He says that in i his opinion there is up cbanco of tho pop guns 1 bills for froe sugar, coal and iron passing the I senato and that If ho wore a member of the1 InWAr fanilQA' nnrt In fnvn. if mkniilniitarlfrM. THE FIGHT IS OYER. resolution on account of tho free sugar provision and generally protested against the treatment of the Loyifiaua interests. As tho hour of 'i when tho houso Was to meet, approached, the cry of "Voto! vote!" went up from the impatioot members.

Mr. Uobertson of Louisiana continued to urge that it would be bad faith to cut off tbe Louisiana planters from the bounty on this yoar's crop, on which they had reckoned when they put it in. This was adopted by a voto of ISO yoa3 to 21 nays: Representative Tucker of offered a resolution thanking and oomtneading tho house 'eoaforrees for their loyal service. Tho resolutioa was as follows: "The Democratic members of the Fifty third anything In the caucus to day exenpt talk the situation over. I have come to the conclusion that there uoen be iX haste in taking notion.

Wo will watt and see what the senate will do. Perhaps Mill's amendment will bo defeated. At any rate we have the bill and thoy cannot take it from us. I do not fear thot tho senate will voto to postpone action on the tariff. Senator Gorman and his frlendB do not want to take any such responsibility.

This ii the last thing they will do. Conferences nre created for tho purpose of bringing about an agreement and tho houso conforoes may decide to agree to the senato amendments; then again they mny not. At any rate, if the house con freo8 will be governed by my advice; they will assume tbe responsibility and take their own time, and not rush in and commit a reckless action by tnking the senate bill." It will be seen from this that at least sobs, of the house members have had their backs stlf fenod. Breckinridge and Wilson threw up their hands and said they were willing to surrender on Saturday; now they s.e that they yielded too soon and want to begin the fight over again. Thoy have partially recovered from Gorman's body blow and have got their second wind, Dut the best of them are lamentably weak.

They always have been and always will be. Th. Democracy of the country is most fortunate in having these strong men within the lines Grover Cleveland, Walter Q. Gresham and William F. Vilas.

It is unfortunate in not having three such men to stand up against tbe senatorial cabal in the conference room. Senator Vilas said to the Eagle correspondent this morning "I cannot understand Spoaker Crisp's aetfon in calling this caucus together to day. There was no reason why he should do so and he showed a lamentable lack of sand in throwing up tho fight at this time. I firmly believe, as I stated to you last week, that If we bad held out a few days loager we' would huv. won.

We have the Gorman combination thoroughly frightened. I do not believe that Sen utor Hill had any understanding with Gorman when he offered his resolution on Friday. He did it as a free lance, on his own responsibility; that he committed a grave error, I think, he himself now realizes. But why Crisp turned nnd ran at the first bl.w I do sot understand, unless it is because he has really never at heart been with us. Mr.

Cleveland was astounded at the decision to call a of ftunwlilno and Shower. "No, there la no hot, or even uncomfortably warm weather in sight, so far as I can see," said Mr. II. C. Howe this morning as ho surveyed with much interest the weather bureau's map of tho United' States, criss croacd and cut up with little blue and red lines.

Mr. Howe is Farmer Dunn's chief assistant and was left In charge by that man when he left for Washington to try and win the weather forecasting professorship. "In fact," said the man of sunsbino and showers. there is nothing In our forecast that should not satisfy the most exacting. We may have a fow light showers this afternoon and night and It may grow a trifle warmer tomorrow, but nothing to speak of.

"Uarring a little unpleasant dryness out in Kansas and Missouri, whore it has not rained for a couple of weeks, the weather throughout the "United Statos Is all that could bo asked. To day it is cloudy in tho Middle Atlantic and coast states. Yesterday the rain extended over the extreme Eastern states, including New England. It was heaviest at Norfolk, where it reached a trifle over an Inch and a half. Over tho Middle and lake states It is clear, but cool, the average temperature being in Missouri and Michigan 68 degrees, and Wyoming, 4C degrees.Down at Key West It is but 84 degrees, which they will regard as very pleaBant.

"The temperature here is 68 degrees, with 83 degrees of humidity. In Albany the thermometer registers CO degrees; Chicago, 72; New Orleans, 78; Des Moines, 78; Kansas City, 80; St. Louis, 74; Cheyenne, 6G; Denver, 6G; Bismarck, 64; St. Paul, 66, and 'Frisco, 50." Farmer Dunn is expected home in a few days. The contest in which he is engaged lasts but ten days, and he has been absent nearly that time already.

