Washington, August 4.-lyhen the
Democratic tariff conferres adjourned
tonight after an all day session, 1t
looked as though they were nearer an
agreement than at any time thus far,
and yet the agreement itself, which is
the great end in view had not been
attained. The hopes OF the conferres
last night that definite results would be
reached and made public today, failed
to be realized An agreement on sugar
had not been reached beyond a possi-
bility of recall, nor had agreements
been reached on iron ore or coal. The
day closed, however, much better than
it opened. 1t had brought out that the
new sugar schedule submitted as an
ultimatum by the conservative senator's,
would be accepted by the house con-
ferries, and that there was little else
than formal and final announcement
of the correspondence to make an agree
ment on sugar complete. SO fully salts

the house side, and pointed out that in
their opinion 1t would reduce the bene-
fits by fifty per cent over the original
senate schedule. In view Of the fact
that the proposition came from the
senators, this willingness oil the house
men to point out its advantages and
features, indicated the common ground
they occupied. Indeed, one of the con-
ferries spoke of the result of this day.
work as equivalent to AN agreement on
the sugar schedule, but said 1t was not
such a binding agreement as to cut
off the possibility Of disagreeing to II
on Monday. Thus It stands, with the
conferras on the point Of agreeing, and
yet not actually at that point. -sAs ,to
when the quasi-agreement will become
absolute finality, the conferres had no
definite idea when they separated to-
night. AS Secretary Carlisle was with
them part Of the day. 1t is concluded
that the schedule is also satisfactory to
the administration.

And the autumn winds are come.
Quickly reapers, gather quickly
The last ripe hours OF my heart,
For the bloom Of life is withered
And hasten TO depart.
