The Finance Committee of the Senate yes
terday reported the tariff bill to that body.
There are changes without limit, practically
all of them being in the nature of a reduc
tion. It is thought the bill will pass the
Senate about es reported. Then will come
the tug of war with the House.
Iprom a sjxrr cobsesfoxdxxt.1
"Washington, June 18. The McKin
Iey tariff bill, what is left of it, was reported
to the Senate to-day from the Senate Finance
Committee, and, though some changes hare
been made back in the direction of the origi
nal bill from those reported in these telegrams
irom time to time, the most important ones
arc practically as reported they wonld be,
in spite ot the earnest protests of manufac
turers from every pari of the country.
The treatment of the amended bill by the
House is problematic. Among the high
tariff men there is novsy.as there has been
all along, great indignation on account of
the action of the Senate, not the less bitter
because it was necessary to curb its ex
pressions. It Mny Depend on the Democrat!.
But there are a number of conservative
Republicans like Buiterworth, Henderson,
of Iowa, and a few others, who may be able
to muster a sufficient following to secure a
concurrence in the Senate amendments pro
Tided the Democrats will rote as a body for
tbc amended bill. There is some talk of
this among the Democrats, on account ot
the fact that the passage of the bill as
amended would be a virtual defeat of the
McKinley bill, and the enactment of some
thing in the direction of a Democratic low
tariff measure.
It is not probable, however, that the body
of the Democrats can be induced to take
such a step, as there are many leatures of
the bill remaining to which they seriously
object, and to which they could not be recon
ciled. It is not probable that the general
debate in the Senate will change materially
the present form of the bill, as in such
matters and in accordance with party disci
pline, the will of the committee in charge of
the bill is law.
A Lone Fight In Sight.
The probabilities are that it will go to the
House practically as it now reads, that the
real tariff men of that body will secure a dis
agreement with most of the important
amendments of the Senate and that there
will be a long contest over the amendments
in contention in the committee on confer
ence. And there will be the last oppor
tunity for the manufacturers to influence
adherence to the terms of the McKinley bill
by urging the leaders of the House to insist
on their disagreement with the Senate
amendments.
The changes set forth below are from the
House bill as it passed:

A LONG CONTEST AHEAD.
SILVER SITUATION MORE COMPLICATED
THAN EVER.
The House Democrats Receive the Senate
Amendments With Applnase A Speedy
Vote on the Changes) Probable Then the
.measure Will Go to a Conference.
rrnOM jl staff cOBBXsroiauENT.l
"Washington, Jane 18. The rejection
by a strict party vote of the motion of Rep
resentative Bland that the committee of the
whole rise, tbe .purpose being to take at
once tbe sense of the House on the amended
silver bill, is no indication of the feeling in
the House in regard to that measure. The
Democrats met with applause the return of
the bill to the House with its drastic amend
ments, and the Hepublicans applauded
loudly the party vote which rejected the
proposition ot Sir. Bland, and this was by
many accepted as an earnest of the antago
nizing of the amended bill by the Bepubli
cans. It was nothing more than a refusal to al
law a Democrat to lorce a consideration of
the bill, and especially so objectionably
partisan a Democrat as Air. Bland. The
Republicans, moreover, did not propose to
be in haste about taking the Tote on concur
rence or non-concurrence in the amend
ments of the Senate. AH sorts of stories are
in circulation as to the consideration of the
matter being deferred by the parliamentary
complication which gives opportunity to
prevent the bill from coming before the
House, but there is no substance in them.
"When the proper time comes, and that
may be to-morrow, upon a motion from a
Republican, the vote will be taken on the
question for concurrence. It will almost
undoubtedly result in a refusal to concur as
touching some oi the most important amend
ments, and then a conference will be asked,
and the two Houses will each appoint their
conferees, and then will come the contest in
that committee. The prospects are for the
speedy passage of some kind of silver bill.but
whether it Will be the extreme measure of
the Senate is very.doubtlul.if the judgment
of some very high authorities in the House
is to be accepted.
TO BE BEPOBTED TO-DAY.
The Fleht Upon tbe Federal Election BUI
Will Soon Commence.
"Washington, June 18. The House
CominitteeonElectionof President and Vice
President and Representatives in Congress
to-day formally decided by a party vote to
report to the House with some amendments
tbe Federal election bill agreed upon in the
Bepublican caucus on Monday night.
Bepresentative Lodge will prepare the re
port and expects to get it in the House to
morrow. The minority members of the com
mittee will also prepare a report in opposi

