11' the Resolution Ordering a Report ls
Ilarrled Today, There Is a Prospect That
Attempts at Tariff legislation Will End.
No Sugar Bounty Means Defeat of the Bill.
Wasutsoron, Aug. il.-—A crisis in the
tariff aflairs has boon reached both in
the open scouts and in the secret councils
of the Democratic tariff conference.
When the conference closed last: night,
it was with the understanding that the
meetings would be suspended for the pres.
out. No time was set for roassombliug
the conference today or hereafter, and it
was felt that no further sessions might be
necessary in case the senate acted favora-
bly today on Senator Hill's resolution di-
recting the senate conferoes no report the
situation of affairs.
What was of most importance was the
feeling expressed by the house oonfcrees at
the close of the conference that in case the
llill resolution passed—and they believed
it would—tho conference would practical-
ly be relieved of its work, and it Would ro-
main only for the house to accept the sen-
ate bill as a lesser evil, as they believe,
than the McKinley law.
These conclusions were reached after a
day of intense excitement among the tar-
iff leaders.
The day opened with the senate propo-
sition 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 therefore requested the
senate ocnfcrecs to furnish a poll of the
senate showing that if the proposition was
accepted it would be adopted by the son-
ate and the bill passed.
A l’oll Showed Defeat.
The poll was considered as soon as the
oonfcrccs convened. It disclosed that in
the event of acourptance of the‘frec sugar
amendment the bill as a whole would be
voted against by 88 Republicans and by
Senators Kyle, Allan and Peder, Popu-
lists, and Caflery and Blanchard, llemo~
crate, a total of 43 votes, or sufficient to
defeat the bill. This poll was made on
the best judgment of the senate confcrecs.
The house than accepted it as showing
conclusively that the tender of the free
sugar amendment, while made in good
faith by the senate oonferees, was ameans
adopted by :he conservative senators for
the purpose of defeating tariff legislation
and leaving the McKinley law in force.
They discussed the situation from this
standpoint, the arguments not lacking
very pointed and [nvrsoual criticism of the
motives of those who had offered free sug-
ar and free coal as well, knowing, as they
assertul, that they would defeat the bill.
The discussion brought out for the first
time the statement that. the defensive a1-
liance between certain senators proceeded
farther than mutual cooperation and un-
dorstanding and was now reducd to a sign-
ed agreement.
While members of tho conference did
not claim to have seen the agreement, they
stated as it fact; that Senators Kyle, Allen,
l’efior. Blanchard and Gallery had reduced
their understanding to black and white
and had signed it to the effect that they
would vote against any bill which did
not contain a bounty clause for sugar.
As free sugar Would eliminate the boun-
ty provision, the signed agreement was
regarded as showing that the five goua-
tors, mnihined with the Republicans,
would defeat the bill.
It. was while animated comments were
being made in the foregoing conditions
that. word reached the conference of Sena
tor Iiill's coup d'etat in the open senate.
The conference hastily adjourned, the
senators going on the floor to take part in
the debate. Mr. Wilson was not disposed
to attach much weight to Senator Hill's
move at the outset and said that it would
be futile, as the senate could not not while
the bill was conference. This feeling was
shared to a large extent in the day by
house leaders, who characterized it as one
of the “bluffs" which had been made of
late to dcmorulizc the house cctdorees and
force them to yield.
Tim (‘tmf'orstm'o Disintegratetl.
latter in the day, however, this feeling
gave way to one of profound concern over
the situation and the future of the bill.
At Ll o'clock the conference, or a rotor
nant of it, rig in assembled, with the Hill
rcawlution an the exciting debate thereon
as the main topic among them. All of
the house men were present, but Senator
Jones was the only senate conforco in at-
tendance for any length of time. and it.
was said that Senator \‘ost felt indiuposmi
to confer pouding the Hill resolution.
Little or no attempt was made to take
up items or schedules, the talk being on
the sensational gcnorai phases just devol‘
oped, and no progress was made up to 0
o'clock. when the conference separated
without fixing a time for mossombling.
The house conforms no lougordisguiscd
the deep concern they fall. over the future
of the hill. They had made a rough catio-
motc of the vote on the Hill noolution,
and they felt it would pass today. Under
these circumstances they said nothing
could be done until the resolution was dis-
posed of. if. through some hopeful turn,
it was defeated, they said, it would leave
the conference to proceed, and the contest
Would be carried on for the Wilson bill.
if, however, it was passed, it would prac-
tically discontinue the conference.
in that event the house than stated with
satisfaction that they would still be able
to avert the ooniplcto defeat of all tariff
legislation by having the house ogmo to
They spoke of this as
showing that while the situation Was bad
it did not ncruntsaril,‘t mean the defeat of
all tariff legislation.
The senate confcroos also regard the sit.
nation as vory serious, and they separated
from their house colleagues in no amiable
frame of mind. -

