr. Brown was at Lexington on a bridal tour. An attempt was made to serve the warrant there, but he had disappeared, leaving his bride with his trunks. j ; Big Damage Demands Against Chicago.

Tim retunied Lcwistonian fell to talking over a revolver that he chrried in the arrest of ajlesperado in New Mexico, and then he diverged and told this story: “Once when we were going Jown in the Indian Terirtory as tve nxle out of the village we passed the house where a New Brunswick girl had just come to lite in the little prairie village. Th :re had Ihjcu considerable joking altont the new arrival, and as we passed she came out to hang up her washing on the line. I rode a little red pony—one that I had swapped a shotgun so when I saw the New Brunswick girl hang up a pair of the longest, biggest strijied stockings I had ever seen I rode right up into rhe yard and under the clothesline and seized those .stockings and palled ’em off the line and rode away. “All that trip doxvu across the hot plains and (Iyer the rustling buffalo grass the me about those stockings. I had put them-into my trunk and kept them. I don’t know what I took them for or why I kept them. “Well we got down into the territory and among the Indians. They are great gamblers, you know, and we bet with them everything we had. We raced and won from them all the money and blankets they possessed. “The blankets were United States army blankets, but we can use them by cutting out the ‘U. S. ’ At last we came down to foot runners, and the Indians brougth out their man. He xvas tall, broad chested and long limbed. He could go like the wind, and our best funner was nothing compared with him. Why, he was the best physical man I ever saw. He looked at our man, and his thick lip curled in derision. “ 'He no good—get a man!’ “The savage was stripped to his skin. I looked at pur man. “ ’Jake,’ I said, ‘you wait a minute. Then I went and got those stockings. When I brought them out, they created the biggest kind of a sensation, and the enftosity to touch them was something comical. “They jn. c t wonted to put their hands on them to sett what they were. “I did not let them satisfy their cui riositv, but carried them through the crowd as if they Avere only relics. i “ ’Jake, put those oiy and run Avith ■ them,’ I said. “ ‘Why, I can’t run Avith those on, ’ he said. “ ‘Yes, you can. Don’t you see that they are mystified?’ “He put them on, and though he Avas a large man they came clear to his hips. We pinned them up, and he started with the big Indian. It was plain by the faces of the greasers that they had lost all faith in their man :ls against the striped stockings. The Indian ran a little distance and then fell behind, Avith his eyes fixed in terror on those flying stockings. He Avas beaten. Ami do you know I sold those stockings to the Indian for five ponies and a rifle?” —Lewiston Journal. A Little “Ad." at the Picnic. Enterprise in advertising has almost become a fine art in the present day. Novelties are nor only numerous, but frequently unique. A Birmingham chemist recently, with his family, attended a picnic, and after the knife ami fork tea, which formed part of rhe programme. he distributed among the company a number of sweetmeats, all of which bore an advertisement, referring to his specialties, aud later durijig the concert Avhieh foiloAV: d his (laughter sang a song the Avon’s of which set forth the advantages which could be derived from the" use of certain pills, the i frequent application of a Aveli known | plaster or daily doses of some one’s toni ic.
