"Washington, July 7. Some alarm was evident among the high tariff people to-day an account of the action of the Senate in refusing to take up the tariff bill, as had been expected for the last week. All sorts of rumors were afloat. Republican Senators were alleged to be conniving at the defeat of the tariff bill, and every thing was wrong and threatening because everything was misunderstood. The plan adopted to-day will not interfere in any way with the passage of the bill and will facilitate legislation. The chipping bills will soon be gotten out of the way, the silver bill will be disposed of this week; possibly the river and harbor bill will be also taken up and disposed of before ithe tariff bill is reached, and then every ,jhing will be out of the way for the long discussion which will ensne on that meas ure, the election bill taking its chances in the dog days after the tariff bill is passed. TTE -WANT SOUTH AMERICA'S XBASE. Senator Hale said this afternoon to The Dispatch correspondent, that there was no intention to antagonize the tariff bill; that the shipping bills would occupy but a short time and that he had no doubt of the adop tion of the committee's proposition and that America wonld soon be in a position to compete with Europe for the South Ameri can trade. Mr.jFarquhar, of the Committee ojvSTr;. chant Marino- --tt.--nr..)saia'tney were waitlnglbr the Senate in the matter of the snbsidy bill, and that he felt sanguine if it passed the Senate it would have no trouble in the House. The most amusing feature connected with the reiusal of the Senate to take up the tariff bill was the vote of the silver men with the Democrats, by which Senator Sherman and Representatives Conger and "Walker were scared over to the position of Senator Jones. JOKES WINS THE DAT. These Republicans of the Silver Confer ence Committee had been wrestling with Jones since Saturday to induce him to agree td 4,000,000 ounces instead of 4,500,000 as the quantity of silver to be purchased each month, and so the dispute stood until the vote on taking up the tariff bill to-day, when Jones, Teller and their silver Republican colleagues voted with the Democrats. Sherman at once songht out Conger and "Walker and called on Jones and conceded the other COO.OOO ounces a month without a murmur. The Democratic members of the committee were then asked to meet with the Republicans, and the report warpractically agreed to all around, except that the Demo crats will not sign it. That will make no difference, however, and it is considered this evening that the silver problem is settled for the present, as a majority of both branches are expected to agree tq the comerence report this week. Ltghtneb. SILVER QUESTION SETTLED. THE WESTERN MEN BY A LITTLE PLOMACY WIN THE DAY. Dl- Poor nnd One-Hair million Ounces or Sil ver Will bp Punched Each Month Tho Bill Will be Passed ThI. Week Coinage "Increased Until 1S91. "Washington, July 7. The conferees on the part of the two houses this afternoon reached an agreement on the points of difference on the silver bill. This result, which was hardly expected to be reached so soon was" brought about in this way: After the first ineffectual conference last Thurs-" day, the Republican members decided that an agreement could be more speedilv and satisfactorily readied by a party consulta tion rather than in a conference open to both political parties. Accordingly, Senators Sbermaa and Jones and Repre sentatives Conger and Walker entered npon the task of drafting a compromise measure. They progressed so rapidly in this, that the conference substitute was completed in all essential points save one and sent to the printer yesterday. The one point left open related to the amount or silver bullion to be purchased. Messrs. Sherman, Conger and "Walker thought that 4,000,000 ounces monthly would be a fair compromise, but Senator Jones de clared for 4,600.000 ounces. Such was the state of affairs this morning when overtures were again made to Senator Jones to accept 4,250,000 ounces. The "Western Senators were in receipt of telegrams urging them to bold ont for the full amount of 4,500,000 ounces, and to insist npon a speedy disposi tion of the bill. So the overtures were re jected and when the proposition was made to take up the tariff bill in the Senate this afternoon, the silver men manifested their ,power to check the flow of party legislation unless their demands were met. Soon afterward the Republican members or the conference were called together; the words "Five hundred thousand" 'were added to the 4,000,000 ounces contained in the printed conference substitute, and the agreement was completed. Senator Sherman spent a few ainntes In j biTHE drafting the formal report to the Senate, and then notified the Democratic members Senator Harris and Representative Bland that another conference was to be held. This time the Conference Committee was in session abont half an honr. The agreement was formally ratified, although the Demo cratic members refused to sign the report. The substitute -provides that the Sec retary of the Treasury shall purchase from time to time silver bullion to the ag gregate "amount ot 4,500,000 ounces, or so much thereof as may be offered, in each month, at the market price thereof, not ex ceeding$l for 371 25-100 grain of pare sil ver. The Treasury notes issued in payment for the bullion shall be redeemable in coin and a legal -tender in payment of all debts, public