CAUCUS AGAIN IN THE HOUSE The Members of Tariff Conference Committee Are Displeased. PROMPT ACTION ASKED ! In Direct Opposition to Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson Voorhees Urges Free Coal and Iron Ore. WASHINGTON, Ami. 7. Whet, the Dem ocratic tariff conference adjourned last rvenlng there (.eemed to he a better feel ing among the conferrees th mat the clone nf previous sessions. Members from both houses announced that thi committee had heon working over the schedule, and that progress was being made, but they did hot indicate when a report would be reached, though sonif, of tho conferreos expressed the opinion chat pn agreement was in sight. For a considerable portion of 'the day the senators were not in the conference ro9m,sbut it was stated that no significance was) to be attached to that fact, as they were till working toward an agreement. These Venators occasionally repaired to the committee room of Senator Vest, and sometime were in consultation with Democratic malingers in the rooniol the committee on appropriations. The coal and iron questions were con sidered yesterday, almost to the exclusion of every other tonic. and the discussion pro ceeded upon the basis of the duty provided on these articles by the senate amend ments, with tho limitation of the time that the duty shall continue to four years, The house conferrees held out stubbornly for the entire recession of tile senate from its amendments, and there appearing nc probability of reaching an understanding the senate conferrees withdrew to a sep- arate room, leaving the house members to themselves the greater part of the after noon. The day closed with a request on the part of the house conferrees that they be given further time to decide upon a line of action on coal and iron oro. The request was granted. It is not understood that the house members have agreed positively elthefr to accept or reject the senate proposition, but it is possible that they may submit a counter proposition, with tho hope that it will be acceptable to the senators. A member of the conference said today that with the coal and iron ore questions disposed of there would, ho thought, be little more time necessary to reach an agreement on the entire bill. He admit ted that there was a virtual understand ing on all the other schedules, including sugar, lie also said that the developments so far made indicated wide differences on coal and iron ore, and had not been of a character to indicate an agreement at all, btlll, ne was hopeful that a common agreement might be found on these two articles. Considerable surprise was expressed by the conftrrees when they learned that a call for a house caucus at 3 o'clock this afternoon had been issued, and it evi dently was very distasteful to the house members of tho conference, who had felt that they were beginning to see an agree ment. Mr. Montgomery said that the caucus would make no difference so fat as he was concerned and he would con tinue the work he was engaged in unless some action very different from that which he anticipated should bo taken by the caucus. He said that while the cau cus was in progress the conferrees would be at work Intense, feeling was developed atnonp all members as soon as the caucus move began. Members gathered in the lobbiea and talked excitedly for and against the step. Representatives Straus, Warner and others friendly to the administration, de nounced it as a "Are in the rear." Neither Speaker Crisp nor Chairman Wilson had been consulted as to the cau cus and it was recognized as directly in opposition to their wishes. Representa tive Outhwalto, as associate of Speaker Crisp on the committee on rules, said: "The caucus is not indorsed by the com mittee on rules or by the conferrees. It is evidently a move against the house conferrees. Members of the rules com mittee will probably enter the cauous, but I expect the conferrees will remain away in view of the fact that adverse action, by the caucus would be equivalent to a vote of 'wane of confidence.' " Representative Straus, a close friend of Mr. Wilson, expressed the opinion that the caucus would prove a boomerang. He believed Mr. Wilson and the other oon ferrees would attend the caucus and at tempt to carry It. With such men as Speaker Crisp, Chairman Wilson, Bourke Cockran and others urging loyulty to the house conferrees, Mr. Straus did not think an antagonistic resolution woulc pass. Mr. Straus said also that he expected the caucus would bring out some startling conference secrets which would insure the conferrees' support from the house, Messrs. Springer and Bynuin make no concealment of the fact that the caucus is for the purpose1 of ending the contest by ncceptlng the senate bill. In this connec tion they quote a statement made to them by Senator Mills to the effect that further house reslstence meant the killing ot all tariff legislation. Senator Voorhees, who has been con fined to his home by illness forsometlmo, was somewhat Improved last night, and talked freely to an Associated Press rep resentative regarding the tariff bill. He said among other things: "The sugar question being practioally out of the way, by concession, the senate ought, lu my judgment, concede free coal and free iron ore, and of course, It wouhr do so but for a membership In that body which can be counted on the fingers ot one lutud 1 have no disposition to redee on the motives of those who differ from me in opinion, iut thi- small minority oi the senate having Mih-lanlially carried their point "ii xugar, eau very easily ami honorably afford to make concessions on coal and iron," J DEMOCRATS CARRY ALABAMA Oates Elected Governor by n Majority o 18,000 to 20,000. BIRMINGHAM, Ala,, Aug. 7. Despite the fact that the campaign just closed hat been the bitterest ever known in tho statu, the election passed off quietly, and few disturbances are reported. The newSayri election law, a modified form of tho Aus tralian ballot system, was put in opera tion jfor the first time, nnd It worked smoothly. The ballot was a secret one.

