A STIR IN THE SENATE. Created by a Letter to Chairman Wilson From ithe President Indorsing the Host# Tariff BUI—Both Bodies Determine*! that No Compromise Shall be SobmIt ted To—The Better. Washington. July 30.—From talks with senators, the indications are that the president’s letter to Mr. Wilson will precipitate an animated discussion on the floor of the senate to-day. There will be no limit to the debate, and before the consideration of the conference report its an incidental and the letter as the main subject is over, some very plain language, it is asserted, will be used by some of the senators who have been designated as the “conservatives.” It is also said that three of these senators will make their replies when Mr. Yeorhees calls up the report immediately after the reading of the journal today. These three are Senators Smith, Gorman and Brice. Mr. Hill will also speak. Mr. Smith, if the rumors about him be true, will make a speech in which he will warn the conferees that they have violated the faith placed in them trhen they receded from the senate amendments and agreed, as has been reported, that they would accept the house schedules on woolens, cottons, etc. He will outline the situation as he sees it and will, it is said, in his conclusions, tell the senate, the president, the country and the house of representatives that thej' can accept the senate bill or no bill at all so far •s his vote is concerned.

Mr. Gorman, who was m close conference with Mr. Jones and Mr. Murphy all the afternoon, went home as soon as the senate adjourned. It is said that he, too, will echo the sentiments that Mr. Smith will utter, and will warn the house that if it persists in the course adopted by it to-day, it will end in defeating a bill which is for the best interests of the whole country, and which was the produet of very serious attention on the part of the senate, and formulated as the only bill that could hope to meet with success. Mr. Gorman, if the statements of his friends mean anything, is more firmly grounded in his original plan than ever. Mr. Hr ice will have a few words to say about the senate bill, in which he, too, will join his colleagues in letting the country know that it is the senate bill, and not the house bill, that is to ultimately become the law of the land. There was a rumor about last night that the sfenate democrats were now declaring that their bill should pass without the dotting of an T or the crossing of a “tL,” but one of the conservatives denied this, saying that there were many items in the senate bill upon which concessions would be made, but that in the main the senate idea of a tariff should prevail or there would be no bill; with this the idea also prevails in the sen - ate that the bill will not be defeated. Mr. Gorman, with-some indignation, last night denied the story that had been circulated to the effect that he had surrendered coal and' had given his consent that it should go back to the free list. TUB PRESIDENT'S LETTER. [Personal,] Executive Mansion, £ Washington, July 3,1894. j Xi7'o Hon. Wm. I,. Wiktm: “My Dea& Sir—The certainty that a conference will he ordered bet ween the two houses of congress for the purpo«>e of adjusting difference on the subject of tariff legislation, makes it also certain that you will be again called upon to do hard service in the cause of tar: ff reform.

“My public life has been so closely related to the subject, 1 have so longed for its accompL vhment, and I have so often promised i^s realization to ray fellow-countrymen as a result of their (rust and confidence in the democratic party, I hope no excuse is necessary for my earnest a ppeal to you that in this crisis you strenuouly insist upon party honesty and good faith and a stuidv adherence to democratic principles I believe these are absolutely necessary conditions to the continuation of democratic existence. “I can not rid myself of tho feeling that this conference will present the best if not the only hope of true democracy. Indications point to its ac tion as the reliance of those who desire the genuine fruition of democratic effort, the fulfillment of democratic pledges and the redemption of democi*atio promises to the people. “T# reconcile differences in the details comprised within the well-defined lines of principle, will not be the sole task of the conference, but as it seems to me, its members will also have in charge the question Whether democratic principles themselves are to be saved or abandoned. “There is no excuse for mistaking or misapprehending the feeling and the temper of the rank and file of the democracy. They are downcast under the assertion that their party fails in ability to manage the government and they are apprehensive that efforts to bring about tariff reform may fail; but they are much mt>re downcast and apprehensive in their fear that democratic principle may be surrendered. “In these circumstances they can not do otherwise than to look with confidence to you and those who with you hare patriotically and sincerely championed the cause of tariff reform within democratic lines and guided by democratic principles. This confidence . is vastly augmented by the action under your leadership-of the house of representatives upon the bill now ]>ending. “Every true democrat and every sincere tariff reformer knows that this bill in its presents form, and as it will be submitted to the conference, falls far short of the consummation for which we have long labored, for which we have suffered defeat without discouragement; which m its anticipation gave ui % rallying cry in our day of triumph*