and private, except where otherwise stipulated in ths contract, and shall be receivable for customs, taxes and all publio dues. Upon demand of the holder of the Treasury notes the Secretary of the Treasury shall, under such regulations as he may prescribe, re deem snob, notes in gold and silver coin, at his discretion, it being the established policy Of the United States to maintain the two metals on a parity with each other upon the present leiral ratio, or such ratio as may be provided by law. The Secretary of the Treasure shall each month coin 2,000,000 ounces of the silver uuiuon purcnasea uuaer tne provisiuus oi the act into standard silver dollars nntil the first day of July, 1891, and alter that time he shall coin of the silver bullion purchased under the provisions of the act as much as may be necessary to provide for the re demption of the Treasury notes. The present law is repealed. The last section provides for covering into the Treasury the fund held for the re demption of National Bank circulation. RULED BY' RAILROADS ISTHEDIRECTCHARGEMAOEBYA MEM BER OF THE HOUSE. The Influence of the Norther a Pacific Com pam Felt In Legislation Reed Likened Unto a Joai Discussion of Ibe Land Grant Forfeltnre BilL Washington, D. C, Jnly 7. In the House to-day, the Speaker having directed the Journal to be read, Mr. Rogers, of Ar kansas, raised the point of order that there was no quorum present. The speaker counted 91 members, and on motion of Mr. McKinley, of Ohio, a call of the House was ordered. One hundred and sixty-seven members a quorum having responded to their names, the Journal of Thursday's pro ceedings was read. On motion of Mr. Payson, of Illinois, the House went into committee of the whole (Mr. Peters, of Kansas, in the chair), for the consideration of a bill to forfeit certain lands heretofore granted for the purpose of aiding in the construction of railroads, with a House substitute therefor. He explained that the bill in its general provisions pro posed to forfeit and restore to the public domain all public lands, wherever situated, which have been granted in aid of the con struction where the railroads nave not oeen completed at this time. There had, be said. been 37 railroads aided by acts of Congress which had not been completed within the time fixed by Congress. Twelve of these roads had been forfeited, comprising nearly 50,000,000 acres. That left 25 roads which had not been acted upon. Nine had been fully completed. That left 16 rail roads which were now uncompleted and the House substitute recommended a forfeiture of all lands lyicg opposite such portions of the roads as were not now constructed. It was his opinion that -no bill of a broader character than this could ever pass the Sen ate and become a law, .A esrefu I estimate was to the effe:t that USeUill was to rutore 7,500,000 acres to the public domain. Mr. Oates, of Alabama, approved the bill because it forfeited only the lands situated along the nnconstrncted portion of the roads. Mr. Stone, of Missouri, took the position that a forfeiture should be made of all lands which had not been earned by the railroads at the time fixed in the granting acts for the completion of the roads. The Northern Pacific road, he said, was most vitally interested in this measure. He quoted from speeches made by Mr. Payson in the Forty-eighth and Forty-ninth Con gresses upholding the right of Contrress to forfeit the lands unearned at the time fixed by the granting acts, and attacked that gen tleman for what he declared was his change of front The pending legislation, the rail road companies, especially the Northern Pacific, demanded of Congress, the Speaker (Reed), in the Forty-seventh Con gress, when Chairman of the Judiciary Committee, had reported that Congress had no power to forfeit an acre of the Northern Pacific grant. Since then Thomas B. Reed had been the recognized friend and zealous champion of that great, arrogant and cor rupt corporation on the floor of the House. This corporation knew its friends and it stood by them most loyally. It was an open secret which had been audibly whispered throughout the country, that no influence had been more potential in the organization of the House than that exerted by the Northern Paoific Railroad. The passage of the bill under consideration was a matter of the first importance to this corporation. The bill would pass. The pins had been set with that end in view. The bosses must insist upon it; .they could not do otherwise. And the rest of the poor fellows on the other side of the aisle with their hands tied and lips silent, except when their parliamenliirv joss untied the one that they mitrht clap their applause to his utterances, "and at tuned the other that they might chant a servile chorus to the commanding tones of his majestic solos, must follow blindly wherever thev were led. This bill, lufa mous as it was, would go upon the 'statute books. But beyond these men, and beyond their parliamentary autocrat, was a great constituency the people of the United States and to that forum would be carried this cause, which the majority stood ready to betray. Pending further debate the ociamittee rose and the House adjourned. "- A PERPETUAL C0NGBESS. Bnt Little Prospect or an Adjournment Until Fall. tTBOK A STACT COERE8POHDEJT.3 "Washington, July 7. No one can tell when Congress will adjourn. There are rumors of deals between the two parties re garding the tariff and election bills.

