chance at Fittiburf.
Washington, Aug. 14. As the bouse
of representatives adjourned until Wed
nesday, the tariff bill cannot be sent to
the white house tomorrow. It will be
enrolled and carefully compared today,
and tomorrow will receive the signa
tures of Speaker Crisp and Vice-President
Stevenson. Great pressure will be
brought to bear on the president to in
duce him to sign the bill, but the state
ment made by the Associated Press yes
terday, that it is bis intention to let the
bill become a law without bis signature,
can be reiterated today. A member of
the cabinet said today, if the president
should conclude to affix his signature to
the bill it would be accompanied by a
statement of his reasons.
Effects of Passage.
New Yokk, Aug. 14. Operators in the
stock exchange enjoyed the liveliest day
they have had in a Ions; time. Blocks
of thousands of shares changed hands
rapidly amid much excitement. Prices
moved up and down so smartly that
brokers had difficulty in executing 'or
ders given "at limit." All this was the
direct result of the passage of the tariff
bill. Foreigners have already taken
hold with a will, and to their purchases
is largely attributable the weakness ot
sterling exchange. The chief attractions
were sugar and distilling dealings, both
ot which were on a scale of unusual
magnitude. Sugar opened at 109
109.?2, against 109 yesterday, dropped to
106, rallied to 108, reacted to 107M
and recovered to 108. At the consoli
dated exchange the crowd was so
great it was almost impossible to get
through. At the .opening prices began
to go up and they kept going. The
sugar people, it is said, are greatly
elated over the passage of the bill.
Those Who Voted Against It.
Washington, Aug. 14. It is under
stood the twenty senators who voted
against the ratification of the Chinese
treaty yesterday were : Turpie, demo
crat; Casey, Cullom, Dolph, Dubois,:
Gallinger, Hale, Hansbrough, Higgins,
Hoar, Lodge, Mitchell, cf Oregon, Pat
ton, Perkins, Shoup and Washburn, re
publicans ; Allen, Kyle, Peffer and Stew
art, populists. Among those absent
and paired against the treaty were
Teller, Wolcott, Power, Squire and
Jones of Nevada.
IN THE SENATE.
Hill will Attempt to Kepeal the Income
Tax.
Washington, Aug. 14. There was but
a scattering of senators present today
when .the vice-president called the sen
ate to order at 12 :15. The reading of
the journal was concluded. A mes
senger from the bouse informed the sen
ate that the house had passed a bill
placing coal, iron ore, barbed wire and
sugar on the free list, on which it asked
the concurrence of the senate.
Manderson objected to the second
reading of the free list bills. Hill gave
notice to an amendment repealing all
income taxes. The bills will come tip
tomorrow.
Hale introduced a resolution for print
ing 50,000 copies ot house bill No. 4864,
known as the "sugar tariff bill." "Vest
protested against this title. Hale re
plied that he simply referred to it by the
name by which it would be known here
after. Vest questioned Hale's right to
say what would be the popular designa
tion of the bill, and declared it an out-
went over. Bills were passed promot
ing Commodore Louis C. Sartori, retired,
to rear-admiral on the retired list, and
authorizing the Soldiers' Home mana
gers to extend out-door relief to veterans.
At 2 :30 the senate adjourned.
1 -
supplemental House Bills.
Washington, Aug. 14. Neither the
democratic steering committee of the
senate nor the finance committee has
met, consequently there has been no
official action in regard to the supple
mental tariff bill.' The majority of the
republicans of the steering committee
favor a postponement of the considera
tion of these bills, especially the free
sugar bill. If it should be forced to an
issue, the republicans would divide on
it, and there would be a possibility of it
becoming a law. ' The republican steer
ing committee decided against raising
the question as to. whether the house
legally bad the senate tariff bill in its
possession, and in favor of referrring the
supplemental house bills to the finance
committee. It is believed a quorum
would disappear before they could be re
ported from the committee.
It is not thought possible to pass the
free coal, iron ore and barbed wire bills
in the senate. There is little doubt, in
case a direct vote could be had, the free
sugar bill would be passed. - If it should
fail of being referred to the finance com
mittee, the republicans would offer a
boualy amendment, which would carry
if Stewart's vote could be bad ; other
wise it would be defeated by a tie vote.
It is said the bill would be debated at
such length it would go over till next
session. .
Eresh Fruit for London.
New York, Aug. 14. The pioneer fruit
train which marks the renewal of the
shipment of California fresh fruits di
rect to London by thetrainloads, arrived
ahead of time Monday night. Soon
after sunrise this morning, 45,000 pack
ages, weighing 480 tons of the luscious
product of the Pacific slope, had been
stowed away in the refrigerating com
partments of the American "-line steam
ship Parrs, which will carry them to
Southampton, whence they will be
transferred by sbecial train to London.
A reporter visited the Paris yesterday
and found her compartments hermetic
ally sealed and the refrigerating machin
ery in operation. The compartments
will not be opened until one week from
today, when the Paris arrives at South
ampton. The pcocess of refrigeration is
the same as that for the- manufacture of
artificial ice. The fruit sent to the boat
yesterday was of various kinds, but
choice bar tlett pears predominated. It
was all in excellent order, and the ship
pers are confident that it will arrive in
London in good marketable condition.
Business Reviving- Already.
Pittsbukg, Aug. 14. The passage of
the tariff bill has already made itself
felt here by a marked revival of business.
Stocks in all lines of manufactures have
been reduced to a minimum, especially
iron, steel and glass. Today large orders
were received by local manufacturers
and more are expected. It is asserted a
sligbt reduction in wages will be neces
sary in the case of the glasaworkers, tin
plate men and workers in some branches
of the iron and steel trade, but the scales
generally allow for reductions to fit the
tariff changes.
Awaits the Action of China.
Washington, Aug. 14. The Chinese
minister bad a long conference at the
state department today with Secretary
Gresham, respecting the concluding
phases of the negotiations upon the new
Chinese exclusion treaty, just ratified by
the senate. The minister has notified
his government of this action, and as
soon as .the treaty is ratified in China
the documents will be mailed to the
United States, and ratifications will be
exchanged in Washington, all of which
is expected to consume about six weeks.
To Remove the Caisson.
San Fbancisco, Aug. 14. The second
attempt to replace the caisson at Mare Is
land has proved a failure, and the naval
authorities have decided to abandon any
further efforts at repairs. A telegram
was sent to the city this morning, asking
that machinery and a wrecking crew be
sent up.. On their arrival, .the caisson
will be removed and then work on a new
one will be begun.

