Ecr a cask of gold from New York valued
at $4,000. has been stolen while in tram
sit from Havre to Paris. The French
line steamship Ia Touraine, Capt. San-
tell loft New York on July p, for Havre,
with forty casks Of American gold on
board, valued at $2,O0O,0OO and con
signed to various concerns. She arrived
here July 20. The forty casks of gold
are believed to have been safely landed
at Havre, and they are also said to have
been placed complete on board the train
running between Havre and this city. but
when the precious casks were counted
upon arriving here there were only thirty
nine of them, one cask, containing $780,,
600 in American gold had by some means
disappeared. Among the theories being
investigated is one which may turn out
to be correct. It is that the thief OF
thieves hid himself or themselves in thu
car in which the gold was subsequently
placed, and that while on their way tt
Paris one cask of gold was thrown ou
of the train, and the robber or robbers
jumped after it.

Three Children Smothered to Death
.# in a Car.
Hartford, Conn.,, July 3O.-Raymond,
aged nine; Leroy, seven; and Freddie,
four, the children of James W. Canton,
an engineer On the New York, New Ha-
ven & Hartford railroad, who have been
missing since Thursday evening when
they went to bathe in the Connecticut
river, were found dead at o'clock this
morning in the closet of freight ca
boose standing on a side track near the
round house, not 300 feet from their
home. After numerous searches, Chief
of Police Bill ordered the freight cars
and railroad property searched, and two
policemen were drawn to the caboose
this nlornir g by the smell of decom-
posing flesh. In the trainmen's closet,
shut by spring lock, they found the
three bodies entirely nude and badly de-
composed. The inquest disclosed no evil
dence of foul play and verdict of acci-
dental death by asphyxiation was rem
dered. The caboose was newly painted
and the children went there to play, a
pack of cards being found in the closet.
1t is supposed they closed the door and
could not open it and soon suffocated in

favor. There are many reasons adj
vanced to show that this statement has
good foundation. 1t is known that the
mails and telegraph are bringing to the
Democratic senators urgent appeals 10
pass bill which will not favor the trusts
and which will be in line with the de-s
mands Of the party platform.
In fact these requests upon the sena-
tors are endorsements of the position of
the president and the house in the main
points of difference. That these tele-
grams are having effect cannot be de
MED, and have caused the senators who
are most insistent upon the senate bill as
regards coal, iron ore and sugar, no little
concern. The house members also find
considerable comfort in their analysis Of
the speeches made by the Democratic SEN
ators when the conference disagreement
was before the senate in which they find
that but one Democrat besides Mr.. Hill
who declared that if the Louisiant sugar
interests We're not protected he would net
vote for the bill. None of the other SEN
ators it is claimed, burned the bridges
behind them, none of them declared alb
solutely that they would vote against the
bill if the Is diffcrential on sugar was
not retained. or if the duty on iron ore
anu coal was Stricken out. I1uL ulCfe
than this, many of the senators decl lred
their desire to obtain a tili which would
secure 43 Democratic votes. 1t is point
ed out that none Of these senators, not
even Mr.. Gallery, have placed them
selves in a position in which they can
not support bill if t is returned without
differential protection 70 the sugar re-
fners and with coal and iron on 'ne free
| list. s ~
The tension between the senate and
| house was as marked at the close of the
session to-day as it had been at any time
| previous. The Democratic members of
| the conference found themselves in a COM
pietc deadlock when they met during the
forenoon and the full conference called
for o'clock found itself without business
before it when it convened. The full con.
| ference did not continue to exceed fifteen
minutes, and the proceedings consisted
in a statement by the Democrats to the
Republicans that the Democratic con
ferees had been unable to reach an un
derstanding, and sugge stion on the par
of Chairman Wilson that the conference
adjourn subject to the call Of the chair
man, which suggestion was acquiescel
in by the Republicans.

SENATORS GIVING IN
Prospects of an Agreement on the
Tariff.

Tariff.
Washington, Aug. 1.-The prospects Of
an agreement on the tariff were much
improved to-day. For the first time in
many days the house Democrs tic con-
ferees ,an.e from the meeting with the
statement that previous irrcconcilable
differences were in process of amicaI'l
adjustment. With much satisfaction the
house members stated to their associates
that the senators had shown disposition
for the first time to meet the houso half
wiy. AS to when full agreement would
be perfected there was some dl1ference
Of opinion. One house conferee said it
would probably be this week. Another
thought it would be ''soon." Chairman
Wilson would not even admit that un-
derstanding had gone far enough to war
rant the prediction of a speedy report.
He said, however, that the conferees had
at least done business and made progress
to-day, which was more than could have
been said Of past meetings. The senate
conferees came from the meeting without
showing the hopefulness Of the house
members. They said the conference was
as far from agreement as it had been.
Willie 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 come substantial
| foundation.
One of the conferees said that while
no ti.,al agreement had been made on
iron, coal and sugar, yet sufficient had
| been developed in co lfe1enc to show that
an agreement could be reached ON these
1Eost important items which would be ac-
| ceptable to the senate end house con-
| ferees and the house of representatives
Whether it would be acceptable to the

Washington, July 3O.-The day in the
senate is teing given up to the sundry
civil appropriation bill. This always
arouses mere or less debate. The bill
this year will probably prove no excep-
ton, and it is likely that two or three
days will be devoted to it unless it should
be side-tracked by the tariff. With the
sundry civil bill disposed Of, the general
deficiency bill will be, the only appro-
priation bill remaining uracted upon by
the senate. It has not yet been consid-
cred by the committee or appropriations,
but will be taken up az soon as the sun
dry civil bill shall be reported, and will
probably be in shape to be considered by
the senate by the time the sundry civil
bill is out of the way. -Four of the ap-
preparation bills are in conference, and
reports upon these may be expected dur

or less debate upon EACH If time per-
