YARDS TOBE CLOSED.
THE ASSOCIATION YARDS NOT ex-
pECTED TO BE OPEN TO MORROW.
The Stonccutters Unwilling to Accept the
New Scale, Hut II II believed That
All VIII lie Adjusted.

Unless overtures TO the Richmond
Branch of the Granite-Cutters National
Union are made Monday by the pro-
prietors of the eight yards In the Stone
Contractors Association Of Richmond and
vicinity. none OF the stonecutters In those
yards will remain ut work.
For five weeks there has been dis
agreement between the two organizations
in regard to wages, due TO the fact thas
the contractors submitted new scale.
This scale, II Is understood. ranges from
50 per day down to 1928 per day, and the
employees express the belief that 1t would
eventually abolish piece-work- Under the
old understanding, It was optional with
the contractor whether he would pay s.
per day or by piece-scale.
THE UNION IN SESSION.
Last night the local union Of granite
cutters held a meeting at Lee Camp Hail,
and after a full discussion Of the situa-
ton. lasting until nearly midnight, the
following was given out for publication:
"All we have to say In connection With
the matter Is that the contractors sub
mitted a scale OF prices which We cannot
accept in justice TO our families ana
ourselves as mechanics. We are now
lower In our scale than the majority OF
the leading cities. We wish to state that
the term strike does not apply to the
difficulty, as the employers stated In their
communication that IL we did not accept
their terms their yards would be closed
to us. JAMES NJ. BlIOUNI'
president Richmond Branch Granite
Cutters National Union.
~. l.. Brennan, Secretary"
NO WORD RECEIVED.
Officers Of the union stated last night
that no communication was sent to the
meeting from the contractors, and there
fore there was nothing left for their or
ganization to do but take the above STAND.
They also requested that the fact be en-
phasized that the union did not demand
that every member of 1t be paid y per
day. The piece scale was, they said, on
the basis OF 50 per day for good men.
but It did not follow that every man
could make that much Men not worth -
could be given piece-work.
No feeling has been exhibited over the
matter, and the members OF the union
express the hope that everything VIII
work out amicably. The contractors hold
a similar position, and while the yards
may be idle tomorrow. 1t Is not believed
that there will really be either a lock-
out or a strike.

Mr.. BRICE LACONIC.
THE OHIO SENATOR ON THE TARIFF
BILL CONFERENCE.
He SAYS There Will 10 Report wednes-
dsy-Then Request for Further
Conference.

WASHINGTON, ID. c.. July Ex-senator
Brice was laconic tonight when AGED
for information as to when the tariff con-
ferrees would report. 1.-THE report ne
said. will be made to the two houses on
Wednesday OF next week. The conferreos
will report n disagreement and both
houses will instruct for another confer
ence."
When asked II he ala not think there
would be q partial agreement, he replied
that he did not, as no inclination had
been manifested to make divided re-
port Other senators also predict that n
report will be made during the week, but
they are not so positive as To the day,
and some Of the members OF the COM
mittee. In their conversation with news
paper representatives, whatever they may
say to their fellow-Senators and Repre-
sentatives, discourage the idea that a re-
port may be expected during the week.
They say that II Ia yet too early to say
when a conclusion will be reached by the
Democratic cOnferrees. without taking
into consideration the possibility OF delay
after the Republican members OF the
conference are invited 10 participate IN its
proceedings.
On this latter point Senator Aldrich
said tonight that N. when the Repubii-
cans are asked into the conference. IL
should appear that the Democratic scna-
torial conferrees had made concessions to
materially alter the complexion OK the
bill. they would certainly ak for full in
formation as 10 the reason FOR the

ties were that considerable time would
be necessary after the fun conference
before the report could be made. II, how.
ever, Senator Brlcs is correct In his pre-
diction that thcre will not be a divided
report, and that the report made viii
simply state the fact OF a disagreement.
there would seem 10 be no reason for the
Republican conferrees demanding a pro-
longed consideration in committee.
SUGAR.
With reference 10 the proceedings OF
the conference to-day II can only be
stated that the sugar schedule has con-
sumed the greater part II not the en-
tire time Of the committee. and that the
work has been devoted largely on the
part OF the senator's to persuade the re-
representatives. TO consent 10 the retention
OF the 1-Sc differentlal on refined
sugar. Inquiries have also been sent
out by the conferrees as 10 how much
less than 40 per cent. ad valorcm would
satisfy the sugar producers. The Lou
isiana members OF Congress say nothing
whatever can be yielded from the 10 per
cent rate, and the response 10 the con-
ferrces was to that effect.
While It is true that during the week
almost every schedule in the bill has
been under consideration. 1t Is a fact

THINKS HE CUT HIM.
Mr.. vaughan's Exciting Experience With a
Negro.

About 9 o'clock last night while Mr..
Vaughan, who lives at No. 5l2 east Leigh
street, was in his room dressing, the door
was quietly opened and in walked tall,
burly negro. Mr.. Vaughan was very
much surprised at seeing the man, and
asked him what he wanted. The darky
appeared TO be confused and replied that
he was looking for Mrs Johnson. There
being no Mrs. Johnson in the house, Mr..
Vaughan at once suspected that the negro
was there with burglarious intentions,
and lie attempted to hold him until an
officer could be summoned.
The negro resisted violently, and In the
struggle that followed lost his hat and a
bundle. He made his escape, however.
Mr. Vaughan had a razor in his hand
when he grappled with the intruder, and
he thinks he cut him on the arm.
The hat and bundle were taken to the
Second District staton-house, but there
was nothing to indicate who the owner
was. The police are investigating the
case
