OHICAGO elevator- men are reported as determined to withdraw from the Board of Trade and form a new association of their own if the .Board insists upon the enforcement of the vote preventing the mixing of grain or the buying and selling of it toy elevator proprietors.

CHAUNCEY M. DEPEW has been interviewed on the subject of hot weather and his recipe for keeping cool may be epitomized as follows: "Keep heating topics out of the mind and hot things out of your insides, and above all never look at the thermometer or discuss the subject of exceptional heat with any one."

COOK'S Arctic Excursion from New York touched at St. John's, N. jE\, July 15, and took on board an experienced arctic navigator. The party is doubtless "on ice" by this time. This information is given with the hope that the thought of thelucky people who are now sailing amidst unnumbered ice bergs may help us all to keep cool.

IN the winter there are no less than four hundred regularly organized theatrical companies in the United States that travel from one place to another. Less than fifty of these are at this time on the road. It has been estimated by a competent authority that no less than 8,000 theatrical people are now out of emplo\rment. Of this number at least 5,000 are stranded in New York city without money and, without prospect of anything until the •season opens.

IT will hardly cause widespread sorrow to descend like a pall," etc., over the entire country, yet it may be of passing interest to note that a tremendous storm swept over Newport, R. I., July 14, wrecking villas, "cottages," hot houses, conservatories and all the festive structures of that swell resort in a manner never before equaled. The storm seems to have been somewhat of a respecter of persons, however, for we are told that the properties of the Astors and Vanderbilts escaped •without injury. This again exemplifies the "luck" which "shapes our ends, rough hew them as we will." The quotation calls it "divinity," but the proper rendering of the truism should just be plain "luck," without which no man ever achieved fame or fortune.

THE constant drafts of the royal family on Scotland Yard for special police to guard the various members of the reigninghouse whenever they see fit to travel has reduced that noted headquarters to desperate straits of late, and the most urgent appeals have been made for an increased force. At least a dozen officers accompany the Prince of Wales when he leaves London. The Queen and the Russian Czarovith, now visiting in England, the Duke of Coburg and other digntiaries are said to have required so many special de1tectives on the 12th inst., because of the great military review at Aldershot, that London was absolutely denuded of its detective force for thirty -six hours. It was a golden opportunity for anarchists, but they failed to "catch on." It is said that the French detective force is five times as numerous as the English staff. ________

Poisonous potatoes —Last season wa,9 a very peculiar one for all vegetable growths, and the result of this is strikingly seen in its effects on the quality of potato raised in some localities. *. These ppear all right to the eve, but when cooked are found not only to bo deficient in the dryness find good flavor wo 80 highly esteem in this vegetable. but they have a bitter taste in the I mouth and eauso a burning, or a smarting sensation in the throat.

When such results follow from eating them, we may be sure that a poisonous element 'has been developed, in the tubers, an-3 they are no longer lit for hea'ihful human food.

Later the press representatives were invited to return, but declined.

A cable from London July 27, savs: Lloyd's agent at Shanghai confirms the announcement that war has been declared between China and Japan. lingland is in sympathy with China. Hostilities have occurred but details have not been received. Tho immediate ?ause of the declaration of war is said to be tho fact that as exclusively announced by the Associated Press on July 24, the Japanese attacked the Chinese transports, conveying troops to Korea. In this engagement at least one Chinese transport was sunk by a Japanese cruiser. But it would now seem that the fighting between the Chi nese and Japanese war ships was much more serious than at first announced, as is rumored in Anglo-Chinese circles here that the Chinese have already suffered very heavy loss, and it is believed that a number of Chinese ships have been sunk by the Japanese cruisers.

