That's What Congressmen Are Asking. All Evas are Tarr Upon the Tariff Caucus Today. Surmises as to Action of Administration Men. Free Lance Independents Talking Viciously. Bland Says that Question is Misunderstood by Public.

WASHINGTON. Aug 7---In the corridors of the capitol this morning considerable uncertainty was expressed as to the attitude which the house conferees and the so-called administration democrats would assume toward the house caucus today. There are two sets of opinions expressed. One is that the administration men will go into the caucus and control it, and prevent the passage of any resolution instructing the house conferees to accept the senate hill. Another is that the administration men will stay away from the caucus so as to prevent any action.

Mr Bland and other free-lance Independents are talking somewhat Viciously against both sides. "The whole question." says Mr Bland. "is misunderstood. and the public view of the tariff question has been obscured by misrepresentation. I cannot see why the president is credited with standing by the house bill.

He is really advocating the senate bill. The house sent the senate a bill which provided for free sugar and an income tax. The president is opposed to an income tax. and practically stand by the senate on sugar. He wants them to put a tax on sugar, and in a way apologizes for the trust.

"Now, it is made to appear that the fight is on sugar. but everybody knows that it is merely a sham, and that iron and coal have been made an issue. These Items do not amount to anything as a question. They would not keep congress In session 24 hours. Let the president come out for an income tax and free sugar, which is the real meat of the house bill.

and the house. if it knows its temper. will sit it out till next March." Mr Bailey of Texas, who has been prominently Identified with the caucus movement. is quoted as saying that the senate bill. if brought to a vote in the house, would pass by a large majority.

and in this view he is supported by other democrats. When Mr Bynum was asked what had directly inspired the movement, he said: "We are ready to adjourn, and we want to know why no agreement Is reached." When his attention was called to the objection that no report had yet been made by the conferees, he said: "This will give them an opportunity to report." He added that he bad circulated the call in person; Mr Springer bad merely signed it- Those whom he had seen had signed it readily, and be had no doubt that it would be an harmonious caucus. There was no intention, he said. of embarrassing the conferees, but the delay In reaching a conclusion on the bill must be shortened if possible. Meantime both senate and house conferees will stand by today and see what comes of the house caucus.

Senator Gorman is quoted in an interview as expressing himself very emphatically on the situation as follows: "The house conferees refuse to do anything. They will not agree, nor will they consent to report a disagreement. They will have just 48 hours longer In which to make up their minds to do something. If at the end of that time they have not consented to an agreement or a disagreement, the senate will cut the gordian knot. We will strike the sugar schedule out of the bill and substitute free sugar.

"Louisiana seaators lave made a combination with the populists to demand the bounty for this year, amounting to 86.000.000. We will not give it. Before we will be driven to that we will have free sugar. That would deprive the treasury of 820.000.000 of revenue annually and be a hardship financially. But that cannot be avoided unless men come to reasonable action.

The president wants sugar taxed; so do we, but we cannot give up everything else for a tax on sugar." WELL KNOWN IN BOSTON. Capt James W. Graham Probably Pell Overboard While Asleep. The funeral of Capt James W. Graham.

There do they while away the pleasant hours of evening in amusements and pleasures, whieh only a home by the waves affords, and come to town each morning wondering at the mesmeric influence which compels perspiring humanity to remain in Boston over night during the hot season. Not a few of the men who labor under the city hall dome have already taken their vacations. going to mountain Or seashore as individual taste dictated, and have come back tanned and happy.

Some whipped the trout streams of New Hampshire and brought home good evidence of their luck; others fished for bass and pickerel in the lakes of Vermont and Maine, and still others joined the throng among the mountains.

QUINCY CITY COUNCIL. Plan for NATar Works Extension Had Its Final Reading. QUINCY, Aug 7The report of the joint committee of the city council on finance and water supply. recommending the appropriati3n of $30.000 for the extension of the water works, as asked for by Mayor HOdges, and the Introduction of an order to that effect at the meeting last evening, meets with the general approval of the citizens, and especially does it please the large number of unemployed stonecuttters. who will be employed on the work.

