CONFEREES Si'/E ' PRACTICALLY AGREED Differences on Naval Bill Will Be Settled. ASK FOR ANOTHER SESSION After a lieii"lliy Session If Was l)p< elileil to Keport a Disagreement. >1 c. < liaMiller’s Kesolul ion < Joes Over. l.lfHit Attenilanee in House. Washington, June 8 —The eonfomvi on the naval appropriation hill have again doeiiio l to rejiort a disagreeiin if after a session of two hours. Thu con ferees express confidence, however, of being able to conclude the controversy if another meeting is ordered. The c.iii- fereneo developed the fact that the rep resentative-; of both houses were willing to make neutral concessions and in real ity an agreement was practically reached, though it was decided first to report a disagreement to both houses in Order to test the feeling. The agreement eliminates all inland and coast work, confines the survey to the ocean and reduces the $100,01)6 ap propriated by the senate to $.j0,()00. The amendment thus agreed upon will read as follows: Ocean survey, including the waters of Cuba and the Philippine archipelago, but not the coast thereof, and for the purchase of nautical books, charts and sailing, and for the charges for same, $j),();k). Tliis is a compromise in all respects. The original provision in the house bill was for ocean surveys onlyimd it appro priated $100,000. 'I'lu* settlement is said to be satisfactory to the superintendent of the geodetic furvey. TO REDUCE THE REVENUES. Ways and Means Committee Autlior- l/.ed to Frame Hill. Washington, June 8. — Chairman Payne of the ways and means cotnmil- tei was authorized by a recent action of the house to hold meetings of that com mittee during the recess of congress with a view to prejihriug a bill for the reduction of the revenue in the course deemed most desirable. Mr. Payne says it it not his purpose to call the committee together until fall, probably a few weeks before congress reassembles, as by that time it will be determined how far the surplus is main tained and about how much in the ag gregate a revenue reduction is war ranted. Extended hearings have al ready been had mid the chairman also has received a number of briefs covering the chief lines of reduction. There will be no extended reopenings of the hear ings, although the committee may con clude to ask for further information on some lines. Cliandler’s Resolution Hoes Over. Washington, June 8.—An ineffectual attempt was made by Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire to obtain consideration for his resolution instructing the com mittee on privilges and elections to in quire into the constitutionality of the electoral laws of certain states. Mr. Berry of Arkansas and Mr. Pettus of Alabama simultaneously objected. DRUNK FATHER SHOOTS SON Walter Keaton Is Probably Fatally Wounded by His Parent. Albany, (la., June 8.—Walter Kea ton, a young man of this city, 1!) years of age, was shot and perhaps fatally wounded by his father, J. K. P. Keaton. The Keatons, father and son, lived to gether in a cottage near the western suburbs of the city. Walter Keaton was lounging, with several compauious, on the porch of a neighbor’s house, only a few feet from the Keaton cottage. The young men were making a good deal of noise, which exasperated the elder Keaton, who went to his door and demanded that the racket cease. The young men continued to talk and laugh, however, whereupon the elder Keaton went into the house and returned with his pistol. Walter Kenton’s companions fled, but he remained where he was, remarking that he did not fear his father’s wrath. The elder Keaton fired, nevertheless, the ballet striking Walter in the left side just above the hip and ranging upward. The wound is a very serious one, but may not prove fatal. J. K. P. Keaton, who was drinking, is now in jail, and says lie was attempt ing to teach Walter “who his daddy was.” TROOPS FEAR THE BOXERS. 80ERS CONCENTRATE EAST OF PRETORIA Force Under Botha Preparing to Give Battle.

London, June 8.—Telegraphing from Tien Tsin a correspondent says: “I left Tien Tsin enroute for Peking, i accompanied by General Nieh, supposed j to he one of the best of the Chinese gen- | eruls, with (io troops. We proceeded to i L-ifa, a distance of fit miles. Wo found J a plate layer’s cabin in flames and tele- | graph jmties cut and men engaged in de- j stroying others in the village near the, railway where flags were seen bearing i the inscription “Kill all the foreigners.” | I saw smoke, evidently from burning | houses, in the distance, but General | Noih refused to proceed further, being j in mortal fear of the Boxers, though the foreigners endeavored to persuade him to disentrain the troops, who are firmly convinced that it is useless to fight the Boxers, as other Chinese say they have seen Boxers hit with bullets rise and run away". “There seems to be little prospect of a resumption of traffic to Peking unless the foreign powers assume control of the railway until the Chinese government proves itself capable of managing com munication with its capital.” SOUTH CAROLINA'S CLAIMS. Tillman’s Hill For Their Duyiucnt Passes flic Senate. Washington, June 8.—Senator Till man lias had a hard light all along the line in his efforts to get an adjustment of the claims of the state against the United States for money expended by the state during the war of 1812 and the Florida war of is;{(i. Strong opixisitiou was manifested in the committee on ap- prupriations to the amendment offered by the senator to the sundry civil bill, but he finally succeeded in having the amendment reported by the committee.

London, June 8.—In the absence of anything from British sources enlight- | cniug the Boers' stutenu nt that General j Buffer requested a three days’ armistice, i the military experts here are inclined to j believe a revision of the story will show i that General Buffer summoned the Boers 1 to surrender or evacuate their positions i within three days, failing which he will ft tack them. According to a dispatch from Lorenzo Marquez the Boers, under General Botha, are again concentrating in the noighbornood of Hatherly, 12 miles east of Pretoria. From the same source it is reported that the British prisoners are being re- iimvod to Nooitgedacht, an unhealthy sj) it in the Elands valley.

Shanghai, June 7.—In consequence of the representations of the Japanese, the landing of a large Russian force at Taku is alleged to have been stopped. men arrived there June 5, and 700 reached the place on June <>. These probably constitute the portion of the prisoners which Lord Roberts reported had been shifted from Waterval. The strained relations between the j secretary of state for war, tin of Laiisdowne, and the British com- ' mander-in-chief of forces. Lord Wolse- ' ley, appear to have reached such a pitch ; that but for the exigencies of the situa- j tion Lord Wolsoley would have resigned. It seems that Lord Lansdowne attempted j to usurp some of the authority always 1 heretofore wielded by the cominander- i in-chief, and the latter is now said to | have laid the whole matter before Lord ; Salisbury.

The party was joined here by Theodore Kock of the St. Paul reception committee. Mr. Fischer said: “We have received more encourage ment from American people than we ex pected, and we have expected a great deal, too. There is nothing dishearten ing in the situation in South Africa. Simply because Pretoria has been taken Is no sign that the war will end soon. We are not conquered yet by any means, ami the English can expect a hard fight yet.” Shanghai, June 7.—The soldiers dis patched to attack the Boxers have fought an engagement quite close to Peking.