and which in its promise of accomplishment is so interwoven with democratic pledges and democratic successes that our abandonment of the cause of the principles upon which it rests means party perfidy and party dishonor. One topic will be submitted to the conference which embodies democratic principles so directly that it can not be compromised. We hare in our platforms and in every wajy pos- ible declared in favor of the free importation of raw materials. We have again and I again promised that this should be accorded to our people and our manufacturers as soon as the democratic party was invested with the power to determine the tariff policy of the country. The party has now that power. We are as certain to-day as we have ever been of the great benefit that would accrue to the country from the inauguration of this policy, and nothing has occurred to release us from obligation to secure this advantage to our people. It must be admitted that no tariff measure can accord with democratic principles and promises to bear a genuine democratic badge that does not provide for free raw materials. “In these circumstances it may well excite our wonder that democrats are willing to depart from this, the most democi-atie of all tariff principles, and that the inconsistent absurdity of such a proposed departure should be emphasised bv the suggestion that the wool of. the farmer be put on the free list and the protection of the tariff taxation be placed around the iron ore of corporations and capitalists. How can we face the people after indulging in such outrageous discriminations and violations of principle? “It is quite apparent that this question of free raw material does not admit of adjustment of middle ground, since their subjection to any rate of tariff

taxation, great or small, is alike a violation of democratic principle and democratic good faith. “I hope you will not consider it intrusive if I say something in relation to another subject, which can hardly fail to be troublesome to the conference. I refer to the adjustment of tariff taxation on sugar. “Under our party platform and in accordance with our declared party purposes, sugar is a legitimate and logical article of revenue taxation. Unfortunately, however, incidents have accompanied certain stages of the legislation which will be submitted to the conference that have aroused in connection with this subject a natural democratic animosity to the methods and manipulations of trusts and combinations. I confess to sharing in this feeling; and yet it seems to‘ me we ought, if possible, to sufficiently free ourselves from prejudice to enable us coolly to weigh the considerations which in formulating tariff legislation ought to guide our treatment of sugar as a taxable article. “While no tenderness should be entertained for trusts, and while I am decidedly opposed to granting them, under the guise of tariff taxation, any opportunity to further their peculiar methods, I suggest that we ought not to be driven away from the democratic principle and policy which lead to the taxation of sugar, by the fear, quite likely exaggerated, that in carrying oqt this principle and policy we may indirectly and inordinately encotirage a combination of sugar refining interests. I know that in present conditions this is a delicate subject and 1 appreciate the depth and strength of the feeling whieh its treatment has aroused. I do not believe we should do evil that good may come, but it seems to me that we should not forget that our aim is the reduction of the tariff and i^ taxing sugar for proper purposes and within reasonable bounds, whatever else may be said of our acts, we are in no danger of running counter to democratic principle. With all there is at stake there must be in the treatment of this article some ground upon which we are all willing to stand, where toleration and conciliation may be allowed to solve the problem, without demanding the entire surrender of fixed and conscientious

convictions. “I ought not to prolong this letter. If what I have written is unwelcome, I beg you to believe in my good intentions. “In the conclusions of the conference ’ touching the numerous items which will be considered, the people are not afraid that their interests will not be neglected. They know that the general result so far as they are concerned will be to place home necessaries and comfort more easily within their reach, and to insure better and surer compensation to those who toil, “We all know that a tariff covering all the vuried interests and conditions under a country as vast as ours must, of necessity, be largely the result of honorable adjustment and compromise. “I expect very few of us can say when our measure is perfected that all its features are entirely as we would prefer. You know how much I deprecated the incorporation in the proposed bill of the income tax feature. In matters of this kind, however, which do not violate a fixed and recognized dem? ocratic doctrine we are willing to defer to the judgment of the majority of our democratic brethren. 1 think there is a general agreement that this is a party duty. “This is more palpably apparent when we realize that the business of our country timidly stands and watches for the result of our efforts to perfect tariff legislation, that a quick and certain return of prosperity waits upon a wise adjustment, and that a confiding people still trust in our hands their prosperity and well-being. “The democracy of the land plead earnestly for the speedy completion of the tariff legislation which their representatives have undertaken, but they demand not less earnestly that no stress of neecsssity shall tempt those they trust to the abandonment of democratic principles. “Yours very truly, “GiiOYEK CutviajLsrDk*

