decided that there slinll he no further leg
islation over which Hiiro la 11 contest at this
esslon of congress , by adopting Mr. Mur
phy's resolution to that affect by a good ma
jority. Indeed , It Is douhtful If anything
tould bo done , even without the adoption of
this resolution , as It was Impossible to secure
a working quorum today on any party division
nnd other senators are about to Icavo the
city. The resolution appointingMr. . White
of California it member of the finance com
mittee met with no opposition and Was agreed
to unanimously. Mr. Oray's resolution In
structing the committee on flnanco to report
the fren sugar bill Immediately with an
amendment putting the "Hat" duty upon
sugar , did not faro so well and went over
without action awing to the lack of a quo
rum. Another resolution was offered by Mr.
Lindsay , declaring It was the sense of the
Bonato that congress could not ndjourn with
out striking out of the tariff bill the benefit
It gives the Sugar trust , which was amended
by Including the Whisky trust , and as
amended It went over under objection. At

Already never.il of great Importance h.ad been

twenty or thirty millions of revenue annu
ally.Mr.
Mr. Heir , the author of the amendment ,
Mr. Sherman ( inserted , hid not expected that
It would be accepted. He had simply offered
It OH a tentative proposition. Mr. Sherman
quot'd from the Record In support of this
statement.
Mr. Sherman depreca'ed ' the contemplated
conference of the president with congress ,
but he Justified Mr. Carlisle's letter as to the
effect of the tariff bill on the revenues and
said that he would. If opportunity offered ,
vote for a straight duty on raw nnd roflned
sugar without , the differential. As far as
the other popgun bills wcro concerned , ho
was opposed to placing Iron ore , coal and
barbed wlro on the free list.
Mr Gray followed Mr Sherman. Ho
thought tint no matter what the result of the
coming election might bo , there would not
be another McKlnley law. The people wcro
tired of the scenes of the past winter which
resulted from the McKlnley law.
Mr. Plait , republican of Connecticut , also
submitted some remarks , and at 2 o'clock ,
the expiration of the morning hour , the
resolution went over.
Mr. Harris , democrat of Tennessee , then
called up th" house bill to repeal the tax on
alcohol used In the arts. He asked unani
mous consent to consider It , but Mr.
Chandler objected and moved to refer it
to the finince committee. The motion was
lost 14 to 25 no quorum voting. The
clrrk then proceeded to call the roll.
It showed that two- more than a quorum
were present. It being apparent that with
this small margin no voting quorum could bo
obtained , Mr. Harris moved that the senate
go Into executive session.

