SUSPENDED.
It is Caused by a Resolution by
Senator Hill.
THE BILL STILL IN DOUBT.
The Resolution Calls Upon the Senate
Conferrees to Report the Existing:
Difficulties to the Senate.
Washinoton, Aug. 11. Yesterday was
the first day in tho senate slnco the tariff
bill was sent a second time to conference
that there was any unusual interest in
the proceedings. Senator Hill, who has
been the central ngureln several dramatic
scenes during tho tariff debate, was again
in the van of the fray Ills resolution di
recting the tariff conferrees to report tho
difficulties and cause of the failure to
agree was a sensation. It was almost
adopted before the senators fully realized
its importance. The conferrees were
aware of It, and were willing It should be
adopted. By parliamentary tnctlcs a vote
tvas prevented on the resolution either as
presented by Senator Hill or in the form
Urged by Senator Aldrich.
bnough was developed, however, to
show the temper of the senate conferrees,
Senator Vest hoped that it would pass so
that "the calcium light might be turned
on," and he be given an opportunity to
"refute the infamous lies that have been
told about the conferrees on the part of
the senate." Senator Harris was willing
that the conference should have an airing,
but wauted It done in a strictly parlln
mentary way Senators Vilas, Gray,
Pasco and others desired that action be
postponed.
The conservative senators were anxious
that the conferrees should tell all, and
upon this point they for a time followed
the lead of Mr. Hill. By skillful manage
ment those who did not want a rupture at
once prevented the impending conllict.
The resolution Anally went over, and the
Republican managers, who were assisting
to make trouble, saw that the Democrats
were uniting to prevent the storm and
would not risk another vote in order to
keep the resolution before the senate.
The remainder of tho session was de
voted to the consideration of the Chinese
treaty. The senate adjourned at 4:30 un-
til today, although the peacemakers en
deavored to have no session until Monday.
When the tariff conference closed last
night it was with the understanding that
the meetings would be postponed for the
present. No time was set for reassem
bling the conferrees, and It was felt that
no furthor sessions might be necessary in
case the senate acted favorably today on
Senator Hill's resolution, directing the
senate conferrees to report the condition
of affairs. What was of most importance
was the feeling expressed by the house
conferrees at the close of the conference
that in case the Hill resolution passed
and they believed it would the conference
would practically be relieved of its work,
and it would remain only for the house to
accept the senate bill as a lesser evil, as
they believe, than the Mclvlnley law.
These conclusions were reached after a
day of intense excitement among the tariff
leaders. Tho day opened with the senate
proposition for free sugar still pending
before the conference. Chairman Wilson
and his house associates were satisfied
that the tender of free sugar was not
made in good faith, and they had there
fore requested the senate conferrees to
furnish a poll qf the senate showing that
it the proposition were accepted it would
be adopted by the senate and the bill
passed. The poll was considered as soon
as the conferrees convened. It disclosed
that in the event of tho acceptance of the
free sugar amendment the bill as a whole
would be voted against by thirty-eight
Republicans aud by Senators Kyle, Allen
and Peffer, Populists, aud Caffery and
Blanchard, Democrats, a total of forty
three votes, or sufficient to defeat the bill.
This poll was made on the best judg
ment of the senate eonferrees. The house
men accepted it as showing conclusively
that the tender of the free sugar amend
ment, while made in good faith by the
senate conferrees, was a means adopted by
the conservative senators for the purpose
of defeating the tariff legislation and
leaving the McKinley law in force.
The discussion brought out for the first
time the statement that the defensive al
liance between certain senators had pro
ceeded further than mutual co-operation
and understanding, and was now reduced
to a signed agreement. While members
of the conference did not claim to hnve
aeen the agreement, they stated as a fact
that Senators Kyle, Allen, Pelfer.Blauch
nrd aud Caffery had reduced their under
standing to black and white, and had
signed it, to the effect that they would
vote against any bill which did not con
tain a bonnty clause for sugar. As free
sugar would eliminate the bounty pro
vision, the signed agreement was re
carded as showing that the Ave senators,
combined with the Republicans would de
feat the bill.
It was while animated comments were
being made on the foregoing conditions
that word reached the conference of bena
tor Hill's coup d'etat in the senate. The
conference hastily adjourned, the senators
going on the floor to take part In the de
bate. Mr. Wilson was not disposed to at
tach much weight to Senator Hill's move
at the outset, and said that it would be
futile, as tho senate could not aot while
the bill was in conference. This feeling
was shared to a large extent early in the
day by house leaders, who characterized
It as one of the "bluffs" which had been
made of late to demoralize the house con
ferrees aud force them to yield Later in
the day. however, this feeling gave way
to one of profound concern over the situa
tion aud the fiit me of the lull.
At 2 o'clock the r :iferein-e, or a rent
nant, again .i-.-eio'we.l w.iu.n, 11.11 re-o
lution uuu tho ixuuug Ueoaiu iheieon as
too main topic among' tnem. All ot tne
house men were present, but Senator
Jones was the only senate conferree In at
tendance for any length of time Little
or no attempt was made te take up items
or schedules, and no progress was made
up to fi o'clock, when the conference sepa
rated without fixing a time for reassem
bling.
The house conferrees no longer dis
guised the deep concern they felt over the
future of the bill. They had made a
rough estimate of the vote on the Hill
resolution and they felt it would pass.
Under these circumstances, they said,
nothing could be done until the resolu
tion was disposed of. If through some
Hopeful turn it was defeated, they said, it
would practically discontinue the con
ference. In that event the house men
tated' that they would be able to avert
the complete defeat ot all tariff legisla
tion by having the house agree to tho sen
tt bill.
SAVED FROM ALIVING TOMB.
Two Men Taken from the Collapsed Mine
at Soranton.
ScnANTON, Pa., Aug. 11. When tho
cavo In occurred at Hampton and Fellows
streets Thursday afternoon It was an
nounced that there were no men in the
mines of tho Delaware, Lackawanna and
Western company, the roof o which fell.
It was subsequently learned, however,
that John Morowsky and Frank Rlegel
sky had been entombed by the falling
roof. Four men were nt work In one of
the new chambers at the time the cave in
occurred, and all started for the foot of
the shaft together. The two unfortunato
men turned back to get their tools, and
before they could get back to their com
panions the gangway had become filled
with fallen rock.
A lnrgo gang of rescuers at once wont
into the mine and began to bore an en
trance through a thirty foot wall of solid
coal to the entombed men. At the same
time a drill was set up, and a hole was
begun from the surface to where the la
borers were confined. Last evening the
hole through the wall of coal was com
pleted to the chamber where the men
Were confined, and the laborers were
found and carried out in a fnmished con
dltion. They said that what was once a
flvo foot gangway is now scarcely two
feet high, and the men were forced to lie
down during their imprisonment.

