Mr. Dric** A);aiii InHintn That a N**w fllll H»h Agreed I'pou and Will IU^ Passed—Early Solution of the Problem Prodieted — Saloonist* Cannot It** I’oatmastera—Other N«*wh. Washington, May 8 —While the re- ' jiorts early in the day indicated that there mijLfht be some difficulty in agreeing njion a tariff bill, the conferences held by the leaders on the Democratic Bide of the senate during the afternoon seem to have been in the interest of harmony, and what lack of confidence there was among those who hoped to secure a compromise disappeared. Among those engaged in the conferences were Senators Jones, llriee, Gorman and Cockrell, while Senator Hill was present a^sirtion of the time. It is the opposition of the New York senator that has caused some trouble, and there are a number of senators who believe even now that Mr. Hill will not vote for the bill with the income tax provision, and it is almost as certainly understood that the income tax will remain. The senators who are engineering the compromise are counting on 411 Democratic votes, and believe they will be able to control that number. This indicates that they hope to pass the bill even with the opposition of Mr. Hill, and it also indicates that the bill has probably tieen made satisfactory in other respects to Senators Murphy of New York and Smith of New Jersey. Senator Brice is more outspoken than any of those who jiartieipated in the conference: “In an interview a few days ago 1 said a tariff bill had lieen agreed upon and would pass, and I now reiterate that statement. I will not say anything as to details. The statement made at that time was a great help in carrying the Third Ohio district by the Democrats, anil 1 now asse rt that what I then said was true and that a tariff bill will pass.'’ He would not say how many Democratic senators would vote
for it.
The fact that when Senator Squires finished his speech yesterday no effort was made to press the consideration of the tariff bill and that other matters were considered and an executive session held without opposition is taken to mean that the compromise is about completed. Late in the afternoon it was stated that the vigorous pressing of the tariff would be postponed until new amendments were reported, as it was underfitood that better arrangements can lie male for the consideration of the bill when the amendments are announced. It is then believed the Republicans will agree to some arrangements by which the consideration of the bill may proceed without resorting to harsh methods and will concede its passage if 48 Democratic votes are guaranteed. The asserti' in is made on good authority that by unanimous consent a day will lie fixed for a final vote upon the lull. A leading Democratic senator predicts that the bill will be disposed of before June 1.

May 8.—Congressman Brookshire of Indiana has introduced in the house of representatives a bill conIt*;^ templating changes in financial laws. It provides that no greenbacks shall be issued of a smaller denomination than $10 and that not more than one-fourth g of the amount of the circulation issued 1 to national banks shall be of a loss denomination that $1(1.

NKW POSTOFFHK Kl'I.K. Men HhvIiik IIiimIiicmh Ilenliiifr* With Sh loon* Cannot Become l*oHt niAMtora. Washington, May 8. — Postmaster Ktieneral Bissell has formulated a policy yof barring saloonkeepers and bartenders from appointment as iiostmasters. Where there are several candidates, the fact that any of them has dealings with saloons will be given weight. Mr. Bissell says be has reached the conclusion that the saloon is not a good place to educate a jierson for the transaction of postal business, though there is no iron•clad rule prohibiting the appointment of those who may have been connected with the liquor business. “It is not a temiierance question, nor a moral question; it’s a business question purely,” he says, “and the postoftic* department is a business institution. From my observation and experience I am convinced any man directly or indirectly interested in the liquor business is
I
in a measure unfitted by his occupation, and that his interest in that business necessarily interferes with a full and capable discharge of his official duties in any branch of the postal service.' Want* to Know Why Police I'seil Clolin. Washington, May 8.—Representative Tom Johnson of Ohio created a sensation of brief duration in the house yesterday by introducing a resolution calling for a congressional investigation of the beating of citizens by the police during the Coxey demonstration at the oapitol. He urged it as a auestion of privilege. Speaker Crisp ruled that the resolution did not present a question of personal privilege and ruled it out of order. Mr. Johnson asked unanimous consent to immediately consider the resolution, but there was a chorus of objections and it was thus summarily killed. Subsequently the house passed the bill to improve methods of accounting in the treasury. It reduces the clerks from 759 to 624 and effects a saving of $180,000. The river and harbor appropriation bill was then takeu up. Taylor a Cornet Player. Washington, May 8.—A corresisind t sends out this story on Representa o Taylor of the First Indiana district : i . Taylor is a cornet player and once enjoyed the distinction of leading a band. He acquired proficiency on the E-Hat in early vouth, when he resided with his parents in New York state. He bad more than the usual number of obstacles to overcome. An elderly and unappreciative widow, who lived next door, had him arrested on the charge of disturbing the neaee and quiet of the neighborhood. lie was fined $2. Mr. Taylor’s parents took a just pride in their son’s musical talents and determined to vindicate him. The case was appealed, and while it cost the elder Taylor something like $1,500, he ultimately won the suit. Ilatlit*r Dull In the Kenato. Washington, May 3.—The senate proceedings were rather dull yesterday, most of the afternoon being consumed by Senator Squire of Washington, who made a carefully prepared speech in general opjxisition to the tariff bill. Before he began Mr. Lodge of Massachusetts threw out some exasperqjing challenges to the Democratic sid#, which refused to be drawn into a controversy. Before the tariff bill was taken up Mr. Hoar tried to pass his antilottery bill, but it met with opposition on the ground that it would interfere with raffles and church fairs and ultimately went over without action.

