WHERE ARE THEY AT? No Idea When the Muddle M ill Be 'Straightened Out aud au Agree ment Reached. Associated Press. Washington, August 11. The expect ed did not happen In the senate today. Twenty-four hours gave the Democrats time to consider their policy and plans to such an extent that they were ready to take action upon the Important Hill resolution, which caused the parlia mentary battle of yesterday. Today the proceedings were Interesting, but they did not reach the high pitch of excitement that was expected. There wag too much talk about parliamentary, and not ' enough about couses of the differences between the conferrces to make the scenes rival those of the senate when the first tariff disagree ment was discussed. There was Just enough to whet the appetites of specta tors for more, but a final vote on Cock reil'a motion to go Into executive ses sion showed that the Democrats were going to make one more effort to pull themselves together.. This showed that many Democrats believe that Sen ator Hill's resolution was Intended to defeat the bill. The proposition of Senator Turple that the present con ferrees should resign and others be appointed. Indicated a desire which has long been known to exist among the many Democratic senators that confsrrees should be appointed who would make reasonable concessions to the house, agree upon a compromise more secure, and report to the senate, and that the senate pass upon It. The discussion has developed the dif ferences of opinion as to which body has possession of the tariff bill, Senator Coekrell saying emphatically that the house has, and others declaring that It should by right be In the custody of the senate. great cable Incline railway, and will In future flash Its rays over the San Gabriel valley from the summit of Echo Mountain.

The tariff bill Is In a cloud tonight, and there are as many opinions as to Its present status and as to its future as there are political groups. The surface Demo crats today showed the Democrats ot the senate were willing to pull to gether again for the time lib order to see if the caucus of the house Demo crats would offer any solution of the house, approved by the speaker and re quested by the house con ferrees shows that the leaders of that body have become greatly concerned over the fate of the bill, in the acknowledgment that It Is In a critical state. But neither the action of the senate in delaying the Hll! resolution nor the call of the caucus by the house Democrats insures the passage or defeat of the bill, nor yet does It certainly mean the senate bill or nothing. There are many who be lieve the Democratic caucus Monday will result in the final success of the senate bill, and that this action will be taken because the Democrats of the house, or a majority of them, will not want to risk any vote whatever in the senate for fear of killing all tariff leg islation. This feeling, however, was stronger at 2 o'clock than at 6 today. It. is quite probable the time which has been granted will be devoted to recon ciling differences, making a compromise bill hurriedly, and with the least pos slble friction, and passing It as quickly as possible providing such action will be acceptable to the house caucus. The parliamentary tangle In which the bill is now passed, if no report Is made by the senate conferrees, has caused con siderable discussion and the opinion Is divided as to the course opened to the house. As those tangles, however, would all unravel at once If tnc wings of the Democratic party again flapped In harmony, and the agreement on a report were reached by the conferrec present, the questions remaining un answered are: "Will the house caucus decide to take the senate bill, or will I the decision be reached to make on more effort to agree on a compromise bill. It is oonceded by almoat all par ties now that fewer concessions are to be expected from the senate than could have been obtained a week ago; that the outlook now l between no bill, the senate bill, and the senate bill modified, but not to a great degree. NO RATE ON WHEAT YET. Trnmc Arrangements' With the .North' em Puclflc Will Be Made. - Portland, August 11. At the conclu sion of the conference today between Receiver, McNeill and General Freight Agent Cfimphell, of the Oregon Hallway and Navigation company and Assistant General Freight Agent Fulton, of the Northern raclflc, it Is given out that nothing as yet hns boon fully decided Vpon In the matter of the reduction of rates on wheat; but that a decision will be reached In a few days. Whatever to done will be the result of a joint onfer ence between the Oread Northern, Nor thern Pacific, and O. R. and N. It Is understood If the rates are reuced now the reduction will only be tem porary. Receiver Oakes, of the Nor thern Pacific, Is expected hero early next week. In addition to the discussion of a re duction of wheat rates, lb Is believed while he 13 here the question of traffic arrangements beteewn the O. R. and N. and the Northern Pacific will be taken up with a view of letting the Northern Into Portland over the O. R. a,ml N. from Wallula. Judge Bellinger today ratified the traffic agreement of the O. H. and N. with Ui Great Northern and the Union Pacific Receiver McNeill petitioned the' United States court to set aside the Oregon Huilwuy and Navigation lease of the Oregon Railway Extension com pany and the Idaho Railway company.

(Copyrighted, 1S94, by Associated Tress) Berlin, August 11. Cholera is slowly but surely spreading westward. The disease has obtained a foothold tii"iilne teen Russian provinces where deaths by tho hundreds are recorded dally. Cholera exists lni Beven districts of Gollcla and scores of deaths from the disease take place every day !. that section. In Prussia, and especially In DanU, the situation grows." worse in spite of the closing of the frontier at Golub, on the river Drewens opposite Dobrozln, Poland.

The gunbouts litis and Wolfe are al ready In Chinese wutere, and with the cruisers sent to the far east lust week, and the Cormorant and Condor, Ger many will have a total force ot seven ships and a thousand men In the vicin ity of Corea. It Is estimated that nearly 30,000 Rus sian troops are in Eastern Siberia, and they have with them 64 heavy guns. This, In connection with the fnct that Russlu has sent eight warships under sealed orders to Corea, and that the commander In chief of E-,orn Siberia has been ordered to hold vroops In that district in readiness io march at any moment, is regarded as signifi cant. The Japanese diplomats here ex press perfect confidence that tho pow ers will not- permit China to aiux Corea. ; ancsc present signed the constitution requiring loyalty to their country, and signifying their willingness to enlist and go home in defense of their coun try.
