Proceeding* « f Congress.
Washington, Aug. 6.—The tariff
conferrees began work Saturday with
the sugar schedule, first to be talked
over. It is claimed the senate confer-
rees pointed out a new difficulty which
the schedule was liable to meet when
the bill was returned to the senate. It
was asserted that with the new schedule
the bill would not receive tho votes of
Senators Caffery and Blanchard of
Louisiana (because no bounty for this
year's crop is provided for) or Allen
and Kyle, Populists, and these four
votes, with that of Senator Hill, would
defeat the bill.
The house members say that the Lou-
isiana men cannot afford to vote against
the bill, favorable to the sugar interests,
as the new schedule provides, simply
because no provision for a bounty on
this year's crop is included, as congress
would certainly pass a free sugar bill
before adjournment.
There was a hurried senatorial confer-
ence Saturday participated in by Sena-
tors Gorman, Smith and Jones. Pre-
vious to tils'! tho Louisiana senators had
nia>lo a vicious protest against the pro-
posed sugar schedule which did not pro-
vide for a bounty on product by the
year.
The conference was called after the
tariff conferrees had been in session for
some time and when the reports had
been in circulation that another hitch
had arisen over the sugar schedule.
There have been some very stormy pro-
tests from members of the house against
it, and some assertions have been made
to the effect that it could not psss. The
senatorial conference today was sup-
posed to have been held to ascertain if
some arrangement of the schedule could
not be proposed which would meet with
more favor.
Shortly alter the conference of these
senators was over it was stated by one.
who knew what had taken place, that
the sugar schedule would be fixed up
soon and agreed to on the lines suggested
yesterday and the main tight between
the conferrees then would be on coal and
iron ore.
When a short recess was taken the
house conferrees said no agreement had
been reached on the three main items,
sugar, iron ore or coal. Some of the con-
ferrees said it mght take three or four
days more to bring the members to-
gether.
Dolpli Found Error*,
Washington, Aug. —Senator Dolph,
who Friday submitted the conference
report on the river and harbor bill,
today asked leave to withdraw the re-
port and send the bill back to conference
to correct some technical errors which
was agreed to.
The Senate,
Washington. Aug. 3.—The last of
the appropriations, the deficiency, was
passed by the senate after it had been
under discussion nearly the entire day.
The bills for the admission of New
Mexico and Arizona to statehood were
reported to the senate and placed on the
calendar.
The house bill for the protection of
persons furnishing materials and labor
for the construction of public works
was passed.
A prolonged discussion was brought
out by an amendment proposed by Mr
Call, to pay naval officers andsailors, or
their heirs, the difference between their
sea pay and shore pay for the time they
served on vessels which never went to
sea from 1880 to 1865.
Three such claims had been allowed
by tho court of claims when congress
invoked the statute of limitations and
barred all future claims more than six
years.
After considerable discussion the bill
was passed and the report of the confer-
ence on the river and harbor bill was
submitted, but was not acted on.
A short executive session was held
and at 0:"0 the senate adjourned.
Attachment Issued For General Taraney.
Colorado Springs, Aug. 0.—Several
days ago a snbeena was issued for
Adjutant General T. J. Tarsney to ap-
pear before the grand jury here to tell
what he knew about the tar and feather
episode. Thus far he has ignored th
•summons. An attachment has been is-
sued. and proper officers are after him.
An Fmbe/.zler Sentenced.
Dknveh, Ang. 0.- William C. Garvin,
collection clerk of tho Carbonate Na-
tional bank of Leadville, who pleaded
guilty of embezzling $2800, was sen-
tenced by Judge Hallett, in the United
States district court to five years' im-
prisonment in th* penitentiary at Joliet,