A BLOODY BATTLE. — A Minister *»4 Ttro Member* of HU CmRrenUoa Slain nt n Meeting: to Settle n Dispute About n Sfauutcrow Report Said to Han Been Started by the Divine—A War of Extermination Tbought to be Probable. Shreveport. La.. July 32.—News has been received here of a tragedy at Ivory, a settlement in Arkansas just beyond the Louisiana line, in which a preacher. Rev. J. R. Platt, and two members of his congregation were slain and several others seriously wounded. The parties had met in a secluded place to settle a dispute concerning the authorship oflf slanderous report that was in eireulation, and the fight was the result. A rumor got abroad in the community affecting the character of a young lady. It was alleged that Rev. Platt started the story, but he in turn accused a member of his congregation named Perdue. The men were about to come together in battle, but friends intervened and it was decided that the principals with their friends should meet down the river and decide the matter without trouble. There were present Platt, Felix Goulet, Dan Perdue, two men named Tisdale. Two men named Defee and J. G. Stuart, father-in-law of Rev. Platt. After some time had been devoted to argument all the parties reached for their weapons. There were Winchesters, revolvers and shotguns. Platt, the only man unarmed,jumped into the river, where he was killed with a Winchester hall. Stuart, his relative, was shot in the back and leg and was kicked into insensibility. One of the Tisdales was shot in the abdomen. Others of the two factions’received injuries. The congregation of Platt's, church is divided over the whole affair, and an effort may be made to drive l*erdi|e out of the community, in whieh case a war of extermination will be entered upon on both sides. A WOMAN'S TREACHERY Drives a Faithful Lover to Self-Destruc-tion—Fouud Hanging lu HD Shop. Indianapolis, Ind., July 28.—J. P. Haas was found hanging to the ceiling in his shop on North Noble street yesterday afternoon. It whs the frightful odor about the premises that led to the seareh. Haas had not been seen about the place since Thursday. The suicide was a vietirn of a faithless woman to whom he was betrothed in j his native city of6, Luxembourg, Germany. He had come to this country promising to send her money for the passage just as soon ns he could earn it, and sent her $50 last May bidding her to come on at once/ He watched the traidb for several weeks, but heard nothing and saw nothing of his sweetheart. He wrote again, but not until last week did he hear from the girl. Then it was through her husband in Paris who wrote that he had married her and that her former lover must cease all attentions to her. This drove Haas to into fit of despondency and to.self-in* dieted death.

THE PATTERSON BILL. its Passage Expeeted to Assist In Creating a Demand For Foreign Securities. Washington, July 22.—The point is reached in the house when there is no new measure of such importance as to command the assignment of a day for its consideration. The committee on rules will meet tor-day to decide what committees shall be recognized during the week for presentation of business decided upon by them. It has finally been decided by the managers of the house that the Patterson bill to amend the interstate commerce law so as to permit the railroad companies under regulations to be established by the interstate commerce commission, to pool their earnings shall go over to the next session for action. The decision was reached after consultation with friends of the measure, although there was a great pressure brought to bear in favor the of immediate consideration of the measure. It is believed by many friends of the bill that its passage, together with the recent demonstration of the ability and determination of the government to protect and preserve the free and untrammeled movement of commerce between the states, would make a foreign demand for securities going far toward terminating the present period of business depression throughout the country. OVER ONE HUNDRED DROWNED A Ship Ron Down at San and Her Passengers and Crew A bnndoned to Their Fate. Odessa. July 23.—It is certain that 140 persons went down with the Italian steamer Columbia, whieh collided with the Russian steamer Vladimir in the Black sea a few days ago. All the evidence badly inculpates the Russian seamen, who deliberately abandoned the Columbia and her crew and passengers to their fate, although the vessel fioated an hour and a quarter after the collision. The Italian colony here will subscribe a fund for the prosecution of the Vladimir’s officers. The local newspapers malign the officers of the company almost daily. Baron di Morchetti, Italian ambassador to Russia, has strongly protested to the government against the falsehoods published here on the subject.

Close of Uw Baptist Young People's Convent Ion. Toronto, Ont., July 38.—The Baptist Young People’s convention closed last night with a great mass meeting in Massey hall. In the afternoon S,000 delegates and citizens met in Massey hall. Hr. Ellis, of Baltimore, expressed the pleasure of the delegates at.the manner in which Sunday was observed in Toronto. Rev. Dr. Johnson, of Columbus, gave an eloquent address on popular amusements, fallowed by Rev. Dr. Warlton,of Baltimore, who preached the dosing sermon. Last night’s meeting was remarkable for its enthusiasm.

