Washington, July 31.-The prospects
of an agreement on the tariff we're
much improved today.
For the first time in many days, the
House Democratic conferees came from
the meeting with the statement that
previous irreconcilable differences were
in process of amicable adjustment.
With much satisfaction, the House
members stated to their associates that
the senators had shown a disposition,
for the first time, to meet the House
half way.
AS to when full agreement would be
perfected, there were some differences
of opinion.
One House conferee said it would
probably be this week. Another thought
| it would be "soon."
Chairman Wilson would not even adj
nit the understanding had gone far
enough to warrant the prediction of a
speedy report He said, however, that
the conferees had at least done bust
ness and made progress today, which
was more than could have been said
of past meetings.
The Senate conferees came from the
ness of the House members. They
said the conference was as far from an
agreement as it had been.
While 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 some substan-
tial foundation.
One of the conferees said that while
no final agreement had been made on
iron, coal and sugar, yet sufficient had
been developed in conference to show
that an agreement could be reached on
these three most important items
which would be acceptable to the Sem
ate and House conferees and to the
House of Representatives Whether it
would be acceptable to the full Senate
this conferee expressed some doubt.
In this connection it developed today
that Senator Caffery, of Louisiana,
who has been most active on the sugar
question, had long. and it is said,
satisfactory, conference yesterday with
Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson.
While the House conferees were so
pleased at the bright outlook, their
senatorial colleagues contented them
selves with saying that while they
were hopeful of reaching an under
standing, nothing had transpired in
conference to base this hope upon.
They declare that upon the essential
items of disa greement the conferees
are as far apart as they ever We're.
An increased hopefulness that a bill
will be agreed upon is noticeable, how
ever, upon the part of Democratic SEN
ators who are not members of the
! conference. One of the leading con-
sentative senators said, as he was
leaving the Senate chamber tonight,
that the tariff bill would be finally
agreed upon by next Monday, and he
added that the bill would be virtually
the Senate bill.
The day developed the possibility of
a report of partial agreement and
while this report at first appeared as
a vague rumor, it's probability was af-
forwards confirmed by senators who
are not members of the conference
committee.
The fact that the conferees had the
schedules other than those relating to
sugar, coal and iron ore under consid-
Grafton today is one fact in confirma-
ton of the report.

San Francisco, July 31-The Morn
Ing Call prints a long article, in which
it is alleged that the postal depart
ment of the United States government
has. at least indirectly, gone into the
ready-made clothing business.
1t is alleged that the department Of
ficials at Washington have been US
ing their authority to further the in
terests of certain manufacturing
firm in Philadelphia, and the letter
carriers throughout the United States
have been politely informed that it
would be TO their interest to purchase
their uniforms Of this particular firm.
The Call states that about three
months ago the postmaster in San
francisco received a communication
from the department at Washington
TO the effect that Fechheimer Bros,
OF Philadelphia, probably made the
finest uniforms for letter carriers on
earth. The postmaster of San Fran
cisco was kindly asked to inform his
carriers of this fact. Postmaster Bac-
kuS, however, simply posted the notice
Op Where the carriers might see it,
The carriers read it and talked about
II, but sent no orders TO the PhiladeI-
phia firm They had always before
given their orders to San Francisco
firms. But, the Call says, the men at
Washington We're persistent. A Sec
ond and more urgent request came
that the carriers send their orders to
Fechheimer Bros. The second notice
was very polite, but to the point. The
carriers seriously discussed the mat
ter among themselves and concluded
that it would not be best to offend the
department authorities at Washing
ton
The result, the Cali declares. is that
the carriers now have new uniforms,
which they were compelled to order
and which they did not want These
uniforms were ordered of Fechheimer
Bros. of Philadelphia.

FOREST FIRE Ar SAN JOSE.

Kansas City, July 31.-In the termi-
nal court at Independence today the
trial of Cashier Sattley was resumed
with President James c. Darragh on
the witness stand undergoing cross-ex-
animation.
The prosecution questioned Darragh
closely in the hope of strengthing the
net in which, for the last month, il
has been endeavoring to entangle
Cashier Sattley.
President Darragh has proved him
self to be a clever sparrer and has
been successful in giving plausible an
swers to each question with which the
prosecution tried to entrap him.
The state expected to greatly
strengthen its case by the cross-exam-
ination Of Darragh, but it is falling
short of its expectation.
When cornered by the states attor-
ney, Darragh's memory fails him.

of how the American girl can take care
of herself
1t was on the trip to Bay Ridge, and
the evening was rapidly growing dark
er. She was not more than IL or Is
Years old, extremely pretty, with slen-
der, graceful figure, large gray eyes,
and a well-shaped mouth. She seemed
Ito be hurrying home to some place on
Long Island after being delayed in the
lcity, and she was slightly nervous. She
| took a seat on the afterdeck near a
family group, as if she wished to be
near women, and at times she glanced
lanXiouSly at the falling evening shad-
oWs
The boat was near the end of it's jour
lney, when a young man, rather fiashily
dressed, stalked up and took a seat
very near her. She was looking in an
other direction and did not notice him.
When he spoke to her she turned with
la little start.