it would appear that Senator Gallery
had been called into the conference dur-
ing the afternoon by the house members.
and that the conforms on the part of the
senate accepted this act on the part of the
house costumes and others which they did
not specify as a reflection upon the senate
confesses. it was impossible to obtain the
consent of any senate member of the con-
fsrencc to the use ofnis name, but one of
them who has been very prominent in the
conference declared in a consul hitters»

had told the house ouuforees‘ that“ would
be unsafe at the present stage of the bill
to make any official report upon it, as any
report might in the present; temper of the
floats be fatal to the bill. ‘
Theparliamentsrians buried themselves
with tho house rules to see what remedy
the house would have in case the Hill resr
olutlon passed. The prevailing opinion
was that the house could pass the senate
hill at any time. This was the view taken
by the waferses. Others insisted that the
in conferenho, and that if the senate took
‘any radical stop, such as laying the bill
on the table or indefinitely postponing
consideration, it would not be within the
power of the house to pass the senate bill
and thus consummate tariff legislation.
In case the senate conforoas are recalled
the house conferccs say they will hold the
bill and wait for the senate to send them
other confcrees. if the senate docs not do
so, the house conferces will of necessity
report the"facts, the bill and the papers
back to the house for such action as it
may desire to take.
Hill Stirs Up the senate.
Wasutnorox, Aug. ll.—It was the first
day in the senate since the tariff bill was
sent a second time to conference that there
was any unusual interest in the proceed.
lugs. Senator Hill, who has been the corn
tral figure in several dramatic sccncs dur-
ing the tariff debate, was again in the von
of the fray. ills resolution directing the
tariff oonferecs to report the difficulties
and cause of the failure to agree was a
sensation.
It was almost adopted before the sonav
tors realized its importance. The con-
feroos were aware of it and were willing
it should be adopted. By parliamentary
tactics a vote was prevented on the resolu-
tion either as presented by Senator Hill
or in the form urged by Senator Aldrich.
Enough was developed, however, to show
the temper of the senate ocnfurecs. Son-
ator 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 conforces on the port of the
senate."
Senator Harris was willing that the cou-
forces should have an airing, but wanted
it done in a strictly parliamentary way.
Senators Vilas, Gray, Pasco and others
desired that action be postponed.
The conservative senators Were anxious
that the con forces should tell all, and upon
this point they for a time followed the
lead of Mr. Hill. By skillful management
those who did not want a rupture at onoc
prevented the impending conflict. At 8
o‘clock the resolution 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 orderto
keep the resolution before the senate.
'i‘he reniaindor of the session was de
voted to the consideration of the Chinese
treaty. The senate adjournod until today.
although the portcemnkers endeavored to
have no session until Monday. The pros-
pects are that today will be a lively day.
Senator Hill's Position.
in explanation of his course Senator
Hill said:
"lily object in offering the
was to expedite the disposition of tar
iff measure. Every day‘s delay is -injuri-
cue to the business interests of the coun-
try, and the bill should be disposed of at
once one way or the other, It has now
been under consideration in conference
coulmltteo for over a month. and further
delay is absolutely inexcusable.
“The oonforocs ought to know each
others' minds by this time, and if they
cannot agree the fact of such disagrm-
meat should be rcpo‘rtod to the two houses,
when, if no understanding can be reached
upon a hill, congress should promptly ad~
journ and give the country a rest. We
have now berm in session for nearly a
whole your and have had ample uppmtu-
nity to legislate. A senator or member
who does not know exactly what he wants
to do on the tariff question after all this
time spent. in useless deliberation is unfit
to represent any constituency.
“We havodcllbcrated enough. We want.

