WASHINGTON , July 12.
The air nbout bath houses was full of
rumors tin to what had been done by the
tariff conference committee today. The
most persistent of thcso rumor * was that
coal and Iron ore wore to bo restored to the
free list , as they were when the the bill
pasted tlio house. A thorough Investigation
revealed this story grew out of a story be
tween members of the committee and sena
tors and representatives connected with It ,
and wlille It had not been stated In these
conversations the commltteo hail agreed upon
thcso change.1) , the outside members were
given to understand this was the program ,
and that It was to bo put Into execution
by the joint efforts of the house conferees
and the two senator managers of the con
ference. The members of the committee
spoken to on the subject after the adjourn
ment declared no action had been taken
upon thcso two Items , and they went so
far as to declare they had not been even
discussed. They made the same denial of
another story that was current to the effect
that changes hail been decided upon In the
sugar schedule.
Kvcr alnco the democratic members of
the conference commltteo began their meet
ings last Monday , without Inviting the re
publicans to bo present , there has been mani
fested a disposition on the part of the re
publicans of both houses to criticise the par
tisan methods of proceeding , and this dis
satisfaction took shape today In the Intro
duction by Senator Halo of a resolution call
ing attention to the 'failure of the demo
crats to call a full conference of democrats
and republicans. Senator Halo said the
resolution was the effect of an understand
ing among several republican senators. He
expressed the opinion the resolution would
develop an Interesting debate In the senate
tomorrow ,
"This proceeding by the democratic con
ferees Is , " ho said , "unprecedented In the
history of the country. The law says con
ferences between managers on the part of
the two houses shall bo full and free , and
contemplates that they shall bo held after
the appointment of the managers. The
meeting between the democratic senators and
members Is practically unofficial. Wo of
this side of the chamber think wo have
a right to know what Is being done with
BO Important a measure as the tariff bill
and have decided to make our opinion
known. "
NEED OF A NEW PRINTING OFFICE.
In an elaborate article published In the
July number of "Paper and Press , " printed
In Philadelphia , Judge S. R. Davis of Iowa
presents a proposition which will undoubt
edly become popular with the people of the
country , particularly with the printers and
publishers. The Idea has already elicited
a great deal of favorable comment from
senators and representatives who have read
the article. ' After an elaborate description
of the present government printing office ,
which is as dangerous as It Is unsightly ,
Judge Davis says :
"Every member of the printer's craft In
the country who Is connected with any de
partment of the 'Art Preservative of All
Arts' should insist that ono of the noblest
temples on the globe bo erected at the cap
ital of the American republic , which would
servo not only the purpose of a practical
workshop from which to Issue all the public
printing , but as a stately monument to that
noble art which moro than any other has
contributed to the advancement and progress
of humanity.
"Ono of the wisest acts of congress was
the appropriation for the Congressional Li
brary , whose majestic proportions are now
assuming symmetrical shape on Capitol hill.
But without the printer's art this noble
library would not bo possible. The new
government printing ofllco should be. If any
thing , a grander building , ample enough
to contain a museum Illustrating the progress
of the printer's art from the tlmo of Us
discovery. It should contain an art gal
lery , In , which the statues and portraits of
the distinguished craftsmen and Journalists
of the world would find an honored place.
"Its site should bo upon a lofty eleva
tion , above the possibility of flood or damp
ness , or conditions not In harmony with
the splendid architecture of the building.
Present emergencies demand the Immediate
enlargement of the present quarters , and
this addition should bo made ample to pro
vide for the needs of. the office until the
final completion of the now edifice. The
people of this country will approve largo
appropriations to carry out this purpose , and
thto Improvement would give employment
to thousands of the unemployed and en
tail a burden upon the taxpayers trifling in
comparison to the great and permanent
benefits secured.
"This congress should begin the steps to
Inaugurate this splendid cnterprlso , ulti
mately to result In the completion of a temple
to the printer's art ample enough to meet
the needs of the government for a century ,
and a monument to the genius of American
Institutions which would excite the admira
tion of the world. "