smlrk, but may / ask you question:"
| She looked at him, but made no an
swer
Il should like to ask you a question, -
he said, pausing again, as if expecting
a dozen men near who looked as IF it
would give them pleasure to pick the
fellow up by the neck and drop him into
the sea, but no one moved Everyone
seemed to feel that the young woman
was perfectly capable Of taking care'-of

lily, with little indescribable smile
around her mouth, which could not be
mistaken

comfortable, IF you had any objections
to my sitting here?"
She half turned away as if his con-
versation was ended
DO you mind he said, "if Il"
She turned slowly and gave him an
other look. 1t was very calm and un-
perturbed, but there. was an unspeak-
able meaning in the glance. He got up
and sneaked away. She had not spok-
en- word. Her eye had not even flash
ed. She had looked neither indignant,
helpless nor frightened, but he had fled
in CONSERVATION. She turned with no
sign of emotion and leaning her elbow
Ion the rail so that her hand rested on
q pretty cheek, looked at the lights
5own the bay, as if she were enjoying
the lovely evening.

word that a bloody conflict has taken
place in Tachira between customs house
officials and Venezuelan smugglers who
were endeavoring to smuggle arms in

chief Of the frontier militia and has
censured the state government of Los
Andes for failure to cooperate with
the customs officers and prevent contra
band trade.
Governor Fernandez resented the
federal interference, saying it was un-
constitutional, whereupon President
Crespo declared martial law in the
province and appointed DR.. Vicar

despatched 100 men in command of
Generals Morales, Arayjo, and Baptista

The committee expects to make its final
report within a very short time, possibly
tomorrow. Senator Gray, chairman of the
committee, said today the committee had
examined all the witnesses that could
be found, and it appeared there was now
nothing left for them but to report the
results of their investigations to the Sen
ate. He said the committe had been anx-
ieus to secure the attendance of Batter
shall, the man who is alleged to have
taken Senator Carnden's order, but he was
by persuasion to come before the commit

attendance, he being out of the jurisdic-
ton of the United States. 1t is under
stood there will be two reports, Senators
Davies and Lodge uniting in one and
Gray, Lindsay and Allen in the others.
besides which Senator Allen will also file
additional views of his own.

DAUDENTs PARIS HOUSE.
He Lives BecominsIy, But Is Simple
and Accessible.
[From McClure's Magazine. ]

[From McClure's Magazine.J
Though now grown wealthy, and one of
the first personages in Partisan society,
being the most welcome guest in such
exclusive drawing rooms as that of the
Princess Mathilde, the simple and good
hearted Alphonse Daudet is the most ac-
cessible man in Paris. l don't believe
that any one is ever turned away from
his door. u
He lives in the fashionable Faubourg
ST German quarter. on the fourth floor
of a house IN the Rue de Bellechasse,
which is reputed to possess the most ele-
CANT staircase of eny apartment house in
Paris. 1
His apartment is simply furnished and
IS IN great contrast to that of lola or
Dumas STILL there are not wanting for
its decoration objects of art, and espec-
tally may be mentioned some fine old oak
furniture. To the right Of the table on
on which he writes is a Normandy farm
treasure in itself. The table, like that
of many other successful men in Paris,
is very large and highly ornamented
one, reminding one of an aiEar; while the
chair which is set against it, though less
throne like than that of Emile lola, is
stately and decorat tive.
Daudet'S study is the most comfortable
room in the house. The three windows
look out on pleasant Sdruen, anu, as
they face the south, the sun streams
through the red embroidered lace cur
tains nearly all the day. The doors are
draped with oriental portieres; a heavy
carpet covers the floor, and the furniture,
apart from the work table and chair, is
for comfort and not for show. Daudet's
favorite place when not writing is on a
little sofa which stands by the fire place.
When the master is seated here his back
is to the light.
His visitor sits opposite to him on an
other couch and between them is small,
round table, on which may usually be
seen the latest book of the day, and-fcs
Daudet is a great smoker-cigars and
cigarettes. There are few pictures in the
room, but there is a fine portrait of
Fraubert to be noticed, whilst over the
book shelf which lines the wall behind
the writing table is a portrait of the
lady to whom Daudet confesses that he
owes all the success as we'll as all the
happiness of his life, the portrait of Nine.

WILL RESIST THE TAX.

New York, July 31-The city will resist
the tax for the care of the insane, on
the ground it is unconstitutional.
The city pays for the care of its own
insane, and has not, heretofore, been
compelled to pay any part of the state
tax for the care of the insane of other
counties. The state this year is trying
to force the city to pay this extra tax,
which Mayor Gilroy says is taxation
without representation or benefit.