DEAL ON THE
SCHOOL BOARD
The Republicans Succeed in Over
coming the Democratic Majority.
NEW TEACHERS ELECTED
Four of the Seven Vacancies Filled by
Selections Made by the Republican
Directors The Modus Operandi.
It did not take a close observer to
notice on approaching tho place of meet
ing ot the School Board last night that
there was something uuusual In the
wind. Groups of three and four Direc
tors were scattered along the pavement
conversing in undertones aud each group
sufficiently distant from each other so the
conversations could not be overheard.
There was cause for this caucussing,
especially among the Democrats, as one
of their number had decided to uo over to
the Republican side of the board and give
that side the privilege of tilling four of
the seven vacancies to be filled In the
corps of teachers. This was an exceed
Ingly important move, as the political
complexion of the board stood eight Dem
ocrats to soven Republicans, and had the
lormer stood togetner tuey could nave
filled the vacancies to their own liking.
But a deal was made and it went
through. Had the Republicans seen lit
to do s they could have made a much
better deal. About twenty minutes be
fore the board met a second Democratic
member sent word to tho Rcuublicans
that If they would glva him one teacher
he would vote wltb them and give them
six of the seven vacancies. The Repub
licans decided to leave well enough alone,
however, and stood by the original deal.
When I'resldent Uonry called the meet
ing to order in the Directors' room of the
West street school building the fifteen
Directors were moment, including Mr.
William T. Trezise. who was in attend
ance for the first time siuco ills extended

three mouths.
The committee on teachers and salaries
reported that there were twenty three
applicants for the seven vacancies in the
corps oi leacucrs.
lint one uanot was required to nu tne
vacancies. I'resldent Coury voting with
the Republicans and giving four of the
seven vacancies.
Tho result of the ballot was as follows
Julia Douohue, 15: Bridget Flynn, 15;
M Alice Lehe. 14 : Herbert C. Hooks, 14:

