THE CAUCUS fiajaURNS Dacidos Not To Embarrass the Conferrees. Washlrgton, Aug. 8. -The house democratic caucus yesterday lasted nn hour and a half, and adjourned ifttr deciding that the house v.osferrees on the tariff bill should ".lot be embar rassed by Instructions of a-ty charac ter from their democrat'© associates. This action of the caucus was dis appointlng t its promoters, who had 1 toped for a different result, whereby a speedy settlement of the matter in dispute between the two houses might 1 ft reached. Another disappointment awaited those present, in that Mr. Wilso i, the chairman of the ways and means com mittee, failed to inform the caucus what progress the conferrees had made; what propositions had been made and rejected by the representa tives of the two houses and when, In his opinion, a report could be made. Nor did Speaker Crisp, who spoke at length, throw any light upon the situation, for the most that ho said was that an agreement might be reached at an early day. while he dampened the spirits of those who are pressing for an early adjournment by saying that congress would remain In session ninety days but that a tariff bill satisfactory to the country would be passed. A feature of the proceedings was a statement made by Mr. Boatner, of Louisiana, on the nuthority of Senator Mills, of Tennessee, that the house must recede from its objections to the senate amendments and agree to them if the passage of a tariff bill is to be expected. The characterization of this declara tion by Mr. Cooper, of Indiana, as a "bluff" seemed likely for a moment to result in an acrimonious debate. It did not, however, so result, and the entire proceedings were character ized by a spirit of harmony and good feeling. Before the serious work of the cau cus began a telegram was read from the clerk's desk announcing that Col. Gates had carried Alabama by a ma jority of 25,000. This was greeted with loud applause and put everybody In a good humor. Mr. Holman, the chairman of the caucus committee, presided. The roll call disclosed the presence of IGB mem bers, an unusually large number. Mr. Bynum, of Indiana, who was the moving spirit in securing the cau cus, said that as one of the democrats who had boon instrumental in secur ing the call, he desired to explain that no reflection was Intended on the house conferrees, nil of whom were his friends, and in each of whom he had the utmost confidence. His pur pose in asking for the caucus was to permit all the democrats In the house to meet and confer as to the best in terests of the country and of the dem ocratic party. He explained at some length the purpose of his resolution and stated that it was desirable that the democrats of the house should in vite the Senate conferrees to appear before them at a subsequent caucus In order that all the official represent tlvcs of the party in the city should take part in such deliberations and as sist in reaching a conclusion that would meet the approval of both houses. Mr. Bynum said that he know that a part of the people, represented by a great clamor in the press, demanded the house bill. But he knew also that the people In his district favored the best bill they could get and a prompt settlement of the present uncertainty upon some bill. He was frank to say ho much preferred the senate bill to no bill at all. Representative W. L. Wilson, the chairman of the committee on ways and means, was the next speaker. He said ho was glad of an opportunity to meet the democrats in council, but might not have selected this time for the purpose. He did not consider it fortunate, Just at the time when the situation was most critical—last week and this week—that the call for a cau cus should be held over the house con ferrees. As far as Mr. Bynum'a reso lution was concerned, he said, it ex pressed exactly what the conferrees bad been doing and were now doing. Referring to the merits of the two measures, Mr. Wilson said that the house bill had proved to be acceptable to the people, while the senate bill apparently had not. He appreciated tb? necessity, ho said, of the demo crats passing some bill, but it was not desirable that the bill should be one which put the democrats on the de fensive. He expressed the opinion that if necessary more than a ninth might well be spent in reaching an agree ment upon a proper bill. If the house conferrees did their duty and the house did its duty, he believed that a bill would result, honorably alike to the house and to the senate. But this end, Mr. Wilson assured the cau cus. would not, In his opinion, be has tened by any action that would seem to advise the senate conferrees that if they would hold out for some definite short period of time, that the bouse conferrees would agree with them. in conclusion, Mr. Wilson said that this was the feeling of all the house conferrees. and that they desired to carry out the programme along the line indicated. Rut he Intimated that if the present conferrees did not repre sent the wishes of a majority of the house they would willingly give way to others. Mr. Wilson spoke with great earn estness and much feeling, and his re marks were greeted with applause. Mr. Bland asked If it would not be a good thing for the committee on ways and means to report a bill put ting sugar on the free list. Tin? sug gestion evoked a round of applause, which was followed with laughter when he continued: "While the sen ate Is considering that proposition, we can take up a bill to Increase the in come tax to a hundred million dollars a year."

