SHANGHAI , Aug. 12. The Japanese squad
ron that attacked Wcl-Hat-Wel Friday , re
ports of which engagements were furnished
to the Associated press yesterday , consists
of twentysixcssels. . II Is not known defi
nitely how many of the fleet were men-of-
war. The warships drew up In line of battle
off the port and opened fire early Friday
morning. Thcro were no Chlncso warships
In the vicinity and the engagement was en
tirely between the Japanese men-of-war and
the forts. The whereabouts of the Chlncso
fleet was unknown. The forts , however ,
were able without much dlfllculty to repulse
the attack. About fifty shots wcro exchanged
tint no material damage was done on either
ulde. The soldiers manning the guns of the
fortification showed themselves to be la
mentably deficient In marksmanship. Most
of their shots were III directed , the shells
cither falling short of the vessels aimed at
or going wide of the mark.
When the fleet withdrew It proceeded to
Port Arthur , which place It attacked Friday
evening. Little It any damage Is reported
to Imvo been done at this place.
The operations are regarded as hav
ing been no attempts to capture either
Wel-IIal-Wel or I'ort Arthur , but simply
ruses on the part of the Japanese com
mander to ascertain the exact position and
iitrcngth of the Chinese guns at the two
places.
On Thursday last two small Chinese gun
boats were sighted going at full speed In the
direction of Tlen-Tsln.
LONDON , Aug. 12. The Times tomorrow

elates that only twenty-lite shots were ex
changed between the Japanese warships
nnd the forts. The report adds that one of
the Japanese ships was hit three times and

