MAY YET AGREE
Prospects For Settlement Of
Tariff Differences Look
Ing Brighter. !.
c0NFEREES MEET HALF WAY.
House Members of the Opin-
ion That the Week Will
See the End.

. WASHINGTON, Aug. 1.-The prospects
of an agreement on the tariff were much
improved during the day. For the first
time in many days the house Demo
cratic conferees came from the meeting
with the statement that previous ire
concl able differences were in process Of
AMIGA ole adjustment. With much sat-
isfaction the house members stated to
their associates that the senators had
shown disposition for the first time to
meet the house half way. AS to when q
full agreement would be perfected there
was rome difference of opinion. One
house conferee said it would probably be
this week. Another =
Thought It Would Be stsoon."
Chairman Wilson would not admit that
the understanding had gone far enough
to warrant the prediction of q speedy
report. He said, however, that the con-
ferees had at least done business and
made progress during the day, which
was more than could have been said Of
past meetings. The senate conferees
came from the meeting without show
ing the hopefulness of the house mem
bers. They said the conference was as
far from agreement as it had been.
While there was this conflict among
those thoroughly informed of the inside
workings Of the conference, the general
belief prevailed that the hopefulness of
the house conferees had
Some Substantial Foundation.
One Of the conferees said that while no
final agreement had been made on iron,
coal and sugar, yet sufficient had been
developed in conference to show that an
agreement could be reached sOn these
most important items which would be
acceptable to the senate and house con-
ferees and the house Of representatives
Whether it would be acceptable to the
full senate he expressed some doubt. In
this connection it developed that Sen
ator Caffery, who has been most active
On the sugar question, had long, and,
it is said,> satisfactory conference with
Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson.
w LILO HOIlSS WcI0 So
Pleased at the Bright Outlook,
their senatorial colleagues contented
themselves with saying that while they
We're hopeful of reaching an understand
ing, nothing had transpired in confer
ence to base this hope upon. They de-
clare that on the essential items of
disagreement the conferees are as far
apart as ever.
An increased hopefulness that bill
will be agreed upon is noticeable, how
ever, upon the part of Democratic sena-
tors who are not members of the con-
ference. One of the leading conserva-
tive senators said as he was leaving the
senate chamber that the tariff bill
would be finally agreed upon by next
Monday, and he added that the bill
would be virtually the senate bill.

STOLE A KEG OF GOLD.

Fifty Thousand Dollars of Shipment to
Paris Has Mysteriously Disappeared.
- PARIS, Aug. 1.-THE police Of France
are Investigating what is probably one
Of the most remarkable robberies on
record, and it is believed that the police
authorities of the United States will be
asked, if they have not already been SO:
requested, to take hand in the investi-
cation. ~. ~-
In some unaccountable manner cask
Of gold from New York valued at $780,
600, has been stolen while in transit
from Havre to Paris. -"
The French line steamship La Tour
raine, Captain Santelli, left New York
on July 81, for Havre, with 40 casks of
American gold on board, valued at
1900, 1000 and consigned to various con-
Germs. She arrived here July 20. The
40'casks of gold are believed to have
been safely landed at Havre, and they
are also said to have been placed COM
plete on board the train running be-
tween Havre and this city, but when
the precious casks were counted upon
arriving here there were only 80 of
them, one cask containing $4,000 in
American gold had by some means dis
appeared. r ::.~
The Disappearance of the Cask
OF gold has given rise to a number Of
police theories, the strongest being that
the gold was followed from New York
by expert thieves who patiently awaited
their chance to abstract one of the
casks. r.. ..S >..~.-,., l.. r.. So.
The police, pending the termination
of their investigation, will not give any
particulars concerning the robbery, but
it is believed that several persons were
concerned in the theft, for the cask Of
gold must have weighed nearly 200
pounds, and even very strong man
could not have carried such :: load alone
for any great distance.
Ia any case most remarkable rob
berry has been committed, and the police
Of France are busily engaged in an at
tempt to solve the mystery Of the dis
appearance of the $50, 900 cask Of gold.
