A Successful Raid at Summer Hotel at
Old Orchard.

Old Orchard. August 3.-Thieves got
in their work here yesterday and OBJ
tanned nothing short of $1700 in cold
cash. The robbery was clean one, and
no clue was left as to the identity of the
thief. The man who lost the money is
A. B. Tice of Boston, sport, who as
been staying atsthe Gorham House all
summer. He came there to attend the
races, and has had considerable money
with him all the time. Mr.. Tice has
been pretty careful with his money and
when going out has always left it with
his wife, at the Office, or with some one
whom he could trusj. His wife has been
away5for few days, however, and yes

ing, and in ~ minutes he was back
again. Inside of that time, however his
room had been entered, the trunk brok-
en- into and the money, which was in
one roll abstracted.

FROM THE SEAT OF WAR.
Another Battle Reported to Have
Been Fought,

OF THE JAPANESE.

The Emperor of China Removes His vice

Prosecuting the War-In the Imperial
Manisesto the Command is Given to
Capture and Destroy Japanese Vessels
Wherever Found
Shanghai, August 3.-The action of
the Emperor in diyesting Viceroy Lii
Hung Chang of the order of the Yellow
Jacket has fallen like thunderboJt here
as it is feared the Incident will lead to
his complete overthrow. He is regarded
here as the only leader capable of coping
with Japan in the inevitable long war.
The crisis is regaded as imminent. The
Emperor has been influenced in his act
ion by members of his family, hostile
to the Viceroy's pro-European policy. 1t
is expected that Sir Robert Hart, the
British representative, will assert his au-
thority and support Lii Hung Chang.
The soldiers beheaded at Tien Tsin for
deserting pleaded in extenuatlon of the
offense hunger and exhaustion. Before
they were executed they were stripped of
their uniforms and their pigtails were
cut off. The example has terrified the
army. An edlct has gone forth that the
army VIII receive double pay hence
forth during the war with japan and a
large bonus has been offered to officers
competent to navigate the Chinese naval
vessels and transports.

ing house totals for July report 80 cities
with larger aggregates than in July Of
last year, contrasted with the June re-
port which contained only IS cities
with aggregates larger than those in
in June year ago, it is perceived
there are in influences at work at the
interior favoring an increase in volume
of business. The July clearings total
at IS cities was two per cent smaller
than in June, and the smallest of any
month this year except February. Com
pared with July of last year, Boston's
July total declined Sper cent, while St.
Louisiana Pittsburg alone, among the
more important cites, show gains over
July of last year.
An improvement is announced in gen.
eral trade at San Francisco, but is based
on the.interest manifested sin the war
in Asia. Provision dealers particularly
are anticipating largely increased
trade.
The war between China aud Japan

AN AGREEMENT REACHED.
The Senate Bill Will Be Accepted

OFFICIALS YESTERDAY.

Doings of Congress Yesterday-The Gem
notwithstanding in the House Over
the Post Office BiIl-Congress Adjourn
ed Till Monday.
Washington, August 3.-After the meeting
Of the Cabinet today four members an
nounced each to different person that an
agreement had been reached by the Senate
and House oonferees on the tariff bill.
The basis of the agreement was not dis
closed, but one of the most distinguished
members of the cabinet said to a Press
representative: "You can announce that
the President will sign a tariff bill within
ten days.
The Press bulletins today announcing
the tariff adjustment SPREAD apidly- through
the city and caused much excitement.
No one of the Cabinet officers who spoke of
the settlement would divulge:the terms, but
the inference was strongly conveyed that
the Senate bill, with not very many mater
1al concessions is the basis ofthe agreement.
Ihe paramount reasons that seem to have
brought about the adjustment were stated
to be the absolute necessity for the cessa-
t1on of the period of uncertainty in order
that the government finances might recup-
crate and gold exports stop and the country
be given an opportunity to resume busines ss,

