COUNTRY BLCOMINQ TIRED.
Three Now and Important Project
- iutlic River and Harbor Bill
as Amended
Arsoclated Pros.
Washington, August 10. The crisis
in the tariff affairs was reached today
both In open senate and the secret coun
cils of the Democratic tariff conferrees.
When the conference closed tonight
:t was the understanding that the meet
ings were suspended for the present.
No time was set for the re-assembling
of the conference tomorrow or there
of ter, and It was also said that further
sessions might be necessary in case
the senate acted1 favorably tomorrow
on Hill's resolution directing the senate
conferrees to report the situation of
affairs. What was of more Importance
was the feeling expressed by Uie house
conferrees at the close of the conference
that in case the Hill resolution passed,
and they believed it would, the con
ference would practicilly bo relieved
of its work, and It would remain only
for the house to accept the senate bill
as a lesser evil, as they believe, than
the McKlnley law. These conclusions
were reached after a day of intense ex
citement among the tariff leaders.
HILL EXPLAINS,
He Displays Some Good, Hard, Bound
Sense.
Washington, August 10. In explain
ing his course today, Hill said:
"My object In offering the resolution
asking for the status of the tariff con
ference was to expedite the disposition
of the tariff. Every day's delay Is In
jurious to the business Interests of the
country, and the bill should be dis
posed of one way or another. It has
been in consideration In the conference
committee over a month, and a further
delay Ib absolutely inexcusable. It they
fan't agree, an act of Buch disagree
ment should be reported to the two
houses, when, If no understanding can
be reached on the bill, congress should
promptly adjourn and give the coun
try a rest. We have deliberated enough,
We want action. Either pass the tariff)
bill at once, or adjourn and go Home.-
THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL.
Washington. August 10. The river
and harbor appropriation bill which
has been agreed to in both houses, pro-;
viaes tor mree new
have long been sought for by the son1
ators who have the credit of their adop'
tion. They are a boat railway to over
come the obstruction at The Dalles on
the Columbia river, another for1 a canal
to connect Lakes Union and Washing
ton with Puget Sound, and1 the third
to begin the construction of a lock In
tha Mississippi river between St. Paul
and Minneapolis to extend navigation
to that place. Tho railway project
contemplates a hydraulic lift to raise
steamboats out of the water, placing
them upon a tramway car running
upon eight or more tracks, transporting
them thirteen miles and returning them
to the water. The estimated cost Is
$2,000,000. The canal which Is to con
nect the waters of Puget Sound with
the fresh waters of Lakes Union and
Washington, It is understood, will be
a great commercial benefit, because it
will give ships an opportunity to an-
chor In fresh water after long voyascs
In the Pacific. Another benefit Is to be
gained by having naval vessels, whilo
not in commission, stationed in fresh
water.
A SENSATIONAL DAT.
Washington. Auzust 10. This was the
first day In the senate sine the tariff J "J"1 walt nt these soldiers are

the tariff debate, was again in the vanthe governor;
of the fray. His resolution directing
the tariff conferrees to report the dif-l

was the sensation. It was blmost adopt-!

developed, however, to show the tem
per of the senate conferrees.

an hour after the conference began the
senate confen-ees left the room and
met Gorman. Other conservatives were
sent for, and it Is said the point has
been reachad where a decision one way
or another must be reached.
PULLMAN'S MODEL CITY.
The Strikers nre to be- Evicted to Make
" Room for the New Workmen.
Chicago, August 10. Geo. M. Pullman
Is back from Castle Rest and Newport,
but he declines to be Interviewed. His
home is still guarded by private watch
men who keep watch on any one who
stops to glance at the abiding place
of tho president of the $36,000,000 cor
poration. The Post prints the following
from Pullman:
"Pullman's tenants will be evicted."
Vice President Wyckes said today:
"The company claims that It must have
the houses for Its new employes to live
in, and as the strikers have been camp
ing in Pullman flats without paying a
cent for rent, the last three months,
they must get out. The company's
houses cover about 3,000 people at pres
ent. These 3,000 consist of striking
workmen and their families. There
are about 1000 new men In the Bhops
that have families, and they desire to
live near their work. The old employes
must make way for the new."
The eviction Is the very last thing
the people liavo looked for. One wom
an of Fulton Bnid: "Surely they will
not put us out. Where would we go?
We have not money enough to buy a
bushel of conl. We have no clothes,
and tho American public will not stand
by Pnd see a thousand families ren
dered homelera."
Put that Is undoubtedly what must
bo done, so It Is necessary that the
company take a decisive action. The
outlook for the present population of
the model town Is not full of cheer.
In fact, it. la desperate.
DECLINE OF CORN.
Report of the Statistician of Agricul
ture.
Washington, August 10. The month
ly report of the statistician of agri
culture shows, a decline of corn of near
ly 28 points since July "1. The average