Went on It Journey.
WASHINGTON , July 12. The ordnance ex
ports and steel makers who wore encouraged
by recent tests to suppose they had acquired
the secret of armor plates of uniform shot-
resisting quality had that belief shattered
today when the twelve-Inch navy rliles sent a
shot spinning through a sevcntcen-lnch Har-
vcylzcd Carnegie plate , through the heavy
oak backing and the earthwork and hun
dreds of yards away Into the woods. This
happened at the Indian Head proving ground
In the presence of Chief Sampson of the
ordnance bureau and some of the officers ot
the Carnoglo company. The plato was put
up for a premium test , but failed to PASS the
acceptance test. The first shot showed Its
weakness , when a Carpenter projectile , at
the low velocity of 1,110 feet per second , sent
Its point thirteen and one-half Inches Into
the soventccn-lnch plate. The point of the
shot was broken off and the shot Itself flew
back. Then a Wheeler projectile was fired
at a velocity of 1.853 feet. This was the
shot that penetrated the plate. The shot Itself
was recovered In a condition similar to the
first shot. The ordnance officers were puz
zled at the failure of the plate , particularly
In view of the highly satisfactory perform
ance of a similar plate a few weeks ago.
The metal appeared to be of excellent quality
and there were no cracks that extended moro
than a few Inches from the hojes. The plato
represented a group of 700 tons of armor
destined for the Oregon's barbettes , but
fortunately the remainder are not so far ad
vanced toward completion as to preclude a
change of treatment. An olghtecn-lnch
Bethlehem Harveylzed plate , now at the
proving ground , will bo attacked next week. .

WASHINGTON , July 12. Secretary Her
bert today made two Important details.
Commodore Carpenter , who has been on
watting orders In Boston for some time , was
assigned to the command of the Astatic sta
tion to succeed Admiral Skcrrltt , just Ye-
tlred. By virtue of his command , ho will
have the rank of rear admiral. Ho Is In
structed to take passage from San Fran
cisco on the Gaelic on the 7th of August.
The secretary also made known his Inten
tion to glvo the command of the European
station to Commodore William A. Kirk-
Jam ] at his own request as soon as Admiral
Krben retires , probably before September.
At the tlmo Admiral Walker was sent to
Hawaii in command of the Pacific station ,
suddenly relieving Commodore KIrkland be
fore the latter could reach his flagship , It
was rumored he was In disfavor at the de
partment , but today's action of the secre
tary In giving the commodore the command
of the favorite station , and ono which will
soon be reinforced by some of the finest
ships in the navy , Is strong evidence of the
high estimate the secretary entertains of
his abilities. Commander KIrkland will
lib-Id the rank of admiral , and his assign
ment will leave the south Atlantic station
without qn admiral.

WASHINGTON , July 12. The pasasge ot a
bill to establish a home for aged colored people
ple In Washington from a part of the un
claimed funds due the estates of colored
soldiers has encouraged Representative Mur
ray of South Carolina to propose that the
balance of the fund shall be used to build
schools for his race.
There Is $500,000 In the treasury due to
colored soldiers of the rebellion as pay and
bounties which has never been claimed and
Is likely to remain unclaimed. Mr. Murray
proposes to have It appropriated for three
schools for the Industrial education of the
colored people of the south. A portion of It
he proposes shall bo given to the trustees
of the Tuskogco Normal and Industrial
school , another share of $23,000 to the school
at Manassas , Va. , and the remainder to the
establishment of a school In Texas and an
other In South Carolina. In a canbpicuous
place on the main building of each Institu
tion ho would have Inscribed "Sacred to the
memory of the colored soldiers who died for
the perpetuation of a free and perpetual