The police officers expect the strikers will make some kind of a demonstration at tho shops now. THE CAISSON DISASTER. How tho Soldiers at Chicago Wero Blown To Pieces. Washington, Aug. B.—The following official statement Is made regarding the cause of the caisson disaster at Chicago, in which several soldiers were blown to pieces: The explosion at Chicago resulted from defective plungers in the base percussion fuses of the 3.82 shell. These plungers are cylinders of brass, filled with lead, through which a pointed i■ in is forced by pressure until the point is in the plane of the for ward face of the cylinder, while the other end of the pin projects about a quarter of an inch beyond the rear plane of the cylinder. This plunger is placed in a cavity in the fuse plug, which plug Is solid at the rear and contains a percussion capsule at tho front. So long as the cylinder of tho plunger does not move, the point can- j not strike the percussion capsule. When the gun Is fired the lead-filled | brass cylinder strips down over the ! pin, leaving its point exposed. When | after firing the shell strikes a resist- i ing object, the cylinder and pin fly | forward, the point of the pin strikes the percussion capsule and the burst ing charge of the shell is ignited. Per cussion shell having plungers of this pattern have been in service since 1887. Examination showed that Jost ling in tlie chests, coupled probably | with corrosion of the lead, had caused some of the cylinders to jar down, leaving the points of the pin exposed. In this condition a sudden jolt could have caused an explosion. SECRETARY HERBERT'S TRIP. Will Cruise on tho Dolphin anil In spect Navy Yards.

MISSIONARIES MOBBED Quebec Witnesses a Riot ous Demonstration. Quebec, Autr. B.—'This city wns Ihe scene of a disgraceful and riotous demonstration. The French Baptist mission has recently been established in this city, with its headquarters In a building on Bridge street and be longing to a Mr. Samson. A mob gathered around the building and an attack was begun upon it with stones. The missionary inmates of the place at the time of the attack were Uev. Mr. liurwash, of Grande Ligne, gen oral evangelist; C. W. Grcnier, also of Grande Lingo, missionary, and Madame Qrenier, Mrs. Desjarllnes und Mrs. Taylor, of this city. The at tack was a tierce one, and the win dows and doors yielded to the shower of stones poured upon them. The poor preachers, cooped up In there without any means whatever of de fense, could not venture out and wore held prisoners for some time, until a force of police came along and cleared away the mob, which numbered 0,000, composed mostly of French Catholics. Seeing this, the mob robbed of Its prey, began to seek another, and away it went up to the building at the corner of George nnd Richelieu streets, occupied by the French An glican mission. This place, too, was wrecked, the windows, etc., being de stroyed. By the time the police got this far the rioters had moved on and Were at the Salvation Army barracks, on Palais Hill. Here another fusllade ut stones took place, and the property of the army sustained considerable damage. The girls who occupied the place were obliged to flee, and likewise the few men who were present. The police here also arrived too late to make any arrests, and hearing that the rioters had again made for the Grand Ligne Mission House, on Bridge street, they started in cabs for that place, where they arrived Just in time to prevent a second riot. The streets were clear ed and the missionaries were then es corted to their homes by the police to prevent uny further violence being of fered to them. There Is every reason to fear a re currence of the trouble, and the fact that similar disturbances led to rather serious results a few years ago gives rise to the gravest apprehension on this score. The city wns very quiet yesterday, but an outbreak is feared should the Salvation Army attempt to parade the streets. HROVBLE AT OMAHA. Caused by the Packing Houses Em ploying Xew Men.
