The Newark, N. j.. papers of April 18th,
contains mott &c Of the death of Marjorie
Hope Tucker. aged years and 8 months,
a daughter of Levi L. and Nettle l.. fBrv-
anti Tucker. The funeral services were
held at the home of the parents in Newark
on Friday, april -. after which the body
of the little one, together with the caSket
containing the remains of little son, Liv-
ermore Bryant who died about five years
since, aged nearly one year was taken to
Vermont by Miss Kate Tucker The pa
rents were detained in Newark by the ILL
ness of their three surviving children with
the same disease which already afflicted
them so sorely. A brief funeral service
was held at Mr.. fuckers old home on
Sunday morning, and the precious dust
was laid TO rest in the old church yard at
West Newbury beside the other two chill
dren which these parents have been called
upon to part with for season. Mr.. and
Mrs. Tucker have had a particularly trying
experience this winter. Beginning on Nov
17th, Marjorie was stricken with scarlet
fever, and then for thirteen weeks the de
voted mother, almost unaided, watched
and nurSed the four children, as one after
another came down with the dread disease,
back to life and health again. After only
a few weeks respite. in which the weary
days and nights of watching and anxiety
were almost forgotten in the joy of having
all the little flock wed again, Marjorie was
attacked with measles in an aggravated
form. The disease attacking the lungs be-
came more complicated with capillary
bronchitis, and no care or skill could pre-
vent her little frame. never strong, and
further weakened by her severe illness in
the early winter, from yielding to the fury
of the disease, and the bright and beautiful
spirit passed from earth on Wednesday,
April 18th, at 8 a. m. Marjorie was gifted
with rare mental powers, and possessed a
maturity Of thought and expression which
made hera real companion in the home.
and which makes her loss still harder to
be borne.

THE TARIFF.
AN AGREEMENT MAY BE REACHED
THIS WEEK.
Bill as Finally Agreed Upon VIII Be
Compromise, rs Both Houses
Feel Concessions viii Have to BE
Made.

Washington, Aug. 1.-Active negotia-
lions are proceeding both in the tariff
conference and in influential quarters
outside, to bring about a complete
agreement on the tariff bill, and the
prediction is made that the end is
near at hand 1t is denied with en-
phasis on the House side that the
Senate sugar schedule and the Senate
iron rate would prevail and the
House be compensated by a recipro
city clause on coal. 1t is stated that
the sugar schedule will not be that
fixed by the Senate, nor the free sugar
of the House BILL but a middle ground.
Friends of the administration say that
there is good prospect of the Presi
dentS's insistence on free raw material
will receive substantial recognition,
and deny as impossible all reports that
any agreement will be made on the
basis of accepting the Senate rate on
coal and iron.
The Democratic conferees were again
together two hours today, and at the
close of the meeting the House mem
bers expressed the same confidence of
a speedy settlement they had after the
meeting yesterday. Chairman Holman,
of the Democratic caucus committee,
said the tariff situation had changed
so materially for the better that a
caucus will not be held for the pre-
sent.
The Senate conferees can be in
duced to say very little. One said
there were more indications of reach
ing an understanding than there had
hitherto been.
1t was stated by one of the Senate
conferees tonight that there was pos
sfbility of reaching an agreement on
| the tariff bill about the end of the
week. with a probability that the bill
as finally agreed to would be a COM
promise. as both House and Senate
feel that the concessions will have to
be made

finally fed and was pursued, but not

ship, Kuwani, had meantime been en-
gagged with the Japanese cruiser Atxi-

and took refuge between the shore and
shoal. The transport carried six guns
and had LOO soldiers on board. The
captain of the transport surrendered

| The japanese government, as soon
as it was informed of the sinking of
the British ship, expressed regrets, de-
claring to the British charge d'affairs
that if, after inquiry had been made,

BEING oBsTRUCTED.
Official Dispatches Are Purposely
Being Held Back.


Washington, Aug. IA cablegram
announcing the arrival of the United
States steamer Monocacy at Nagasaka,
was received by Secretary Herbert to-
day and is the only official news that
has come to the government from the
representa- tiVeS of China and Japan.
The surmise that official dispatches are
being INSTRUCTED purposely now
amounts to conviction.
The Monacacy was at Chemulpo, Co
rea, with the Baltimore, and is is sup
posed she ran over to Nagasalla for
coal and supplies 1t is thought here
that the action of Japan in officially
notifying the British government of
the existence of a state of war be-
tween China and Japan was precipi-
tated by the Kow Shung incident. Had
such notice preceded the sinking of
the ship Japan would not have in
Cured liability to Great Britain and
been obliged to apologize. In effect
that notice is equivalent to a declara-
ton of war, or at least it imposes the
same obligation upon neutral nations.
BY this stroke Japan has doubtless Sc
riously embarrassed China in her eff
forts to supply herself with warlike
equipments in other countries.
Just what the effect will be on Chi
nese treaty ports cannot be foretold
now. Japan has taken the ground that
they are practically foreign settle
ments and therefore has disclaimed
any intention to interfere with them.

hostilities. 1t is believed that China
will now, however, proceed to close the
more important treaty ports, begin
ming with Shanghai, perhaps by OBJ
structing the entrances.

HUNTINGTON's QUEER IDEA.
Afraid to Move Into His Two MiIIior
Dollar Mansion on Fifth Avenue

Afraid to Move Into His Two Million
Dollar Mansion on Fifth Avenue.
New York, Aug. 1-When Coils P.
Huntington announced a short time ago
that the big granite palace he had built
for his family at Forty-seventh street
and Fifth avenue was for sale he did not
accompany the statement with any rea-
son. Now everybody knows that there
must be some very good reason to make
MIN give up this palace which has cost
him nearly 81, DOC, coo, not to speak of the
thought and time he had put into it's
elaborate plans. First it was alleged that
he was hard up and next that the "400''
had sat down upon him, but these both
proved untrue. The real reason it is
said why Huntington never moved into
his house is so small that to most people
it will seem ridiculous. The great mil
honaire, the strong man, the fearless
Spectator refused to move into his new
house because he feared that if he moved
in he would die. 1t was an old supersti-
ton that old men who grow rich build
fine houses for their funerals
When Mr.. Huntington started his plans
back in 1889 he no doubt thought of this
superstition, but let it have little weight
with him. He expected to move in three
years ago, but 1t was only last year that
the house began to get near completion.
In the meantime his health had become
less and less vigorous. His advanced age
and years of hard work and worry began
to tell upon him. The superstition came
back with renewed force and he began
to think a great deal about it. At last
he became absolutely convinced that if
he should move in the first funeral to
which his friends would come would be
his funeral Then he decided that he
would not even keep his house in the
family; that he would sell it and remove
every possible danger of his having to
occupy it. And he will stick TO his idea.