The llrst named seveu nppllcunts were
declared elected.
The board then took up the question of
making promotions in the corps of teach
ers. Three members or tne committee on
teachers nnd salaries had recommended
that the promotions be left m the hand.-, of
the Sunerintendent. The follow inc ex
tract from the rules wns read iu support
of the recommendation: "The Superin
tendent shtll be, ex officio, a mmber of
this committee, nnd shal' hnvpsole power
to place and transfer tt urs, to suspend
them and to make temporary appoint
ments in case of vacancies occurring from
sicknessor other circumstances ; but such
action shall be reported to tne Hoard for
its final decision at its next regular
meeting."
Messrs. Davenport and Morgan were
the dissenting members of the committee
and argued that the filling of vacancies
rested with the Board and It should be
done by a vote of the Board.
I'resldent uonry sold tiiat ne- had the
rule referred to incorporated in the
cenernl rules nnd knew what it meant.
It was enacted so as to authorise the
Superintendent to 1111 vacancies occurring
during a pchool month, but gave him no
power to nu vacancies at me Deginningoi
n term. Tnat power rests solely with tne
board.
Mr. Davennort nominated James R.
Lewis to fill the position of second as
sistant in the High school, made vacant
by the resignation ol M. i. Uonry, and
Mr. Devitt nominated Michael H. Britt.
Sunerintendent Whttnkor enid he
thought the rules covered promotions of
all kinds, but be was disposed to meet
the board half way by naming his pref
erences for promotions and then let the
board confirm or reject by vote. He
recommended the promotion of Mr. Britt,
as llrst choice, nnd MIbs l.izzlo M. U Uon
noil as second choice.
A vote was taken und Mr. Lewis was
Jiromoted to the High school by a vote of
i to C.
Nominations were then made to fill the
vacancy in the first grade grammar de
partment made vacant by the promotion
of Mr. Lewis and to fill the sohool in the
second grade grammar department of the
new addition to tne union street soliooi.
Josenh W. Burke. John B. Scheuhlngiind

On the first ballot the vote was Burke,

Mr. Burke was declared elected to fill
the school vacated by Mr. Lewis.
On the second ballot tho vote wns
Bcheuhlng, 8 ; Hess, 7 : and Mr. Scheuh

vacancy.
Richard A. McIIale was then elected by
acclamation to 1111 the vacancy In the
Coal street school caused by the promo
ttnn of Air. Burke.
James Mullahv and Herbert C. Hooks
were elected by acclamation to fill the
vacancies in the Turkey Hun schools
caused by tho promotions of Messrs,
Scheuhlncr and McIIale.
It was then suggested that the Super
intendent nil the balance ot tne vacan
cies, but Mr. Whltaker protoeted that bb
the board had taken promotions out of
his hands it should complete ltn work.
The board, however, on motion of Mr,
Davenport, deolded that the rest be left
to the superintendent.
The. committee on heating and fuel sub
mitted the following bids per ton to

the average bid of Mr. Hrenuau and that

awarded to Mr. Brennan.
Mr. A. J. Gallagher, agent for school
supplies, appeared before the Board and
complained that bo did not think he bad
received a fair deal in the bidding to sup
ply desks and blackboards. He said
7:30 p. m. was tho time fixed for bids to be
submitted, but O'Neill Bros'., recom
mended by the committee, nut their bid
In after eight o'clock. Mr. Gallagher
said that be put his bid in before 7:30 and
upon leaving the building be met one of
tho O'Neill Brothers and, supposing nil
tho bids were In, be gave Mr. O'Neill his
figures. Mr. O'Neill put his bid in Inter.
Mr. Gallagher admitted bo was given a
chanco to put in n second bid. The com
mittee stated to the Board that after Mr.
O'Neill's bid was received Mr. Gallagher
was given another chance and Mr. O'Neill
was the lowest bidder. The board gave
tho contract to the O'Neills.
The Board has decided to purchase tho
property at the northwest corner of Jar
din nnd Chorry streets ns n site for a new
school building. Tho price is $4,000.
William Langlleld, of Bloomsburg, tho
owner of the property, hns concluded to