Philadelphia, June 18. Insanity
caused by illness was the incentive for
Charles Yarnall, aged 75 years, ending his
life this morning. Oi late he had become
possessed of the hallucination that the cen
sus enumerators and agents of the Law
and Order Society had conspired to kill
him. He arose about 2 o'clock this morning
and told his wife he was going down stairs
for some Jamaica ginger.
Mrs. Locue, next door, heard groans com
ing from Yarnall's yard about 4 o'clock and
aroused the family. The old man was found
lying in the yard with his throat cut from
ear to ear. The weapon used was a dirk
knife. He was removed to the Pennsylvania
Hosnital and died in a short time.
HOPE FADING AWAY
That the Entombed Hill Farm Miners
May Yet Be Alive.
SERIOUS EUM0KS ARE AFLOAT
That Inspector Keignley Had Condemned
the Burning Mine.
SHOULD THE MEN BE FOUND DEAD,
Fears cf an Outbreak are Apparent, as the Police Hue
Seen Doubled.
The situation at the burning mine remains
unchanged, and as the rescuers . near the
completion of their work volunteers are be
coming scarce. 'Tis claimed that the mine
had been previously condemned. Experts
state that the men will be reached by noon
to-day.
SPECIAL TELXOBAIC TO THB DISPATCH.!
Dunbab, PA., June 18. The progress
made to-day toward the burning mines has
been more than discouraging. The rescuing
party digging in from the Mahoning shaft
were making rapid progress all day, but
toward evening it was found that the open
ing made was too narrow to admit the work
ing of even one man freely. Besides this,
it was soon seen that notwithstanding the
great draft, there was no room in the nar
row passage for air enough to sustain even
the single worker. The headway made by
this narrow cutting was very satisfactory,
and.it seemed for a time as if the men, or at
least the Hill mine chambers, would bo
reached to-night.
EXPEBIENCING 2IA8T DIFFICULTIES.
As the men advanced, however, the air
grew thinner, until at last the leader had to
be relieved every few minutes. This was
finally found impracticable, and it was de
cided that the passage must be cut wide
enough to permit the free swinging of one
pick at least and the ingress of fresh air. As
a consequence, the men began away DacK
along tbe passage, and are now widening it
sufficiently to admit not only air,
but permit tbe passage of a car.
This car is being built especially for
this purpose and is very high and very nar
row. A rail is also being laid in order that
the wreck can be removed the easier, as the
inspector says the present progress is all
right, but it must soon come to a stop, un
less the passage is widened. This will
throw the work back many hours, as the
wreck had been already piled into holes
and tramped or pounded to one side until
the entrance can hold no more, and as a re
sult the stuff must now be handled by cars
and dumped on the outside.
"WDBKINO LIKE HEEOES.
There is one thing, and only one, that
points to a speedy solution of the question,
and that is that the rescuing squads are still
driving bravely away through fallen slate,
"gobs" and wreckage. They are evidently
still in long-abandoned chambers of the
Mahoning mine, and these sidings lead
toward the burning mines, and their prog
ress will be rapid enough once they make
the entry wider. The fact that they are
still in the partially opened passages shows
that the owners aud engineers were right in
their deductions, no matter what the result
might be. They are a very close-mouthed
set all around, as the men who know the
cause and probable result refuse to talk,
while those who do not know, are only too
free with their opinions. As a result
several haggard and wild-eyed rumors
are floating about that serve only to keep
up the excitement, but rather retard the
work of rescue than otherwise. One of those
rumors, especially, will bear investigation,
though it will ston at the door of Keiehlev.
the mine inspector, who can explain when he
will. He refuses to talk on the subject
now, and says, it is not worth considering,
HAD THE MINE BEEN CONDEMNED?
This report has been floating about for
two days -and is to the effect that he had
condemned the mine in his last report This
he denies. The facts, so far as known, are
that he made a sddden visit May 19, and re
appeared the next day. His report, how
ever, cannot be found, as it does hot hang
where the reports have hitherto in the
company's office. The men say it has been
taken away for safety, as the crowd
always standing about may take
it and leave the owners without
protection. The owners here say some
trouble had been met with, but nothing un
usual, as all mines here have had some
trifling gas. The extraordinary desire of
the owners to have it thought that there was
no explosion whatever looks rather queer.
There was an explosion, in fact three, not
load nor heavy, but unmistakable, and fol
lowing each other closely. The miners out
side have time now to think. And the feeling
is bitter, though as yet no one man can be
found who is able to place the blame on any
one, except perhaps on the unwitting man
whose open lamp ignited the gas.
SEABCHING FOE THE CAUSE.
That there has been gas in the mines is
shown by tbe fact that in the last visit of the
inspector he took away several safety lamps
irom tne .tun Harm miners, as he lound
them defective; that the danger was more
than ordinary, however, the officials deny.'
The idleness of the hundreds about the pit
is dangerous. Alter the first flash
of horror has passed away, and the
first deep grief has been over
come, there has come a feeling
among the men here that is more terrible
than either, for it promises to become uncon
trollable should it ever break out. The men
have seen the results of theexplosion, and
they are now seeking the cause, and should
it ever center on one man or on one com
pany, the passions of these miners will not
be one-half so easy to subdue as they
are to arouse. They are quiet,
willing and patient now, but they are bid
ing their time, as deep resentment is shown
in every man's breast when he talks of how
the disaster mizht have been averted, and
there are a score of good opinions to be had
on that score now when too late. The usual
secrecy of a coal region wreck has settled
over the men, and they will talk bnt little
of the blame. They are all union men, and
for that reason keep their meetings and talk
to themselves.
HELP BECOMING SCABCE.
The relief squads are harder to raise to
night than was expected. The latest ad
vices say the men are relieved every four
to six hours. As they draw nearer to tbe
burning mine, with each squad there is
another going in even more unwilling to
be found to enter. The closest relatives and
friends have long since exhausted their
energies, and the strangers coming in are
not nearly 80 1 willing to rise their lives
for others, probably dead. This feeling is
caused by the fear that the late falls in the
burning mine have driven the black damp
back into the chambers, and that it will be
released when they break through. The
rescuing party to-night is within 60 feet of
the Hill mine chambers, and they say if
nothing interferes they will reach there by
morning. The fan at the mouth of the Ma
boning is still idle, and probably will not
be used until the final break is made,
as they fear a draught any strong
er than the one now blowing through will
oniy tan tne names,
There is no doubt the rescuing party will
enter the -Hill mine below where the men
are supposed to be. But they say once
through, they will soon find tbe men, though
they expect them to be scattered. They
will seek the lowest levels first, as the old
miners would certainly hunt water, if alive.
A fan is also being put in the Ferguson
shaft in order to help clear the air when the
proper time comes, as a current of air Is
also noticeable there, tending toward the
Hill mine.
THE MEN MAT BE ALIVE.
The fact that there has been a steady cur
rent that way since the explosion leads
(Some to hope that the men may be found
anve, although their silence now seems to
ue eternal, ur tne nunareas wno nave
gone through all phases of hope to despair,
there is one wbose steadfast faith has been
more than encouraging, even when tbe affair
looked the blackest. David Davis, an
old "Welsh: miner, was at one time
entombed nine days in a mine
in Cornwall, and his wife never
gave up. She remembers that day, and
should David Davis ever emerge from the
mines here he will find a woman calmly
waiting at the door to welcome him. She
patiently repeats to all visitors that Davy
will come, and no amount of reasoning or
argument will make her believe that her
husband is not alive, and hoping for his
final return to her as placidly as she awaits
'liis coming. To-night hundreds are camp
ling about the mouth of the Mahoning mine,
as they expect every shift will bring the
welcome news that the Hill mine has been
reached.
FEAES FOB THE BESULT.
Should the men be recovered alive the ex
citement will be tremendous, -but should
they be found dead, there will be a reckon
ing. There are fears that the deep, sullen
resentment of the men cannot be controlled,
and the coal and iron police are being
doubled as the time draws near. The men
are good natured enough, ant!
patient enough, and all are united
on anything they do, but the two
sad funerals to-day, and perhaps the score,
to-morrow, try even the best of them. At
midnight the report is very encouraging for
an entry before noon to-morrow, but greater
caution is now observed, and it is a guess at
best whether the men will be found to-morrow
or not at all.
Vice President Hazzard, of the company,
who lives at Philadelphia, is here, and
offers anythiug to assist or to hurry the
work of finding the men. He concedes that
the Hill mines are lost, and will be satisfied
if the fire does not spread to adjacent mines.