Although the result will not be known for several days, yet private advices from tho farmer say he has beon fortunate in all his prognostications there, MR.

August 13 General headquarters of the national guard and the gov ernor's military secretary both deny absolutely that any request for national guard troops was made by the United States for assistance at Chicago and also deny the story printed In New York morning papors to the effect that the Seventh regiment of New York, the Tenth battalion of Albany and the throe companies of Troy were the ones selected to go to the scene.

Assistant Adjutant General Phlsterer says: "No communication of any sort had passed between the federal and state government relative to assistance at Chicago, and no orders, verbal or otherwise, were issued from this departmont." Colonel Judson, the military secretary of the governor, said: "It is all talk from unofficial sources. The federal government never asked for any assistance and nobody here had any Idea that they would need any." GEKAL.UIA WAS EASILY SWINDLED.

Geralgla produced his timepiece and tbe Btranger looked at the works In a solemn way and said wisely, as Is the manner of men under such circumstances: "Pretty good watch, I think." Geralgla agreed and said it was a rare timekeeper. The stranger finally said be would buy it for $50 and offered tho seller a one hundred dollar bill In payment.

WHERE THE ABORIGINES CAME FROH. Au Important Discovery Uniting: Tliem Willi tlte Malay. Washington, D. August 15 What is characterized' as the most Important discovery concerning the aborigines mado for many years Is announced as the result of researches made by Professor Cyrus Thomas of the United States bureau of ethnology. Contrary to previous views Professor Thomas sets forth as a fact that Mexican civilization originated with the Malays of the South Pacific seas, and establishes a connection between the language of the Malays and the Mayas, now In Yucatan.

Tho latter language, according to his views, is a direct offshpot of the Malay, that spoken by the people of Malacca, Java and Sumatra. It Is claimed at the bureau that this discovery throws new light on the aboriginal races, and will result In an entire remodeling of the views heretofore advanced as to the history and native civilization of Central America.

A Columbia Heights Butler Held for the Grand Jury. Mil.

JOHN NOTMAN HIRES A LAWHRFOR OH. Other Well Rnown Society People At Inter ei ted In His Case and Fashionable Butcher Bnrrell Becomes His Bondsman Can It Be Possiblo That the Bonn Crummol of the Box and Whip fins Gullr.y of the Vulgarity Which the Theft of a Watch Displays James" Richardson Is or was until recently th dandiest butler in Willow street That means something, for Willow street boasts beside lis near proximity to fashionable Columbia heights, a number of wealthy residents of its own who ride in stylish turnouts and hob nob with the best people. Men of such intellect as Justloe Bartlett and Justice Cullen possess live on Willow street, but James was tbe glory of the thoroughfare. His customary and favorite attitude was one of elsgant repose, sitting on tho box of the handsome oarrlage that stopped daily in front of the residence of Mrs. Frederick Vou Berkendorff at 150.

It was thore that James won his proudest triumphs, for bis natty ilgUV was displayed in a well fitting livery ot dark blue, with yellow trimmings, brightly burnished silver buttons, paWnt leather top boots and a' high bat, whoso sheen was rivalled only by that of his own buttons, and a buff waistcoat, tha hue of which by contrast gave tone to James' sable complexion. With the reins from a restive equine head In one hand and a gold mounted whip in the other, James was the admiration of nil the servant girls in the street and the envy of all the other butlers. When with their wonted cordiality Mrs. Von Berkendorff and her husband used to shake hands with the resplendent figure on the box his hair was aoeustomed to onrl peroeptibly closer to his round head and the ramrod of dignity soemed to shoot through bis spinal column and oonvert his air of cempla cont dalliance with himself into one of nice appreciation of tho gravity of the occasion. Then when the carriago doors were closed Jams would drive away and the sunlight faded out of tbe street.

Tho neighbors all conceded that Mr. and Mrs. Von Berkendorff were justly entitled to such a butler, for she is very wealthy, and ae, aioeii too (loop suirt industry willon lapsed when that vorioty of skirts wont out of fashion once claimed him, is counted a very estimable man, who enjoys tbe middle age of his Ufa in ease, not to say luxury. However that may be it is certain that the Von Berken dorffs regarded thoir butler with affectionate interest. When they went away for the summer James was always assured that he would be welcomed Daoic to his old placo in the fall.