afternoon that when a mule found he

Offices and post roads was finally adopt

The House voted to adjourn over from
today until Monday.
The first bill called up was that re-
classifying postal clerks and regulating
their salaries. The bill increases the
number of classes from five to seven, and
the maximum salary from $140O to S1100,
and the tosal salary account $3.50, 1000 a
year. o
4 The passage of the bill was advocated
uy 1OpkluS,, OF 1lllQ-
ois, Mr.. Bingham of Pennsylvania, and
Mr. henderson of Iowa. and was antag-
onized by Mr.. Dockery and Mr.. Clark,
both of Missouri.
Mr. Clark said the Democratic party
came into CONTROL of all branches of the
government upon a platform which
promised economy in the administration
of its affairs He was not going now into
game of praising thu Repu blicans in
the matter of expenditures A more in OPP
perfume time to raise salaries he never
knew.
The government could not raise reven-
ue enough under the laws left by the
Republicn party, to pay its Expenses
when economically administered. This
bill proposed to rise the salary of three
Republican clerks where it raised the
salary of one Democratic clerk. He gave
notice that the bill could not be passed
until every right of obstruction LETT un-
der the rules was exhausted.
After an hours consideration the bill
was laid aside without action, and Mr..
Dunphys' bill for the classification of
the clerks. in the. frss and second class
post offices, and for fixing the salaries
of the same, was called up. Mr.. Dun
ply explained the features. of the bill,
which, he said, would necessitate an in
creased appropriation Of 81, $50, 600 year.
The passage of the bill was advocated
by Mr.. Loud, Republican, of California,
and Mr.. Bingham.
At the evening session nine private
pension bills were reported with favor
able recommendations. Tie House then
adjourned until Monday.

Bangor, August 3.-Just before daylight
this morning, Henry Fuller of West Hamp-
den, business man, started fro m his home
to drive into Bangor. and was passing
through a lonely strip Of woods. when two
men whom he met in the road stopped him
and asked him the distance to the nearest
hotel. .Three' miles, answered Mr. Fuller,
as he struck his horse with the reins and
told him to go ahead. One of the men
caught the horse by the bride and threat
eningly approached the ca rriage and
demanded Fuller's money. The West
Hampden man is full of courage and fortune
favored him, as on the wagon seat beside
him was butchers knife of tremendous
proportions. Selling this he leaped from
his carriage almost upon the highwaymen
The sight of the determined man with
blood in his eyes, and knife, foot long,
was too much for the road agents, ndswith

into the bushes. Then Fuller calmly stopped

THE PROPOSED AGREEMENT.
Terms Which 1t is Understood Have Been
Agreed Upon.

Terms Which 1t is Understood Have Been
Agreed Upon.
Washington, August 3.-If any faith
can be put in signs that manifest them
selves about the Capitol, tomorrow will
witness the beginning of the end of the
tariff conference. There is every indica-
tion that the Democratic members will
get closer together tomorrow than they
have at any time yet. This is due to the
fact that the sugar schedule is practical
ly out of the way. Every member of the
conference denies that there has cen
any agreement, but sufficient has
leaked out to show there can be no long
er any reason to doubt they have agreed
to what they will do when the time
comes to act. The House conferees have
always held that there was hidden
away in the schedule of the Senate bill,
protection to the trust that greatly
augmented the differential of one-eighth
that was given them, and they have
agreed that this should be removed. Up
on this basis they made the demand that
the text of the bill should be changed.
In sririt of concession the Senate to
that extent yielded, and now as pre-
pared the sugar schedule will provide
tor the levying of the following duties:
On all raw and refined sugar 40 per
cent ad valorem, the same rate as here
tofore, but with this difference, that
the duty will be based not on the price
per pound whatever it may b., or the
mere pound of the article purchased,
but upon the saccharine strength of the
sugar found in th total amount. If the
sugar is raw, a duty will be collected
upon only thespuree sugar that it con-
tains, and when it comes to collection
of duty on refined sugar instead of a
collection to be made on the value of
the refined article it will be based on
essary to make the refined product In
| this way it is claimed there will be alb
| solutely no hidden protection for the
| Trust, and that nothing can accrue to
| them through the process of refining.
The refiner will be given the differen-
| tial duty of one-ffth of cent pound
or refined sugar, and a discriminating
| duty levied against such contries as pay
an export bounty on refined sugar equiv
alent tosthe amount of that bounty. 1t
| is figured out by those who advocate this
| duty, that it is not any better for the
Trust than the former schedule, al
| though it is denied in other quarters. 1t
is also said the House counferees Will ac-
| cept this as a solution of the problem.
and that they will claim it as victory
| because it does away with alleged hid
| den protection. The next step after
the House agreed to accept this.schedule
was to find out if the refining interests
would take it. 1t is understood that
| senators who have caredBfor this interest
| were consulted and they accepted the
| schedule as tine best that could be had
| and agreed that it would not be antag-
| onized. If this schedule is finally deter
mined on tomorrow, for there is always
possibility of change at the last mo-
ment, it is probable that the remainder
OF 5he blll !; may Dc specify sp disposed of,
ence will be had Monday, and the re-.
port made to the Senate early in the
week. -5+