Cleveland, June 18. The situation on
the railroads is practically the same to-day
that it has been since midnight Sunday.
The strikers give no indication of surrender
and no effort has been made in public by
the railroad companies to effect a compro
mise or come to terms with the switchmen.
Unknown to many of tbe strikers the Lake
Shore road has been doing considerable
work at its yard in Collinnood, where 15
men have been engaged in making up
trains, which left with a considerable
quantity of freight during the day. The
Lake Shore switchmen now declare that
they had no grievance, and only went out
from sympathy. The statement is probably
indicative of their desire to return to work,
and they will, doubtless, be the first to
break the strike, if any break from the men
comes at all.
On the Erie, Valley and Pennsylvania
roads the men are as 'determined as ever,
and declare that they will not retnrn to
work without the advance under any condi
tion whatever. The Eberhard Manufactur
ing Company, employing over 1,000 men,
was to-day supplied with fuel by the drop
ping of cars to the works by gravity. Other
wise the shops would have been compelled
to shut down. Stock trains on the Nickel
Plate road have been abandoned, and tbe
poor animals confined in the cars are dying
lor want of food and water. Not an engine
can be secured to draw them to a point
where relief can be served. The Valley
road declares that it has sufficient men to do
the work required on Us tracks, but the
union men say they will not touch a car
handled by non-union switchmen.
The Mayor issued a proclamation to-day
warning the strikers that if anv trouble
arose he would grant all the police protec
tion in his power, and if that was not suffi
cient he would call out the militia. The
strikers were greatly enraged and declared
that they bad no intention whatever of
causing trouble or doing any damage. It
is reported late to-night that three roads
will be in working order in the morning.