STRUGGLES WITH POLICE.
and Stone* Hurled at OfHeer*, Who K<‘Hp«»nd With Mt-rcllenM I m* of Their Clubs— Three Separate Conflict*. Two Anarchist* Arrented Militia I'nder Arms at the Call of the Mayor. Cleveland, May 8.—The disorders
which began with the May day demonstration of the unemployed culminated yesterday in oja*n riots. There were three separate and bloody conflicts between the police and the rioters, and last night troops were under arms ready to respond tea call in case of an emergency.
The trouble began when a mob of
about 2,000 started to raid the factories on the flats and drive from work the men employed therein. The first attack was made at the Variety iron works. The windows of the factory were smashed with stones and bricks and the workmen fled in a panic. A force of 75 policemen was then called out. The rioters proceeded, however, to the Upson bolt works, where 1,500 men were induced to quit work before the officers
arrived.
KtrugKl* With Anar* hiKt*. When the police came upon the scene the men made a stand and hurled bricks and stones at the officers. Orders were given to charge them with clubs. The rioters ran like sheep at the first assault, but their leaders succeeded in rallying them upon the Abbey street viaduct, a bridge about 1,000 feet long. Squads of police coming up at both ends of the bridge penned in the crowd and they were forced to fight their way out. They made a rush for the officers, but at least a score of them were clubbed unmercifully before they finally succeeded in getting away. During this conflict two anarchists were arrested after terrific struggles on their part. One of them, Thomas Moore, an old man. was clubbed into submission and taken to the station in a patrol wagon, cursing the police and declaring that this was the happiest day in his life. The firmness of the police had a good effect, for it resulted in scattering the rioters in all directions. Mllititt Under Ann*. At the south end of the city at the same time a mob of 500 men drove the workmen away from the United States saltworks and were about to iiu-ke a raid upon the Cleveland rollingmills. They were met by Police Director Herbert and a -quad of 10 policemen, who clubbed them until they were glad to run. At least 30 were injured In this melee, but the mob was dispersed. Mayor Bloe has announced that no more rioting will he permitted. He issued a proclamation last night commanding people not to assemble on the streets, and at the same time he called upon the local militia to assemble in their armories and await his call. At least 500 men are under arms. MINING TIUHIH.ES.

CoLi MBis, O., May 3.—Charles Call of the executive board of the miners asaociation from Ohio returned to miners’ headquarters from Fairmont district, West Virginia, where he says he had difficulty in effecting an organization, the miners never having heard of the suspension.

AVALANCHE OF DGLLAR8. Mint Rmplnye* Narrowly Fscapr Hurt***! Under Ton* of Silver.
Philadelphia, May 8.—A portion of the 50,000,000 of dollars stored away in vault C at the mint came very close to being a cause of disaster to several clerks who wore counting the coin yesterday afternoon. The coin was piled up in bags to a hight of 12 feet and a width of eight feet. The vault is damp and the bags hail become moldy and frail. About 3 o'clock, as Wellington Morris, an employe, was standing on top of the pile raking in some loose dollars he trod into a bag, and the silver dollars at once began to slide out. Like a snowball on a mountain side the mass of silver dollars grew in size. There was an ominous rumble and the clerks at the foot of the pile looked up in surprise. Seeing the impending danger, a wild rush was made for the door. Dr. Caleb Whitehead, who represents the mint bureau, jumped over the scales at the moment when the dollars pm red down with a roar. F. A. Sartori and W. A. Bosbyshell. who are assisting in the counting, scrambled out in the nick of time. Serious injury to Morris was feared, but he succeeded in escaping un
hurt.
The impact of dollars shook the mint building as by an earthquake and intense excitement prevailed among the employes. It is estimated that the amount which fell was valued at fully $2,000,00 » aud weighed 112,000 pounds, WRECKED BY DYNAMITE
