No Change in Tariff Matters.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The DEM
ocratic tariff conference met ia ses-
sion today at II o'clock and re-
sumed the work of trying to reach
an agreement on the points Of diff
ference.
When some of the members of
the committee came out of the con-
ference committee at , o'clock, they
stated that no p~erceptible progress
had been made, and that to all APP
pearance, the situation was the
same as it had been for the past
Wnnk.

Will Postpone Their Cases.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-With the
present session OF Congress draw
ing to a close and all attention
likely at any time to be concen'
trated upon the tariff bill, it is not
considered probable that the Sen
ate will act upon either the Arizona
or New Mexico statehood bills be-
fore the final adjournment of the
session.
This was the understanding when
the bills were reported from the
committee on Territories, and moth
ing has transpired since the reports
were made to alter the situation in
this respect.

MORE YACHT RACING.
Vigilant Won and Gould's Telegraph
Takes Lots of Valuable

Takes Lots of Valuable
Space to Tell 1t,
COwEs, Isle Of Wight, Aug. e.
With prospects of a splendid days
racing, the Vigilant, Britannia
and Satanita started this morning
in the big event Of the regatta of
the Royal London Yacht club.
The weather was what the experts
call Satanita weather. The course
was a total distance Of about 30
miles. The Vigilant allowed Sa-
tauita 80 seconds, owing to the re-
duction of the latter's sail area,
and the Vigilant allows the Britain
MIA 2 minutes % seconds.
At the outset an exciting contest
occurred between the Britannia
and the Vigilant. The former was
holding a windward position and
the latter tried to pass her, but the
Prince of Wales cutter immediate
ly luffed up and held the Vigilant
for a time and both yachts made
little forward progress.
The Satanita, in the meanwhile,
rapidly forged ahead and the idea
directly struck all spectators that
the Britannia's manouvering in
holding the Nigilant was the re-
suit of a tacit agreement between
the two British captains to work
in unison so the winner Of the cup
| would be a British vessel.
This being a day of Satanita's
| kind of weather, and the Britannia
| having but a small chance OF
| winning, therefore the latter
| could very we'll devote herself tc
| harrassing the American yacht
| This manouever so far succeeded
| that when the Vigilant ultimately
| got clear, the Satsnita was a long
| way ahead.

BEER KEGS.
An Industry That Is Lucrative il
Properly Understood, Though
One Must Be Careful.

One muSt De CdreIul'
The local breweries have been
compelled to engage men with
wagons to 60 about the city collect
ing the stray, empty beer kegs that
will become lost, overlooked by the
regular drivers, who n also
charged with the collection of emp
ties, or have been altogether for
gotten. Each keg costs from Sl.25
to $l.7j to manufacture, and when
a brewery has several thousands
of these kegs the loss is quite APP
probable.
One prominent brewer, in con-
versation with a LIGHT man re-
Gently, said they usually pay ten
cents each for the return of empty
kegs by the gatherers. "Qulte a
nice little living is made by some
men out of this, and the regularity
with which they manage to load
up their little wagons daily is
astonishing. You would think
nobody ever returned an empty
beer keg, or that our driv-
ers were the most careless Of men.
But this is not so. True, there are
a great many private families who
are regular customers and many
who are irregular customers. We
have more than one family on Il
order books who take a "quarter"
keg every Sunday in the year. We
| have others who always have an
eighth" on the Sabbath, and we
| have one customer, a family OF two,
| who regularly have their quarter
keg every Sunday, and sometimes
they run out Of beer and an extra
eighth is ordered before the day is
over.
"Then, you know, everybody
in San Antonio, or speaking
more correctly, a great many
of our citizens, and not
exclusively German, either, when
theyshave a birthday anniversary,
always follow the German style.
and have a keg Of beer consequent
ly, what with all these stray orders
and an occasional picnic or surprise
party, who leave their kegs be-
hind them, there is always some
kegs to be picked by the "stray
keg" men.
"But what astonished me re-
Gently" continued the brewer,
"was the extreme regularity with
which one of our "stray keg" men
brought in his loads; and always
about the same number. 1t
struck us all as peculiar
and so we marked a new
keg we had to send out for delivery
at an outside saloon. Heretofore,
we had not noticed particularly
whether the kegs were weather
worn or otherwise, that were
brought, in but on examination of
recent recoveries by this man a
great many Of the empties looked
suspiciOusly fresh.
"Well, in a day a key becomes
empty at any saloon, so the next
day after we marked the keg l
| spoke of, in came the keg on the
stray wagon. The man had stolen
it from off the sidewalk, and we
| afterward learned he had thus
been able to always find
enough kegs with which 60 com.
plete his loads, and thus reap a
wage of from $500 to $500 per day
right along. lie does not now
gather up the kegs for our brewery,
and l do not think the other brew
cries will give him employment, as,
he has been spotted" and the
moral of this, you see, is the same
old maxium, "Honesty is the best
policy" and then you can always
get a job of collecting the stray
beer kegs or, cutting coupons in Il
ra f1rooI &c nfHpo