Mrs. Von Borkendorff nnd hsr husband will read' of James' downfall as they sit on the lazza of tho hotel at their summer resort with he deepest grief, for appearances muoh against him now. The grand jury bos been oauea upon to say wnetnor he shall bo Indicted for larceny, and it all came about in this way: Maggie Whaley, a good looking young woman living at 202 Novy street, was going aiong mnoe street the other night, never dreaming that any harm was about to come to her, when a well dressed colored man stepped alongside of her. Ho grabbed her watch, she Bays, and ran. Officer Morly of the Adams street police station caught up with him and landed him In the station.

It was James Blob ardson. One of his hands had a fresh out, which, he said, be had reooived while washing dishes at the Wild West show. Tho watch was found oa the street near the station house where It had been dropped. When James was taken' before Justice Walsh he denied Vary stoutly that he had taKen tho watch. His wife, a fine looking mulatto, was lujeourt and so were others to testify as to bis character.

Among the others was a Hebrew tailor, named H. Sobauer, who has a shop on Hicks street and who repaired ad pressed Mr. Van Barken doriTs elothing. Mr. Sohauer is short and dark and in every way a person Inferior to James as for as appearances go.

Whether he nursed a deadly hostility for James because of jealously or because of some real.or fancied slight during their intercourse as the tailor and the butler respectively to Mr. Frederick Von Berkendorff will probably never bo revealed. It is certain, howovor, that Sit. Sohauer declared very vigorously that Mr. Richardson bad a fondness for appropriating to hii own use the belongings of others and that ho bad always nursed such a fondness since Mr.

Scuauer had known him. Despite the fact that the resouraos of legal skill wore exhausted in James Richardson's behalf Justice Walsh held hira for the grand jury. It was clear that something must be done, so Mr. John Notmon, the husband of Mre. Von Berken dorffs daughter, who is well in tho heights society, was made acquainted with tbe butler's position.

He hired a lawyer to defend James and whon tho judge deoiarod that tbe latter must furnish bail in the sum of $00 James Burrell. the Von BerkendorfTs butcher, of 11 Clinton strnet, was persuaded to go on the bond. All Willow street is hanging with Intense interest on the fate of James Richardson and Incidentally a number of sordid individuals are looking for bis job. DROVE TRUCKS OK OCEAN PARRWAY. Two iTIcn Arrested and Prosecuted by the Park Department.

The first arrests under the new park ordinance prohibiting tho driving of heavy trucks on the main driveway of the Ocean parkway were made on Saturday when Commissioner Squler caused the arrest of Henry Lieb, a milkman of Woodlawn, who was driving a truck load of feed, and Jacob Singer, a butcher of Parkville, who was taking home a wagon load of stock. This morning both men were before Justice Alfred E. Steers. Assistant Corporation Counsel Angell appeared for the department and Counselor Warren S. Campbell tor the defendants.

"This is a very Important case," Judge Steers said, "and I will take until Friday morning before I give a decision." In 1889 Charles Crooke was arrested at the Instance of the park commissioners for surveying on the road. He spent one hour in a cell before ho was balled out. He was discharged whon the case was taken to court and In turn sued the department and secured damages to the extent of ji.S9. A STEIKF. 03 THK PRKHCII MSKBS.

Washington, D. August 13 An hour before 10 o'clock, the time set for tho caucus, members began to arrive at tho capitol and hasty consultations were held on the course to bo pursued. Speaker Crisp was Joined in his private office by Chairman Vil30n and Representatives Turner, McMlllin and Montgomery, making the full membership of the house Democratic conference committee. Representative Breckinridge of Arkansas, an advisory member of the conference was also present. It was final consultation on the line of action to be presented by the house leaders to tho caucus.

The meeting lasted until it was time for the caucfus to In tho meantime there was a scene of animation on the floor of the house. Representatives Tracey, Strau3, Warner and others passed among their associates and stiffened up the sentiment of loyalty to the conferrees. It was apparently uphill work, however, as the of feeling among the rank and file of members seemed to bo setting strongly in favor ot accepting the senate bill without further delay. At 10 o'clock Speaker Crisp and all the conferrees filed out of the speaker's office and took seats in a body in the forward part of the Democratic side. There was an ominous sllc nca as they came in.

At that time 153 Democratic members were on the floor. As Mr. Wilson passed through the corridor to the house, he was asked as to the result of the conference in the speaker's room, but answered: "I cannot make it known yet." Chairman Holman called the caucus to order promptly and the call for the meotlng was read. Tho roll call, which followed, took some time and members shifted uneasily for the dscisive action ahead; Chairman Wilson took the floor immediately after tho roll call and began a statement of the situation. He spoke calmly and dispassionately and received the closest attention.

