The Senate Makes No Attempt
10 Solve Tariff Bill Problem.
SUGAR DEFERDNTIAL DOOMED.
The House FaVOrs the Election of Sen.
ators BY a Direct vOte-The sugar
Gambling Iniquity.

WASHINGTON, July p. - There has
been persistent rumor about the CAPT.
toll today that the conservative demo
cratic senators have been in conference
and that they have adopted a plan
under which steps were to be taken to
defeat the tariff bill, ii Oh Monday the
senate does not definitely instruct the
conference TO stand by the senate bill.
Senator Brice, who is regarded as the
leader of this element, pronounced the
story as without foundation. It is true,
however, he said, that the conserva-
tives had been a great deal together
and understood each other perfectly.
He said, furthermore, that so far as he
was concerned he had decided to sup
port Senator Villas in his effort to have
the sugar differential stricken out of
;he dill, and added that the sugar
schedule, being an administration
measure, he saw no reason why the ad-
ministration should not have its own
way about it now. He added that if
inslstance upon this course should re-
suit in defeat of the bill, as he thought
it might. conservative democrats will
not be responsible for that result.
There VIII Be No Caucus.
1t does not now appear that there
is any prospect of an early democratic
caucus in the senate. Senator German
says there will be no democratic caucus
between now and the calling of the !
senate on Monday.
There is plan for the repeal of the |
sugar bounty by an independent bill if |
the differential duty oil refined sugar is |
stricken out of the tariff bill and the /
bill defeated in consequence.
The republican advisory committee
of the senate today decided to recon-.
mend that republican senators allow
the democrats to do the greater part al
the talking on the tariff bill aud vote
solidly to strike out the differentIal
sugar duty.
Villas VIII Not Recede.
When the senate on Friday ad-
burned over until Monday it was IN
ierstood that this was done with the
hope OF making peace in the democratic
party, by patching up the differences
IN the tariff bill. Among other plans
which some of the democratic senators
lad in view was one of Senator Villas
o withdraw the motion to have the
enate to recede from so much of its
ugar amendments as to provide a duly
! cent pound on refined sugar.
Accordingly Senator Villas was APP
1ealed to by a large number of demo-
ratio senators to relieve the senate of
he embarrassment which the offering
# the motion caused, by not insisting
lpon the amendment. This he de-
lined TO do. He said late tonight that
lie had no intention of Withdrawing il.
IL shall let the motion he decided on

AN ARCH SWlNDLER.
Elegant Lady Who Charmed Dollars
Away from Some Portland People,

The Boston papers of last week con
tanned accounts of Mrs. Frank Abbott, a
remarkable woman swindler, who had
finally been detected at Laconia, N. FL.
This Mrs. Abbott is believed to be the
same elegant and cultured appearing
woman who came to this city last No
vember and charmed money away from
people here. She represented that the
was Mrs. Temple, of st. Adams, VT,
and that she had come to Portland to see
about putting her children to school,
Her calls were delightful, for she was a
ready conversatlonalist and of charming
manners. &c. when one day she was sur
prised to find that she had lost her purse
it was real favor to be allowed to loan
$25 to so nice woman.
But having borrowed the money, Mrs.
Temple did not return. The Portland
people sent telegram of inquiry direct
ed TO Mrs Temple at St. Albans. They
received reply saying that there must
be some mistake. and signed with Mrs.
Temples name.
Then the Portland people sent letter
to Mrs. Temple, recalling TO her mind
how she had come to Portland to put her
children in school, and how s25 had been
loaned to her.
The reply to this letter was interest
ing. 1t came from Mrs. G. Temple, who
is well known lady of that city, identi-
fed with charitable work and at the
head of the organization of King S
Daughters.
1t appeared from this letter that the
dashing swindler had appeared in St.
Adams, and ingratiated herself with
Mrs. Temple, claiming to be King S
Daughter. The story Of the lost purse
was told, and Mrs. Temple loaned $25
on the strength of it. Then the adven-
turess started for Portland, not only
with Mrs. Temples money, but with her
name also.
Of course it is not known positively
that the woman who passed here as Mrs.
Temple is really the Mrs. Abbott who is
in trouble at Laconia, but there seems to
be little doubt of it.
Mrs. Abbott has told the same story
and worked the same game that was
worked by Mrs. Temple here. She gen.
orally selected Episcopalians as her VIC
tins, and in the course of her converse
lions used to speak of having travelled
in the holy land with Bishop Brooks, of
having crossed the ocean Is times, etc.
She swindled at Clayton, N. Y, as Mrs.
Hastings of Montreal, at Hartford as the
wife of Rev. Mr. Bentley of Claymore,
Ohio, ETC., etc.
She was finally exposed through fall
ing sick in the railroad station at Laco-
MIA, She was removed to a house near
by, where she soon gave birth to child.
The authorities of Laconia have sent
her to Montreal, but her true name and
home are unknown.

Crossing the Atlantic

Usually involves sea sickness. When the waves play pitch aud toss with you, strong indeed must be the stom- ach that can stand it without revolting. Tourists, commercial travellers, yachts men, mariners, all testify that Hos tetter's Stomach Bitters is the best remedy for tho nausea experinced in rough weather on the water. Nervous and weakly travellers by land often suffer from something akin to this, and find in the bitters its surest rom. edy. No disorder of the stomach, liver or bowels is so obstinate that il may not be overcome by the prompt and thorough remedy. Equally eff cacious is it for chiIls and fever, kid ney and rheumatic trouble and ncrv ousness. Emigrants to the frontier should provide themselves with thi,
 lne medicinal safeguard against tho effects of yicisSitudes of climate, hard ship, exposure and fatigue.
