Conclusion.
WASHINGTON. July 2S.-The demo.
cratic members of the conference com
mittee on the tariff bill resumed their
session today. All were present except
Chairman VOORHEES,, who is i'll. The
indications are that there will be nu-
merous changes in the less important
schedules as agreed upon tentatively in
former conference. 1t il believed
there will be no material changes in
the metal schedules. Before the com
mittee meeting the president sent for
Chairman Wilson and held long con-
terence with him. 1t is generally be-
lieved as between the senate bill. with
such notifications as can ue obtained

derstoOd the democratic leaders of the

that the house members of the confer

Wilson Realizes the Situation.
Chairman Wilson saw several mem
oers of the house during the early part
of the day and while he avoided a di-
rect committal on the fight between the
house and the senate, the members got
the impression in a general way that
Mr.. Wilson regarded the situation as
extremely precsrious and as presenting
choice between the senate bill some-
what modified and a continuance of
the Mckinley law, and that he regard
ed the former as the lesser evil. The
early session in conference was devoted

A short but Severe Engagement.
Late this evening further details of
the naval engagement reached this
city. The fighting, though Of short
duration, was severe. Prior to the dis
charge of the torpedo from Japanese
warship the crew of the transport, which
was armed and the military force on
board of her, made a hard fipht
against the attacking forces. MANY of
those on board of her were shot down
on The deck. When the vessel began
to sink there was great excitement on
board. In the confusion no ATTEMPT
was made to lower the sailb0ats. Every
foreigner on board was killed in tile
fighting or went down with the vessel
Only Forty Men Saved.
The loss OF life was great. OF nearly
1000 Chinese troops on board of her
only 40 were saved. They were picked
up by a French gunboat that was
cruising in the vicinity.
Only short time elapsed between
the explosion aud the laundering of
the transport. Then she went down
suddenly near Shopiont island. The
Tsan Khan, which was captured bv
the japanese, was an old man of war
that had been impressed into use as a
transport. Many men were killed on
board of her before she fell into the
hands OF the Japanese.

Corruption and Misgovernment Pro-
wallis Almost Everywheres
LONDON, July 20. AS result of en-
nnries made by experts in Eastern pol-
itics and persons who have resided in
Corea, a reporter of the Associated
Press learns that widespread discomfort
exists i'll Corea because of the corrunt.
ion and misgovernment that every
where prevails. One of the most rev.
dictionary factors in the country is
the quasi religious sect called Touu
Hak, which ascribes the precarious
condition of C0rean trade and com
InercP To the presence of foreigners in
tine country. This sect has set for itself
the task OF Kidding Corea of the hated
foreigners and has threatened Japenese
and other foreigners. Among the
charges brought against the foreigners
is one that they have caused an enOr-
nous increase in the price of tood-stuffs
without any benefit accruing to Cor
cans.
The King Terrorized.
The king of Corea possesses no real
authority, and he is in constant terror
of a revolution that will sweep him
from the throne. He is heavily in debt,
and the whole country is in a state of
anarchy. To this condition of affairs
is due the revolt that recently started
in one of the provinces. Last year 30
600 Coreans threatened 10 march on
the capital, SeOlu, and compel the for
eigners to leave. This rebellion was
suppressed, but the country has been
disturbed ever since. Reforms in the
administration are regarded as abso-
lutely necessary, not only TO save the
commerce Of the country, but for the
safety of the foreigners.

senators had been confined to a general
going over of the subject, and that no
agreement had been reached on iron,
coal or sugar. At 1880 +. M, the SEES.

tariff struggle. Ii was said by those in

Chairman Wilson and his three assoc

the president are very close said that
while he could not speak with authori-

be an acceptance ofthe senate bill, with
some moderations, would be acquiesced
in by the president as the best thing
obtainable.

Conclusion Chairman Wilson Re
allies the Situation.

WASHINGTON, Jaly 28.-When the
tariff conference broke up the house
mem ers were disposed to hold out
stiffiv for considerable concessions on
cutlery and steel rails. The prospects
now ale that the rates on rails will be
lowered somewhat, but that the cut.
lery rates will not be changed. The
senate conferrees probably will accept
the house rate Of ST per pound on
wrapped tobacco retaining the same
phraseology. There will also be some
changes in the woollen schedule, the
most important of which is probably
in the paragraph relating 70 cloth in
mems wear. Cloth and cotton yarns
will probably be reduced to an extent
OF about per cent, as will laces and
embroideries, on which the rate will
probably be made As instead of so
cents. The rates on china and earth
enware, which are slightly higher
than those on the senate bill, will be
accepted.
a Settled Policy Probable.

Wilson before the con ference opened.

the White house yesterday, and the

were all accepted in congressional cir
cles as evidence that he president was
willing To let Chairman Wilson and
Senator Mcmillan know exactly his
opinion before the conference was re-
sumed.
Only Two Courses Open.
When the visit of Mr.. Wilson to the
White house became known among
members it was felt ON all sides that a
settled policy on the part of the admin
istration had been agreed on. It was
the almost unanimous expression Of
the members that but two courses
were open, in view of the attitude
Of the senate and the tie vote yes
terday, VIZ: To accept practically
the senate bill or to leave the McKin-
ley law stand. The expressions were
quite general that as between the seu.
ate bill with snch notifications us
could be obtained and the Mckinley
law, the president and Mr.. Wilson
would reluctantly accept the former
and thus end the legislative panic and
avert the probable failure of all tariff
legislation.

CAUSES OF sLEEPLEssNEsS.
Changed Views Concerning the Phy-
siolOgy of Sleep.

Changed Views Concerning the Phy-
siolOgy of Sleep.
Formerly sleep was believed to be
dependent upon a state of comparative
blccdlessncss of the brain, and by the
condition of the circulation of the blood
through that organ the character and
duration Of sleep was held to be modi-
fed. This view is still regarded as
correct by Psychologists of the present
day, but since physiological chemistry
has thrown more light on the processes
Of repair and waste it has been shown
that, in addition to the part played
by the blood circulating through the
brain, inducing wakafulness OF sleep ac-
cording to the increase or decrease in
the rapidity Of the circulation and the
variation in the size Of the blood YES
sells, the actual chemical condition OF
the brain cells also serves to determine
the existence Of sleep and w~akefulness.
As the formation of clinkers in q fur
mace reduces the fierceness of the
flames and interferes with the activity
Of combustion, so the accumulation Of
fatigue products within the brain cells
formed during the waking hours, tends
to induce Inconsistencies by reducing
the activity Of chemical action and in
terchange between the blood, the vehi-
Gle Of n%ourishment, and the brain cells
needing replenishment. The healthy
alteration of work and rest is thus
provided, for the very existence of
waste material generated during the
activity Of the brain cell tends to inter
fere with the absorption Of the brain
tissue from the blood of the pabulum
necessary to energetic action; but if
from any cause the brain is unduly
stimulated, whether by emotion.
thought or external Impressions on the
n hand, o. by acceleration Of the
blood supply through cerebral vessels.
then the supervention Of sleep will be
delayed and possibly prevented for Il
prolonged period. In this connection
the introduction of exciting drugs into
the circulation from without, or the
absorption of Irritating poisons formed
under conditions Of disordered diges-
ton, or in consequence of bodily fatigue
must be remembered as fruitful sources
Of insomnia.-National Review.