ern states. In some localities the crop
has been Injured beyond recovery,
while in others, timely rains would
go far toward assuring fair yields,

fallen since the last report 1.3 points,
be, C7 1 asaInst 68 4 for the month of
July.
The condition by states is as follows:
Wisconsin, 79; Minnesota, 70; Iowa, 82;

MORE TROOrS FOR SOUTH OMAHA
The Strikers Offer Little Reslstence to
the Soldiers.
Omaha, August 10. Several more
companies of troops from the Interior
of the state arrived tonight and were
at once rushed Into South Omaha. The
strikers are quiet and offer little re
sistence to the soldiers. But the troops
have not relaxed their vigilance on the
j peaceful appearance, and squads of
' soldiers constantly patrol the streets
'and a gattllng gun Is unllmbered at
the Intersection of two streets where It
can sweep In all directions.
Many of tho strikers say it was not
necessary, to bring the soldiers, and
privately intimate they will have re

Associated Press. ,
Lincoln, Nob., August 10. It was
nearly dark before the frightful mass
of debris occupying the ravlno where
the Rock Island express wan wrecked
and burned five miles south of this city
last night, had cooled sufficiently to en
able the large crowd gathered at the
place In a hope of learning something
of the fate of friends or relatives, to
Inspect the charred mass In detail. The
tons of water thrown on the twisted
relics of tho train and the bed of em
bers had been insufficient to prevent
every vestige of tho combustible mat
ter being destroyad. Occasionally a
charred tkull or a partially burned
humanbone was raked from the bed
of the furnace, but nothing more re
mained to tell the tale of those who
went down with the Ill-fated train, and
time will be required to determine
how many persona were lost In the
wrek.
The Hat of the killed and Injured ns
furnished by tho coroner tonight swells
the fatalities to twenty-four, and are
as follows:

There are two theories as to the
wrecking of the train, it being con
ceded that, the train was deliberately
derailed by the removal of the rails
for a part of the way across tho trestle.
One theory Is that the strikers from
South Omaha did the wor':, believing
that state troops who were to have
boarded the train At Fairbury were
aboard. The company missed connec

by enemies of the road. Thrte men

UNRELIABLE NEWS.
Japanese Government Allows Only One
sided Reports to Get Out.
San Francisco, August 10. Tho
steamship City of Pekln which arrived
from Hong Kong and Yokohama, did
not have a single Chinese passenger on
board. There were only a few Japan
ese. The Chinese government persists
In its refusal to allow any Chinese to
leave the country. Among the passen
gers on the Pekln was Lieut. D. L.
Wilson, of the United States steam
ship Baltimore. He states that it Is
almost impossible to obtain any relia
ble Information from the Japanese pa
pers, as the government allows very
little news of any Importance to be
published, and what the government
does allow to become public is so one
sided as to be unreliable. Lieut. Wil
son says that both Bides are preparing
for a struggle, and that time nlono will
tell what the outcome will be.
THE RUSSIAN FLEET.

strictly her neutral position, but as
soon as a constitutional change occurs
in Corea, she will resolutely protect
her Interests,"
The dispatch states that France has
declared her readiness to co-operato
with tho Russian' fleet In the far enst.

Eastern War News A lready Anticipated
by Cable.
San Francisco, August 10. ThJ City
of Pekln from Hong Kong July 11, and
Yokohama July 26, arrived early this
morning. Of all the war news brought,
by the Pekln, very little has not been

rean government by Japan, When the

not formally declared.
, LI HUNG STILL VICEROY.
London, August 10. A correspondent
of tho Times at Tien Tsln declares that

true. A further denial Is made of the
