Another Day of Idle Talk on the
Tariff Bill.
COMPROMISE PREVENTED !
The Senators Refuse to Allow Coal
be Placed Upon the Free List.
to
Sugar Schedule Revived.
Washington. Aug. 10. Tho Democratic
tariff conference had expected to be able
to announce an agreement yesterday. In-
Itead of reaching any definite conclusion
the day closed with the bill in quite nt
Uncertain actato as ever before in Us His
tory, with the situation in no wise im
proved, with the feeling between thi
friends of the senate bill and the housi
bill intensified instead of allayed, and
with no one prepared to say what tho out
come would be or when the end would be
reached. It was apparent at the very be
ginning of the conference) that those who
had come to tho conclusion at the ad
journment of Wednesday's session that
an agreement would be arrived at yester
day bad not taken sufliclently into ac
count the possibility of a misunderstand
iug or a change of mind.
This discovery was made when the sen
ate conferrees prepared to go on with the
bill upon the basis of a duty of forty cents
jper ton on coal and free iron ore, where
upon the house conferrees announced
their unwillingness to accept this arrange
ment, and stated that they would Insist
upon a reverbal of these terms, with coal
free and Iron ore dutiable, if either was to
be, as they understood that they were to
have a choice between tho two. The
avowal of this position produced immedi
ate confusion, and led to an exchange ol
remarks which were not altogether polite,
The senate conferreos thereupon decided
to report the state of aualrs to the con-
servnttve snnntors. Rnil when the confer
rees adjourned called Senators Gorman
Brlce, Smith and Murphy into consulta
tion. The whole situation was outlined
to them. They were not only made nc
rinalnted with the demand of tho house
cuuiurrees lur ireu cum, uui were uisu
given to understand that other material
concessions would be expected bv the
"house conferrees along tho entire lino ot
the bill, Including woolens, cottons, met
als, glass and earthenware.
They decided upon an emphatic nega
tlve in reply to the proposition, saying
that 11 the body of the bill was not pre
served virtually as It passed the senate
the report of tho conference .when made
would not bo accepted by the senate. Sen
ator Ilrice proposed an innovation In th
shape of a proposition that the liuuso con
ferreoi be given an opportunity to secure
free sugar. The senate conferrees adopted
the suggestion of Mr. lirice and presented
the proposition to the afternoon session of
the joint conference It is understooi
that the proposition created some sur-
prise on tho part of the house members.
who at first evinced a disposition to ac
cept, but after considerable discussion ot
the merits of this feature of the propos
tlon and of the other features, involving
the acceptance of the other senate amend
ments, declined to vouchsafe an answer
without further consideration. The ques
tion was therefore undisposed of when
the conference adjourned for the day.
The Republican seuators were also in
consultation with the senatorial tariff
conferrees during tho day, and it Is un
derstood have given notice that If there is
'material change in the more important
schedules relating to manufactured ar
ticles they will resist the immediate dis
position ot the committee's report when
made, and have stated that in that event
more tariff oratory may be expected.
The house conferrees have their side of
the situation to tell. Chairman Wilson
authorized the statement at the close of
the conference that the reports current
through the dny to the effect that Presi
dent Cleveland had Interfered with the
Informal agreement reached Wednesday
night were wholly unwarranted and un
true. Mr. Wilson said that the executive
was carefully refraining from exerting
any influence on tho conferrees, and was
leaving the members to shape their courses
as they saw fit. The chairman called on
the preildeut occasionally, he said, but it
was not very often, and at these times Mr.
Cleveland showed a delicacy In saying or
doing anything which could be construed
as an exertion of executive or administra
tion influence on the work of the workers.
As to the misunderstandings through
out the day, the house men understood
when the conference adjourned Wednes
day night that the senators had conceded
that either iron ore or coal was to go on
the free list, the other remaining on the
dutiable Hat. While the house men had
given no definite announcement of their
choice between the two items, it was gen
erally understood that they would prefer
to have iron ore on the free list. When,
however, the) entered the conference yes
terday they had concluded among them
selves that it would be preferable to have
coal on the free list, leaving iron ore du
tiable at forty cents a ton. This conclu
sion was definitely announced to the sen
ators, but the house men were surprised
to find that the willingness to concede
them the choice was somewhat abated.
What had caused the change was not
made clear, but in discussing It the house
conferrees said with no little feeling that
it was clearly due to the Influence of those
Interested in the sugar schedule, nud was
apparently another effort to involve the
informal agreement on sugar reached last
week.
Whether tho difficulty will be solved
today or will be declared off entirely is
not clear to the house conferrees. Iu the
event of an understanding on coal and
iron toduy the hoiine c-onferreen expressed
the hope that (lie Republican cou Ferrers
might be called in i his evening or tomor
row, all hough t lie itilteii m-ek dvvtluuvil
yesterduy ou coal aud irou. as well as on
iomf other scnetimts, mase tms chances
of a full conference less hopeful today
than they were Wednesday night.