A Minority Report Issued Regarding the Adulteration of Food and Drags. "Washington, July 7. Senator Bates, from the Committee on Agriculture and Forestry, to-day submitted a report of the minority on the bill reported some weeks ago to prevent the adulteration ot food and drugs. The report states the minority rec ognizes the propriety of "every tub standing on Its own bottom," whether it contains pure drngs or compound drngs, pure lard or compound lard, but cannot assent to Con gress "knocking the bottom" out of one ar ticle of food to help another, or one drug for the benefit of another or of compound lard to deprive hogs' lard of competition. It is believed, says the minority, that such would be the inevitable result of the pass age of this bill. PADDED FOB POLITICAL PUBP0SES. A Bcconct Demanded In Five Conins Dis tricts In San Francisco.

The census office has received a dispatch from Supervisor Davis, at San Francisco, concerning the padding of the census enumerators' lists which, it is claimed, was practiced there. The Supervisor says that there are but five enumeration districts in which he has any suspicion that padding was done. These districts are the ones where it is alleged ex tensive colbnization was carried on for political purposes prior to the laBt registra tion. Pnrther communications from Mr. Davis concerning the matter are expected at the office to-day or to-morrow.

Just as the flash of the lightning which killed him was seen. King's little girl, who had been very sick with lever, suddenly sprang up in bed exclaiming: "Papa's dead, papa's dead."

