The SUGAR PUZZLE.
Tariff Conferrees Still Rack Their
Brains Over It p,
New Schedule May Not Suit the
Louisiana Senators.
Five Votes That Night Finally De-
feat the Bill.
By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON. Aug. 1.-The tariff
conferrees began work again to-day
with the sugar schedule the first to be
talked over.
1t Is claimed that the Senate conferrees
pointed out new difficulty which the
new schedule was liable to meet when
the bill was returned to the Senate.
1t was asserted that with the new
schedule the bill would not receive the
votes OF Senators Gallery and Blanchard
of Louisiana, because no bounty for this
year is provided. nor that OF Allen and
Kyle, Populists; and that these four
votes with the vote OF Senator Hill,
would defeat the bill.
The House men say that the Louisiana
men cannot AFFORD to vote against a
bill as favorable to the sugar interests
as the new schedule makes this one,
simply because no provision for abounty
on this years crop Is included. as Con-
gress certainly Would pass free sugar
bill before adjournment.

Preparing to Protect Themselves From
 Deserters' Onslaughts.
 London, Dec. 10.-A dispatch from Chee Foo to the Central News says the Chinese are fearful that the land ing of the Japanese will be made near that place, whence they will march to Wei-Hai-Wei. Men and guns are be- ing hurried to Wei-Hai-Wei with all possible expedition. The foreigners there, although secure in the protection of a strong force, are forming volun- teer force to further protect themselves against the disbanded and deserting soldiers, whose numbers are largely in- creasing. Reports from Pekin say that a very strong anti-foreign feeling pre- vails there. a { The Japanese are trying to float the Chinese warships Chao Yung and Yang Wei, which were beached and burned in the Yalu fight. A dispatch from Chemulpo says there are only a hun dred Japanese at Seoul. Five hundred Tongtiaks are gathering in the province of Loan Hai, province hitherto free from rebels.

MINISTER'S MEETING,

An Admirable Address by Rev. MT. Brown.
 There was good attendance at the ministers weekly meeting in Center church chapel yesterday. Rev. J. H. Mason presided.
 Rev. F. A. M. Brown of the First Presbyterian church read paper en- titled 1.-TWO Decades of Presbyterian ism." ~,
 After brief historical address re- garding the birth and early growth of Pesbyterianism the speaker enum- erated the many powerful organiza- tions at work in the interest of that denomination at home and in the missionary field, nearly all of which have come into existence during the last quarter of a century.
 He estimated that there are twenty one million Presbyterians in the world, all but five million of whom are in this country. The strength of the denomination line is principally in the west and southwest.
 At the conclusion of the paper, which was very and able and concise, yet comprehensive, there was a long and interesting discussion.
 Rev. MT. Howe of the Westville Congregational church, who repre- sented the ministers association at the recent meeting held in the inter est of the projected temperance cru sade, made report and it was accept ed. No action was taken.