Members left their seats and crowded eagerly about him, listening intently to every word. It is seldom that such eager interest had been shown at a caucus. Mr. Wilson began with a recital of the difficulties that have been encountered. He went over each stage of the situation with much detail.

He said that each step had been pursued with an ardent desire to support with honor the desireB of the house of representatives and to resist what was regarded as the unreasonable demands of the senate. Mr. Wilson did not confine himself to generalization. He took up tha contested schedules, particularly sugar, coal and Iron ore. and reviewed the differences In conference on these' main items.

He took up each proposition on sugar and spoke of the vast profits to the sugar trust which would result from many of. these propositions. He did not Indulge in the sharp criticism that was expected on the motives of the senate conferrees. While Mr. Wilson was Bpeakfng the word was passed around among members that the conference in the speaker's room had resulted in decisive action, and that Speaker Crisp himself would move that the house recede and accept the senate bill.

At first the information was so startling that It was doubted, but as member after member heard and made inquiry, the opinion became general among the best informed men In the houso that the report was correct, although It could not be positively verified from Mr. Crisp or the conferrees. Mr. Wilson spoke of the fight made by the house conferrees for a specific duty on sugar, on the ground that under an advalorem system It would be impossible to tell, on account of the invoice methods, the exact advantage which would accrue to the sugar trust. He made the remarkable statement that ho had been informed and believed that tbe "sugar, had, anticipating the enactment of the senate sugar schedule, purchased $112,000,000 worth of raw sugar.

If this were true, he said, the, profits accruing to the trust from this Investment in advance of the enactment of the senate schedule would be at least Mr. Wilson also pointed out at length the embarrassment attending the efforts to adjust the coal and iron schedulos. "The groat battle," said Mr. Wilson, warming up to his subject, "is between the American people and the sugar trust. It is a battle in which the trust has taken the people by tho throat and it will never end until we throw oft the grip." There was enthusiastic applause at this.

He proceeded to state that the house conferrees had been willing to concede almost everything except these vital items of sugar, Iron and coal; that the senate conferrees had also seemed willing to concede much and held much the same views, but were apparently dominated by the knowledge that if they conceded what they themselves were willing to concede, the bill could riot pass and the agreement would be useless. Mr. Wilson concluded by saying that bo had now become satisfied It was either tho senate bill or no legislation. Mr. Wilson closed at 11:05 o'clock, having talked just an hour.

It was understood, however, that Mr. Wilson had not yielded the floor permanently, but would' resume lator, after his conference associates, Mgeers. Montgomery, McMlllin and Turner, had corroborated his statement as to details. Mr. Montgomery then took tho floor and substantiated what Mr.

Wilson had sold as to the details of the conference. Speaker Crisp followed Mr. Montgomery. He spoke with much spirit and earnestness and soon the caucus was in a tumult of enthusiasm, round after round of applaue. greeting his utterances.

Ho ppoke of the critical condition and at the apparent need to accept tho senate bill, and then, if need be, to introduce separate bills far free sugar, tree icon and tree coal. He followed in the line of Mr. Wilson's declaration saying that it was "either the senate bill or uo bill." Ho said that as long as there was a desperate ohance of securing concessions the house demanded he was in favor standing out, but he was now satisfied the time had com. when further inslstenc. by tho house was useless.

He closed his remarks by offering the following resolution Instructing the house oonferrees to recede: Besolved, That it is tho sense of this caucus that the order heretofore mado requesting a conference with the senato on the disagreeing vote of the two houses on house resolution No. 4,864 be resoinded. That th. heretofore appointed an the part of the houso bo discharged from, further duty i that behalf and that the houso recede from Its disagreement to tho senate amendments to said bill, and ogreo to the same. further, that the house shall at one.

proceed to the consideration of separate bills, placing tho following articles on the free list, viz: bugar in all us lortns; iron ore, coal and barbed wire. The committee an rules is requested to report nn order providing for the prompt consideration of such motion and bills. A reat burst of applause erected the read ing of the resolution, but half a dozen Irate Demoorats were on their feet demanding rocos nlti.n, prominent among them being Bourke Cookran of New York. Owing to tho lateness of tho hour, a rule was adopted limiting further speeches to live nun utes. Then Mr.

(Spocinl to tne Washington, D.

August 13 Tho President of the United States regards the present tariff situation as the most momentous crisis In the History of his party since tho civil war. He believes that If Speaker Crisp, patchings and tbe men who are working with them accept the senate Dill to day, as they seem inclined to do, they will commit a fatal mistake, if not political suicide. The house is divided against itself. Chair man Wilson, Congressman Breckinridge of Arkansas and others decided late last night thut they would not accept tbe senato bill to day, and would oppose precipitate action with every moans at inoir command. This morning Senator Grey, before going to the White House where he bad been summoned by the President, obtained from Henry li Smith, the ox journal elerk or tbe house, and the man whom the late Samuel J.