Mayor Hodges from the day of his election has advocated the hiring of citizens in all municipal work, and so far he has carried it out to the letter. The order took its first reading last night, and will probably be sent on its final passage at the special meeting next Tuesday evening. The mayor sent in a communication asking for authority to offer rewards for the arrest and conviction of incendiaries, and the city auditor informed the council that the appropriations for state aid under chapters 447 and 298 were exhausted. The electric light company asked for a location for five poles on Phipps st and two on River at. The committee on streets recommended that Buckley et be accepted as a public highway.

The finance committee asked for 8300 for the erection of the pest house, and the committee on public buildings recommended the appropriation of 8800 for a hot water heating system for the public library. This committee reported inadvisable to wire city hall for electrical purposes. The order granting a location of tracks on Franklin et and Independence av to the Quincy Boston street railway was laid upon the table as the location and the restrictions in the order were not satisfactory to the company. The public hearing on the widening of Copeland St closed without any arguments, and the matter was referred back to the committee on streets. HOPKI TON.

He left for Nova Scotia today for a long rest prior to resuming his duties in the interstate commerce commission at the capital. Asked for his views regarding a change in the interstate law. as was suggested during the recent strike, he said: "I do not think a of the statute will be made with reference especially to that. I do not know as there is any need of any change in that direction. I think the law is broad enough.

The representatives of the government utilized the law to some extent. The commission is always suggesting amendments. There is a bill carefully prepared by the committees of the two houses of congress on interstate commerce at this session, but it has not been acted upon by reason of the fact that the time has been absorbed by the tariff bill. "It was drafted by the committee with the greatest care, and seems to meet with the approval of different interests largely, and it seems as if it would pass when congress gets to it. It has many first-rate featitres and many things which meet with the approval of the commissioners." "What do think of the recent rail- road strike? "There is practically no difference of Opinion on that point.

A sympathetic strike is a piece of nonsense, and was so received universally. The action of the government was commended. and it was the fact that the common sense of the people as a whole condemned that sort of a strike. It had no sort of support in the minds of the people. "One thing is to be remembered, that there is a feeling of sympathy among all sensible and decent people for the men of the country who do all the work of the country, the manual labor, and are obliged to bring up their families and have to do it on a compensation of from Il to :3 a day.

"If a man has no sympathy with these 1 men I am pretty sure he never had the backache much from laboring But that does not mean that the people sympathize with nonsense. 'I think the condition of laboring men Is going to improve. Labor must sooner 1 or later get on a Just basis, as between the laborers themselves and as between them as a class and their employers." "Will such improvement come so long as the doors of immigration are wide (Ten to the world?" 'It will be tremendously retarded by the present habit of bringing laborers into the country. There has got to be a good deal of wise legislation on the subJect of immigration, and there has got to be a good deal, in like manner, of legislation touching all the economic questions connected therewith. "Justice is a strong element in American character, and whatever is wrong toward labor, if there be SN rong, as I suppose there may be, there will certainly be found a remedy in the end.

The agitation going on will probably produce more or less legislation that Is unwise, but in the end it will produce a good deal that la just and proper. "I do not think that in the end labor Is going to suffer much in injustice. I think the work of reform in dealing with labor is going to be pretty rapid. but it is in danger of being retarded a great deal by unwise efforts. as illustrated by the recent sympathetic strike."

At a critical moment the spool of twine held by Mr Ritchie gave out, and while Mr Eddy was waiting for another line to be attached the kite lost Its hold of the upward movement of the air and began to descend. The air once settled to calm and the kite came down so rapidly that Mr Eddy was compelled to haul In line with all possible speed to prevent the kite from going into the scrub oak lining the side of the hill.

He says that but for the unfortunate giving out of the line there is a possibility that a very remarkable ascent might have been made. Clayton of the observatory says that the action of the kite confirms a meteorologicil theory that patches of Cloud cause vertical currents of air. He recorded the occurrence in the journal of the observatory, giving the bight of the upward whirling movement as 500 feet. Mr Eddy thinks it might have been 1700 feet, but be agreed with Mr Clayton. that it was better to understate it than to overstate it.