DUN'S COMMERCIAL REVIEW. | The Castanaijr Tmta Lm* Iobtractlrc I Than t «iiaL Owing; to CongrcMloiul Inaction and the IJu-rrlnt Kffeett of the Two Great Striked—Heavy Decrease la Railroad harwiaga— A Further Falling Oil la Fallaree. Ktr, Ktr. New York. July SI.—R. G. Dun A Co. 's weekly review of trade, issued today, says: The effects of the two great strikes have not yet entirely worn off, and meanwhile the disagreement between the two houses of congress has made tariff uncertainties more distinct and impressive. It follow s that the customary tests of the condition of business [are less instructive than usual. The I financial situation is somewhat less favorable, because the exports of gold I have been resumed, amounting to | $3,300,000 for the week, but treasury receipts have been $2,040,391 for customs. against $2,931,574 last year, and 37,474.553 internal revenue, against $2,979,518 last year. The extraordinary payments to anticipate the increase of taxation on whisky are rapidly locking up a large amount of capital, and taking from the government part of the expected increase of revenue, while the current loss in customs receipts is largely due to the postponement of imports in expectation of lower duties hereafter. Thus the treasury has been gaining in balance, although at the expense of some loss in revenue hereafter. Wheat, during the past days has been skating on very thin ice, with a chance of breaking through, and making the lowest record ever known. It has declined three cents for the week. With railroads generally blocked in the wheat-growing districts it is a satisfactory indication that the western receipts are about two-thirds of last year's—2,271.514 bushels, against 3,028,379 a year ago—while the exports from Atlantic ports are insigniScant, only 672,402 bushels, against 2,863,677 last year. The enormous visible supplies have less actual weight in the market than the prevalent conviction that government estimates of yield are widely erroneous.

Corn has advanced a shade, with nc satisfactory reason, for the prospect is excellent fora large yield. A great speculation in oatsi has begun to liquidate, with the customary losses to the wise men who knew all about it. Cotton has declined a fraction. Although there was an increase during the month of June of nearly a third in the weekly production of pig iron, and the consumption in the manufacture was nearly 20.000 tons per week greater than the output of furnaces, it is questionable whether any further improvement has yet occurred in July. Many of the western establishments were stopped, because the blockade oi railroads cut off their supplies of fuel, and have not yet ventured to resume. Others west of Pittsburgh have been inactive, because the coal strike continues, and thfe limited production scarcely suffices for the needs of works near at hand. Behind all other embarrassments there is a remarkable narrowness of demand for finished production. In all quarters there is much disappointment because, after the stoppage of works for months, there appears scarcely demand enough tc keep supplied the establishments now in operation. It is not surprising that the textile manufactures are retarded by uncertainties about the tariff, and this week that the difficulty has been felt in spite of a considerable increase in orders for goods, which has materially diminished the number of concerns stopping work. Yet the number closing is quite large, and the reduction in output of cotton goods has been considerable, while , prices of bleached goods have been redues to the lowest ever known, and print cloths have been selling quite largely at 2.6 cents. The situation in woolen goods is mainly due tc the anxiety of clothiers—who have deferred their orders too long—to get the goods which their trade now imperatively demands. Prices do not alter, nor is there visible any less caution regarding transactions reaching beyond the fall season. In boots and shoes the shipments from the east are about as large as a year ago, with small but numerous orders for low-priced goods, in which the demand seems distinctly increasing. The volume of domestic trade reflected by exchanges at the clearing house is 17.2 per cent, smaller than a year ago, when the panic and the scarcity of money eaused What was then considered a paralysis. In comparison with 1892, the exchanges decrease 22.7 per cent. Much of this decrease, however, is due to the general decline in prices, whieh has been over 10 per cent, for the two years, and 8.S per cent, since a year ago. Foreign trade shows no important change, the desired expansion of exports being still deferred, while imports have been a little larger of late, as the customs receipts indicate. The most hopeful sign noted this week is that failures continue comparatively few aud not very important. The aggregate of liabilities for the twelve days ending July 12 was $2,630,306, of whieh $1,009,821 was of manufacturing and $1,448,204 of trading concerns, which is decidedly below the average for the past half year. The failures this week have been 236 i in the United States, against .463 last i year, and forty-four in Canada, against thirty-five last year.