A cable from Shanghai. July 29th, says that details have reached that city of the naval engagement in which a Japanese cruiser sunk the Chinese transport, Tho fighting, though of si duration, was very severe. One of the Japanese war ships got within a comparatively short! distance of the transport Kow Shing, and discharged a torpedo at her. The missile was well directed, and struck the transport fairly. A terrific explosion followed and the Kow Shing began at once to fill. Prior to the discharge of the torpedo the crew of the transport, which was armed, and the military force on board of her made a hard fight against the attacking! force. Many of those on board: were shot dead on her deck. Nearly two thousand lives were lost. The Chinese official account of the recent engagement between Chinese and Japanese war ships says that the Chinese ironclad Chen-Yeun, which is one of tho largest vessels of her class, belonging to the northern lleet, retreated to Kotse and

ports escaped. News has been received here that on the same day the naval cngagemens took place the Jap troops ashore attacked the Chinese at Asan. No details of the att'ick have been received. The British twin-screw cruiser Porpoise has sailed hence to protect the British at Clie Foo, on the Sham Toong promontory, a health resort of foreigners. The principal division of the Chinese reinforcements sent from Tacu has reached its destination safely.

II I alone were concerned in this matter I would permit no defense to be made in my behalf, for 1 consider it an honor to be in contempt of the court that is going to try me."

THE WISCONSIN FIRES.

b«l»Ui of th« Destruction of the Town of Phillips.

The terrible scene at Phillips, Wis., beggars all description. The blackened faces of those who fought to save their homes Btare with bloodshot eyes at the heaps ol ruins which mark their once happy homes, Not since the terrible forest fires that destroyed Peshturo has anything occurred which will compare with the scene oi ruin. Men and women walk the streets all begrimed, wringing their hands and bemoaning their sad fate. A town hall and a few small buildings are all that are left standing. They were immediately converted into shelter for tho destitute, but only a few of tho women and children could crowd into them. It is a remarkable coincidence that all of the terrible fires in northern Wisconsin have occurred July 27. It was on July,27,1392, that Iron River, in the extreme northern part of Wisconsin, was totally wiped out by the flames and all the State responded promptly to the call for aid. Filield, another sawmill town, was almost totally wiped out by fire July 27. 1893, and now comes the total destruction of Phillips on Friday. July 27, 1894. Gov.

The Chicago Record is authority for tho statement that if the negotiations now pending are carried to a successful termination the striking car builders at Pullman will quit the "model town" in a body and become the employes of a powerful corporation organized for the manufacture of palace and freight cars and day coaches. For more than a week secret communications have been passing between the agent of the corporation in Chicago and the strikers' central committee. All the offers to the men are in writing, signed by a man of wealth and prominence in the business circles of the city. The names of a number of capitalists who are connected with the enterprise are also mentioned to give the communications greater weight. The names of those back sf the offer to the strikers will be made public in a week or two, but at present the members of the central committee at Pullman are silent. It is thought that the corporation conducting the negotiations is identified with the, one which filed articles with the Illinois Secretary of State \arly last week. It has a capitalization of *5,000,0j0 and its works will be located at •it. Louis. Much of the money back of die enterprise has been subscribed by Eastern and English capitalists.

Kelly's men averred that their leader had drifted away several days •igo, and that'they did not expect to see liim again, while Fry's men said their leader had probably abandoned them.

FIFTY-THIRD CONGRESS.

In the Senate, Wednesday, Mr. Vest, in the absence of Mr. Voorhees, who is quite sick, called up the conference report on the tariff bill and immediately yielded tho floor to Mr. Coke, of Texas, who secured the passage by unanimous consent of a bill relating to the Arkansas, Texas & Mexican railway company's right-of-way •through tho Indian Territory. At 1:05 Mr, Caffery took the floor and resumed,^ his speech he began Tuesday afternoon. Mr. Caffery plunged immediately into the discussion of the complicated methods of refining sugar in Louisiana, which sugar went into competition with the sugars refined by the trust. He contended that the bounty provision of the McKinley law prevented the extensive refining of sugar by the producers. He maintained that a fair ad valorem rate of 42 per cent. .. would furnish sufficient protection both to the producer and the refiner. lie predicted that the Louisiana cane grower, with the new facilities. coining into use, would, in a decade, be able to hold his own against the sugary producers of the world. Louisiana, he said, was a Democratic state and did not desire to stand in the way of tariff reform but he insisted that in marching to the goal of tariff reform his party should not trample the form of his prostrate State.

