NEW YoRK, Aug. 1S.--Looking back at the weeks market at the stock exchange it is seen that the prediction of the bulls that a set tlement of the tariff question would revive speculation was not far out of the way This Is proven by the trans actions, the best possi- ble indication, the sales of stocks having az gregated about 400 ,OO0 shares, an increase of nearly 600,o0o shares, as compared with the previous week, with quotations register ing a gain to per cent. It should be added that the market was strongest at the close An idea may be gathered of the interest taken in the current speculation when it Is stated that S1 ,327 ,0O0 of bonds changed hands dur ing the two hours of business, as well as 167.-. was accompanied by niger prices, and espe- cially in the railroad list and American Sugar.

Poverty Induced the Crime.

CHICAGO, Aug. 3.-Henry Dohme
shot and killed his wife on North
Ashland avenue today, and fatally
wounded himself. Jealousy is said
to have caused the crime. He left
a long letter explaining the cause
of his crime and stating that be-
cause of i'll health and poverty, he
and his wife had decided to die to-
gether. The letter was signed with
the names of both, but the police
believe Mrs. Dohme knew nothing
of the intended shooting and the
husband signed her name to exon
crate himself. Dohme was wood
carver and had long been out of
employment.

TALK OF THE TARIFF.
Business of CaGcusing Among Con
ferees Narrowing Gown to
Working Basis.

Working Basis.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 3.--Before
the tariff conferees began their
session today, there seemed to be
an impression among the leaders
that a decision would be reached
in the near future. The House con-
ferees were especially encouraged
with the progress made during the
week, and said a bill could be re-
ported which would pass both
houses and become a law. The
conference has proceeded with a
view of adjusting differences and
making concessions, corrections
and changes.
Neither side expects to get all
its wants, but both the Senate and
House conferees do expect the tariff
bill. 1t is true, three main
points of difference have not been
adjusted, but they are in a fair way
to be settled. From the start the
sugar schedule has been the
main point Of dltferepce. While
the House, by its vote, made
sugar free, its conferees have been
persuaded to concede that the
duty is necessary for revenue. One
eight differential in favor ofrefined
| sugar has been the obnoxious feat
ure to the House, but it will prob
ably be accepted, as conferees
think the advantage to refiners is
concealed in the "advalorem" rate.
The difference between the price of
raw sugar and refined, which will
regulate the amount Of duty to be
levied, can be manipulated by the
trust to its great benefit and injury
to consumers and the revenue of
the government. The Senate con-
ferees tell the House members to
write the schedule so as to prevent
any such manipulation and it will
be acceptable If it retains the same
duty and protection to the sugar
interests as contained in the Senate
bill. This problem has been engag-
ing the conferees for a day or two.
and many propositions have been
presented and rejected, but the
opinion is expressed it will finally
be adjusted. Other main points of
difference, coal and iron ore, have
also been the subject Of more or
less discussion, with but little
success, as the points of the COM
promise do not afford as much
latitude as the sugar schedule
The fact that Democrats Of the
House generally do not care much
about either of these questions,
save as the principle involved has
| given the senators reason to believe
they can hold them in the bill, but
| the House conferees feel they can
adjust the matter by securing free
coal, with a provise that Senate
rate of forty cents per ton shall be
imposed upon coal coming from
| those countries which refused free
admission to coal produced in the
United States. 1t is agreed that
iron ore becomes less a matter of
contention on both sides and it is
believed it will not be allowed to
stand in the way of final agree
| ment.
