( DAVID B. DOUTHBTT, Assembly f MOOBB. Jury Commissioner —HINBY W. NICHO LAS. Washington Notes. On Thursday of last week. Senator Vilas enlogizad President Cleveland in the Sen ate Chamber, said he was a man of truth and honor, that his letter to Wilson simply stated his principles and was no encroach ment on the prerogatives of Congress. Hill's free coal and iron amendments received but six votes. On Friday the tariff bill again narrowly missed defeat in the Senate. President Pro. Tem. Ham* sustained Senator Gray's point of order against Washburn's mo tion on the Sugar Schedule; Washburn appealed, and the vote stood 32 to 32. Steward would not vote. Speaker Crisp and Mr. MoMullan of the House had a conference with the President during the day. On Saturday the House conferees refus ed to yield to those of the Senate. The Senate conferees ®inld not recede on the Sugar Schedule as that wonld defeat the bill in the Senate, and the prospeots were for a deadlock and the defeat of the bill. On Monday the tension between the Sen ate and House oonferees was as marked as ever. The Democratic members of the conference found themselves in a com plete deadlock when they met during the forenoon and the full conference, called tor 1 o'clock found itself without business belore it when it convened. The full conference did not continue to ex ceed fifteen minutes, and the proceedings consisted in a statement by the Demo crats to the Republicans that the Demo cratic conferees had been nnable to reach an understanding, and a suggestion on the part of Chairman Wilson of the house conferres that the conference adjourn sub ject to the call of the chairman, which suggestion was acquiesced in by the Re publicans. The impression which ex-Sqeaker Reed obtained of the situation was embodied in a rough diagram which he drew while the conference was in session, which rep resented the Senate as a locomotive rush ing down a steep grade under fill steam. Stretching across the track and directly in front of the engine is an immense, well supported bumper which is labeled "House," the Republican house confer rees being represented as safely lodged in tall trees. "That is the situation," he said. "We all know what must happen when an irresistible force strikes ac im movable object." This was the situation as obtained from any source. Tuesday evening the prospects of an agreement on the tariff were much improv ed. For the first time in many days the House Democratic conferees came from the meeting with the statement that pre vious irreconcilable differences were in process of amicable adjustment. With much satisfaction the House members stated to their associates that the Senators had shown a disposition for the first time to meet the House half way. As to whe® a full agreement would be perfected there were some differences of opinion. One House conferne said it would probably be this week. Another thought it would be "soon." Chairman Wilson would not even admit that the understanding had gone far enough to warrent the pre diction of a speedy resort. He said, bow exer, that the conferees had at least done business and made progress, which was more than could have been said of past meetings. The Senate coaferees oame from the meeting without showing the hopefulness, of the House members. They said the conference was as far fron an agreement as it had been. While there was this conflict, among those thoroughly informed of the inside workings of the conference the general belief prevailed that the hope fulness of the House conferees bad some substantial foundation. On Wednesday the conferrees met again and found compromise to be impossible. The President is exerting all his influence to compel the Senate to surrender, but the Sugar Trust men are too strong for him. DUE of the failings of human nature is the desire to get something for nothing. Mathematics prove that this cannot be t tbo women and children could crowd into them A vast multitude had to remain without ihelter and food, but tents were brought in from neighboring towns and improvised huts are being utilized. Buttercup. Etta Hemphill, danghter of Mrs. Jennie Hemphill of near Buttercup who has been quite nick lately, is recovering Henry Hoffman and wile of Butler is visiting at his brother John's. Mr*.