Philadelphia, Junel8. SenatorQuay,
accompanied by bis son, Richard, and
Frank "Willing Leacb, arrived in this city
this evening and registered at the Conti
nental Hotel. His coming was not expected
until to-morrow, and as a consequence the
local leaders, with few exceptions, failed to
put in an appearance. Quite a number of
out-of-town Bepublicans, who were callers
on Chairman Andrews, when they learned
of Senator Quay's arrival, called upon him.
Among them wereF. K. Martin and Senator
Mylin, of Lancaster; Representative Kreps,
of Lebanon; Messrs. Fox and Keim, of
Berks county; George Pearson, Governor
Beaver's private secretary, and Bepresenta
tive D. D. Phillips, of Schuylkill county.
Among the other callers were President
of the State Senate Boies Penrose, Collector
of Internal Bevenue David Martin, Senator
Delamater, Mercantile Appraiser Harry
Hunter, Joseph L. Nobre, Magistrate
Abern, Linn Hartranlt, General Huide
koper and Chief Clerk Morrison, of the
State'House of Representatives.
Senator Quay declined to say anything re
garding the outcome of the State Conven

nomination. He said that some time during
his stay in the city, which will be for a tevr
days, he intended calling upon Mayor Fit
ler, with whom he is on very friendly terms,
after which he will leave for Beaver.
Speaking ot his reported intention to attend
the State Convention as a delegate the Sen
ator, with a smile, anbounced that he had
lost the proxy whish Colonel Moody, of
Beaver, had kindly tendered him, and he
felt afraid that possibly he might not be ad

Senator Quay will devote the greater part
of .his time at Harrisburg to the preparation
of a party platform, which will be carefully
examined by the leaders throusbout the
State in attendance at the convention prior
to its submission. The platform, among
other things, will indorse the McKinley tar

incoming Legislature of the Sexton ballot

Every Quay organ in the State, he said,
was filled with false news and highly col

was plain as a pike staff that Mr. Quay
wants the Democrats to nominate a candi

Lancastek, June 18. The Democrats
had the largest convention to-day that they
have held in years. Over 400 delegates
were present, besides many others from all
the three several representative districts in
the county. The following resolution was
passed unanimously and with cheers:
Resolved, That we present to the Democratic
State Convention William U. Hensel as our
condldate for Governor. We know him, we
have tried him, we trust him, and we commend
him as fully fit for the office, which be will fill
w ith credit to himself, to the party and to the
State.
The delegates chosen were the following,
who had been previously agreed upon by
friends of both "Wallace and Pattison, in
consultation with Hensel, and all of them
are personal and political friends of Hensel:
City, Chas. E. Downey, John J. Jefferies
and Dr. D. B. McCorinick; Southern dis
trict, Geo. "W. Hensel and Charles Beam;
Northern district, A. B. Hambright, John
Westerman, Dr. B. J. Beimsnyder, Earl,
Isaac Fautz and Solomon Zeamcr. Consid
erable disposition manifested itself,
however, to kick against the prear
ranged slate because some of the delegates
who were anti-Wallace desired that the Pat
tjson feeling should express itself more posi
tively than in assenting to some delegates
who, after Hensel, preler "Wallace to Patti
son. In the city district a movement was
started last night to beat Downey and Jeff
ries, but it failed in the lower end. The op
position candidates mustered eight or ten
votes, and in the upper district one of the
slated delegates, Hambright. came within
five votes of being beaten by I. G. Fontz,
who is an ardent Hensel man, but preferring
Pattison to "Wallace, opposed Hambrcht,
who is suspected of being friendly to "Wal
lace. A good many Pattison delegates.however,
stuck to Hambright solely because he had
been agreed upon. The big fight of the
day was over County Commissioner, and it
was won by George S. Boone, of Salisbury.
Brice Curran, of Marietta, was chosen
Auditor and the nomination for Congress
went to D. F. Magee, of Little Britain.