Kundsill, Samuel Cox, David B. Hill and other distinguished parliamentarians rogordod as the best posted man in this country on practice, his viow of the situation: After leaving" Senator Grey, Mr. Smith was seen by the correspondent ot the Eagle, and iu made the following statement: "If the house to day precipitates the violation Of the rules that certain of its members threaten, by disregarding the uniform practices since tho establishment of the government, it will be a thing which I am suro they will certainly regret hereaiter, lor the result do.ired can be easily accomplished by a special rule, reported froai the committee on rules, as I will explain. I regard this as tbe greatest political turning point since the war congress met, with the exception of the contest over the electoral count in the forty fourth congress. If this extreme action should be taken, I am certain lhat.it would result in benefiting the Populist party at the expense of tbe Democratic party.

Tbe Republicans have taken their ground and ure united in opposing tbe bill. The Democrats and Poou lists are in agreement upon many of its lending ieatures, una tbls action ot tbe house will greatly inoenso tbe senate for tho reason that it would bu taken in violation of all parliamentary precedent and of fact that tbe senate amendments needed further amendments and" oorreotlon, and in some respoets perhaps, entire elimination. I understand that the eon lerence report is substantially complete. With the exaeptlpa of a few items, and the acceptance by the house ot tne senate amendments In tamr entirety would be an unfortunate thing fnr tbe country, for I believe tho bill will be impossible of executiou. It is full of errors, ambiquitles and contradictions, and for these reosous would afford the President grounds for vetoing it.

If the' bill Was allowed to become a law it would moat likely be taken to tbe suprome eourt and this body would, in my judgment, knock It out if passed in its present form. A decision touching this point was rendered by Judge Harlan on a bill passad in the flfty ilrst oongress. The parliamentary situation in respect to the tariff bill is very clear and plain "when the exact facts are known. When the.senate passed the bill on July 3 last. With amendments, a conference was asked with tho house on the amendments.

The house assented; the oonferrees disagreed and so reported to their respectives houses. Tho report was first made to the house of representatives, becaus. it was the body assenting to the conference and had the papers. The hoase then further disagreed t. senate amendments, asked a farther conference, and appointed tlw same c.nferroes.

The senate insisted on Its amendments, agreed to the conference and appointed its former conforrees. Under the uniform practice since the founda t.on of the government, the papers were left with the senate to be transferred to Its con ferrees. That was the rale and practice of the house of commons from which our rules ana practice were taken and is so stated by Mr. Jefferson in his manual by Jlr. Cuahlug, and in fact is 89 stated by all writers on parliamentary law nnd.

practice. Technieallv nnd properly the papers are in the hands o'f the senate conferrees for use in conference, and in the event of an agreement or disagreement would be reported to the senate, as in the former case the report was made to tbe house by virtue of tho fact that the house or its conferrees had rightful possession of the The bill, therefore, in a strict parliamentary 6enso, is not in the possession of the house for uny legislative action nntil the conference' cemmittea reports an ngreemeut or disagreement, or tho conference is dissolved by the action of either body, ns It may properly do. Either bouse may instruct its oonferrees In any particular respect or It may Withdraw them. That can bo dene in the senate under its rules and in the house by a special rule, which could be passed In two hours. That would cut the Gordion knot and the house might then recall the bill from the senate by special order.

Of course, senate might refuse to return it, but there is no precedent for uoh action. "It is not generally known that Jefferson's manual was written for tho senate, while the house for many ytnrs has had a rule (now xliv) providing thatithe rules and practice comprised in said manual shall govern the house in all eases to which they are applicable, nnd in Which they are not inconsistent with tho scand ing rules of the house and the Joint rules. "There are no jelnt rules and have been none since the Forty fourth congress growing out of the contest over the twenty second joint rule, which regulated the electoral couat, but both houses have observed their terms and followed the practice thereunder. In the digest of the house for the present session appears the following paragraphs which were in editions of my digest and manual, and whioh wore in Mr. Barclay's diciest from its first publication in viz.

j.no requsst lor a conference must I always be by tbe house, which is possessed of I tho papers. (Manual, page 17G.) In all cases of oonierence asuea alter a voto ot disagreement, the conferrees of the bouse asking it are to leave the papers with the conforrees or the other. (Manual, page Via.) And of course the report must llrst bo made to" the bouse ugr.oiair to the conference It is unfortunate that the congress of the United States should bo the only legislative body in this country without joint rules. It Is equally unfortunate that on all these questions of a parliamentary character, where there is no express rule to gevern, should he decided by political, rather than parliamentary considerations." Boodle, bluster, bluff and bully, embodied in the big four, were offensively triumphant and sure on Saturday. They are aot qtaito so sure to day.