The thirteenth an nual convection of the American Flint Glassworkers' Union was called to ordei- by President William J. Smith, at Concordia Opera House at 10 a. m., to-day. The dele gates and members of local union No. 90, of this citv assembled at their hall, on Sharp and Fourth streets, and marched to the hall in a body, preceded by a full brass band. The local union men wore white badges and the delegates wore blue ones. The day was scorching hot, and the marchers perspired freely. The morning session was entirely taken up by the work of the Credential Committee, whose dnty it is to collect credentials and to determine, whether they are legal and whether thefa are any seats in dispute. At 12 o'clock they had not reported, when an adjourn ment was taken until 1:30 P.M. i "WELCOMING BAIriMOBE'S guests. Governor Jackson and Mayor Bobert Cr Davidson were billed to welcome the dele gates and make addresses, but at the le t moment word was received that the Goi. ernor could not be present on ac count of the pressure of business. Mayor Davidson was then selected to make the principal address. He wel corned the representatives in a short, out well pointed speech, and paid high compli ment to organized labor in general and the" glassworkers and their craft in particular. His remarks were pleasantly received and he was loudly applauded. Mr. Barren and Mr. Cooney, officers of the local federation council here also made a few remarks. Messrs. William J. Smith, "William J. Dillon snd John A. Hinckley, president, secretary and vice president re spectively, "replied and made quite lengthy speeches, which were well received. EMANCIPATING THE WORKEE. Mr. Smith called attentiou to the fact that a grave problem ot industrial freedom was awaiting solution, but the American people1 would be found able to work out its solu tion. He- said it was not long since' the question of freedom for the black man was solved, but the accomplish ment of better condition for the worker1 would be worked out by a revolution of peace, through the medium of organized , labor 'and recognized encouragement, and I aided bv a healthv oublio sentiment. K-t " Mr. Dillon snoke of thu tirvi.)-,",ment C organised labor and its change ol systems in conducting business, wage disputes and other grievances, of the recognition given to it to-day, where m former times it was treated with scorn. All tbis respect, he said, bad been brought about by the wisdom displayed in all delib erations pertaining to questions between employer and employe. THE MEETINGS "WBEE OPEN. "While the speech making was going on quite a number of ladies and prominent vis itors were in attendance. The hall con tained the usual decorations, and a band paraded around the hall during the inter vals between the speeches, playing national airs. After the opening ceremonies were com. pleted the Credential Committee reported and the different scale committees were ap pointed. The report of the Credential Com mittee was highly satisfactory to the officers and members. For the first time in many years not a sincle seat was contested, nor the slightest protest uttered against the admission ot any representative. The members point to this circumstance as a sure evidence that the union is in a healthy financial condition and throughly disciplined. As yet the convention has not gotten down to real solid work, but there are many important questions on the programme. During the afternoon session a number of grievances were referred to the Grievance Committee. "WIDENING ITS SPHEBE. The report of, the national officers will be more voluminous than ever, and it is under stood that recommendations will be made, tbe effect of which will be more far-reaching than heretofore. "What the exact natnre of these recommendations will be is hard toforetell, as the report will not be officially in the hands of the convention until to-morrow, when it is expected that the whole forenoon session will be taken up in their reading. A large amendment sheet is on the pro gramme, but that has not yet been presented to the convention, so that it is impossible to learn just what it contains. From the gossip of the delegates the con clusions can he gleaned that if tbe sugges tions coumiueu merein oe aaoptea, tbe com plexion of the constitutions will be much changed. Several amendments submitted by various local unions have the same ob ject in view, to establish another officer's position, that of an assistant secretary. It is proposed to pay him from ?900 to ?1,000 a year. THE OEOWTH OF THE OKDEE. This change is suggested because the work of the national office had been retarded by lack of facilities and inadequate clerical force. Tbe business has become so enormous of late that the President and Secretary find it a physical impossibility to keep up with the work. Tbere are many candidates in the field, about half a dozen from Pittsburg alone. The death burial fund, which provides ior tne payment ot $i,uuu to tbe heirs ot a deceased member, is the subject of much discussion. More than one amendment is proposed in re'erence to it. At pres ent to join it is optional with every member, while some will try to have a connection with it made compulsory upon tbe members. It bas only been in ex istence one year, and has been shown to contain many defects. The attempt to make it compulsory will meet with a lively opposition from the ex ponents of the principle of personal liberty, who are in the ranks, and who hold that the union exceeds its proper function when it attempts to take members in matters of a purely social nature. It is claimed that much of the work of the national office has been taken up in handling this fund, and so some are in favor of abolishing it altogether. OPPOSING THE NEW OFFICE. The proposition to elect an Assistant Sec retary is opposed bysomeon the ground that the deatbjburial fund Unresponsible for the burden of the work now upon the shoul ders of the officers.