refused to withdraw their picket line at

avoiding a collision, paid little attention
to the deputies. Whilo the situation is
quite strained, it appears on the surface

number of men did not show up for work
yesterday, and the force at many house?
was lighter than on any day since the
strike began.
The packers complain that they cannot
get a warrant served on any man attei
complaints have been made. Last night
ns a workman was passing from the pack
ing house several ot tho strikers took af
ter him shouting "scab" and other vile
names. First one striker would hit the
man and then another. He was knocked
down and kicked. He managed to defend
himself so ns to get away. After he was
beaten and chased for two blocks the po
lice finally got between the mob and the
man and stopped the nssault. Captain
Connell held a revolver in each hand and
swore he would shoot the first man who
continued the light. The police escorted
the man home. Later lie said that he
would continue at work, and that it meant
death to the man who assaulted him while
he was miudlug his own business.

THE MINERS'
CANDIDATE.
Hon.
Ellas Davis Candidate
Sheriff of Schuylkill.
For
IS BRIGHT PUBLIC LIFE !
The Father of the Two-Week Pay Rill
Has the United Support of the
Miners and Laborers.
Hon. Ellas Davis1, of New Castle town
ship, candidate for the Republican nom
ination for Sheriff, Is so well known to
the voters of Schuylkill couuty, thnt It
seems superfluous at this time to relato
either his personal or political history.
During tho past eight years ho has been
almost constantly iu public life, tho In
tervals between the terms of his public
servlco being devoted to commercial pur
suits, which have brought him In contact
with the whole people of the county and
enabled him to cultivate acquaintance
more extended, perhaps, than any other
cnndldate on cither ticket enjoj 9.
Mr. Davis was born lu Wudesvllle,
Schuylkill couuty, in November, 1855, and
is therefore 30 years ol I. He begun work
at the breaker as a i latepicker in ibtu,
when he was but eight years old, and con
tinued to work in and around the mines
until he was elected to tho Legislature in
lbM. in ins uoynoou lie attended scnooi
in the winter months and acquirod a very
lair common school education, anil wnen
ho crew to manhood his knowledge, muni
tion and energy made him n leader among
the worklngmen of his uistnct. lie ua
been protnluently identified with every
movement inaugurated for the ameliora
tion of the condition of labor, and has
always been regarded ns n safe, wise and
conservative counsellor on matters ot mis
kind.
Mr. Davis entered nolitics in 1SS0 as the
representative of the rtorkingmen of this
district anu was supported by tneni re
trnrdless of nnrtv. He received the He-
publican nomination for Assemblyman
and was elected by a nandpome majority.
lie was re-elccled 111 1S unu W.n), ami
served with credit to himself and decided
advantage to his constituents and the
workingmen of tho mining districts of
tiie state.
Mr. Davis Is ono of the very few men
who nave been elected to me Legislature
as a rcpreseutntu o workingmau, and wilt.
nave accompiisneu any tiling or advantage
to their constituents. His knowledge ol
mines and minim: t-ecured him a position
on tho Mines and Mining Committee ol
the House during his first term of service
and while in that position lie did tome
good work iu the interest of the people
he represented.
Mr. Davis Is entitled to tho full credit
of having framed, Introduced and passed
the semi-monthly pay bill, under, which
the miners ol tho anthracite' coal region
now receive their winzes everv two weeks
ine crcuit, oi mat achievement lie does
not share with nnvhodv. It was his own
creation, nud it was his own individual
effort that secured its nassage. He also
secured the passage of . tral other acts
of less Importance but ull advantageous
to tue worklngmen of tne state, which
want of snace here forbids us to enumer
ate. Mr. Davis is a renresentative tit the
worklngmen of tho county in the fullest
and most comprehensive sense of that
term. He has rendered faithful and viilu
able services In their behalf and is fully
entitled to their support now regardless
ot pontics. Wo look for his nomination
on Monday next on the first ballot, and
his election lu November by a sweeping
majority.