Time and the hour that runs through ,1.. A nr tina u. li IUV IVUgUVfc MJ Mil? I.UUfO 111 IU1I situation and the house leaders, instead of being united in favor of surrender, are di vided. Crisp, Catohlngs nnd some "others want i to give in without striking a blow, whllo Wil Hon.Clifton, Breckinridge, DeWitt Warner. Will jam J.

Coombs and a largo boay of conservative I tariff reformors deprecate hasteand will oppose tho adoption of tho senate bill to day. Jsst before entering the caucus Congressman Broekinrldge said to tho correspondent of the Eagle: "Congressman Wilson and myself spent a larjre part ot last night in looking into the i lair governing legislative conferences, and wo come to the conclusion that (he senato, even 1 ir it bad instructed its conferrees to dis acree, has no right to claim the papers until there is a joint agroement. So that even if Senator Hill's resolution was adopted I we need not be In any hurry te swallow tho senate amendments. I hope we will not do I congress in caucus ossomwea, having learned from tho eonterreee on the part of the house on the tariff bill tbat, in their opinions, an agreement with tha senate conferrees Is how Impossible, this caucus desires to put on rocord it unqualified approval of the great struggle our con forroes have made for the adoption of tbo house bill or some Kindred measure, and to assure (Jiem of our hoarty approval of then actions in tho premises." This was adoptod with a shout of approval and the caucus adjourned. Immeaiatoly after the adjournment of the caucus tho house conferrees wont into session in the room of the committee on ways' aud means.

Mr. Breckinridge of Arkansas, who has been advising with the conferrees, says that another meeting with the will not be necessary and that the' house conferrees can bring in a report receding from the disagreement to tho senate amendments and concurring them, which will pass tho bill. The committee on ruies has not yet prepared a speoial order for carrying out tho enucus programme, but no doubt will do so as soon as the conforrees are ready to report. It is the intention of i tho.Democratio managers of the house to finish up everything today. Th.

committee on rules will presont a speclnl order to carry out the mandate cf the caueus. The intention is to pass tho tariff bill and then will follow the other bills named in the caucus resolution. These bills have all been prepared and, though not reported from the ways and means committee or In any regu lar orur, tue3e preliminaries can Be dispensed with under a special order from tho committee on rules. Speakor Crisp and Representative Catiehlngs went Into session shortly after the bouse mot and messengers were seat in every dlreotion for Representative Outhwaite, the other Democratic mumbor of the rules committee, as his vote will be necessary to carry out the programme. Representative Reed and Burrows, tho Republican moiibers of the committ.e, have not yet been called in and will not be uotil the Democrat la programme is roady to present.

Representative Outhwaite, the absent Democratic member of the rules committee, Is at Cresson Springs and has born telegraphed for by his colleagues. It is' said that he cannot roach Washington until 5 o'clock this afternoon. The Republican members of tie rules committee were called in at 12:30. It is possible that they will waive the absence of Mr. Outhwaite and consider him paired on all questions coming before the committee.

This will not bo done unless they can secure reasonable time for debate. Tbo absonce of Mr. Outhwaite will probably postpone a dealslve vote on any of the propositions until to morrow. Amontr those who voted against the resolution were the Louisiana members, Warner ot New Yorn. Straus of York, Tracey of New York, Tarsney of Missonri, Cockran of New York, Covert of New York, of New York.

Cooper of Indiana. Johnson of Ohio, of Texas. The Maryland delegeation, Bayaor, MoKnig. Rusk and Talbott. Breckinridge, of Arkansas, a member of the ways and means committee; Williams, of Mississippi, also voted against the Crisp resolution.

Most of those who voted against the first part of the ros.lutlon voted, ior. the second part. Tlie of Ibo SSotiiu Washington, D. 0., Au'eust Whea th. house met five minutes after the Dem.eratio caucus adj.urned there were moro members on the floor than at any time since the tariff bill was passed.

Tho anxious publie who. thrbng.d the oor ridors before the doors were thrown open orowded into the galleries in anticipation of the final scene in tho long tariff battle. Immediately after th reading of the Journal Mr. Snyers, chairman of the appropriation oomm It tee, offered a resolution providing for the continuation of the expenses of th. government until August 24, 1894.