He would not foul his own nest. He also entered an emphatic protest against the provision in the sugar schedule uoutinuine in force the Hawaiian treaty, admitting sugar from those islands free, which he .-•aid gave the sugar trust ?.i.000.000 annaally. ''As a loyai Democrat, the position I have been obliged to take has almost torn my heart out. but if the alternative comes, my allegiance, to my State is paramount." At 2:23 the Senate went into executive session and an hour later adjourned. J"

In the Senate, Thursday. Senator Vilasoccupied nearly the entire session in a. defense of the President's course on tho tariff question. Mr. Stewart spoke briefly 011 the prerogatives of Congress and the executive and accused the President with* trifiiug with the question. When Mr. Stewart concluded the President protein, announced the question to be oh Mr. Hill's resolution that the Senate recede from its amendments making coal and iron ore dutiable at 40 cents a ton. Mr, Hill demanded a division of the question, so tho vote was first taken on iron ore. The Republicans, except Mr. Hansbrough, of North Dakota, voted with the Democrats, and the first half of the resolution was lost—0 to 05. Mr. Washburn. Republican, of Minnesota, then submitted a motion to instruct the Senate, conferees to recede from that portion of the sugar schedule placing the cent differential on sugars above sixteen Dutch standard. Mr. Gray, Democrat, of Delaware, made the point of order against the motion that it was incompetent for the Senate to instruct its conferees in a "full and free" conference to insist, 011 or recede from any particular amendment. Mr. Hale contended that an instruction to the conferees to recede from an amendment put 011 the bill by the Senat am el on re I would simply eliminate the subject of difference. Mr. Mills, Democrat, of Texas, bolstered Mr. Gray's point of order with another, that the Senate could not recede from a portion of an amendment, and that, therefore, the Senate could not instruct its conferees to do that which it could not do itself. Mr. Gorman maintained that the conferees could not be instructed. Without deciding the point of order, tho Senate, at 5:43 o'clock, adjourned. 6 At Friday's session of the Senate, bad blood and temper grew out of Mr. Blackburn's charge that the lleoublicans were trying to delay action on the appropriation bills. Messrs. Dubois aud Manderson. were especially incensed at this, each charging Mr. Blackburn with bad faith in receding from amendments they had offered. The conference report on thetariff bill was called up by Mr, Jones. The pending question was the decision of the chair 011 the points of order raised by Mr. Quay and Mr. Mills against Mr. Washburn's motion to instruct the Senate conferees to recede from the one-eighth of 1 per cent, differential 011 sugar, 10 Dutch standard. Mr. Manderson was immediately recognized, and proceeded to argue against the point of order upon which somuch hinged. Mr. Piatt followed in opposition to tho point of order. An exj. tended debate followed. When a vote was. reached the result was announced—yeas 32, nays 32. The motion to lay on the table being lost on the tit vote, the vote reverted to the main question—that 0:. sustaining the decision of the chair. The roll was called amid the most intense excitement. It 1 also result! 32 to 32, and, according to parliamentary usage, was declared lost. This vote was identical with its predecessor. The decision of the chair was therefore not sustained, and the motion of Mr. Washburn to instruct the conferees to recede from the Senate amendment was in order. There were loud cries ""?oti\" "vot"'' from Mr. Aldrich and other Kep!'''h'ans. Consternation was written on tho faces of many Democrats. A vote on the motion to instruct the conferees to recede, resulted in another tie. Mr. Gorman imm. diately called fora vote on the resolution to agree to the request of the lliu- for further conference, but it was agreed to w'thout division. Then ii.scene of inextricable confusion followed. The Democrats wrung each other's hands enthus a'-t,'.c i!ly. Th ur c.iileasrues» from the other end of the capitol rushed down the aisl-'S an I congratulated them on the victory. Tho spectators in the galleriestx realizing that the tension was over, drew along br.-ath and filed out. From the press gallerv it looked as if the Senatehad adjourned. After order was restored Mr. (Jnay secured recognition. Hedrew a huge pile of manuscript from hi» desk and said he de.-ired to make some observations on the metal Schedule for •the benefit of the conferees. The pros-. ncct of another installment of Mr. Quay'a:~£ speicil appalled the Senate and leave to.-^ print was hurriedly granted to him.