A foreign Anarchist appeared at a meet
ing of the New York reds last night. He
was denounced as a spy, and a small riot
ensued. The newly-arrived agitator was
severely handled during the scuffle.
rSTZCIAX. TELECBAM TO THE DISPATSSJCI
NewYobk, June 18. Herr Joseph,' Peu
kert, an Austrian Anarchist who arrived
in this city on Monday, made his debut ia
Clarendon Hall to-night under yery trying
circumstances. He is suspected by many
ot his brother Anarchists of being a German
spy, whose mission it is to foment serious
disturbances in their ranks, so that the
United States Government maybe indueed
to sign a treaty with Germany to extradita
political refugees.
Herr Penkert has been in prison twice,
and when he went to London in 1884, ho
said he had jnst been banished from his na
tive land. Herr Most who was then in Lon
don, at first befriended him but later de
nounced him as a spy.
A SUSriCIOTJS CHABACTEB.
Herr Penkert has never been able to
clear himself of this accusation to every
body's satisfaction. "When it was announced
that he had arrived in New York and wonld
make his formal entree into Anarchistic cir
cles at Clarendon Hall to-night, everybody
knew that there would be a row. There
were over 1,000 Anarchists present, two of
whom were women.
The Chairman, Herr Prettio, introduced
Herr Penkert as a brother from a foreign
land. He told the audience that if they
wanted to win they had better not pay any
taxes. "When he sat down there was a
painful silence. Presently Adolph Schenk
arose.
"I came here to-night," he said, "to hear
this man who has come among us, deny all
the stories that have been told and written
about him. He has studiously avoided
doing anything of the kind. I now believe
that these stories are based on facts. "Who
is that man who steps before us and asks to
be recognized as a brother? Do you know
him? I do. He is a traitor, a villain, 3
scoundrel and the victim of his treachery,
David Neve, is spending the sweetest years
of his life in a German prison."
AlkxCITINO SCENE.
The audience grew excited. The Most
faction yelled "bravo," while those in tha
front seats cried: "Sit down, shut up, yon
lie." There was a general hubbub and tha
Anarchists in the front seats advanced and
surrounded Schenk, who, undaunted, placed
his hands to his mouth, like a speaking
trumpet, and cried at the top of his voice:
"Neve, Neve!" Penkert, who sat in a cor
ner, attempted to pacify Schenk. "My dear
friend," be said, "I don't know anything
about Neve."
One young man grasped a hesvy-cafle and
said he wanted 'to break the traitor's
skull." The Chairman mounted a table and
cried: "Himmel Donnerwetter, are you all
crazy?"
"Let him deny the stories. Let tho
traitor show proof. Nevel Neve!" cama
from different parts of the hall. Somebody
took advantage of the confusion to kick
Herr Penkert vigorously from behind, and
a red-headed Anarchist pulled his nose. In
the midst of the tumult the lights were sud
denly extinguished and the Anarchists
made a break for the door.

ERS OF FARMER UMBERGER,
For Which Crime tbe Nicely Boys, of Som

From Greensbnrsr Which Pats a Differ
ent Phase on the Matter.
rSPICIAL TZXEQSAU TO THB DISPATCH.!
Indiana, June 18. The Nicely boys,
convicted of the robbery and murder of
Farmer TJmberger, have brightened up since
the receipt of a letter from a sister, in which,
she states that a confession has been made
by one John Beach, of Somerset county, to
having murdered TJmberger, ami implicat
ing a man named Miller from the same
connty, as an accomplice. The story as
given by the Nicely girl, is that a certain
Justice of the Peace presented himself at
Somerset recently, made affidavit that John
Beach had appeared before him and con
fessed that he and a man named Miller had
killed TJmberger, and that the Nicely boys
had nothing whatever to do with the
murder.
The sister's story lacks confirmation, and
in some respects looks improbable. Some
of the Court House officials believe it was
cooked up to influence the Board of Pardons,
before whom their case will be brought
again. i
A special from Greensbnrg gives a differ
ent version of the alleged confession. It
says: A rumor is in circulation here to
night to the effect that a man named Pat
Cavanaugh, a convict in Somerset jail, ha
confessed to the murder of old man TJm
berger. The confession is alleged to have
been procured through the efforts of the
father of the Nicely boys. It is said he has
the papers in his pocket and will arrive here
in the morning and make affidavit to the
papers. Cavanaugh is an eccentric indi
vidual and lived in the neighborhood of ths
Nicelys.
