All tho coal mined from tho Elmwood mine

tunnol has been driven ntwro the basin a
distance of about 335 feel, from tbe South
dip to the North dip of tho Top Split of tho
Mammoth vein, through which tho coal
mined from all tho veins on tho Elmwood
side of the basin will bo hauled to tho bottom
of the Tunnol Itidgo new slope. This slope
is suiiK a aistanco or sio fe, and is timbered
with a fiftcen-fcet collar, twenty feet snroad
and eight feet high. Gunboats will bo used
into which tbo coal will b6 dumped at tho
bottom of tho slopo and will hold two cars of
coal. Tho weight of the gunboat and coal
will bo about twolvo tons. Tho coal will
then bo dumped into a separator or cleaner.
on top of tho slope, when tho rock will bo
soparated from the coal and tho latter con
Toyed to tbo breaker by nivalis of a scraper

A new pair of hoisting engines have been
built, diameter of tho cylinder being 40
Inches, length of stroke 00 inches, with
steam brake and other modern appliances.
From reliable authority this hoisting plant is
considered to bo one of the bust the P. & B.

plants throughout thoir oxtensivo coal mining
system. Tho moil will bo lowered aud

other outlets are available for tho men

BOYAL BAKIMQ roWOXB CO. ItXWTOKK
Washington, July 80. The conference
report on the tariff bill was adopted by
the house shortly after midnight by a
vote of 16 to 118, and at noon today
me report went to the senate for ac
tion there. This eclipses all previous
records. The result was accomplished
after 12 hours of continuous debate.
But two speeches were made by the
Republicans, one by Governor Dingley
in opening tlie debate, and one bv Mr.
Payne, of New York, In closing It. The
democrats were thus forced to put
forth speaker after speaker, but their
bombardment of the Republican posi
tion was unanswered.
In nil ten Democratic and one Pop
ulist speeches were made. The sugar
suneuuie was tne main point of as
sault, but the most Interesting feature
of the debate occurred when Mr. Bailey
ana Mr. Aicaimin, the two rival Demo
cratic leaders, crossed swords on the
question of orthodoxy of the free raw
material doctrine, the former otmosinir
anu me latter championing It.
'ine galleries were crowded up to the
time the vote was taken, manv dis
tinguished people being present. Among
them were a number of senators, sev
eral members of the cabinet and a few
members of the diplomatic corps.
Jivery Kepubllenn In the house who
was present voted for the report. The
Democrats, with five exceptions, voted
against the report. The exceptions were
Slayden of Texas, Droussard of Louisi
ana, Meyer of Louisiana. Davev of
Louisiana, Kleberg of Texas.
The Populists and silverltes did not
vote solidly. Mr. Shafroth of Colorado
and Newlands of Nevada, silverltes, ab
stained from voting. Mr. Hartman,
sllvorlte, of Montana, did not vote.
Tho Populists who voted against the
report were Baker, Barlow, Botkln,
Fowler, Jett, Lewis, Marshall, Martin,
Petlcrs, Simpson, Stroud and Vincent.
Four did not vote Howard, Kelly,
Stark and Southerland. The other Pop
ulists were absent.
An analysis of tho vote shows thnt
180 Republicans and G Democrats voted
for tho report, nnd 105 Democrats and
12 Populists against It.
The floor of the house presented an
animated appearance long before the
speaker rapped that body to order.
Members stood about In groups and
discussed, sometimes In excited tones,
the result of the conference agreement
on tho tariff bill, which was presented
for final action. The galleries were
comfortably well tilled, and every mem
ber in the city was In his seat when
Speaker Reed ascended the rostrum
The blind chaplain In his prayer In
voked a blessing on the day's work.
"May the history of this day," he
prayed, "be worthy of this great na
tion and redound to the good of all Its
citizens."
Before Mr. Dingley presented the con.
ference report Mr. Cannon presented
the final conference report on the gen
eral deficiency bill, which was agreed
to without dimculty.
Mr. Grosvenor got the floor und asked
unanimous consent to print a speech
on the civil service question. He said
he did not desire to delay the tariff
debate which was to follow. Mr. Terry,
of Arkansas, raised a laugh by request
ing Mr. arosvenor to elucidate In his
printed remarks the changes which the
president was to make in the civil ser
vice regulations Immediately after con
gress adjourned. The report was then
adopted.
This out of the wav, Mr. Dingley
arose. Holding aloft the report and a
great mass of papers he said, In calm
tones: "Mr. Speaker, I desire to pre
sent the conference report on the tariff
bill." Salvos of applause from the Re
publican side ereeted this announce
ment. The papers were carried to the
desk. The reading of the formal report
was dispensed with at the request of
Mr. Dingley and the statement of the
effect of the changes road.
Mr. Bailey, the leader of the minor
ity, disclaimed before the reading be
gan any responsibility for the state
ment which, he said, the minority has,
as yet, had no opportunity to read. At
the conclusion of the statement Mr.
Dingley took the tloor. Before he be
gan his speech lie expressed a wish to
enter Into an agreement with the mi
nority as to the length of time the de
bate should run. Mr. Bailey said the
minority would like three days, but
would be willing to agree to a vote be
fore adjournment today. Mr. Dingley
said he was not prepared to agree to
Mr. Bailey's proposition. "When he ex
pressed the hope that a vote cru'd bi
reached before adjournment the Re
publicans broke Into long and loud ap
plause. "Talk at this time is very ex
pensive," said Mr. Dingley. "It costs
the treasury $100,000 a day."
"Not so expensive as the ten days
you spent In arranging the sugar sched
ule with the sugar trust," retorted Mr.
Bailey, amid the counter round of ap
plause by his followers.
Mr. Dingley In reply pointed out that
never before In legislative history had
a tariff bill been In conference so brief
a time. "The McRlnley bill had been In
conference two weeks, and our friend
on the other side," said he, addressing
the Democrats, "in 1894 'were in con
ference six weeks without reaching an
agreement."
"The trouble In 18M," said Mr. Italley,
"was that we were trying to run the
Democratic party with a lot of mug
wumps In command."
All efforts to rvnch an agreement
having failed, Mr. Dingley, with the
statement that h- would confer with
Mr. Bailey later, opened his speech on
the confercnif n poit. The figures and
details of the explanation of the
changes were very dry, but the house
gave him close and earnest attention.
