A fine thread of white metal which passes through the hair and holds in place a delicate pair of butterfly wings, beautifullly enameled, has captured the feminine heart.

THE TARIFF IN THE SENATE. The Conference iteport on the Hill Debuted. On the 25th Mr. Caffery resumed his speech, speaking principally us to the justice of the duty on sugur Mr Daniel (dem., Va.) also made a speech. Mr. (^uuy (rep. Pa) gave notice of three amendments he should offer to the pending motion before the senate first to amend Mr. Vilas' motion, that the senate recede from the one-eighth differential in the sugar schedule so os to recede from the whole of the sugar schedule: the second to add to Mr. Gray’s motion thut the senate insist on all of its amendments, that It recede from the sugar schedule; and the third to add to Mr. Gray's motion another motion, viz..: That it recede from the differential in favor of the refiners. On the 26th Senator Quay withdrew the | amendments he had offered the day before. Senator Vilas then reviewed the action of Senator Gorman in attacking the president upon Monday characterizing that attack as a personal assault upon the president and his character. Th<* first charge was, he said, that of duplicity, bused upon Mr. Cleveland's letter expressing the hope* that iron aud coal should go on the the free list in the tariff bill. The second was that the executive had encroached upon the prerogatives of congress, aud third that the president had traduced the senate. He thanked Senator Hill for his defense of the president. Never did that senator appear to better advantage nor more ably argue than when he presented his views to the senate on the matter of i free coal and iron on Tuesday. Senator Vilas, reviewing the various tariff messages of the president, which he said embraced no novelty with reference to coal or Iron not familiar to his party friends, asked if the president could lay aside his views on tariff reform. There had been no direct testimony presented, ho said, by Senator Gorman or his witnesses that the president had betod with duplicity. The senator from Arkansas (Jones). one of Senator Gorman's witnesses, had said that he laid the •100 amendments to the tariff bill before the president, and now the president was accused of having agreed to all of them. How could the president agree to all of those detailed amendments? How many senators could j give a detailed account of these amendments and their effect on the business of the country? The president had merely considered these things generally, devoting his attention and : his remarks to the great principle involved ! in free coal and free iron. He (Vilas) had asked the senator from Arkansas if the president had not expressed to him the hope I that free coal and free iron would be the outcome of this great question, and the senator from Arkansas answered truly that on every occasion such was the fact. Who could say thut there had been a lack of opennesson the president’s part that this bill before its perfection would carry free coal and free iron ore. On this single statement of the senator from Arkansas he would be content to let rest this charge of duplicity on the part of that great offleerof the government. The president has not endeavored to infringe on the prerogatives of the senate and not with qualms of duplicity, but with the same open manner that lias always characterized him he said to the chairman of the ways and means committee that he hoped that the result might l)e accomplished in conference with reference to free coal and iron, as he had a perfect right to do. Who would gainsay that the president had not as much right to give his views on this question as freely after his conversation with the senator from Arkansas us he bad before. Senator Vilas then quoted and ranged alongside of Mr. Cleveland’s utterance the statement of Senator Gorman that the senate bill could not pass If it did not have the hearty support of Mr. Cleveland. “At the very time when the president was writing his letter to Mr. Wilson,” Senator Vilas went on dramatically. “the senator from Maryland and his coadjutors were appealing to Mr. Cleveland to induce mm to support them in an effort to qualify the enactment of democratic principles instead of crystalizing them into law. How utterly wanton is this cry of interference now; because ho has seen lit to throw the weight of his influence with the house in favor of democratic principles, because he refused to stand with them, they make his action a ground of complaint here and in horror cry out against ‘executive interference.’ ” Senator Vilas referred to the fact that President Washington came to the same chamber accompanied by his secretary to urge in perHon the ratification of a treaty he had negotiated. President Jackson's course in making his views felt by congress was also referred to. Senator Vilas said he was content to leave to fair-minded men whether the president had wantonly encroached upon the rights of congress. The charge was made that the senate had been traduced. Extracts from the letter to Mr. Wilson were read to show that the president’s purpose was not to traduce the senate, but plainly to state his aspirations toward tariff reform. The president had stated that the abandonment of the great party principle would be perfidy and dishonor. No one who would question such an abandonment of principle would be dishonorable. The shaft was not aimed at any senator. It was not a personal accusation. Senator Vilas said the view of the senator from Maryland (Gorman) could mean only one thing. It was an effort to array democrats together in a spirit of resentment and thus carry out the compromise of tariff reform. The Wilson bill had passed amid public acclamation The people accepted It as the honest execution of a party and public pledge. When this rev-enue-reform measure reached the senate iron and coal were placed on thedutable list. Moreover it was debated week in and week out. The public was wearied at that debate and yet the senate could reached no result. It was at thi* Juncture that the senator from Arkansas (Jones) had brought forward over *100 amendments. These were to be the solution of the problem ftnd were to bringtha debate to a close. Still the discussion proceeded fifty-seven days Senator Vilas said he had recognized the necessity of yielding to these amendments. It was essential to have a revision of the existing tariff qmcKiy. Jt was essential, too, to reinforce a depleted treasury. In conclusion Senator Vilas eulogized the personal character and public integrity of Mr. Cleveland in the most glowing terms, declaring with dramatic fervor that the president of the United States, who had received so many evidences of the honor and respect of the American people, could not suffer from this unjustifiable attack of the Maryland senator. After some general remarks by Senator Stewart against the interference of the executive with the legislative branch of the government. Senator Hill's motion that the senate recede from its amendments placing a duty of forty Cents a ton on coal and iron ore was defeated. the vote standing 6 to 65. On the 27th Senator Washburne s motion that the senate recede from that portion of the sugar amendment placing a differential of oneeighth of a cent on sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard was lost on a tie vote. The resolution was then adopted to agree to a further i onference. The chair appointed Senators Voorhees. Jones, Vest. Harris, Sherman. Allison and Aldrich. Women Were In It. Colorado Springs, Col., July 27.— Twenty-five persons will be arrested for participating' in the turriug and feathering of Aiijt. Gen. Tarsney.