CLEVELAND , July 12. Saengerfest hall ,
the mammoth audltorium'of this city , with a
seating capacityof 10,000 , was crowded to
the doors this morning at the opening exer
cises of the great International Christian
Endeavor convention. It Is estimated that
20,000 strangers are In the city this mornIng -
Ing , and since the partial resumption of
railroad traffic the numbers are Increasing ,
every Incoming train bringing largo crowds.
The exercises today consisted of two tre
mendous mass meetings. One was held In
Saengerfest hall and the other In a big tent
In the eastern part of the city. The tent
has a seating capacity of 10,000. The ad
dress of welcome was delivered by Governor
McKlnley. The governor was very cordially
received , and lib remarks were vigorously
applauded.
In the absence of President Clarke , who
was unable to bo hero on account of Illness ,
Rev. Charles F , Dlcklns of Boston presided
over the principal meeting at Saengerfest
hall. After vocal exercises by 1,600 trained
voices and short addresses by prominent
members and leaders of the society , Secre
tary laer read his annual report.
Secretary Bacr's annual report showed the
society to bo In a very flourishing condition
and with an ever Increasing membership
almost phenomenal In proportions. "The
commanding officer , " the secretary said ,
"finds that his society Is not a mere wave of
foamy , youthful enthusiasm , a part ot It
cait upon the shores of Lake Eric. On the
contrary , It Is an army 'as strong as steel
and as flexible as ribbon. ' It Is a God-
given , Ood-protected , God-advanced army. "
The growth of the society during the past
twelve months haa been the largest slnca It
was organized thirteen years ago. During
that period 7,39 $ companies have been added
to the rank > , against a"tfaln ot G.278 com
panies added tp the rolls , during the previ
ous year. England * has now 1,453 regu
larly enrolled companies/ / Including 158 In
Scotland and olghty-fhreb In Ireland , or a
total of 75,000 individual''gains. The gains
have been very heavy In India , Japan , Tur
key , China , France , Spalrj Mexlco and other
foreign countries. Theu total Individual
membership of the society In Canada at the
present time Is 134,580. ' In all there are
283,926 companies enrolled In the United
States , and the total /ndVtdual / ( membership
throughout the world , ls over 2,000,000.
Thirty evangelical denominations are rep
resented In the socletyp the Presbyterians
still leading with G.652 < > companies. The
Congregatlonallsts , the Baptists , Disciples ,
Methodists and Lutlierans follow In the
order named. , > ,
At the several over/low / , , meetings held In
the big tent and nearby churches fully 16,000
people were In attendance ! ' All of the prin
cipal speeches delivered at Saengerfest hall
were repeated at the overflow meeting by
the speakers
President Clarke's annual address was
read by the secretary. It was as follows :
PRESIDENT'S ADDRESS ,
A picturesque scene Is that which the
scriptures record as occurring near the
close of the life of the prophet Ellsha. The
dying seer place i his hands upon the hands
of King Joash , which hold the royal bow
and arrow , and tolls him to shoot. The
king obeys , and out of the open window the
arrow speeds , while the prophet cries out.
"Tho arrow of the Lord's deliverance and
the arrow ot deliverance from Syria. "
Then said the prophet : "Take the arrows
and smlto upon the ground ; " and ho smote