Alter a brief explanation tho resolution was adoptod without division. Tbe greatest confusion existed on tho floor. Members were standing aboat In exalted groups discussing the situation, the general understanding being that resolutions to agree to tbe senate amendments and probaply to consider th. bills for free ooal, iron, sugar and barbed wire would be brought in this afternoon. Under the rules Mr.

Heard, chairman the committee on the Distriot of Columbia, pending aotion by the committee an rules, elaimod tho day for the consideration, ot business ro ported from the committee on the Distriet of Columbia. Tbe committee on rules had only a short session. Tho Republicans listened to. the terms proposed by the Democratic members and refused to accept them. Th Democrats proposed allowing an hour for debate upon aoenpt ing tho senate amendment and fifteen minutes on each of tho other Dills, which it is proposed to bring in as two separate measures and to allow no amendments to b.

offered to the bills. The Republicans are using the absonce of Mr. Outbwelte to secure terms. They ask for five hours bobate on the tariff bill and want more time nnd also opportunity for amondment on the other puis. 1I matter restB in that condition and it Is possible that attempts at a compromise will be made during the afternoon.

The news that th. house caucus had decided to accopt senate amendments to the tariff bill was received at tho senate end of the oapltol boforo the senate convened. The announcement caused a leeliug of relief, which woe visible throughout the chamber. Th. Democrats, dignified and elderly, as most of them are, wore quite hilarious over the result.

The Democratic senate conforrees wore among those who received the news with the least demonstration, but they ware, none the less pleused with tho result. They acted like men who had just come saf.ly through an important crisis nnd who had been too recently delivered from it to throw off all responsibility and join In the reioiolng. so general nmonsz their colleagues. The Itopublicun senators did not, of cource, join in the hilarity, but they uetimod relieved that tho end of the suspense had been reached, and at the prospect of on ling the long and weary fight, notwithstanding tbo result had been against them. They wore, of course, dlsuppoiated over' the prospect of having the MoKlaley law supplanted, nut they had folly realized that the present congross meant to pass a tariff bill, and they preferred the senate bill to any othor which thoy considered it possiblo to pass.

Thoy looted upon it as indefinitely more desirable than tne house bill. Henoe their disappointment was not unmixed with gratification. One of the notable occurrences on.th. floor of tho senate was the manner in whioh Senator Gorman was received. When ho appeared In the stmato chamber the Republican senators, as if by general consent, crossed over to his seat and shook bands with him and congratulated him upon tbe result of bis efforts.

The Democratic senate oonferrees were also the subjects of congratulation. A mMi From Chairman Wilson. Chairman Wilson, author of the Wilson bill, prepared for the Associated Pross, at the close of the caueus to day, a statement of his vl.ws on the tariff situation. Tho stotem.nt is in Mr. Wilson's handwriting and gives succinctly his position on tho action of the house In accepting the tariff bill.

It is as "I cannot see whr. wo lulled to do anything we eould do to bring about a bettur result. Whou 1 hnv.i done tbe best according to my capacity and judgment I must fall buck on the consciousness of my duty done. The difficulty which the country mast recognize is, that on the tarilt we did not have a Democratic senato, and whatever has been gained has been wrested from a protection boay.

He is Indignant that such aotion. 1 .1 t.

1 I i i buuuiu ue taK.eu ai. cms time, ana rignt here I wish to say that if Mr. Crisp and the gentlemen who nre with him have made their arrangement t. have him this week, as I hear 'they have, thoy hud better unpack their trunks, fori should certainly oppose such bill, and believe that the Republicans in the Senate would talk It to death. The hosso need not try to make tbe.

people believe that it is possible to pass separate bills, placing surar. conl and iron on the free list To suggest suoh a thing is baby politics and unworthy of men. The house oaucus ought to declare l.r froe coal and iron; let them say tht.t sugar and the other Minor questions are matters of rates but that in iron and coal a matter of principle is involved and they must be freo. Sueh a bill I believe would pass the Senator lUauchard told the house conferrees latt night that ho believed a bill with free conl ami iron could pass the senate. Just before la o'clock the Democratic canons, by a standing vote, decided to ace.pt the senate bill In toto, without the dotting of an i or the crossing of a t.

The vote was token amid a scene of the wildest excitement. The members acted as if they were crazy. They were stampeded, demoralized and incapable of reason or rotional action. Despite the efforts of Chairman Wilson.Congressmen Breokinridge, Coombs, Cochrane nnd the other conservatives the opposition was silenced. The Louisiana members, who tried to obtain the floor and ask for a bounty, were howled down.