An imperial edict has been issued, call ing oat the army and navy reserves, and ordering them to report forthwith at their respective headquarters. The Chinese residents of Japan are greatly alarmed at the threatening out look and are fleeing from the country in large numbers. At Tokio the conviction .is growing in official circles that the Chinese negotia tions are simply a pretext to gain time in order to allow China to concentrate her forces for the purpose of making a combined attack on the Japauese. Reliable information has been received at Tokio that the main body of the Chi nese army crossed the northwestern fron tier of Corea on July 25. Further details of the firing upon the Chinese troop ship Kow Shsng by the Jap anese fleet ou Wednesday last are that the transport tried to get away as soon as the Japanese warships began tfceir at tack, and made only a weak running fight. The Japanese guns swept her decks and carried erf the Chinese soldiers by -the soore. The latest estimate of the number aboard her was 1,700. Only 40 survived the foundering ship. They say that all her officers were killed before she went down. On Thursday there was a battle off Round Island between the Chinese and Japanese fleets, in which the former was defeated and one of their gunboats, the Tsao-Khan, was captured. She was a vessel of an obsolete model. Although completely outmatched by the Japanese cruisers she offered some resistance, and lost fully 100 men, killed and wounded, before she yielded. She was entirely disabled when the Japanese boarded her. The following is the Chinese official of ficial version of the engagement which re cently took place between the Chinese and Japanese fleets: The collision between the Chinese and Japanese ships occurred in the Prince Jerome gulf, in the inlet on which Asan is situated. The Japanese at tacked the Chinese vessels which were escorting the second and smaller division of troops despatched from Taku to rein force the Chinese army at Asan. The Japanese opened Are, the Chinese having stnet orders not to fire unless they were attacked, or if the landing of Chinese troops were opposed. The result of the action was that one Japanese ironclad was disabled by the Chinese battleship Chen Yuen. The Kow Shung, which was sunk by the Jap anese, was a chartered transport flying the British flag. , Xo news has been received of the loss ol the Chinese warship Tsao-Kiang, said to have been captured by the Japanese. The Chinese and Japanese ministers remain at their posts. Another battle was fought between the Japanese and Chinese fleets Monday and again the Japanese were victors. The engagement resulted in the Jauan ese kinking the Chinese battle ship Chen- Yuen, and two large crnisars, supposed to be the vessels built for China by the Arm strongs, were captured or destroyed by the Japanese. The Chen-Yuen was a battle ship of 7,400 tons displacement, carrying 14| iiche i compound armour at the water line. Her battery included four 12 inch guns, protected by an armoured breastwork and two smaller Krnpps. She was also furrish ed with eleven Hotchkiss canuon and tubes for Whitehead torpedoes. In Ad dition tho Chen-Yuen had two Bfinoh and 6-inch Krnbbs in her main battery and a secondary battery of Hotchkiss revolving cannon. The Cben-Yuen was built for China at the Stettin works. She was a sister ship of the Ting-Yuen, and was the most powerful war ship in the Chinese navy with the exception of the Ting-Yuen. The Chen-Yuen only escaped capture in the engagement last Tuesday by retreatiug to Kotze. The Chiuese fleet engaged carried nearly a thousand men and a large number of them are reported to have been killed or drowned, the latest dispatches saying that few if any of the Chinese eugaged in the battle escaped. Two German officers, in command of the Chen Yuen, are reported to have met death with the crew of th at vessel. The' Japanese government has instruct ed its minister in London to apologize to Great Britain for firing upon and sinking tho transport Kow Shueg while she was flying the British flae. The Japanese minister has been instructed to inform Great Britain that the commander of the Japanese cruiser did not know that the Kow Shung was a British vessel until alter the fight. Capt. Galesworthy of the Kow Shung and many other persons who were on board the transport were rescued by the boats of the Japanese warship Xaniwa. The Japanese government has informed the representatives of the foreign powers at Tokio that a state of war exists be tween Japan and China. This is re garded as equivalent to a declaration of war. The Japanese minister at London in formed the earl of Kimberly, the secretary of state for foreign affairs, that a state of war exists between Japan and China. E. F. Acheson, of Washington courty, was nominated for Congress by the Con ferees of the 24th district, in session in Pittsburg, last Monday. The nomination was made in the 250 th ballot. After the 249 th ballot Robert F. Hop wood, tho Fayette county candidate, withdrew from the contest. The Allegheny county dele gates voted solidly for John P. Klxrhart on the final ballot. When Fayette