from al agreement rs III hou oooh'
While there was little conflict among
those thoroughly informed on the IN
side workings of the conference, the
general belief prevailed that the nope,
fulness of the house conferees had
some substantial foundation. one OF
the conferees said that while no nnal
agreement had been made on iron,
coal and sugar, yet sufficient had
been developed in the confer
ence to show that an agree
ment could be reached on those tnree
most important items which would be
acceptable to the senate and mouse
conierees and to the house OF repre-
sentatives, but whether it would be
acceptable to the full senate, this con-
feree expressed some doubt. In tnls
connection it developed today that
Senator Csffery of Louisiana, VINO mas
been most active on the sugar ques-
tion, had a long and, it is said, satls-
factory conference yesterday with
Speaker Crisp and Chairman wilson.
While the house conferees were so
pleased at the bright outlook their
senatorial colleagues contented them
selves with saying that while they
were hopeful of reaching an under.
standing, nothing had transplred
ia conference to base this
hope upon. They declare that
on the essential items of dis
agreement the conterees are as
far apart as they ever were. An In"
creased hopefuluess that bill will be
agreed on is noticeable, however, upon
the part of Democratic senators who
are not members of the conference.
One leading conservative senator salo
as he was leaving the senate. cham per
tonight that the tariff bill would be
finally agreed upon by next MONDAY
and he said further it would be vlr-
tually the senate bill. The day de-.
veloped the possibility of report OF
partial agreement and while this re-
port at first appeared as vague
rumor, its probability was afterwards
confirmed by senators, not members
of the conference committee.
WILL LOOK THE MATTER UP.
The state department is seriously
concerned at the lack of official news
at this critical juncture from CHINA
and Japan, nothing having been re-
ceived from our representatives IN
those countries since the brief dis
patch of Sunday from Mr.. DENLY,
charged affairs at Pekin, stating, hos
tilities had broken out and that war
was inevitable. Secretary Gresham
has accordingly cabled to Mr.; DENLY
and to Mr.. Dunn at Toxic directing
them to promptly report to him any
happenings of Importance, and 1t Is
expected that the department will be
better informed hereafter. 1t appears
that the British government has had
trouble in communicating with its
diplomatic representatives in China
and Japan and there is ground TOR
suspicion that obstacles are purposely
being interposed to that freedom OF
communication between a neutral
government and it's diplomatic repre-
sentatives which is guaranteed by in
ternational laws. Should this be the
case, the government responsible ia
likely to receive a severe remon-
STRANGE.

TARIFF SITUATION.

WASHINGTON. July 3l.-The pros
poets OF an agreement on the tariff
were much improved today. For the
first time in many days the house
Democratic conterees came from the
meeting with the statement that pre-
vious irreconciliable differences were
in process of amicable adjustment.
| With much satisfaction the house
members stated to their associates
that the senators showed disposition
for the first time to meet the house hall
way. AS to when full agreement
would be perfected there was some
difference Of opinion. One house con-
feree said it would probably be this
week. Another thought it would
be "soon." Chairman Wilson would
not even admit that the understand
ing had gone far enough to warrant
the prediction of speedy report.
He said. however, that the con.
forces had at least done business and
made progress today which was more
than could have been said of past
meetings. The senate conferees came

San Francisco, Nov. 22.-Not a favor

lots of money won for all that The
Bohemian stakes, one mile, with all
the crack 3-year-olds as starters, was
the attraction of the day Lucky Bald
win carried off the prize with Rey Ell
Santa Anita. He also came very near
winning the second place with Arapa-
hoe. The betting on the Baldwin stable
was as high as to l, but it went down
to to ] before the race started. Sena-
tor Irby was the favorite at 10 to 5,
and although great things were expect
ed of him, he was never dangerous.
After a long delay at the post the
horses were given a beautiful start
Thelma jumped into the lead at once,
with Artist second, Irby third, followed
by Lovdal. Arapahoe, Rey Ell Santa An
tia and Articus, in the order named.
At the half, the order was the same,
except that Rey Ell Santa Anita had
moved up a place. At the three-quar-
tiers there was no change, but when
the horses swung into the stretch, the
riding commenced Thelma was COM
ing very fast still in the lead, but Rey
Eel Santa Anita caught her about so
yards from the wire and won by a
length Arapahoe had come up and was
only a neck behind Thelma for the
place. Senator Irby and Artist We're on
even terms for fourth place, with Ar

that Miss Hogans character had been
above reproach during the time of en-
ployment in the store. The witness said
that 10 days after giving this testimony
he thought the matter over and conciud-
ed that he had erred. He had since rec
objected many circumstances which
would reflect upon her character and
had frequently seen one of the clerks
put his arm around her. He had re-
solved to come to Fargo as a witness
to correct the errors in his deposition.
E. w. Anderson was the much-talked
of witness whose testimony was to clear
Hirschfeld of all allegations that he was
time convict the bride of lewdness. 1t

of the case will be made In August

and Miss Hogan stopped there three
days. During that time the witness
said that he made and kept an engage
ment with her. The Kisses of the spec
tators were silenced by the court, but
they made. the witness nervous and
when the counsel asked: "How much
did you get for giving this testimony
