THE DALLES, OREGON; THURSDAY, AUGUST 9, 1894.
NO. 195
THEY HAVE AGREED
The Senate Succeed, the House
Recedes.
THE SUGAR SENATORS SMILE
Worden and Knox at the End of Their
Trial-Children Starving in San
Francisco.
Hit Agreed at Last.
Washington, Ang. 8. Senators Jones
and Vest, of the tariff conference, and
Gorman and Smith on behalt of the con
servative senators, it is understood, de
cided today the time had arrived when
the conference should end either by
agreement or disagreement. Jones,
after the ' morning conference, said the
senate conferees might ask to be dis
charged, but he did not think ench a
request would be made today. The re
publican steering committee this morn
ing discussed the proposition to make
sugar free. The opinion was expressed
that by putting sugar on the free list
the votes of the Louisiana senators
would be lost to the bill, but Senator
Pefier might vote for it. The proposi
tion to put sugar on the free list will re
ceive the support of nearly the entire
republican side. At 1 o'clock the demo
cratic conferees adjourned until 2 :30.
When the tariff conferees adjourned
for recess the air was fall of rumors,
among them being statements that an
agreement would be reached at the
afternoon session. A leading conserva
tive senator said the house must take
the responsibility of risking another
vote upon the bill in the senate. . There
seems a determination on the part of
the senate to force a decision one way
or the other during the day, but the is
sue may be farther delayed.
Senator Jones said at 2 :25 he thought
the tariff conferees would be able to re
port an agreement tomorrow. Chair
man Wilson and Representative Mont
gomery joined Speaker Crisp in his pri
vate office. A report was soon circu
lated and generally credited that an
agreement would be reached, today.
Chairman Wilson was in a hopelul
mood.
Representative Straus of New York,
closely associated with Mr. Wilson, gave
his opinion there would be a complete
agreement by Saturday at the latest.
Senator Smith said he expected the
committee would be called together to
morrow and the . bill -reported. " The
compromise sugar schedule announced
last week would be part of the agree
ment. It is said the tariff agreement is on
the basis of making either coal or iron
free, but the reports as to which will be
made dutiable conflict.
Fight With Miner.
La Salle, 111., Aug. ' 8. In resisting
arrest Joseph Schurman, a Polish miner,
was fatally shot this morning, and two
deputy sheriffs were wounded with
saber thrusts. Deputy sheriffs Thomas
Hanley, A. A. Colley, Michael Brennan
and Thomas Brennan surrounded Schur
man's house to prevent the escape of
Schurman, he having twice before got
away from the officers. He is a desper
ate character, wanted for the prominent
part he played in the riots in Union
shaft six weeks ago. Entrance into the
house was forced and the sheriffs were
confronted by the older and younger
Schurman and their wives, all armed
with cavalry sabers. A determined
effort was made by the sheriffs to dis
arm their opponents and it was not un
til A. A. Colley had been dangerously
' wounded that they resorted to the use of
firearms. Three shots were fired and
young Schurman fell mortally wounded.
The miners in the neighborhood rushed
to the scene of the disturbance. The
militia's prompt arrival saved the lives
of the deputy sheriffs, who were sur
' rounded by an angry mob, many armed.
The militiamen used' their bayonets to
disperse the mob. The anarchistic ele
ment are swearing vengeance against
the deputies.
'.The Sails or the Agreement. .
Chicago, Aug. 8. The Post's Wash
ington special says the tariff conferees
have agreed. This announcement was
made at 3 o'clock. The agreement is in
formal, and is by the democratic mem
bers only. The republican members