A LAND THAT NEVER CHANGES.
Egypt Has Not Been Modernized Either
as to Costume or Custom.
The characters of the "Thousand
and One Nights" may be almost im
agined to step out of their setting of
words, and take form and plow with
the generous warmth of life before
one's very eyes, says a writer in the
Gentleman's Magazine. The natives
still drink the same coffee, and out of
the same cups; they smoke the same
pipes, they wear generally the' same
dress, they play the same primitive in
struments that whisper the same
strange and plaintive tones. The fu
neral processions wend their way along
the streets as of old; the popular fes
tivals or moolids are still observed with
the same untiring capacity for enjoy
ment; the public reciters still prac
tice their professions before admiring
crowds; the water carriers still carry
their burdens, so welcome to thirsty
lips; except in the houses of the rich
and thoroughly Europeanized, food is
still eaten with the fingers, and in the
same manner, and the hands are washed
with the same basins and ewers; the
mosque of El Azhar still attracts its
crowd of students. Even the old wood
en locks and keys are still in use, and
the water jars are still kept cool in the
lattice work of the overhanging mush
rabiyeh window frames. Instances of
this sort might be multiplied a hun
dred fold. It is, indeed, a wonderful
change and contrast that is presented
to the eye. when you leave the Euro
pean and enter the native quarter.
And the mind and feelings turn in uni
son, and become attuned to the changed
scene. The sense of. taking part in a
new and different life steals over you.
and you temporarily throw off yemr
affinity with the west and the nine
teenth century. The clock of time is,

TRAVEL ON FRIDAY.
How Popular Superstition Affects lCaU
ro&d and Steamship BtHdoess.
Much ridicule has been ' poured upon
Thirteen clubs, Friday clubs and other
associations formed' for the laudable
purpose of dealing in a practical and
pleasant way with some current super
stitions. Gen. Wolseley, says the Phil
adelphia Record, who in a recent pre
tentious military criticism included
Dessaix, the hero of 'Mj.rengo, among
the generals who accompanied Na
poleon to Russia, has written a flip
pant letter to a Thirteen club in Lon
don to say that he loves to cherish the
pretty superstitions of his childhood.
Against this false sentiment it must be
said that some of the current popular
beliefs are positively mischievous in
many respects.
Not a transatlantic steamship com
pany has Friday among the. days of de
parture, and until quite recently none
of the coastwise steamship lines had
put the unlucky day on its list. It
would be highly desirable for the
ocean mail service that some steam
ships, should leave Atlantic ports on
Friday; but while the owners are
doubtless exempt from any superstition
on-the subject they are obliged to de

Story of a Queer Thine That Happened
in the East.
A story comes by mail from the far
east and tells one more of the wonder
ful things which happen to those who
have their homes on the great waters.
The story concerns the big four
masted iron ship Luc i para. She hails
from Glasgow, and recently made a
voyage from Sharpness to Sydney, N.
S. W. While sailing along between
the Cape of Good Hope and Australia,
the ship ran into a hurricane, or was
ovi rtaken ' by one, abftut midnight.
Suddenly the sea, which had been dan
gerously high, became calm, and to
those on the ship it seemed as if the
surface of the ocean had been sub
jected to an enormous pressure, by
which the waves were stilled. Without
warning the men were almost blinded
by a sheet of flame, which enveloped
the ship from stem to stern, and
reached half way up the masts.
This. wave of flame surged back and
forth, fore and aft, for a few seconds,
and was then snuffed out as suddenly
as it had appeared, leaving captain
and crew groping about in intense
darkness! The blinding glare was ex
tremely painful to the eyes, but caused
no damage either to the men or to the
ship. Capt. Witt said it was his first
experience of the kind, and he hoped
it would be the last.
While Mrs. Stent, of Branford, was
in a New Haven lawyer's office having
divorce papers made out, Mr. Stent was
dying of injuries suffered in a railroad
accident.
Deafness Cannot be Cured
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.
Ieafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition, of the mucous lining of. the
Eustachian Tube. : When this tube gets
inflamed yon bave 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 ot .Deafness (.caused by catarth)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Cure. Send for circulars, free.