Confident Unit Having the Custody of tlio
Tariff lllll The ) dill I'll * * It lterurille
of the huimUi'M Action on tlio
Hill Resolution.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 12. This has been
anything but a day of rest for the tariff
leaders. They have been on the go from
early morning until late tonight. It has
been a day of conferences at the white house ,
at the private residences of the conferees
and at the hotels. Secretary Carlisle was
with President Cleveland throughout the
afternoon. The senate and house conferees
made no effort to get together , and they re
main as vvldo apart as when their meeting
broke up on Friday night. The house con
ferees were In consultation Informally most
of the day , though at no time were they all
together at once. Chairman Wilson spent
the day with Representative Drccklnrldgo of
Arkansas at the Normandlo hotel , and was
there called upon by the other conferees.
Mr. Wilson did not see the president today.
The meetings of the house men brought
about a thorough understanding among them
as to the line of action at the caucus to
morrow and In the subsequent proceedings
of the senate and house. They reviewed
the situation from every possible standpoint
and prepircd themselves for all emergencies.
As one of them said tonight , It was like
going over the field of bittle and learning
the topography on the night before the great
fight. At the outset the house conferees
satisfied themselves of the parliamentary
situation of the bill. They had done this
with the greatest care. Speaker Crisp had
been asked to examine with care the pre
cedents bearing on the case , and It was un
derstood ho had In turn consulted Secretary
Carlisle , who , as ex-speaker of the house
of representatives , is regarded ns ono of
the best authorities on parliamentary pro
cedure. From nn examination which had
been made , the conferees were fully satisfied
the house of representatives had the right
to pass the senate bill now or nt any time.
Tills determination went much further than
has heretofore been understood. It was that
the house , having actuil possession of
the tariff bill , could pass It with the senate
amendments before the Hill resolution passed
tomorrow , or after the Hill resolution Is
defeated. That is , so confident were the
house conferees of their right to pass the
bill at any time that they regarded their
rights as entirely unaffected by anything the
senate could do with th ? Hill resolution or
with any other resolution.
PRECEDENTS NOT ALL'FAVORADLE.
They rcc-gnlzed there were some prece
dents against tills position , but they re
garded the overwhelming force of authority
as with them and they therefore accepted
It as settled that the house had supreme
authority over the bill without reference
to what the senate might do tomorrow or
hereafter. This conclusion was of the ut
most Importance In bearing on the action
of the caucus tomorrow. It assured them ,
In the first place , there was no need of
precipitate action toward accepting the sen
ate bill before Hill's rcsolut on had passed
This resolution could be taken up In the
senate at 11 o'clock and it had been feared
at first that the house caucus , which be
gins at 10 o'clock , would bo compelled to
take hasty action In accepting the senate bill
In order to prevent the house from losing
Its opportunity to pass the senate bill by the
adopt on of the Hill resolution. Tt was
agreed , however , that no such haste was
necessary. On the contrary , It was felt the
house. In having possession of the bill nnd
a parliamentary right to pass It at any time ,
had everything to gain and nothing to lose
by deliberate action.
Under these circumstances It was deemed
advistble to Infcrm the house fully as to the
situation and to explain that precipttatlcn
in accepting the senate bill would gain noth
ing , while deliberate action In waiting what
the senate would do might accomplish much.
It was pointed out In this connection thut
the house need be In no fear of the Hill
resslutlon being rushed through. Mr. Wil
son and h's ' associates had some strong
friends In the senate , notably Senators Vllas ,
Gray nnd others , who , If the occasion re
quired , would insist on a very complete
debite ot the Hill resolution , which might
last f r n diy. This the conferees reg-irded
as assuring them a breathing spell and a
making it pla.n the house need not rush to
Its conclusion. Entertaining these views , th-
house conferees did not bellcvo It was
necessary or prudent for the house caucus
tomorrow to then and there pass a res-lutlon
to at once accept the senate bill.
REALIZE THE SITUATION IS CRITICAL
They realize the situation Is so critical
the question of accepting the senate bill
might como before the- caucus and develop
such overwhelming nnd resistless strength
that It would be useless to oppose it. They
were prepared for this emergency and were
prepared to accept It If It came. They
would not , however , counsel It themselves ,
and If 11 came It would have , to he the out
growth of tills spontaneous sentiment In the
caucus , It was felt , however , that a dis
passionate statement of the case , showing
the house would lose none of Its right to
pass the senate bill by deferring action for n
day or so would bring about a conservative
result in the caucus. Exactly what tills
action will be was not definitely outlined ,
although the house conferees felt It would
perhaps bo best for the caucus to adjourn
and wait to see what the senate did Then ,
if need bo , another caucus could be held and
mote Intelligent action taken after the sen
ate had acted In the meantime the house
would lose nothing. It the Hill resolution
was defeated and the conferees think there
Is at least nn even chance of Its defeat
then the conference between the senate and
house could be resumed with every prospect ,
in the Judgment of the house conferees , that
a speedy agreement could bo reached. If ,
on the other hand , It was passed , the caucus
could accept the senate bill or lake such
action as It desired In any event the house
conferees felt there would bo nothing lost
by waiting for the senate to show what It
Intended to do. As > et they say the Hill
resolution and similar moves In the senate
are merely menaces and It Is well enough to
"
wait to see If they "became accomplished
facts.
SENATE IS WILLING.
Meantime the sonata Is quiescent ind Is
disposed to remain In Inactivity until the
house shall have had on opportunity to ex
press Itself upon the situation. There Is
undoubtedly a desire on the part of the
largo majority of the democratic senators ,
practicality all of them , unless It may bo the
Louisiana senators , to have the house- take
possession ot the bill. This is duo to the
Cdicral belief In the senate that the house
will accept the scnat * amendments nnd that
the bill will thus become n law , and they
fear It the bill should again go to the sen
ate It would bo long postponed. On the
other hand , It Is believed If the house should
agree to the senate amendments the senate
would acquiesce In this action and wave the
technical question which might bo raised
over the disposition of the bill It Is un
derstood Sciutor Hill , notwithstanding his
opposition to the bill , would be disposed to
accept the fivarable action ot the house as
final and to permit the bill to go to the
president without raUInt ; nny parliamentary
questions. Tlio Hill resolution has had KM
day In court , has gone to the calendar and
could not be taken up except upon a vote
ot the senate. It Is also suggested that
without the actual possession of the bill a
motion for Indefinite postponement would bo
out ot order , and that the only means by
which the senate could secure possession
would bo through a motion lo reconsider Its
action granting a confer nee and then to
ask the house to return Iho bill. Recon
sideration could not , In view ot the lapse
of the time since the crantlnn of the con
ference , be had except by unnnlmqus consent ,
and even with this secured and the request
made upon the hotue , the1 return of the bill
would depend upon the courtesy ot that
body. It would therefore seem the senate
can do nothing with reference to the tariff
nt Its present stage.
AM , iiriMs : : ON TIII : TAHITI' .
If Hut In DlHponpil of' , CnnRrrM Will I'rob-
iiblj Adjourn Thin Urclt.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 12. The hope Is gen
eral about the senate that the present will
bo the last week of the session. This Is
based upon the belief the tariff bill will bo
disposed of early In the week , nnd with the
tariff out of the way final adjorunmcnt Is
expected almost any time. None of the ap
propriation bills , with the exception ot the
sundry civil appropriation and the general
deficiency , remain to be acted upon to any
extent by either house , and these nro In such
an advanced state that a day ot zealous work
would probably suffice to put them both In
shape to be sent to the president. The
Chlncso treaty Is the only other business
that would hold congress for n day and this
Is also In a condition to bo taken up and
voted upon at tomorrow's session. When
the senate adjourned on Prldny and after
giving the greater pirt of the day to the
treaty , there was nn understanding the sen
ate should go Into cxecutlvo session on Mon
day Immediately after the reading of the
journal to take the vote upon the treaty.
It was also agreed this should bo done with
out further debate. The order of business
for tomorrow , presumably , after the treaty
shall have been passed upon , will be Senator
Chandler's resolution for the Investigation
of the Alabama elections. After that all Is
uncertain nnd there Is no prearranged pro
gram for the entire week. Almost every
thing will depend upon the Mellon of the
house on the tariff bill , but whatever that
action may be It can be counted upon as
qulto certain the two remaining appropria
tion bills will receive final attention some
time during the week.
The conference report on the sundry civil
bill has already been largely disposed of and
It Is not probable much moro time will be
spent upon It. The conference committee on
the general deficiency bill has been In ses
sion all day , notwithstanding It Is Sunday ,
and it was believed It would be In shape for
early presentation to both houses. If , there
fore , the house should decide to accept the
senate amendments to the tariff bill , the
senate could be prepared to suspend proceed
ings on almost any day after Tuesday. If
the house should decide upon the opposite
course , there Is no saying what might happen
In the senate. The tariff Is engrossing the
attention of the house and It has so far no
program whatever for the week.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 12. A comparative
statement cf appropriations nnd expenses of
tha bureau of Indian affairs has been com
piled by Commissioner Drowning. It shows
that the total amount covered by the Indian
appropriation bill for the fiscal year 1831
was $7,884,240 , and for 1895 , $9,338,880. The
difference In amounts for designated objects
far the two years is ns fellows , the first
figures balng for IS1) ) * : Current and con
tingent expenses , $185,000 and $189,100 ; In
dian treaty obligations , $3,170,073 and $2,900-
157 ; miscellaneous supports and gratuities ,
$090,125 and $ CC9,134 ; Incidental expenses ,
$121,500 and J114.000 ; miscellaneous ex