UfiNVEH , Aug. 18. John Arklns , ono of
the owners and editor of the Uocky Mountain
News for many jears , died at his home here
today of gastritis , agjd D2 years. Colonel
Arklna first showed signs ot breiklng health
last February , nnd on the advlco of physi
cians took a trip to the Pacific coast In the
hope that rest and the sea air would restore
him to health. Ho re'urncd unimproved , and
then was advised to go to Excelsior Springs ,
Mo. , where ho spent several months , without
the expected beneficial results. A fortnight
ago ho was brought home. Ho leaves a
widow and one son.
Colonel Arklns was a man of striking per
sonal appearance and In his frank , h.'nrty
manner there Hashed n magnetism that at
tracted strangers and held his friends in
closest bond. Ills employes looked upon
him us a friend nnd there was not a man In
the N9W8 olllce but stood ready lo make al
most any sacrifice In carrying out his wishes ,
so great was their regard and love for him.
Ho took hold upon the hearts of those who
knew him and every man was his true friend
nnd loyal supporter Ho was n man of stal
wart figure nnd expressive face , whose bearIng -
Ing i.potio of bis Intrepid courage and In
domitable will.
Colonel Arklns was a native Pennsylvnnlan ,
having been borne In Fuyetto county , Feb
ruary 1 , 181J. White called colonel nnd while
looking every Inch a soldier born to com
mand , the title was only honorary. It vvas
Ills pride that In the civil war he never got
above the rank of corporal. This was In
company A of the Fifth Minnesota Infantry.
He promptly enlisted In what proved a cele
brated regiment , and served three year * . Its
chaplain was the now famous Archbishop
Ireland , and for him Private Arklns formed
a great attachment , which continued to his
death. Colonel Arklns' experience with war
left Its effect upon his after life and brought
out the genial side of the man and even far
along Into his Illness , almost to the end , ho
remained an entertaining companion , with an
apt anecdote and u good story always at his
tongue's end. All through the northwest
and south as far as New Orleans Colonel
Arklns worked nt the printers' trade after the
close of the war. In 1873 he came to Colorado
and for several vears worked as compositor
and foreman In Denver offices. When the
Leadvlllo boom began he went Into the , new
mountain mining camp and cstableshed the
Evening Chronicle. It was his first news
paper venture , and the latent talents of the
man lenped Into active life. The Chronicle
made a great success and becamn a power In
politics. In 18SO he sold the Chronicle and
bought an Interest In the Kocky Mountain
News , the oldest paper In Denver. His
energy and vim began at onca to make It
successful. From a slow , humdrum sheet ,
the News became In a very shnrt time a
bright , newsy , aggressive newspnper. He
found it in n little two-story , shabby frame
building. Ho left It housed In a five-story
brick a complete modern newspaper estab
lishment , grown since 1880. For over four
teen years he continued tha manager of the
paper , making it a great success , not only
financially , but as a newspaper of great nnd
far-reaching Influence. As an editorial
writer ho was practical , forceful and abso
lutely feailess. Ho was a nlau of acute and
accurate perceptions , of quick , nervous
energy , nnd a perseverance that yielded tone
no obstacle. He did not aspire to literary
work. He was a newspiper man In the
titiest sense of the word. Ills whole heart
was In his business , and his brains made a
success of It. Ho was n steadfast , helpful
friend. He was klndhearted , almost ex-
tiavagantly genetous , and always sympa
thetic and charitable. In politics he was n
fighter of the old school , with an ardent.
Impulsive temperament , having a whip of
scorpions always ready , but he was a manly
foeman. Socially , a captivating and com
panionable imn , he came to bo known and
admired through the whole broad field of
Journalism.
VESUVIUS IN OMAHA :
Ie truetlcui of Ioi i > n1l to Ho Reproduced
nt Court hind Itciich.
Next Tuesday night thousands of Omaha
people will probably be comfortably seated
In the large amphitheater nt Courtland
beach , witnessing the first production of
Pain's "Last Days of Pompeii , " If the
weather permits It.
Their thoughts will revert to the actual
city of grandeur and beauty , located nt the
foot of Mount Vesuvius , In the zenith of
rtcme's wealth and power some eighteen
centuries ago.
As the performance progresses a trumpet
Is heard and from under the triumphal
arches a group of soldiers emerge with
standards and musical Instruments , an
nouncing the coming of Arbaces , the
wealthy Egjptlan , who on this occasion has
attempted tc dazzle the eyes Qf the
Pompellan popnlncs by a display of wealth ,
but more especially to gain favor with the
fair lone , who Is his distinguished guest.
The soldiers are followed by negro slaves ,
pi tests nnd priestesses , flower and dancing
girls , gladiators , musicians and senators ,
anil undo i a canopy Arlmccs himself. After
erosElng the pl&zia , bowing to the honorable
senators nt the forum , the procession re
turns and waits the Egyptian's greeting of
lone and her attendants , who , with the
Greek Glaucus , arrive by boat. The honored
guests are then taken by galleys to mo
magnificent residence of Arbaces , and from
his portico watch the festivities which now
commence. Following the sports the sacred
march la made to the temple of Isis from
which now emerge the prlesta and prlest-
esseH , the Idol to bo worshipped and the
high priest , whoso appearance Is1 the signal
for the multitude to kneel. Ciliiucna being
a Christian refuses to kneel , and this brings
on a combat with Arbaces. Vesuvius , which
has for some tlmo been quietly smoking ,
now suddenly emits a cloud of flame and
smoke with n deafening roar , nnd lava 'pours
down the mountain sides In torrent.s Earth
quakes add to the catastrophy , buildings
and temples fall and are burled , and the
destruction of the beautiful city Is complete.
Following the volcanic eruption and the de
struction of the city comes the most magnl-
cent display of Pain's famous Manhattan
beach 111 e works , $1,000 being expended
nightly In this one portion of the evening's
entertainment ,