was wroth , with him and said : 'Thou

Some such message comes to us , Christian
Endeavorers , on the occasion of this our
thirteenth convention.
"Do not be content with one , two or three
blows for the right. Strike , and strike , and
strlko again , until the day Is won. "
If I can read aright the time ; , this Is the
message for today :
1. Strlko once more for the principles that
have made Christian Endeavor strong.
What are our principles ? If I know any
thing about them , they are the ideas In
volved In the pledge , the consecration meetIng -
Ing and the committees.
May I suggest that moro of the money
raised In our state conventions might be
profitably spent Inr circulating fundamental
literature rather than In any other way ?
Sow broadcast this seed. Show that Chris
tian Endeavor has principles definite , reason
able , workable 'principles ' principles in
which wo believe ; principles that wo can de
fend ; principles that constltuto the strength
of the movement.
2. Again , Christian Endeavorers , strlko
once moro for good citizenship. Right nobly
have you rallied around this standard dur
ing tli past year.
It stands by such men as Charles II. Park-
hurst , and every kindred spirit In every
political party that seeks to purify politics
and to make this Immanucl's land.
While Tammany nourishes In New York ,
and open gambling In Chicago , and licensed
prostitution In New Orleans , and the
Louisiana lottery has moved only across
the street to Honduras , the outlook Is
dark.
It Is dark , but not hopeless.
3. For missions , too , moro has been done
during the past year than ever before. That
eloquent roll of honor tells us that tens
of thousands of dollars have been given.
Millions should bo given where now are
given thousands. A very moderate calcu
lation puts the earnings of active Christian
Endeavorers , at $150,000,000 for the hist
twelve months. One-tenth of that , $15-
000,000 , would bo nearly twice as much as
all the Christians ot America gave to homo
and foreign missions within that tlmo.
A year ago at Montreal three advanced
stops were proposed Christian citizenship ,
proportionate anU systematic giving to mis
sions , and the enlargcnment of our Christian
Endeavor fellowship.
4. All these steps you have taken with
quickened pace and flying banners. As
never before has Christian Endeavor advanced
in numbers and in widespread fellowship.
In hospitable Australia , In Mother England ,
In progressive Japan , In conservative China ,
In awakening India , as well as in the great
republic and the great Dominion of North
America ( which In Christian Endeavor al
ways have been , nnd I trust always will be ,
one ) , our fellowship has grown as In no
previous year.
In the late war , while the soldiers wore
In camp , there might bo rivalry between
the different regiments and corps ; but when
they came to march against the enemy ,
regimental rivalry and corps jealousies were
sent to the rear In double-quick time , and ,
touching elbows ( O the thrill of that "elbow
touch" as old soldiers have described It to
me ! ) , they stood together.
O brothers , let us cultivate every bond of
fellowship. Let us strengthen every tin that
binds our hearts In Christian love. Enough
causes , at the best , distract and weaken
and divide Christian forces. If Christian
Endeavor , while maintaining and guarantee
ing the loyalty of every one of us to the
truth us Oed gives us to see the truth ,
should bo the blessed Instrument In the
hands of providence for bringing earnest
Christians nearer together the world around ,
our cup ot happiness would bo full.

Mr. Wilson was halted with the Information
that he would have to square up before
going away. This ho refused to do ,
Insisting that he had had nothing to eat. The
proprietor of the establishment Insisted that
everything except boiled chicken was on tap
and could bo had by ordering. Hot' words
followed , and as the upshot of the whole
matter , the restauranter lifted the Wilson
hat and tucked it away In the safe until
such time as the bill , 40 cents , was liqui

JOLIET'S WHITE CELLS.

"Solitary confinement In a dungeon cell
has always been considered ns theseverest
of the corrective measures resorted to in
penal Institutions ; but It has been Improved
upon , " remarked Abnor V. Chadwlck of
Hartford , Conn. , member of the recent eos-
falon of the National Prison Heform congress ,
to the Now York Advertiser. "Public senti
ment becnmo so strong several years ago In
the state of Illinois against the dark cell
that the legislature took a hand and abel
ished the Institution. Some means of sub
duing the refractory spirit ot convicts who
would not work was necessary and ns whip
ping was abolished the warden at Jollot
prison evolved the most refined and effective
form of torture yet discovered. The
dungeon was supplanted by what Is known
a-t the white cells. They are located In a
detached building In n portion of the In-
closure far distant from the work shop. The
walls of the cell are of great thickness ,
the sllenco of the tomb prevails. They are
lighted from above , but no gllmpso of the
sky can bo obtained , and the walla , floor
and colling are painted a glaring white.
Even the narrow board , the only piece of
furniture In the cell , upon which the
prisoner Is permitted to sleep outsldo of the
working hours. Is painted white. During
the hours when the other convicts are at
work the man In the solitary is handcuffed
to the door of his cell , his bands being
chained nt an easy nnd natural elevation.
There Is not a speck of color to rclle\o the
steady , glowing white with which ho Is sur
rounded. The effect Is terrible when taken
In connection with the deathlike silence.
Within an hour the brain of the prisoner
begins to swirl and ho becomes deathly
sick. Few men have ever been able to
stand the whlto cell , with Its maddening ,
monotonous , unrelloved glare for a single
day before they begin to bog for mercy.
Two or thrco hours of the tomb-llko sur
roundings generally brings the most violent
and rebellious spirit to term ; . "
