Washington Notes.

Mondays session of the conferees on the
Tariff bill ended in row. The differences
of opinion were so radical as to prevent
progress, and led to harsh words
There was report in circulation that
day to the effect that the Republican con-
ferrees, angry as they are at being barred
from the consultations, were considering
the edvisability OF not attending the con-
ference after they are invited by Chair
man Voorhees,. This could not be verified.
In fact it is known that the Republicans
propose to be on hand and TO contest every
inch with their opponents. 1t they find
that the Democrats have agreed upon a
a measure as radical as the Wilson bill
they propose to fight its adoption in the
conference and in the senate with all their
might. In fact they expect that they can
either kill the bill on a direct vote in the
Senate or To at least delay a vote until al
ter the elections in November.
On Tuesday the Democratic corferees
called the Republicans into the confer
ence and there was a short general discus
sion that resulted in nothing. The Re.
publicans were informed that the Demo
cratic conferees had been unable to reach
any agreement and that the chief points OF
disagreement were sugar, iron ore and
coal, and certain features of the iron and
steel schedules and of the cotton and
wOOlen schedules, believed to be too high.
1t was admitted that there were other dif-
ferences, but they were minor ones only.
On Wednesday the conferees agreed to
| disagree, and the whole Tariff bill was tC
go to both Houses next day. The con-
| ferees could not agree on the sugar, metal,
ore and coal schedules, and will report a
disagreement on the whole measure. II
the house does not yield the prospects for
a deadlock are good.
Gresham's dispatch to japan protesting
against its alleged war with Corea was con-
sidered blunder in official circles.

THE REVIVALISTS.
DIR. Yatman at the California Street
Methodist Church.

Rev. DR.. Yatman presided over the re-
vivaI service at the CaliforDla-street
Church last evening, and held SpellbouDd
for the time being cue of the largest con-
gregations which has ever assembled
beneath the roof of this house of worship.
Mr.. Yatman possesses a spiritual SIM
cerity and dignity which carry conviction
that mere logic could not bring. His every
word reaches the hearts of his listeners.
and all seem to be fairly hypnotiZed under
the power of his manner.
Last evening he took occasion to review
the facts attending his conversion when
but II years Of age. Christianity, he stated,
was the one topic upon which his youthful
mind revolted. Nothing could be brought
to bear upon that determination to follow
idOlatry until his en- ployer, with whom he
had been for number of years engaged
in the mercantile business, made an ur-
gent appeal which came as sudden dart
from heaven and planted itself with such
firmness within his soul that it had since
remained and became, as years went by,
as mistaken as mighty boulder.
His subsequent years had been crowned
with nothing but prosperity, and above
all the cares and anxietles of life the pow
or of Christianity was felt so strongly S to
overpower even the bitterest Universities.

A Bridegroom Arrested.
Yesterday at IL o'clock at 1921 Park street,

County Clerk for a marriage license for M ,rtin
Pretranek and Rose Mueller. He stated, or
perhaps swoIe, that Martin was over FL years
of age.
The marriage took place at Pages real estate
Office yesterday, but just al the most interesting
point the mother of Martin broke In the door,
and showing a birth certificate OF her son
showed that her boy was born October 20,
1874. The wedding was completed, but Mrs.
Pretranek has had Mr.. Page arrested Tor per-

Three days were then allowed Hart to ME his

The City Attorney then continued his story