$80,390 nnd 578,320. Biulh p"iyment f lands ,
$400,330 and $2,407,697 ; 'total ' for 1894 , $0-
SS4.240 ; for 1815 , $9,33SSEO , nn excess over
1894 of $1,454,040.
Although the object ot the Ind an appro
priation act Is to make appropriation for
curient nnd contingent expenses of the In
dian bureau and to fulfil treaty stipulations
with various tribes , congress has In recent
years attached agreements with the various
tribes and ratified them In the bill , which
wns formerly dons bj separate acts. Certain
objects are also appropriated for every year
under the head of miscellaneous , which
are not properly considered part of the cur
ient expenses of the service. Of the total
Epproprlatlons , $47,997 was for the removal
of the Eastern Cherokees , pajment for Chero
kee outlet bonds belonging to the Delewares ,
payments to Tonkawns and Pawnees for
lands and of Slsseton Wahpeton scouts , leav-
ng $7,390,244 for current expenses. The
total appropriations for 1805 Include pay
ments to tlio YanktonsTaklmns , Coeur d'-
Alene , Sllotz nnd Nez Perces for lands , nnd
payment for damages to settlers on the Crow
creek nnd Wlnnebago reservation , aggrega
ting , $2,5Sfl,81G , the amount left for current
expenses for the present * year being $0,752-