DESTROYED BY FIRE. Burning of the Union Manufacturing Cn’l Plant nt Swiasvnle, Pa. Pittsburgh Pa., July 81.—At 6 a.m. fire broke out in the building of the Union Manufacturing Co., at Swissvale station, on the Pennsylvania railroad, and completely destroyed' the plant. The total loss is §50,000. Swissvale is entirely without water supply and nothing could he done to save the prop erty. The origin of the fire is unknown. Adjoining buildings occupied as a boarding house, a grocery store and the post office were alao destroyed.

NEAT WIRE TRELLIS. Two That At* Really Attrartlw and Tory Easily Made at Home. Attractive trellises add much to the pleasure of graving plants and vines. The ordinary wooden affairs that are commonly seen are usually heavy in appearance, and not particularly attractive in design. The illustrations show a couple made largely of wire, that are neat in shape and easily constructed. One has a central support of wood 1J{ inches square, with cross-pieces at the top, and at the surface of the ground if desired. From the extremities of these cross-pieces four wires are stretched from top to bottom, and around these wires is wonnd, in spiral form* a strip of 6-inch wire netting, such as is used for yarding poultry. Small pieeesof wire tie it firmlv to the upright wires. The central support of | wood should extend down into the ground IS or -0 inches. ♦ The only explanation needed in regard to the other trellis is that the central support of wood has small ' -

WIRE TRELLISES. holes through it at regular intervals, and through these are drawn fairly stout galvanized wire according to the design that is suggested, or ac* cording to any other regular design that the maker may elect. It is singular that greater use is not made about the garden and lawn of this galvanized wire that is now so low in price. It may be used, in connection with light frame-works of wood as supports for large numbers of garden plants—peas, beans, tomatoes, berry bushes, etc., while it can be woven into almost any shape for the artistic support of flowers, sweet peas and a host of other climbers. In fact the various widths of poultry netting, and this smooth galvanized wire ought to be regarded as two of the most valuable assistants which the cultivator of fruits, vegetables and flowers has at his command in giving nature a chance to do its best—and prettiest— in the growth of the plants under his care.—Country Gentleman.

THE FARMER’S GARDEN. It Should CwttUt of at Least One Acre a the Meet Soil. , The farmer's garden should consist of not less than one aere of the best soil, eight by ten rods, and if it runs over a knoll so-as to get north and south slope it will prolong the fruiting season. Fence ft in from the chickens and have no shade trees in or about the garden; everything needs sunlight and culture. The ground should have ten or twenty loads of the best manure to the acre every year. All rows should run the entire length and be cultivated with the horse. If you don’t want nineteen rods of any one vegetable fill it out with something else, and the same with fruit. But you do want a whole row of grapes on the sunny side, for you can buy two-year-old Concord Tines at one dollar per dozen, and If you have more than you can eat they are worth more to give away than to sell, but your grocer will give you four or five cents a pound for them, and after four years planted ought to bear twenty to forty pounds. Eight feet from the grapes set a row of currants, gooseberry and pieplants, so you ean drive over this row to mulch, then eight feet from this a row of blackberries, then a row of red raspberries, next blackberries; now have two rows of strawberries the entire length of the garden, one row of pistil! a tes, one row of perfect flowered varieties side by side, the rows four feet apart aud the plants two to three feet—G. J. Kel logg, in Homestead. - Trees Pruned to Death. In the last annual report of the park commissioners of the city of Louisville, Ky., a plate is given in whieh the damage done to the street trees by itinerant tree-trimmers is strikingly set forth. Some trees whose leading branches had been carelessly lopped off arc shown, and their siekly. scarred and generally dilapidated look is in strong contrast \Vith the picture of another tree of the same species whieh stands one hundred feet away from the first group and has been allowed to grow naturally. The plate teaehes the lesr son that bad pruning is worse than no pruning at all

Th» Quality of Chwse. The quality of cheese will vary according to the quality of the milk from which it is made, and proportionately to the amount of fat present in that milk. The fat is the constituent which most affects the quality of the cheese, hence it is not possible to expect the same quality of cheese to be made from large quantities of poor milk as from small quantities of rich milk. But with due care, the larger yield of cheese whioh can lie obtained from the poorer milk should balanoe in value that of the higher quality which can be made from the rich milk, •

Now that the great strike is over and the railroads can assure their patrons normal safety and comfort and prompt arrival at destination, the summer exodns to the resorts of the East,.North and West, which was interrupted by the latwr troubles, has begun again with increased vigor.