have been notified to attend a meeting
tomorrow. The basis of the agreement
is the sugar schedule agreed to last Fri
day, 40 cents ad valorem, with 1-5 of 1
cent differential on refined sugar. Iron
ore is free and coal 40 cents a ton, with
a reciprocity clause. The agreement
will, it is said by the democratic confer
ees, be satisfactory- to all the 43 demo
cratic senators. If so, the formal report
may be expected tomorrow, or the next
day at latest, and the president's ex
pectations of having an opportunity "to
sign the bill this week may be realized,
though it is doubtful, as the change ic
the senate bill offers reasons for debate,
and it is believed the republicans will
take advantage of it. The Cleveland
a en claim they have won. The Gor
man people say it is a compromise.
Trial of the Sacramento Train-Wrecker
at Woodland. .
Woodland, Cal., Aug..8. The prose
cution in the train-wrecking cases prom
ises to close this evening, after complet
ing the testimony of the two Woodland
bank cashiers, who are on the stand this
afternoon as experts, passing upon the
handwriting of the telegrams claimed to
have, been despatched by defendants.
The evidence offered today was of little
importance, being by a Southern Pacific
employe, and relating to well known
incidents of the strike. Counsel for the
defense created some excitement by de
claring to the court that the railroad de
tectives had been admitted to the jail
during the night and had attempted to
draw statements from defendants Wor
den and Hatch by telling them that
other statements implicating them had
been made. Justice' Fisher finally or
dered that no one should be admitted to
the jail to see the prisoners. .
In the Honse.
Washington, Aug. 8. In the house to
day Bailey, from the committee on ju
diciary, as a matter of privilege, pre
sented a resolution providing for an in
vestigation by that committee of the
charges against Judge Augustus J. Bicks
of Ohio. Grosvenor criticised this, reso
lution as a piece of indecent haste,' as no
notice was given Judge Kicks. Bailey
said if Grosvenor were a triend of Judge
Hicks he would want the charges inves
tigated immediately'. If there was a
taint on Judge Kicks' judicial ermine it
should be removed or he should be re ,
moved. The resolution was agreed to
without discussion. On motion of
McCann a resolution instructing the
commissioner of labor to investigate the
effect of machinery on labor, wages, etc.,
was agreed to. ' -
I.eft His Children to Starve.
' San Francisco, Aug. 8. An extreme
case of parental neglect was unearthed
this morning. Three starving little
girle, ranging in age from 4 to 12 years,
were found at 421 Jersey street by an
officer, and taken to the Girls' Directory.
When found the children were huddled
together with a half-starved, dog on a
dilapidated bed. In the corner of the
room were tne putrid remains ot a
starved cat. The windows were broken,
and the whole place was one of squalor
and desolation. The children were so
weak from lack of food as to be scarcely
able to walk. Their father, George C.
Richardson, is a plasterer, and makes
good wages, but when on his drunken
sprees deserts his children 'for days at a
time. He has been arrested and charged
with cruelty to children. .:
Chln.ae Force. Defeated With a Heavy
Yokohama, Aug. 8. Zikoan has been
taken by the Japanese with a trifling
loss. The Chinese lost 500 killed.' The
enemy v'fled in the direction of Kahiu.
The Japanese are in possession of
Yashan. , An imperial ordinance just
issued permits Chinese, to reside- in
Japan on condition they engage . in
peaceful pursuits. The greatest excite
ment prevails here and at Tokio, and at
other large towns, as a result of the vic
tories of the Japanese troops. Rumors,
however, are current that the Japanese
naval forces have been defeated in an
engagement with the Chinese warships.
No Chance for Peace. ,

ported f rOm Tien Tsin that the effort's of
Great Britain and Kussia to bring about

Nkw Yokk, Aug. 8. A World special
from Colon says : General Ortiz has re
lieved General Cabezas at Bluefielda,
and proposes, with- the help of General
Roderiaoez, to attack Chief Clarence.

of having . evacuated the town and re
treating to Pearl City, has fortified him
self in Bluefields. The Mosquitans are
expecting reinforcements from the in
terior. They received today arms and
ammunition that was shipped from here
last week. ' The steamerPara left Pan

two commissioners appointed by Chief
Clarence and Barrios, a Nicaraguan
plenipotentiary to England. Thelatter's
mission is reported to be to ask for a
better protectorate. Clarence was
obliged to abandon the bluffs because
his ammunition was exhausted.

Cannot be Cared
By local applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by. constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused bv an inflamed con
dition of" the . mueous lining of . the
Eustachian Tube. When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rumbling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be destroyed forever ;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness (.caused by catarth)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure.. Send for circulars, free.