Unfortunately there was no time to triangulate the altitude with a base line. Mr Eddy thinkS that the cord let out Is yet wound on the same spool, and that Ks length can be measured at Bergen point, where the cord has been sent by express. After this whirlwindprobably due to the rise of heated air above the bill had passed, the air settled to a dead calm interspersed with puffs of wind varying from three to 10 miles an hour. At 5.30 the wind had set in with a good, steady flow for the night -Mr Eddy says that only twice has he seen this phenomenon at Bergen point, and then on a very small scale. Boston has one-fifth more wind than New York, and he thinks that such an air whirl would be more persistent at Boston than on the New Jersey coast near New York.

Mr Eddy has presented all his kites used in the experiments to Blue Hill observatory, and it is possible that a number of experiments will be made very soon. but the serious work of raising relatively heavy instruments will not be undertaken until early next year at Blue Hill, unless A. Lawrence Rotch, the director, should determine to do so on his return from Europe. Prank N. Lawton will manage the discs of silk, coated with tin foil, to be sent on the kite string at Bergen point, Mr Billy himself taking charge of the lifting apparatus.

Some experiments will be made to determine the length of electric sparks to be drawn from a clear sky under varying conditions, after the general plan tried by Alexander McAdie at Blue hill In 1885. It is expected that the Welt attained by McAdie's tall kites will be more than tripled, and since increasing electric pull results from increasing bight, it is possible that a whole stratum of air may discharge its electric force down the kite line. An attempt to add to the safety of the experiment will be made by fastening the kite line to distant objects and connecting these objects with a horizontal insulated line at the earth's surface. Edwin Thorne Jr of Saugatuck, Conn. obtained some lively sparks from a clear sky with steel wire 1200 feet long, the kite being probably 800 feet high.

ASSETS DOUBLI LIABLEMIES.

Warren Live Stock Company of Cheyenne Goes Into Hands of a Receiver. CHEYENNE, Wyo, Aug Warren live stock company of this city went Into the hands of a receiver yesterday. William W. Gleason the former manager of the company was appointed receiver. The aggregate liabilities are a trifle Over $200,000, a majority of which is held by eastern creditors.

The assets. which consist of 84,000 acres of land, 70,000 head of sheep. 3000 head of cattle and 2000 head of horses. are estimated to be worth $450,000 at the present depreciated prices. The failure is due solely to the depredation in the value of live stock the past year.

The company sustained a loss of $250,000 from this cause alone in 1.394. Ex Senator Francis E. Warren is president of the company, which has a paid up capiall of $538,000. He is also largely interested in the Warren mercantile eompany of Cheyenne and Salt Lake, the Cheyenne City gas comapny and the Cheyenne electric light company. He says, however, that ncne of these institutioins well be sericusly affected.

Rye Good, Barley Arerage and Pastures Looking Up. For the past two weeks the state board of agriculture has been carrying on an investigation with a view of ascertaining the condition of the crop in Massachusetts, and the prospects of a good harvest. The following questions were asked every correspondent in the state. and answers have been received from 108: What insects are proving most troublesome in your locality? What is the condition of Indian corn, and what proportion of the crop will be put into the silo? What is the quantity and quality of the hay crop as compared with former years? What forage crops are being raised to supplement the hay crop and eke out the pasturage. and what is their condition? What is the condition of market garden crops, including potatoes, and how have those already harvested compared In yield and price with former years? What is the prospect for apples, pears.

peaches. grapes and cranberries? What is the condition of pasturage in your vicinity? How have rye, oats and barley compared with former years? From the returns received it is learned that the potato beetle and the horn fly are prevalent and troublesome. It is thought that both these insects are more plenty and more destructive than usual. The horn fly appears to be pretty generally scattered over the state, for among those reporting its presence are correspondents in Richmond, Ash-field. Blandford.

Pelham, North Brookfield, Sherborn, Topsfield and North Westport. Cattle owners troubled by this insect are referred for facts concerning its habits, and ways to destroy it. to bulletin No. 24 of the Hatch experiment station, Amherst. Mass.