A conference between tbe employers and employes will be held here on the 18th to talk over the matter of ix.,?, foT the bottI branch. It is more tban likely that some effort will be made to remove the advantaee certain non-union bouses have over union concerns. fn effort was made in this direction last year with fair sueces. -ibis year the plan will be carried further, and the workers claim that things will be so arranged that the union plants will be able to bear them in securing the market OLD OFPICEBS WILL BE BE-ELECTED. It is said that for several weeks before the convention met rumors were flooded about- to the effect that the present officers were to meet with strong opposition. So far there seems to be no tangible evidence of such a sentiment and conversation with the delegates would indicate that the present incumbents "Wm. J. Smith and "Wm. J. Villon, will be almost unanimously re elected. The present annual meeting is one of the largest ever held in the history of the organ ization. Exactly 212 delegates answered to the roll call. Its make-up is young, but some of the oldest veterans of the trade are delegates. Secretary Dillon's report is expected to .show a financial standing of 5150,000 on hand, with little or no debt. An effort is beine made to introduce the tariff ouestiorr ,into tbe convention and to send a committee to Washington some day this week to look up the class interests in the proposed tariff legislation.

After tbe election of officers at the meet ing of the Grand Lodge in the morning it is expected that the New York trouble will at once come before the official meeting of the lodge delegates.

Patrick McBride, National, Organizer, of the United Mine "Workers" Association, has returned from a trip through the coal regions of Alabama, taken. fa the, interest -of his organization. He says that tbtf threatened strike among tne Alabama coal miners has been averted, largely through his advice, but that, if the operators do not accede to the miners' de mands) the latter will go out later in the year,t(hen there will bo a greater demand for coal, and9 tbe operators can little afford to stop business for any length of time. Mr. McBfgle, says tbat tbe Alabama miners have-been working as if owned body and soul by-tbo operators, being bound by iron clad contract! to the most odious require ments. hey are required to purchase all supplieslrom company stores, where prices are exorbitant. Convict labor is brought into competition with that of free miners, 1,300 AlabtrmnT' convicts being worked in the mines,. -The" effect of tbis competition is dis astrous' to free labor and its wages. The.pruoners engaged in the mines are subjected .to rules as rigid as those govern ing Siberian convict camps. Each camp is surrouudedTwith a stockade, bristling with guard' houses,-and if a prisoner passes the dead line be is shot down like a dog. Of course the moral influence of this is felt throughout the mining industry. CONFESSED HIS CEIME. fv Ex-State Treasurer Archer Pleads Gnllty, Bess for Mercy and Is Sentenced. Baltisioee, July 7.

Pabis, Jnly 7,--An astonishing miracle is reported to-day from the Island of Oleron, nearLaBochelle. A young man is said to nave become suddenly endowed witb a miraculous power to cure all sorts v' "v -cal infirmities. He does notuseincan.. hypnotism nor drugs, bnt simply pla- feet against those of the patient and makes movements with his hands over the" parts afflicted, thereby effecting a complete- cure. His popnlarity is increasing by the fact that he makes no charge tor his services, but simply savs, after the gestures are com pleted: "Go in peace; you are cured." Sometimes one visit is not enough, but three never fail to expel the disease. The halt and blind hasten to him in crowds, in the hope to get rid of their infirmities. Some 'say the man is a sorcerer, others that he is inspired. He exercises his power at certain hours only, and nothing will tempt him to break this rule. RIOTING IN LONDON. .

It is reported that the constables evinced much repugnance to going on daty, but yielded to the pressure of their officers. At 1 o'clock the streets are quiet and the military have been withdrawn. BOTH DUELISTS FELL DEAD. An Extraordinary Fight Which Is Fatal to Botb the Principals. rBT PtWLAP'S CASLB COMPAXT. Pabis, July 7. A queer duel took place close to Paris to-day, between two acrobats belonging to a traveling circus. The men quarreled and resolved to fight a dnel in the ring after the performance. The conditions were two shots each, at 25 paces. The weapons, pistols. Neither combatant was wounded, and the incident was apparently at an end. But the duelists and their seconds had overlooked the presence of a couple of trained monkeys, who sat munching nuts during the affair of honor. These animals had been taught to ride around the ring dressed as soldiers and firing pistols as they rode. They saw the duel, and when the ring was clear, imitated the proceedings. Gravely loading the weapons, they took their places at a distance of five paces only. Both fell dead, the wadding or their old fashioned pistols actine as bullets and li. ing part of the head off one of the contest ants and wounding the other frightfully in the breast GOING TO CALL ON BISMARCK.
