had been fruitless in reaching any basis
OF agreement. The Senators had been un-
yielding and tthe House men had been
equally determined. Nor was any middle
ground proposed which gave a hope for the
future. 1t was a deadlock IN every sense
of the word. Members of the House ex-
pressed misgiving, as they had hoped the
basis Of agreement ahead, even If it was
not actually reached. The Republican
House conferees smiled broadly when they
returned TO the House fifteen minutes
after the appointed hour for the full con-
ference. To their waiting associates they
explained that the full conference had
lasted only a minute. Senator Harris, they
said. had stated that there were "a few
items on which the Democratic conferees
had not agreed He had not specified
the items, but the Republican conferees
had gathered that they were sugar, coal
and iron ore The Republicans seem to
think the deadlock is not likely TO be
broken very soon.
The full conference committee on the
tariff met shortly after l o'clock and on
suggestion of Mr.. Wilson Ii was decided
to adjourn to meet at the call of the
chairman, the statement being made that
the Democrats were unable TO agree
among themselves as yet, and that further
conference OF the full committee would
avail nothing

A SERIOUS AFFAIR.
News that the Japs Had No Excuse
for sinking the Transport.

LONDON, July 30-The Chinese legation
has received a dispatch from Pekin say
ing that there was no provocation what
ever for the recent attack OF the Chinese
fleet by the war ships OF Japan. In spite
Of the official assertion from Yokohama
that Japan ships were not injured during
the engagement, it is announced in the dis
patch alluded 10 that the japanese war
ships suffered considerable damage. The
news that the Kow Shing was flying the
British flag was received with great sat
isfaction at the Chinese legation, where
it was predicted that the sinking of the
steamer by a japanese cruiser would give
an entirely fresh turn 10 the Corean affair.
1t was said that Great Britain and Ger
many were bound to notice this breach OF
neutrality. The Globe, to-day, takes a
similar view of the and says:
Japan had no excuse for firing the
English flag. War was not declared, and
breach Of neutrality" At the japanese le-
cation the seriousness Of the affair was
admitted, but the news OF the sinking OF
the Kow Shing was not believed.
The English merchants having dealings
with the Chinese evidently do not intend to
allow the commencement of hostiities be-
tween China and Japan To pass without
trying 10 make the most OF this opportu1i-
ty of increasing their bank accounts.

BURNED AND SIZZLED
NICHOLAS EUNIS FELL AMONG A
NUMBER OF ELECTRIC WIRES.
Sickening Sight for New York Pedes-
trians, Who Almost Beheid
Open Air ElectrOcutiOn.

NEW YORK, July 30.-While Nicholas
Eunis. a tinsmith. was at work repairing
the roof of the New York Ophthalmic In
stitution he received terrible injuries from
electric light wire that he accidentally
cut. The first intimation that something
unusual had happened was when DIR. Hugh
Kidder, of the institution, noticed the
odor of burning flesh, and, going to the
roof, saw a terrible sight. Helpless and
with his clothing ablaze, Eunis was lying
face downward on the roofs Big tongues
of flames were thrown high into the air
above his body, coming from the broken
ends of the wire. Eunis, evidently over
powered by the shock. did not utter a
cry. In some remarkable manner the
wires caught him so that he could not
move. One end had entered his left arm
just above the elbow and another had
pierced his right side under the arm pit.
Another cr- ID his breast. DR.. Kidder
shouted for help as he ran to the mans
assistance Eunis'S weight proved too
much for the Doctor, and he was unable
to lift him.. In trying to do so he him
self shocked by the wires. Meanwhile
crowd had gathered in the street and
looked in horror at the sight on the roof
but were unable to help the unfortunate
victim. Finally William Kelly made his
way through the institution and got TO the
roof He and the Doctor managed to drag
the man out. Both shocked and
burned about the hands i'm tearing the
clothes off Eunis's body. Deep holes had
been burned in his body where the wires
had held him, there was a broad burn
across his breast. his hair was burned off
and all the skin from his face, neck and
shoulders. Some had sent alarm
of fire out, but not until the man had been
dragged from the wires grasp did any one
think of having the current turned off. An
ambulance from Bellevue Hospital re-
sponded to the call, and after Eunis's in
juries had been dressed he was taken
there. His condition is critical.

WASHINGTON, July 30.-The Senate

WHY KT WAS CHANGED.
Announcement of Caucus Call Simply
Little EnrIy for Some.

Little Early for Some.
WASHINGTON, July 3O-The time for
the House Democratic caucus has been
changed to Thursday afternoon. A report
to-day that members had withdrawn their
names from the petition in sufficient num-
ber to cause the caucus to be abandoned
proved incorrect. Representative Brook
shire of Indiana, withdrew his name on
the ground, it is said, that Tuesday was too
early. Mr.. Springer says a caucus is al
together desirable at the present time and
that 1t will be in the line of precedent Of
caucus action always heretofore had during

While the Mills bill was pending" said
he, 1--WE caucused almost daily. In the
present contest the Democratic Senators
have been caucusing constantly, and their
present resistance is the result of caucus
action in which they agreed TO stand to-
gether. II is rather singular, therefore.
that there should be any question as to the
desirability of having the House Democrats
get together. When the banking commit
ering the State bank question caucus was
called without consulting me, and a caucus
resolution was passed favoring a State
bank bill, to which / was opposed. But |

there be exception to move at any
time to get an expression from the entire
Democratic representation In the House
Certainly this sentiment is what should
guide and direct the conferees who act for
the House. and in my judgment 75 per
cent of the Democratic smembers of the
House feel that way
Mr.. Springer has been asked If he had
consulted Speaker Crisp or Chairman Will
son as TO the caucus. To this he has ans
wered that he has consulted no one and
did not feel called upon to do so. He had
proceeded as a Democratic member of the
House, and in this way executing what
was known to be the indication of a large
proportion of the Democrats of the House
Chairman Holman, of the Democratic eau
Gus committee, says the only question as to