Several correspondents report grasshoppers to be unusually plenty. Other irsects reported as doing more or less damage are squash bugs and borers, white grubs. cabbage worms. rose bugs, onion maggots. cut worms.

army worms and fire of cranberry worms. A number of correspondents report no Insects particularly prevalent or troublesome. The correspondent In Medway reports honey bees as destroying a large percent of his raspbe'ries. During the past month Indian corn has suffered considerably owing to the dry weather but the recent rains have greatly improved the stand, and a good crop is now promised. Some of the correspondents refer to the outlook as excellent It is thought that as a rule but a small portion of the crop will be put into silos.

Some correspondents report no silos in their vicinity, and others that three-fourths of the crop will be put Into silos. It is believed that our successful dairy farmers are placing more and mote dependence upon the silo. The returns of correspondents seem to Indicate that the hay crop has been harvested generally in excellent condition and that the quality as a rule is very good. Some speak of it as "splendid" and "never better." The yield wts probably about three-fourths of an average, owing largely to the dryness of the season. Owing to the uncertainty of obtaining a proper supply of green food for dairy cattle by placing entire dependence in the pastures, it is becoming more and more the custom for our dairymen to plan to supplement the hay crop and to eke out the pastures by the growing of forage crops.

Among the crops grown fodder corn Is no doubt the most universal. Hungarian grass, sweet corn, millet. oats, barley, barley and oats, barley and peas, oats and peas, cabbage. rye, and roots are also used, and either fed green, hayed, or put into the silo. These crops are quite generally looking well, though there is complaint of oats rusting.

The correspondent in Franklin reports millet sprouted and then dried up. The correspondent In Fairhaven states that Hungarian grass is the favorite substitute for hay. The correspondent In Blackstone states that Indian corn is the main dependence; after that millet, barley and oats. The correspondent in Worcester states corn, barley and millet are mostly grown for fodder, with barley the favorite. These crops have been more or less Injured by dry weather and are somewhat less than average in quantity, with prices low.

The correspondent In Halifax writes, 'Yield poor. prices poorer." The correspondent in Arlington writes. "Crops look well, prices low." The correspondent in Winchester writes, "The first good shower came on the 22d followed by rains on the 24th and 25th, which thoroughly wet the ground, making a great opportunity for setting cauliflower. cabbage and celery plants. Everything promises well for the fail." On account of the dry weather the crop of early potatoes is very light, and some fields will not yield enough to pay for the labor of digging.

The potatoes are quite small as a rule, but are of good quality. Prices low. Apples and pears generally promise well, though the range of returns is from "scarce" to "abundant" and "splendid." Some complain of apples dropping off The prospect for grapes is fair to good There will be but few peaches. The crop of cranberries promises to be much lighter this year than usual. Pastures were greatly injured by the drouth, but have improved slightly since the laic rains.

Many correspondents refer to them as being "very chort." "crisp," "dry" and as "badly The rye crop was on the whole a good average crop, and some correspondents refer to it as excellent and above average. Oats were more injured by the dry weather, and there are a number of complaints of I List. Barley is an average crop. Death of Penjamin F. Connell.

Mr Connell wat a native of Newport, Petition to That Effect Finds No Favor with Secretary of Navy. Gallant Record Reaches Back More Than 100 Years. Upon several occasions efforts have been made for the abolition of the Marine have signally failed.

and within a fortnight a petition to congress, asking for the withdrawal of marines from on board men-of-war, wag sent to the secretary of the navy for his indorsement The petition was from the men on board the new cruiser Raleigh. which was to have been followed with petitions from all the other vessels in the service, but the summary action of the head of the navy department, In unfavorably indorsing the petition of the men of the Raleigh, doubtless has deterred sending them to the secretary. The secretary of the navy indorsed the petition as follows: "The department does not approve the object of the petition. The marine corps ig entitled for its long and efficient service from the beginning down to the present day. In peace and ware to the favorable consideration of congress.

The government has not anywhere In Its service a more faithful or efficient body of men than the 8 marine corps." 1.1.0M. Few persons are aware that the marine corps is the oldest branch of our naval service, for before the organization of the regular navy, and in fact before the declaration of independence, It was mstitutect by the continental congress to promote the "Pub lick Defence" cautiously. It consisted of two battalions of men, and none were admitted to membership but good seamen, acquainted with maritime affairs, that they might be able to serve to advantage on sea as well as on land the war between Great Britain and the colonies. They were known as the 1st and 2d battalion of American marines. To the credit of the marine corps belongs the first victory in battle of the regular navy.