I-Vr every purpose except for payment for

NEW YORK , Aug. 12. The American
schooner George W. Whltford arrived this
morning from Corn Island , Nicaragua , with
n cargo of cocoanuts consigned to L. Schopf
The vessel docked nt 'ihe ' foot of Vcsev
street , North river. The Whltford brings
news of an encounter between the natives
and n few Nlcnraguan soldiers on July G
last , during which four of the soldiers were
killed nnd two wounded From what could
bo learned aboard the Whltford It appears
about July 4 a laujer named Russel , who Is
a Jamaican , called on Governor Maxcmo
Diaz In reference to n lawsuit In which he
had been retained as counsel. The governor
declined to examine the papers , as they were
not In Spanish , nnd this led to a heated dis
cussion between them und ended by the
governor tearing up the luwjer's papers
This enraged him nnd ho proceeded to lec
ture the governor severely. The governor
threatened to arrest him , but did not do so ,
there being no one eleo present but the
governor's secretory. Russel defied the gov
ernor to do his worst und requests were sent
to Dlucflelds for troops to arrest the Hwyer
Meanwhile Rtibscl had gathered about him
several of his fi lends and openly defied the
governor to arrest him. On thslr arrival the
troops were ordered to arrest Russel at once
Russel refused to surrender nnd his paity
fired on the boldlers , killing four and woundIng -
Ing two. The governor's secretary was
slightly wounded , as was also a merchant
who was riding on horseback through the
streets. It was not known whether any of
the Russel men had been killed or wounded.
Russel and his friends thought their vic
tory oltcicd a good opportunity to settle
other grudges , so with eight ethers they
set out to wipe the Nlcaraguen officials from
the face cf Corn Island. They ran up against
the rcma.nder of the troops , three in num
ber. Two moro were killed. The only cno
left wont Into hiding , leaving the governor
and his secretary to the tender mercies of
the Jamaclan and his followers. Russel ad
vanced to the government house and the
governor and his secret.uy retreated to the
cellar and barricaded themselves. In the
shooting the secretary , who was wounded ,
opened flro with a horse pistol , wounding
Mr. Hale , one of Russel's friends. Then the
rebels retreated to the bush , from whence
they made another outslaught , burning two
government houses and the p cr. This last
act Inflamed the pe plo and persons who
had heretofore surrounded the Russel party ,
and on the following day Hale and several
others were captured. Russel and Llnton
escaped , but later were captured at I'ort
Llmon. DIa/ emerged from his retirement
and put all hands In jail. Then he re
signed , leav ng a strong recommendation
that the prls-iicrs be sentenced to the full
penalty for the Insult to Nicaragua. In
Central America this means death. When
the facts of the occurrence reached the
British authorities , Russel being a Dritlsh
subject , It looked as if an explanation would
be demanded from Diaz. Later , however ,
It wnsfound that the affair was not looked
up'n as.an . Indignity to England , but rather
as a street brawl , so Great Drltain Is said
to have dropped it.

crlckscn , a native of Aliska nnd an Ameri
can citizen , arrived from London on the
Paris today. He escaped July IS fiom the
military prison In St. Petersburg , in which
ho was confined two months and three days.
From January 7 , when he arrived In Russia ,
to the time ho escaped , he had what , as he
relates it , was a remarkable experience with
the Russian police. Ho Is a mechanical
engineer and architect. Last year at the
World's fair , Alexis Ralbender , u Russian ,

Russia , represented Russia at the fair , nnd

erlcksen signed u contract with Ralbender
for three years to superintend the building
of a furnltuic factory on his estate. Ills
salary was to be $ J,000 a year. FrederlcU-
sen says he was placed In the military prison
on the charge that lie was a dangerous crim
inal. Ho communicated with United States
Ambassador White. Ills passport had been
given to the judge hy the police , und when
Ambassador White declared vehemently that
Prederlcksen was nn American citizen and
ought to bo free they would not let him
Keep his passport. Neither would they allow
him to ball out. for they said there was no
such law there. I'rcderlcUsen , some time
after , during a heavy thunder storm ono
night , managed to escape from the prison
and made far the river , where ho reached a
Dritlsh steamer , which took him to London
There ho raised enough money to brlns him
to America , Ho s.ijs when he was In prison
Ambassador White advised him to file with
tlio State department a claim against Russia
for damages. Ho sa > s he will do so , plaelni ;
them at $50,000.

DEADWOOD , S. D. , Aug. 12. ( Spechl to

City to the county commissioners of Lawrence
county asking them to call nn election to
locate the county sent has been disposed
of. The board held that the county
seat had been regularly and legally located
at Dead wood In 1S77 , nnd that the location
could not now bo disturbed , except by a
petition signed by a majority of the voto-s
of the county to change the count ) scat to
some specified place. Thereupon nn election
might bo called , but It would require n two-
thirds vote to mnko nny change. The peti
tion piefcentcd was rejected because It was
Insumclcnt , but even If It had been In duo
form , It would have been thrown out , as
nearly half of the names on It hnd been
cither withdrawn or wcro Illegal. The Lend
City people had been counting on the as
sistance of the Homcstuke company , but tint
corporation owns the ore bodies undcrllng

them to use part of the tnwnslte The enl >
reason they do not Increase their milling
capacity Is the present scant supply of water ,
consequently the Homestake company de
clared Itself opposed to nny change , and , as
without Us hearty co-operation It would be
Impossible for Lead City to get the requisite
petition , the agitation Is practically over.
