>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.”

Washington, June 8.—At noon the

Chinese Soldiers Are Loath to Meet
Kebels In Rattle.
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.
When the amendment was considered
Friction Between British C'ominaniler-
lii»<iiiof ninl Lord Lansdownc—Kru

liners to Push War lo Hiller Knd.
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

Shanghai, June 7.—Alarming reports
are current here of the hurried comple
tion of the mobilization of the Japanese
fleet.
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.
BOERS ARE NOT CONQUERED
Fischer Says War Is Not Over—Hard
Fighting Predieted.
LaCkosse, Wis., June 8.—The party
of Boer envoys passed through this city
enroute for St. Paul, stopping here 20
minutes. 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.
Many were killed on both sides.
Uus-du’s A-slstancc Refused.
Shanghai, June 7.—The Russian min
ister at Peking, M. DeBoers, made an
other attempt to induce the Chinese for
eign officials to request Russian assist

has not been accepted. The mobs have

Newcastle, June 8.—Great nlimbers
of the enemy stiff occupy Majuba hill,

fur east as Englebrosh pass. On the
Bullasbcrg the positions they hold are
f , , particularly strong. Generals Christian,

of a safe retreat into the almost inacces
sible mountains of the Murchison range.
Their task to prevent Buffer’s entry into
asked for a reconsideration, and after
two hours of debate, the amendment |
was pass"d. The house, however, re- |
fused to accept the action of the senate 1
on .is item, and the amendment was
defeated in conference.
.Senator Tillman, anticipating this ac
tion, had previously introduced a biff in
the senate providing for a settlement of j
those claims against the government. |
He called it up, and after debate, the
biff was passed by the senate.
