VOTE LAST OF WEEK.
Washington, July 2u. The indications
wiw n the en;it adjourned wen; that a
vote would U; reached upon the confer
ence -report on the tariff bill ume time
ruxt Thursday, or at latest before the
close of the week. There may be a
change of conditions which will postpone
vote, but It Is difficult to see what
would cause It. The opposition will real
ise thiu there is no KKwiblltty of pre
venting the adoption of the report, end
their pretent purpose Is only to secure
what idvant.-ute they can by exhibiting
what they claim are the Inconsistencies
In th. measure. At one time they haj
onic hoie of securing a recommittal
of tlie bill, but a tho rough canvas, re
veals no foundation for this hope. It
develops Die fact that the republicans
will vote solidly for the report and will
be sinpiiortcd by Jones of Nevada, and
McEnery, and also Mantle and Stewart.
They have also discovered that Kyle,
who Is absent, left Instructions that ha
wits not to bo paired. With the adoption
of the report the democrats will probably
rot attempt to prolong the debHte beyond
the arrival of Turnley, the new senator
from Tennessee. They will continue to
ask for an explanation of the changes
ir..ile by the conference, but these will
not occupy a great deal of time.
The general opinion Is that a quorum
of tho senate will disappear veir soon
after the disposal of the tariff bill, but
tne determination of the supporters of
Harris' Pacific railroad resolution to re
cure a, vote upon It before final adjourn,
ment may delay that consummation for
some days.
LAND OFFICES FOR YUKON.
Washlnjrton. July 20. Commissioner
Hermann, of the general land otF.et,
stated today that he will recommend the
estitblishmont of two land districts in
western Alaska, two offices to be placed
on the Yukon river or Its tributaries. In
anticipation 'of the great number of con
tentions over mineral land locations In
the various sections where diseovtrles
have been made. He saya that the re
gion Is practically without law and es
pecially as to the settlement of gold
lands, and that It will be of Indefinite
value to land In this respect, and indi
rectly "to the preservation ot law and
order to establish such offices. It Is
probable offices will be located at Circle
City and Dawson City. The general laud
office Is in hourly expectation of petitions
and requests for such action.

of his father, Alexander III., which or
dered that every non.orthodox person in
Russia who married on orthodox person
should sign a document declaring that
