Washington, August 9.-The Demo-
cratic conference mad expected to be
able to announce an agreement today.
Instead Of reaching any definite con-
clusion, the day closed with the bill
in quite as uncertain a state as ever
before in its history, and with the sit
uation in no wise improved, and with
the feeling between the friends Of the
the senate and the house bill intensi-
fed, instead of allayed. No one was
prepared to say what the outcome
would be, or when the end would be
reached
1t was apparent at the very beginning
of the conference that those who had
concluded at the adjournment of the
session that an agreement would be
arrived at today, had not taken into
account a possibility of misunderstand-
ing or a change of mind. This dis
covery was made when the senate con-
ference proposed to go on with the bill
upon basis of a duty of so cents per
upon the house conferrees announced
their unwillingness to assent to this
arrangement, and stated they would
insist on a reversal of these terms,
with coal free and iron ore dutiable.
They understood they were to have a
choice between the two. The avowal
of this position produced great con-
fusion, and led to the exchange of re-
marks which We're not altogether po-
lite. The senate conferrees thereupon
decided to report the state of affairs
to the conservative senators, and when
the conference adjourned, called SEN
ators German, Aldrlch, Smith and
Murphy into consultation. The whole
situation was outlined to them. They
the position of the house conferrees
for free coal, but were given to under
stand that other conditions would be
expected by the house conferrees along
the line of the bill, including woolens,
cottons, metals, glass and earthenware.
They decided on an emphatic negative
in reply to these propositions, saying
il the body of the bill was not pre-
served virtually as 1t passed the SEN
ate, the report of the conference when
made, would not be accepted by the
senate. Senator Brice proposed an in
novation in the shape of a proposition
that the house conferrees be given an
opportunity TO secure free sugar. His
idea was that the senate conferrees
should Volunteer TO reoede entirely
from the senate sugar schedule.
The question was, therefore, not dis
posed of when the conference ad-
Journed for the day.

The Vigilant today, as on Saturday,
allowed the Britannia two minutes and
four seconds. The dashing Yankee
sloop today was "a little too sSon, and
nearing the line slightly ahead of time,
she had to hold up for a few seconds.
The Britannia guaged her time more

sustained no damage worth mention

The Vigilant gained "a seconds on her
rival in a magnificent run to the War

began to widen her lead during the
beat back to Cowes, leaving the Vigil
liant half-mile astern at the end Of
the first round. In the second round
the Britannia increased her lead to 8
minutes and 1S seconds. On the way
home the wind shifted so as to make
it a close reach, and this enabled the
sloop to pull up on the cutter. But the
Britannia maintained a lead. although
the Vigilant gained on her considera-
bly, while reaching for Cowes. When

The omaha Packers Claim They Can
Not Get Protection.


Omaha, August 1.-TWO hundred
more deputy sheriffs were added to the
number of guards at the packing houses
at o'clock. They were armed with
buggy spokes, no fire arms being all
lowed. The strikers refused to with
draw their picket line at the approach
of the officers, and while avoiding a
collision, they payed but little attention
to the deputies. While the situation is
quite strained, II appears on the sur
face to be more quiet than last night.
The sentiment Of the packers is unani-
nous in a determination to shut down
entirely for an indefinite period, and
as Manager Foster, OF Swifts, puts 1t,
"if the county and state cannot give us
protection and do not care to protect
the great industries OF South Omaha,
we can stand 1t If they can, and as
we were losing money before the strife,
we are not going to. fight the strikers
and lose more money. consequently the
best thing we can do is to shut down
entirely" The packers complain that
they cannot get warrants served on
any man after the complaints have
been made.
Tonight as q working man was pass
ing from the packing house, two or
three men took after him. lie started
to run, and in few seconds 1000 men
were after him. First one striker
would strike the man and then another.
The man was knocked down and kick
cd. After he was beaten and chased
for two blocks the police finally got
between the mob and the man and
stopped the assault.