A DEADLY RIFLE.
Wonderlnl Magu/in<' 4>un Invented by
an Iowa Doctor.
Washington, la., Aug. 6.—It is ex-
pected t\at this town is soon to become
famous Vcause of an invention of Dr.
S. N. M clean's, which is none other
than a ino.it deadly infantry arm—the
most deadly weapon of the kind ever
manufactured, as now believed,
i Dr. McClean has been working in his
| little den in this place for three years on
this thing of death, and. having per-
fected it, has secured five patents npon
the arm in the United States and a pat-
ent each in England, France, Germany
and < annda. The gun is a wonder.
Under the barrel is a magazine that
opens oil hinges, into which a whole box
of cartridges is dropped. The magazine
is then closed. With one grip of the
hand five things are accomplished, with
almost lightninglike rapidity, viz.! 1, a
cartridge is drawn back: 8, placed in
the barrel: I), fired; 4, shell is tossed
out: 5. another cartridge is seized. The
work is accomplished as rapidly as tho
gunner can open and clasp his hand.
This magazine rifle fires six shots a sec-
ond, and no other arm save the Gntling
gun has its speed of action.
This gun has one motion, while to
most other crack rifles there must be
four or five motions of the hand. The
cartridge carrier is controlled by cams
and acts wonderfully like tho human
hand. The pair of shell extractors work
on a plan wholly different from the
usual mode and are controlled by con-
verging cams. It fires 10 balls to one by
any other gun. A rifle ball goes 1000
feet a second. Firing six a second, the
balls travel HOC feet apart. Let it be
supposed that there are men in a fortifi-
cation armed with these magazine rifles.
The «neiny forms a mile away for a
charge. It would take the enemy IS
minutes to come up. In that time each
man in the earthworks has sent from
8000 to 5000 bullets at them. It amounts
to practical annihilation. The gunner
does not remove his eye from the sight
in the grip of the hand that fires the
piece, nor does the hand action shake the
gun.
Dr. McClean has had an opportunity
to dispose of his wonderful rifle to Ger-
many. but declined the offer. Hs will
soon take the gun to General Miles, at
Chicago, for inspection, and from there
will go on to Washington to exhibit it to
the military authorities. The doctor
will construct several models, one each
adap ed to the English, French and Ger-
man cartridges, and he will visit those
countries in order to show what his
weapon will do. He will enter the con-
test in August at Newport for a gun to
be adopted by the United States navy.
Amputated Hi* Own Finger.
Richmond, Aug. 6.—Dr. Lewis Wheat
of Richmond has suffered greatly from
blood poison in his hand and arm,
caused by accident while performing a
surgical operation several weeks ago.
Shortly after his accident he went to Es-
sex, and while there his finger became
so bad that he saw amputation was in-
evitable, and with almost unparalleled
nerve and stoicism performed the opera-
tion himself, taking off the first joint of
the finger. Ten days ago he returned to
Richmond, and, his hand rapidly grow-
ing worse, he amputated the second joint
of his finger. When Dr. McGnire called
to see him he found him prepared for
the still more serious operation of taking
off the finger below the main joint, he
having selected the proper instruments
and cut open the hand to make the
proper examination. Dr. McGnire per-
formed tho last operation, and the dan-
ger is now thought to be passed.
A Burglar Shot.
Memphis, Aug. 6.—Jim Bonner, a
negro drayman, was shot and killed by
Dan O'Donnell. Bonner was coming
out of the house next door to where
O'Donnell lived, after having robbed it.
O'Donnell ordered him to stop, but Bon-
ner ran, and the first shot missed him.
The second struck, and after running two
blocks he fell dead. O'Donnell was ar-
rested, but released on bond. He is a
politician of considerable local reputa-
tion. This is O'Donnell'* second killing.
In 1888 he shot and killed Jack t^uinn, a
saloonkeeper, but was acquitted.
Convicted of Fraud.
Denver, Aug. fi. \V. H. Hale, form-
erly proprietor of ihe Gun Wa Medical
Agency, was convicted by a jury in the
United States district court of having
used the mails with intent to defraud.
Hale sent letters to correspondents
purporting to be from a great Chinese
physician, lie also represented his medi-
cines came from China, although they
were simply a decoction of mountain
sage made in his office. Hale was ar-
rested recently in New York, on his re-
turn from London.
Woman Aeronaut Killed.
Andeuson. Iud.. Aif,'. (i.—Miss Tillie
Sabern of Richmond, an aeronaut of
some note, made a fatal parachute leap
at the Indiana Red Men's picnic. When
about 500 feet high she jumped. The
parachute opened and then turned inside
out. She fell on a large rock bead first,
Her back was broken and her death in-
stantaneous.