AMUSE M E rs.

IMPRRIAL.-The value OF advertising

ment during the week took special pains
to let the public know what kind of q
performance was to be given, in the
daily papers. OF course particularly in the
HERALD, and the result was that by 8
O'Clock last evening, not only was the
s. r. O. sign out, but 1t was impossible
to find place to stand.
The double bill and the living pictures
were found very attractive. Among
the speciality people the Aleene sistsre,
the joyous Larry Dooley, Arhno and the
Burk brothers with their charming
burro. were particularly excellent. Sill
vern and Emerie do some marvelously
clever work on the rings, but the sing
ing by the handsome male member Of
the team should bs remorselsssly and
completely squeched; this would leave
no opportunity for anything but praise
for their performance.
Birdie Brightling pickles the banjolirg
OF which she is announced to be the
queen, most fetchingly, but omitted the
airs to which this instrument gives es.
pecial charm-the negro melodies and
dances.
And then came the living pictures.
The people on the right eide OF the hall
and in the center could zee the tableaux,
but those on the left were left, as the
stage was go arranged that their view
was entirely cut off.
The pictures, with one exception,
were very disappointing. for the models

suit the people, who had formed their
ideas OF hat a living picture should be
from por,rsyas in the dramatic papers
OF the New York productions. The one
excepted referred to was the appear-
ance OF q robustly handsome woman,
the most prominent Of whose attire was
hsnd-mirror.
But seriously, the pictures were for
fret appearance very pleasing, and gave
evidence OF attention to artistic princi.
pies in their posing and color effects.

THE MN FOR MAYOR,

The admirable address delivered by
Mr.. Ryan. the Democratic candidate for
mayor, at Music hall on Saturday even
ing indicates clearly that he has thor
ough grasp upon the important munic-
ipal questions now confronting the
people OF this city. and that his views
are sound and practical. He takes
square positions on every issue. frankly
avows his sentiments, and unhesitat-
ingly declares the principles and pur-
poses which would control his official
sections should he be elected.
Such csndor is most commendable,
and adds another and potent reason to
the many which may be advanced in
advocacy OF his election. No one who
knows Mr.. Ryan can doubt the sincerity
OF his declarations, nor his ability to
perform such promises as lie within
the scope of the mayors powers and
duties.
Nr. Ryan has unquestionably i'm
pressed himself upon the community
as an able, enlightened, progressive cit
izsn. His reputation is above reproach,
his record stainless, and he need fear
nothing from the assaults of political
pirates who seek to accomplish selfish
ends by the assassination of character.
The election of Mr.. Ryan will demon-
state that the people demand thorough
reform in our municipal government; !;
the enforcement OF the citv's affairs
from politics; the inauguration of eco.
nomical, businese methods in every de-
partment; the application OF progress
i've ideas along every line of the city "a
development; and above anu beyond
all, the triumph of the vital question OF
municipal ownership of water works.
Voters and taxpayers may rest assured
that as far as it is possible for the mayo
OF this city TO go, the desirable reforms
and progressive steps above indicated,
and so thoroughly outlined in Mr.. Ry-
aus address, will be brought about. and
that speedily, if he shall be entrusted
with the guidance of the city's destinies
for the coming may orally term.