In south anc middle Alabama the returns show Demo cratic gains which will give the state tc Oates by 18,000 or 20,000. In north Alabama tho Democrats have gained two counties that were for Koll two years ago, thereby securing threi more members ot tho legislature, whicl Senator Morgan's friends claim maki that body safely Democratic. The Kolb ites have gained 2,500 votes In Jefferso" county and have made gains in Severn counties, but these are offset by Demo critic gains in other counties In the sum Bection. In Senate ami House.

MANFRED PAYS THE PENALTY. Hung For the Murder of George Ochs at St. Clair. SCENES ABOUT THE JAIL ! The Doomed Man Met His Death Without Flinching: and Died Easily He Was Ready and Willing- to Die. Special to Evening Hkraid. PorrsviLLK, Aug. 7. In the presence of Sheriff Joseph Woll, Warden Dunkle- berger, Father McGoveru, physicians and the witnesses provided by lnw, in addi tion to about 1B0 people who had ac cepted tho passes sent out by tho Sheriff, Harry Mnnf red, tho Italian who murdered George Ochs at St. Clair, paid the death penalty by hanging in the Pottsvllle jail this morning. It has beon frequently asserted that Manfred would break down at tho last moment and would have to be assisted to tho scaffold. Tho public was deceived. Manfred was game when he walked to the scaffold and aside from a paleness that spread over his countenance as he stepped beneath the rope ho exhibited no emotion. Manfred filept well last night. As soon as he he arose this morning ho washed and prepnred himself for the last act in the judicial drama. He was perfectly self-possessed and in response to a sugges tion as to whether ho appreciated his situation he nnwered in the nfllrniative and added that ho was prepared to go into eternity nt any time. Father Mc3overnlnnd Sisters of Charity called nt Manfred) cell this morning and found him cool and contrite Manfred was at the little table in his cell which served as an nltar. After the service had been con cluded Mnnfred reiterated that ho was ready to go, nt the same time turning to Father McGovern nnd the Sitters of Char ity to thnnk them for the spiritual conso lntlon nnd many kindnesses they had afforded him. nAnnr manfred. Long before ten o'clock arrived a num ber of people had gathered about tho stone steps in front of the Jail. Those who were provided with passes were admitted to the Interior of the Jail, when they im mediately commenced to scan the Inside corridor, as seen through a door made of heavy pieces of iron half an Inch apart. The Jail yard was next visited. The scaf fold which had been stored nwny In the cellar of the jail for two years was once more in.rendiness tor its deadly work. The procession left the jail for the gnl lows at llil-S o'clock. Sheriff Woll and Wnrden Dunkleberger came first. They were followed by Manfred and his spiritual advisors, Fathers McGovern and Devers, 'and the sheriff's jury. The noise made by the tramping of so many feet on the brick pavement leading from the jail door to the scaffold was ominous, Tho proaession Indeed presented a solemn as pect. Father McGoveru chanted the lit any for the dying. He wns attired In the usual surplice and stole, the colors of which partly relieved the sombreness of the apparel worn by the jury. Manfred kept muttering his prayers nnd alternate ly opened And closed his eyes. He fol lowed the sheriff on the scaffold with considerable nerve. The spectators sur veyed him critically. He wore n black vest and pantaloons of the same material, utwhlte Shirt with turn-down collar and black bow tie. His face was smoothly shaven and his heavy black moustache curled at the ends. QE0BQB OCHS. Manfred looked subdued, yet firm. A supernatural stillness seemed to pervade the jail yard. He was not long upon the scaffold when the most ghastly part of the urogram commenced. Iliu arms warn pinioned behind his back. His legs were tied together by stout straps aud then u a learner nana was bound tightly arouud his chest. While this was being done Manfred looked ud at theskv mid moved his lips in prayer. Great pains were taken to fasten the rope prop-rly around his neck. The white cap, the very sigfit of ioi.. ""v n . ' .Jd'ler, was ihir.' over the head and shoulders. The! cap having been properlv adjusted, the trap was puiieu ami wnnireu went uown through the open space with the rapidity of lightning. For nbout n minute tho upper portion ot uio uouy coniracteu ana expnuued convulsively. - . The trap was sprung at 11:21 nnd seven teen minutes after tho body was cut down. It was taken In charge by Under taker Weber, under directions Iroui Father McGovern. Manfred said nothing while on the gallows, but Just before the cap was Eulled down he smiled and nodded good yo to Warden Dunkolberger. He was exceedingly cool and collected. Upon bidding his counsel, Charles A. Snyder and George Dyson, Ksqs., farewell yesterday afternoon, Mnnfreu handed them a written Instrument, which he stntcd was his last will. The Instrument was written In the Itallnn and English languages and by It Manfred devised all his property In tuts country and Italy to his couusel and his body he left in charge of the sexton of St. Patrick's church, Pottsvllle. Manlred left no property nnd his will in that retqieot was a matter of form, but the disposition of the body insured a Christian bnrlal. McElhenny's Bill of Fare.

Several Clubs Suffered Waterloos ontnc Diamond Yesterday. The games In the state league yesterday were very much of an off color and the Shenandonhs, Hazletons nnd Allentowns went down before overwhelming scores by tho opposing teams. Tho game at Pottsvllle was a ridiculous one. Shennndoah was overwhelmingly de feated by the Scualors, Yerkes' delivery being pie for the latter.