Bradstreet's Review of Busi-

Iteportft Are Mure F.iicouragin|(.
New Yuiik. Aug. 0. Bradstreet's re-
view of trade for the past week says:
While little significance is attached to
the moderate improvement in trade at
San Francisco, Pittsburg, Baltimore,
Augusta and Atlanta, when it is added
that clearinghouse totals for July report
29 cities with larger aggregates than in
July last year, contrasted with the June
report, which contained only 18 cities
with aggregates larger than those in
June a year ago, it is perceived that
there are influences at work at the in-
terior favoring an increase in tile vol-
ume of business.
Wool remains steady at last week's 1
oent advance, speculation having been
stimulated by differences of opinion as
to the tariff outlook for the staple.
Wheat has advanc d in sympathy
with corn on increased reports of crop
damage from abroad, while corn's sharp
advance is due partly to exaggerated re-
ports of damage from drouth. There is
little likelihood of the corn crop being
smaller than either of the two preced-
ing years, notwithstanding mir advices
of 25 p'r cent, damage in Kansas and
40 per cent, in Nebraska. Southern
crop prospects generally are excellent.
The improvement announced in gen-
eral trade at San Francisco is in part
based on the interest manifested in the
war in Asia, provision dealers, particu-
larly anticipating largely increased
trade. War between China and Japan
has not affected the price of tea here yet,
although an increased demand is noted
at New York. Boston and Chicago.
Boston reports all lines of staple mer-
chandise very quiet, cottons selling at
concessions.
Slight increase in the demand in
nearly all leading lines are reported
from Pittsburg and Baltimore, jobbers
in dry goods, notions, hats and shoes re-
port business more encouraging.
Allied by Min, Winnie Davis.
Omaiia, Aug. (t. Miss Wyend. an in-
telligent young woman, arrived here on
Wednesday from Holdridge, where she
haB been living for the past few months.
She has been ill for a longtime and was
penniless. The holdridge citizens, not
wishing to have on their hands, bought
her a ticket to Omaha. She was in an
utterly destitute condition and excited
the sympathies of Miss Winnie Davis,
the ••Daughter of the Confederacy,"
and Mrs. J. L. Goddard. president of
the Woman's Christian association of
Providence, R. I. They met at the de-
pot the matron of the Woman's Chris-
tian association, and arranged for Miss
Wyend's stay at the home of that asso-
ciation until she recovered.

Cowi s. Wight. Aug. 6.—Geo.
Gonld's yacht Vigilant has r. d emed the
promise of her sailing master, that given
deep water and strong wind she would
defeat the Prince of Wales' Britannia.
Ihe race >.uurda\ was 5il mile,,
the prize was i mo and the race the 14ih

Britannia has won 10.
The start was in a good stiff westerly
breeze which made the waves dance and

the second- advantage was with the
Brittauia at the send off but the Vigilant
quickly overcome it an 1 was put in the
lead which she had to the finish, only
once coming near being put in second
place.
There was great excitement as the two
yachts, with ordinary topsails and me-
dium jibs and foresuils, glided graee-
fnlly along. The Warner lightship was
hidden in the fog when the yachts
passed it. Returning they came in sight
of Cowcs, about a mile from home,
with the Vigilant 5 minutes and 55

Wisconsin Treasury Case*.
Madison, Aug. 0.—Judgment was
rendered by Judge R. G. Seibecker of
tho Dane county circuit court against
ti.e Democratic state treasurers, Bates
and Kubn. for interest on state funds
retained during their terms of office,
1870 to 1878, aggregating $181,015. Tho
case differed from the cases previously
decided, in that the law which took ef-
fect in 1878 specified that the treasurer
must thereafter turn all fees and per-
quisites into the state treasury. The de-
fendants contended that this implied a
ratification of their previous acts' in
taking interest, but Judge Seibecker
holds that it has been decided that such
interest is not a perquisite, but part of
the state funds.