There was a wrangle in the outset. Mr.
Straughu declaring that he understood
that the meeting had been called for
general business aud Messrs. Gable and
Gafllgan maintaining that It had been
called solely to consider the public water
works, rue discussion was dropped
when the chair called for business relat

when the secretary commenced reading

willing to meet Council half way on the
repairs to tne Davis' nun reservoir.
A discussion arose as to just what Mr,
uuinn's contract was, during wbioh M
Ouinn answered Mr. Larub by saying
never contracted to construct the water
works for n lnmp bid of $93,000, but put
In bids for so many cubic yards ot excava
tion, masonry, etc., aud Council doubled
and trebled the amount of work origin
ally figured upon. 23a?J
In this connection It was also stated
that the original estimate ot tho cost for
making the roscrvoir at Davis' Run was
between two and three thousand dollars,
but It really cost over $18,000.
In answer to a question aa to whether ho
would pnt In a pipe nt. the original con
tract price and guarantee It will Btnud
(S00 pounds to the square inch, Mr. Qulmi
answered positively, "No, sir."
Finally Mr. Schalck, ono of tho counsel
for the borough, took a seat at the secre
tary's desk and wrote the following reso
lution which was subsequently adopted
by Council:
"Mr. Qulnn, the contractor, being pres
ent anil having offered to relinquish the
furnishing and lnylug ot the 8,OoT) feet of
pipe between tho storage reservoir and tho
top of Locust mountain, and to have the
contract altered accor.ilngly," tt was, after
considerable discussion, on motion of
Qafllgan, seconded by Finney,
"Resolved, Thnt the contract between
the Borough ot Shenandoah and Messrs.
Qulnti and Kerns be nltered so as to omit
therefrom the furnishing and laylug of
ald 8,000 feet of pipe aud the compensa
tion provided therefore in the contract,
and with like force and effect ill nil re
spects as if the said 8,000 feet of pipe lu.d
never been contracted, provided that the
rest of the contract and the remaining
provisions thereof shall remain intact in
all other respects the same as if this
resolution had not been passed and that
t his resolution and the agreement of the
contractors thereto sh.ill not in anywise
allect or prejudice the legal rights and
liabilities of the contractors and the
borough in nny other respect."
After tiie adoption ot tno resolution
Mr. Onlnn ncaln snoke. saving. "In con
sideration ot the Council living up to its

any other nurnoso until the nlDe is nroved
satisfactory. The idea Is that Council is
not to ueothe io.ooom tho meantime as
it may see fit."
On motion of Mr. Gable, Council decided
that Mr. Qulnn shall be notified within
one week to start to repair the Davis' Run
nam at uis own expense nnu If he falls to
do it the borough will proceed to make
repairs at his expense.
Mr wuiun said tnat after being olliclally
notified of this action he will consult his
counsel, and will then notify the Council
whether or not he will repair the dam no
his own expenst!.
Council claims the borouch never ac
cepted the dam before the damage nc-
rued mid Mr. Qulnn claims it did ; but,
io was willing, in order to avoid thn
rouble of a law suit, to meet Council
half wny ou the cost of making the ro

Mr. Gallagher urose and stated that Iu

antagonized tho estimated appropriations
fixed by the finance committee and
ndjpted by Council at the time. Tho
committee estimated the receipts on
eight mills, while Council fixed the rato
at six mills. He thought the matter
should bo reconsidered. ,
A motion to adiourn was lost and on
subsequent motion the water committee
was empowered to arrange tno prelimi