out of the hands of their conference oom-
mittocs and proceed to vote at once upon
the disagreeing provisions, and if no agree.
mont can be reached lot. the whole matter
go over until the next session, and lot cou-
gwas adjourn to give the business inter-
ests of the country a chance to recuperate
from the present depression.
“Congress must arouse from its lethar~
gy and should act in accordance with pub-
lic sentiment and not in defiance of it.
Either pose a tariff bill at once or adjourn
and go home. These are my sentiments,
and I believe they are tho sentiments of
nine-tenths of the people of both parties."
In the llolloe.
The house devoted itself to discussing
projects for a government exhibit to cost

LlNCOLN, Nah, Aug. il.—-The frightful
mass of debris occupying the ravine Where
the Rock Island express was wrecked and
burned a few miles south of this city had
cooled sufficiently this morning to enable
the big crowd gathered at the place in the
hope of learning something of the fate of
their friends or relatives to inspect. the
charred ttniss in daylight, but any hope
they may have entertained of scouring
from-tho great ash pile any information
as to theldentity of those who lost their
lives in the holocaust was soon blasted.
The tons of water thrown on the twist-
ed relics of the train and bed of embers
had been insufficient to prevent every
vestigc of combustible material being do
strayed. Occasionally a charred skull or
a partially burned human bone was raked
from the bed of the furnace, but nothing
that remained to tell the tale of those who
went down with the ill fated train, and
time was required to determine just how
many pcrscns'wsre lost in the wreck.

Illuils was found in the wreck, and al-
though fuarfuliy burned and merely a
mass of flesh it. was recognized by papers
which escaped entimdcstruction. He was
a prominent Iowa physician.
From the confused tangle of conflicting
stories told by excited eyewitnesses it has
been dcflulfoly ascertained that one man
met his death in the flames. The low
moaning which bud inn-n heard in the
ruins of tho smoker had ceased before the
flames were reached. and the presumption
in that all its unfortutmtu occupants were
dead.
Ono victim, whose natuo will never be
known, lay under the tender. the upper
edge of which lay across his thighs, crush-
ing them into the gravel. As (‘oloncl
Bills approached he begged piteously to be
released and saved from the flames. Colo-
nel llills is a hum of nerve and decision,
but he was confronted hya terrible alter-
native. To move the tender was an utter
impossibility, and the long tongues of
hungry fltuucs were reaching out. grcodily
for their victims.
For an instant. he thought that only one,
of the man's legs was pinned down, and
he thought about amputating it. Then
he saw both wuro fast. and while he hosi-
tatod helplessly for an instant a gust of
wind drove the flames and smoke upon
him, blistering his face and scorching his
clothes. llefcro he could recover himself
the ion g fiery tongues had wrapped them-
solves almnt the body and head of their
terrified victim and chilled his screams.
As the Rock Island offers a reward of
81,000 for the apprehension of the wreck
era, the county and state will be asked to
add to the reward.
There are theories as to the wrecking
of the train, It being conceded that the
train was ilt'i’itlifld by the removal of the
rails for almnt z'iiiyards across the trestle.
There is eufllcheut evidence to prove this.
A fishpluto and the bar which goes with
it were \t'rcnchml loose and were found
near the trestle after the wreck occurred.
Who Were the Miser-canto?
(loo theory is that strikers from South
Omaha did the work. believing that a
company of slate troops, who were to
have inmrdcd the train at. li‘airlmry, \vcro
aboard. The company missed connection,
however. This is not us greatly credited

are known to have left a north bound
freight near the bridge late Thursday
afternoon and took a south bound train
later in the evening, the lost to pass safely
over the structure being the one they
boarded. Detectives are looking for them.
llarry Footv. the injured brakcmnn, is
the one who «likeness the theory that the
train was maliciously wrecked. Accord-
ing to his story, a railwoa laid on the
bridge, and thc flshplaios and crowbar
were found in the gross near by. The
evidences were plainly there and unmis-
takable. Marks made by a wrench on a
loosened rail worn plainly visible, and the
marks of the orcwbar on tho crosstica

was deeply dented where the crowbar has)
