TWO SNAGs IN THE WAY

OF an Agreement Between the Houses on
the River and Harbor Bill.
WASHINGTON, June 20.-The conferees
on the river and harbor appropriation bill
are not making any progress toward an
agreement After reaching an amicable
understanding relative to nearly all of the
important points of disagreement between
the two Houses, the conferees failed COM
pletely to agree upon the two Senate
amendments embodying the Lake Wash
ington Canal and the Dalles boat
railway project. They reported this dis
agreement to their respective Houses and
were instructed to insist upon the disagree
ment They have carried out this instruc-
tion to the letter. and, indeed, so faithfully
that the idea of free conference with the
intention to reconcile the differences seems
to have cut no figure, for neither side was
willing to surrender single point.
When the last meeting adjourned the
conferees on the part Of the House were
given to understand that there would be no
further meeting until they were prepared
to make some concessions. The House con-
ferees do not feel that they can do this
without violating their instructions, but
the Senate conterees are determined not to
sacrifice the cardinal principles of free
conference: so the prospect of speedy action
upon the bill is not particularly encour-
aging

Partly Shown to the Senate by Acting Secre-
tary of State Uharton-FuIl Fruits Not
to Be Measured in a Month or a
Year.
WASHINGTON, June 20--The Acting
Secretary of State to-day sent to the Senate
a voluminous reply to a resolution passed
some weeks ago. inquiring as to the ''prac-
teal effect" of the reciprocity negotiations
The communication says:
1t is proper to suggest that "the practical
effect" of these arrangements cannot be
measured by the commerce of month or
year for the result must depend not alone
upon the character of the concessions Sc
cured by diplomatic negotiations, but by the
degree to which they are utilized by private
commercial enterprise. Before the full re-
suit of the reciprocity arrangements can be
realized we must provide the means of
transacting our own business, independent
O: the ships and banks and capital of our
commercial rivals
That the advantages are recognized and
appreciated is already apparent by the in
industrial and commercial communities OF
this country. Although it is useless to con-
lecture the results that have or may
come from the advantages afforded
gratifying to note that there has al
ready been considerable increase in our
exports, and that there is good reason to
expect that it will continue and be perma-
nent 1t is equally noticeable, too that the
exports from Great Britain to the Latin
American countries are falling off with even
greater rapidity; so much so as to excite the
apprehension of her commercial organiza-
tions and impel them to seek some means
of protection from the Government.
The enactment of the reciprocity section
of the tariff ACT of 1890, in connection with
the meat inspection act, conferred upon the
executive the power through negotiation to
very promptly secure the repeal Of the pro-
hibition upon American pork. which, for 10
years. had practically excluded that import
ant product from most of the continental
countries OF Europe. But, it not
only brought about this result: it
likewise enabled the Executive to negotiate
reciprocity arrangement, first with
Germany and afterward with Austria, by
which in return for the admission into the
United States of sugar we obtain in return
the admission into those countries at re-
duced duties of a large list of American
agricultural and other products. Negotia-
tions upon the lines OF section of the tariff
act have been in progress in the City of
Mexico etween the United States Minister
and n special commissioner of the Mexican
Government, but so far no satisfac tory
esult has been obtained.

LITTLE ONES LAID TO REST.

Tho Bodies of the Drowned Pittock Chill
dren After Impressive Services on New
lille Island Arc Buried in Allegheny
J Edna Richardson's Solitary Funeral.
Neville Island has never seen more sad
day than that OF yesterday when the funeral
of the little ones who lost their lives in the
Ohio river last Friday took place. At the
home of Thomas r. Pittock lay his four
children, Edith S., Margaret H.. Rufe T.
and Paul R. and Edna Richardson, the
daughter of William Richardson, of Nc
KEGS Rocks The bodies lay side by side,
each inclosed in a beautifully embossed vel
vet casket, the only decoration being
bunch of roses upon each. All the resi-
dents of the island were present at the
house of Mr.. Pittock.
Shortly after noon the exercises were
opened with PRAYER by Rev. Mr.. Cochran,
of the Presbyterian Church of Coraopolis,
followed with singing by the choir of the
same church of the hymn "Some Sweet
Day" Mr.. Cochran then made short ad-
dress. After the sermon the choir sang
"Rise Up and Hasten" both hymns being
favorites of the two eldest Pittock children.
When the services had been concluded the
bodies of the dead Pittock children were
carried to flatboat at the very spot where
they had been drowned, and it was towed
across the river to Dixmont station, the
parents following in skiffs. A special car
received the fuseral party and at Federal
street, Allegheny, stood four white hearses
in which the Baskets were placed. Fifteen
hundred persons gathered at the depot to
receive the train. The funeral cortege then
wended its way to Uniondale Cemetery,
where after short service by Rev. DR.. Yer
ner, the four little bodies were lowered into
the graves. Mr. and Mrs. Charles Pittock
had sufficiently recovered to attend the
funeral
The body of Edna Richardson was carried
to the little cemetery on Neville Island
from the Pittock residence, being borne by
four uncles of the dead girl. The services
at this lonely grave were conducted by Rev.
DR.. Cochran. Mrs. Richardson is still con-
fined to her bed and was unable to attend
the funeral

HIS WEIGHT IN GOLD.

An Ancient Ceremony Which Was Recently
Performed With Great PomD.
The ancient ceremony of weighing the
Maharaiah of Travancore with gold was
performed with great pomp in that city the
other day, His Majesty being devout
Hindoo and a great stickler for the rights of
his religion.
Months before the ceremonies his Govern
ment bought a great quantity of pure gold,
the greater part of which was converted
into coin. After presenting an elephant to
the shrine, the Maharajah entered the tenn
pie and mounted one of the scales. his
sword and shield being laid in his lap. In
the other scale the newly struck coins were
put in by the first and second Princes until
the Maharajah rose in the air, the priests
chanting Vedic hymns. In addition to this
the band played and the guns fired. After
ward the coin used was distributed among
about 1000 Brahmins

The English Marriage Settlement.

The English marriage settlement, which
seems rude interruption to the poesy of
betrothal days. is a wise provision for the
sterner necessity of practical life By its
conditions, neither adversely nor extrava-
gance, gambling nor bankruptcy, differences
nor estrangement can effect the wife's settle
ment 1t is inviolate from creditors and
cannot be reclaimed by the husband Many
engagements are hopelessly shipwrecked on
this rock of the marriage portion, however,
and many an English maiden is left fancy
free because of the dreaded interview be-
tween exacting fathers and impecunious
suitors