The fight was on the island of New Providence, one of the Bahamas, in 1778. Under John Paul Jones, in the action between the Ranger and the Drake. and the great battle between the Bonhomme Richard and the Serapis, in the fight between the frigate Philadelphia and the Tripolitan, and In the attack on the Tripolitan gimboats Aug 3, 1803, they served with distinction. They were in the remarkable march of Gen Eaton from Alexandria to Derne, nearly SOO miles through northern Africa. where a small detachment of marines.

under Lieut 0Bannon, mounted on camels and asses in the caravan leavened the lump of Arabs and Greeks in the service of the United States, and in the attack on Derne, stormed the principal work, took possession of the battery, planted the American flag for the first time on a fortress in the old world, and turned its guns upon the enemy. During the war of 3812 they were exceedingly active on sea and on shore. In all the bloody fights of that war between the Chesapeake and Shannon, the Constitution and Guerriere, the United States and Macedonian, and the fight of the Essex on the Pacific, and the battle of lake Erie and lake Pontchartrain, the corps covered itself with glory and lost many valuable officers and men. Four-elevenths of the officers of the marine corps were slain in that war. They fought with Scott in Canada, with Winder at Bladensburg, with Jackson at New Orleans.

and in many affairs on the coast of Maine and on the.shores of Chesapeake and Delaware bays. In the interval between 1815 and the Florida war, 1836-38, they quelled a revolt in the Massachusetts state prison. acted against pirates in the West Indies and Malays and Sumatra, and guarded property during the great fire in New York. The service in the Florida war was volunteered, and they gained great distinction and suffered considerable losses. From 1346 to 48 the corps was engaged In the war with Mexico, where it figured in every quarter and made a most excellent record.

It was present at the capture of Monterey. San Francisco and Mazatlan; fought at Mazatlan, San Diego, San Gabriel, San Jose and Guaymas, and with such credit that Corn Shubrick recommended the government to double the guards of all vessels coming to that station. On the east coast they were engaged in the capture of Matamoras, Frontera, Tabasco and Vera Crux. They participated In all the brilliant operations which marked the march to the City of Mexico, where they were stationed in the ancient palace, which explains the inscription on the corps Tripoli to the halls of the Monteaumas." A few years later, 1E52-53, some of these Mexican heroes were marching to the same music through the streets of Yeddo, the capital of Japan, as part of the celebrated expedition of Corn Perry. In 1857 they dispersed mobs in Bain-more, and in 1858 they had a fierce con-filet with savage natives in the Fiji islands.

The same year they protected American citizens in Montevide01 and quelled a riot on Staten Island, New York city. In 1859 they suppressed the John Brown insurrection in Virginia, and secured property and lives on the east coast of Africa and the isthmus of Panama. The great rebellion made the next apecial demand upon the services of the marine corps, and they were rendered "noble and well and admirably in camp and red." They assisted in the attempt to reinforce Fort Sumter, and destroying the navy yard at Norfolk, Va. They were conspicuous in the first battle of Bull Run, in the celebrated Trent affair, in the Merrimac's fight with the Cumberland and Congress: at Roanoke island, In the James and Potomac rivers; in the blockade of the whale coast, and on the western rivers they served faithfully and well. They were prominent in the fight between the Kearsarge and Alabama; at the Samoni Saki forts in Japan and In the great battles of New Orleans and Mobile they covered themselves with glory.

At fort Fisher, in the operations before Charleston, and the night attack on fort Sumter they were Very actively engaged. At the revolution in Panama, a few years ago, they did excellent service. This incomplete outline of the principal public services of the marine corps for ever 100 years exhibits an infinite variety. and gives some idea of the great utility and mobility of "web-footed These qualities have helped to secure for them the highest commendations of the most famous naval commander. Congress has 19 times, by joint resolution, tendered its thanks to them, or expressed its high sense of their valor or good conduct.

The marine corps has well sustained the high reputation for steadfast courage and loyalty which has been handed down to it, and they wear with pardonable pride and jealous care the title of "Ever jack Kelley Recaptured.