county was/eached on the roll call. Gen. Silas M. Baily voted for Achenon. His colleagues followed him as one man. TheD, before the Fayette list was concluded, Josiah Speer, of the Allegheny county delegation moved to make the nomination of Acheson unanimous, which was done. Mr. Ache son's nomination was received with loud and prolonged applause. Hamsville items. Samuel Kerr, D. D , has so far recovered from his protracted illness as to be able to preach again. He has gone to spend a few days with his brother-in-law, Mr. Bovard. The farmers are all busy in the harvest fields securing their crops. The hay crop is rather light iu this neighborhood, al though some meadows are very good. Tho oats though very short in the straw will come near being an average crop. R. K. Wick and Borne of the minor lights about town have threshed their wheat, which has yielded well, but alas, the long faces that are made about the price, We want to suggest a remedy As wheat is cheaper than corn we would ad vise all our friends to stop eating Johnny cake and go for S. B. Bingham's Bonnie Doon flour in the interests •(' health, wealth and wisdom. The School Directors in the Independent distriot have locked horns over hiring a certain sohool marin, and it now looks if the high officials of the county would have to lend a helping hand before it is settled. A very sad accident occurred near here last week. A son of Scott Brabam, of Oakwood rose gardens, near Oil City, camu down to spend a short lime with his grand father, Hugh Braham, Esq. He was a lad of about eight years old, and while in tho barn when they were unloading hay he caught tho rope and bis hand was drawn into the pulley and his fingers were some what lacerated. It was not considered serious but suddenly brought on lockjaw and before bis parents could gel to see nim he we.s dead.

NEIGHBORHOOD NOTES. The L. 11. Smith broom factory in Alle gheny 'was burned last ■Saturday after noon. A Pittsburg man stole his wife's false teeth and jewels, and their deserted her. The Lutherans of Western Penn. are picnicing at Idiewild to-day. A Tioga county man has two cats which follow him about like two dogs. One evening lsst week they were at his heels as he was going to the barnyard and a team ster was passing with his dog. The dog saw the cats and anticipated some fun; go did the teamster, and he set his cur on the cats. The canine made a dash at them, the lelines dodged, and as the dog passed one cat leaped upon his back andthe other fastened her teeth in the dog s hind leg. While the du«t was being cuffed out of his back the dog made for a hole in the fence and dashed off down the road witu both cats close at bis heels. The dog won the race, and after his trouble was over he trotted very demurely alongside the wagon. A tew days ago a j-oung man named Court Gardner was unloading hay on a farm near Troupsburg, X. Y, when the rope became untied from the hay-fork and as the fork dropped it struck Gardner in one of the arteries in the neck, killing him almost instantly. A sai accident occurred to a member of a party of Elks near Erie on Sunday. While out picnicing on a ledge overlook ing the lake, Michael J. Hepburn lost his balance and fell and was fatally injured. At Shenandoah Sunday 3 men were kill ed by the explosion of a boiler. Wm. Vasbinder and wife of Madison twp. Armstrong Co , met with a terrible accident the 15th inst', that nearly cost them their lives. Mr. Vasbinder, who resides on the Anderson farm near Kis singer's Mills, had opened up a coal bank on the plsce, and after running it in a short distance had struck a small flow of natural gas that worked in through a crev ice. Oa the afternoon of the above date he and his wife started ont for the cows and as they passed the bank decided to inspect it and find if the gas was still pre sent. Mr. Vasbinder went in a distance of four or five sets of timbers, while his wife remained near the entrance end lean ed against the pillars to await his return. He lit a match, when, in a moment, flames shot up all around, and following this quickly was a terriffie explosion that shook the earth for a considerable distance. Mr. Vasbinder was hurled to the outside, while the roof was blown out and the mine ruined The explosion worked upward, which iu all probability saved the lives of both. The distance from the flour to the top of the mine was thirty feet, but the explosion tore its way to the top and scattered stones and earth in all directions. Mr. and Mrs. Vasbinder were both badly burned and bruised. The former had the hair on his head almost completely burned off while scarcely any clothes remained on his body. Mrs. Vasbinder escaped with less injury as she was near the en trance. but was severely burned and bruis ed. The uoise of the explosion brought friends to the scene who helped the injur ed ones to their homes, and although they were in groat pain and severely injured, the physician found no bones broken. Both are recovering as rapidly as could be expected, and are congratulating them selves on the narrow escape they had from death. — Rcricic. W. W. Case was apooiuted assignee of W \\.