The Brooklyn delegation ot which only two members were present Coombs and Hendrlx was divided. Congressman Coombs voted against accepting the sennte bill. Congressman Hendrlx dodged and did not vote at all. The following members voted with the minority: Turner, C. Breckinridge, Tarsney, Cochran, Dunphy, Strauss, Cummings, Warner, Bartlett, Tracey, Coombs, MoKaigb, Johnson, Covert, Everett, Dunn, Cooper, Clarke, Drvey.

Meyer and. Price. Congressman Breckinridge, after the vole, said to the Eagle correspondent: "The house is completely demoralized. As I sail to vpu early in the day there is no reason for this preoipitate action; it wa3 undignified and uncalled for. Hill's resolution might have been defeated and we might have got a better bill.

Now wo are irretrievably committed to this undemocratic senate bill." Congressman Cochran informed the eorro spondent of tho Eagle that ho would not he bound to the caucus, and should vote against the bill. Other members will do the same thing, but the bill will probably be passed before the house adjourns to night. The caucutt was called to order by Chairman Holman. The house was crowded with Democratic members. All Democratic members la, the city being present.

Mr. Wilson inado a statement from the conference committee, in which he demonstrated th. fact that they bad virtually oonse to an agreement on sugar and also on free iron, leaving ooal on the reciprocal list. In his statement Mr. Wilson said that they had progressed in nn amicable manner on the other schedules and that the house conferrees assured the senate conferrees that In everything where the honor ot thosenate was at stake they would not ask lor reductions.

The senate conferrees then changed their taotics anil suggested that free coal and iron be abandoned as well as all other amendments and free sugar be substituted. They were asked by the house conferrees if they could pass such a bill through the senate and they replied they would see it afterward de veloped that if it was brought back to the senate, changed in that particular respect It would sorvo to defeat the bill and that any nmeudmont of whatever nature would be de feated. Speakor'Crisp tben took the floor nnd stated tho parliamentary situation of the bill, and said he was one of those who believed in holding out ior better terms than those offered by the senate bill, but that he had come to the con clBsion that the time had arrived whon it must be admitted by proof which could not be srain snid that any attemp to alter the senate bill would serve te utterly defeat tariff legislation, or the postponement until December. He tben offered the resolution recommending that the houso recede from the disagreement of the senate and that immediately separate ouis presented to tne aouso as I9110WS: An effort was made by tbe members to secure the floor, and earnest appeal were made by them against suoh legislation as a tariff bill that contained no bounty, and was unjust to Louisiana. Their appeals wure by cries of "Vote, vote." Congressman Tracey of New York demanded the yeas and nays, but the motion was Ue i Mr.

Wilson again secured the floor and statod that it would suit his ideas of proprloty If the house would not aot toe quickly, as he certainly thought nothing would be lost bv a little delay. As It was drawing near the time for the regular convening ot the house, strenuous efforts were made by the New York and Louisiana men bus to secure an yea and nay vote, for tne time consumed in taking it would not admit of the caucus continuing at that time. A standing vote was taken and the motion of Speakor Crisp to roc.de from the disagreement of senate amendments was carried, there being only 23 votes in the negative. Congressman Coombs and ether conservative members place great hopes in Speaker Crisp's statement that he would hold congress In sos eion until free sugar, ooal and iron bills are passed. Senator Hill, however, tells the Eagle cerrespoodont that, in his opinion, it will be impossible to get these "pop gun" bills through the senate.

Congressman Breckinridge also said he didn't think thdsu bills could pass the senate. Sena tsr Hill, when asked by the Eagle correspondent whether he would unite with tho ltepubli cans in making any flgkt against the techni calities in the bill, said: "I will not. It would bo a wasted of time and there is no reason why I should." Senator Villas is' deeply dis turbed at rhe action of the bouse. He said to tho Eagle correspondent: "Tbe senate bill, I as far as manufactured goods are concerned, is fully as prohibitive ns the McKinley bill. Tho slight decrease It makes in the rates will not cut any figure" On aocount of the absonte of Congressman Oatbwait, who is on his way here irons Cres ceiit Springs, th.

ltepublicans refused to permit the Democrats to carry out thir pro gramme nnd voto on tho tariff bill to day. and after some little disoueslon tbe house adjourned. The slate for th. time being is broken. The Ijlmtted and Jtorth Shore Limited, 2ir York Central, consolidated, leaves NowYorit 4:30 P.