A HOT DAY.

Burning Wlndn Sweep Over a Vttiit Section of the Northwest. St. Paul, Minn., July 27.—As indicated from various points in Minnesota, North and Soutli Dakota and northern Iowa Thursday was one of the hottest ever recorded in the northwest. From 100 to 112 in the shade Is reported. The long continued heat is proving disastrous to crops. Wheat in South Dakota is reported nearly all out of the way, but corn must have rain immediately to save it. The same conditions exist in northern Minnesota. Reports from northern Iowa say corn is injured beyond the power of rain to restore. Tlie situation is some better in North Dakota. Following are some of the records reported. Mankato. 102; Faribault, 108; St. James, 106; Caledonia, 104; Bird Island, 102; Yankton, S. D., 110; Vermillion, 112; Sioux Falls, 110; Pierre, 104; Huron, 100; Bismarck, 110. Although the heat was almost unprecedented in tlie Twin Cities no cases of sunstroke are reported. Des Moines, la., July 27.—The heat here Thursday was the greatest in ten years according to official records. The wind blew all day almost a gale from the southwest. It was so hot that it dried up what was left of green grass. Agricultural Iowa is in a deplorable condition. Omaha. Neb., July 27.—An unprecedentedly hot wind is blowing over Nebraska from the soutli and is doing irreparable damage to corn. The wind feels as if it came from a furnace, and it is blasting corn as effectually as a prairie fire. At noon Thursday the thermometer registered 102 in the shade. From all parts of tlie territory tributary to Omaha, a strip of 300 miles north and south and 500 miles oast and west, come reports of the terrible effects of tlie hot winds. A special from ( hadron says rain fell there just after 5 o'clock p. m. Thursday. The temperature there reached 108. Hastings, Neb., July 28.—Thursday was the hottest day in the history of central Nebraska, 110 degrees in the shade here. Tlie hot wind prevailing has completely ruined the prospects for corn in central Nebraska and no amount of rain would bo of any avail now. Bloomington, 111., July 28.—Thursday was the hottest day of all this unprecedentedly warm summer. The mercury was above 100 degrees most of tlie day, averaging one degree higher than on any previous day of the summer. Anderson, II!., July 28.—Thursday was the hottest day of the summer, tlie thermometer registering 105 degrees in the shade. Emporia, Kan., July 28.—Not a drop of rain lias fallen here during the last thirty-one days, and hot winds have been blowing from the south. The result is that the corn crop in this vicinity is ruined beyond recovery.

A GRAVE CONDITION.

^uotatloiiH from K. D. Dun «& C'o.’» Weekly Kf*view of Trade. New Y’ork, Julj' 31.—R. G. Dun & Co.'s weekly review of trade says: "The heavy outgo of gold, the fall of the treasury reserve and of the price of wheat to the lowest point on record, and the Increasing uncertainty about the tariff have entirely overshadowed other Industries. Business delayed for months by the great strikes now crowds the railroads and swells returns and gives the impression of revival in business. But It is not yet clear how far there is an increase In new traffic distinguished from that which had been merely blocked or deferred. In some branches there has been more activity but In others less, because events e.rly this week led many to Infer that no change of tariff would be made. "Wheat has found the lowest depth and has sold below 55 cents, making the monthly average at New York the lowest ever known. Corn was stronger, with accounts of Injury to part of the crop, and the exports are trifling. Cotton declined n sixteenth of 7 cents, though receipts from plantations were small. Textile Industries have been perceptibly stimulated, according to dealers, by disagreements which many suppose will prevent change of the tariff and there has been more buying of cotton goods, with slightly higher prices for a few, notwithstanding the closing of some important mills. The stock of such goods is on the whole quite large. In woolens the goods famine, which clothiers prepared for themselves by deferring orders, is such that imperative necessities now keep most of the mills at work and purchases of wool for Immediate use are large. "For the week failures have been 241t In the United States, against :tsd last year, and 3(1 in Canada, against 23 last year." SLAIN IN HIS CAB.