CHINA TO BLAME.
Owing to the enactment of new-
press regulations on August 1 , the
Japanese papers give only meager details ,
strongly colored for Japanese readers ,
of wnr happenings , the new lawj
decreeing that editors publishing any
thing about the war without Its Mrst b'lng
formally corrected and approved by govern
ment officers appointed for the purpose are
liable lo imprisonment , with hard labor , for
a term of months and to a fine as well.
Details of the engagements which resulted
In the sinking of the British steamer Kow
Shung , furnished by the Japanese , sub
stantiate the contention that the owners of
the vessel should look to China for rep
aration , assorting that the catastrophe was
brought about solely by reason of tin Chinese
troops aboard refusing to allow Captain Gal-
worthy to cany out Instructions given him
by the Japanese , he and his officers belui ;
forced to Jump Into the sea to escape beliii ;
shot by the ChlilesO vvho wer ? his pass ngcra.
Japan Insists that the Kow Shung was sunken
on account of the piratical conduct of the
Chinese troops on board toward the British
captain. News Is- , also given In the English
papers of Yokohama , of numerous engage
ments In wbfdi Japanese ships ware vic
torious. Names ot Jtlio vessels engaged are
for the most papt left In blank , which makes
the Intelligence of 'their ach'eveinont3 of
little consequence , , The Chinese officers and
men of the dispatch , boat accompanying the
Kow Sluing are cjr dlted with having , whin
the vessel grounded , flrod her and themselves
swam to shore. Foqy succeeded In evading
pursuit. r ,
LI Hung Chang has been memorialized by
tha general commanding the Chinese troops at
Gasan to withdraw Ji forces at that rol t , ns
the Japanese ore , , too strong to be success
fully opposed. Famine Is menacing
the Chinese r forces at that point ,
owing to dlfjlculty In securing sup
plies. China ' 'proposes that the forces
bhould be withdrawn entirely and a comb na
tion made with' the troops marching over
land to constitute material for a new cam
paign. The report , .that a large force of
Chinese troops < tir j.bctlig marolicd overland
and that they are now almost en the bor
ders of Corea appears to be authenticated
by later advices. When Yttn left Seoul he
gave Instruct'ons to the head of the powerful
Ming family that he would , return to Corea
with a large army. Not only were all de
mands of the Japanese to be refused , but of
ficials belonging to the Independent party sus
pected of Japanese Inclinations should be
Imprisoned and the ringleaders punished
with death.
The third battle In the war between Japan
and China was fought on July 29 at Solkan.
The battle commenced at 3 o'clock in the
morning and lasted with fearful slaughter
for five hours. The Japanese eventually
drove off the Chinese and captured the town
of Solkan. There wer * 5,000 Japanese and
0,000 Chinese engaged. The Chinese fled ,
followed by the Japanese , who engaged them
in another battle at Ynshan. Of this battle
no word can be received , although the cable
at the time announced that the Japanese
wore believed to have b ° en victorious. It Is
thought the Japanese were defeated , as they
have closed the postolllce , Inspected the tele
graph office and forbidden the papers to
publish news. There has been another en
gagement since , but both nations have sup
pressed news of the battle. It Is known that
a number of war ships were engaged on
both sides. The Chinese papers claim vie

Owing to this and other disputes , other
countries have distanced us in the rare for
China's trade , which they consider of value
enough to fight for , as shewn by the action
of EiiRUnd and France. This country has
the bast geographical position for securing
this trade. Our Pac lie ports front those
of China and our transcontlnantal railways
frcllltato the moving cf freight In that di
rection. Chlne'e excluslvenes ? Is breaking
djvvn. China has granted concessions for
an Immense iron and steel plant and for a
railway from Hankow to Pekln. Another
railroad from the northerly const to the
Russian frontier Is under consideration , and
* ho telegraph h being put all oier the em
pire. This indicates commerce with an em
pire whose people ccnstltute one-fifth of the
human race. Ch na uses silver in trade ,
jut produces llttla of It. This should give
our silver mines a market and go far lo
mnko bimetallism practicable. In 1882
China's Imports were $113,000,000 , and her
exports $102,000,000. Great Britain fur
nished $110,000,000 of the Imports and tcok
$ fiO,000.000 of the exports , giving a balance
In her favor of $50.000,000. The United
States' share cf the Imports was but
