Tobacco Strike in Richmond.

RICHMOND, June l6.-About 325 OF the
stemmers employed at the stemmery OF
the Richmond branch Of tho American
Tobacco Company struck this morning
because the company decided TO pay by
the weight of the stems instead Of by
the weight OF the strips taken from the
stems The strikers, who are negroes,
claim that III" eff, CT % the change will
be TO reduce th-ir wages, but The com
pany deny This.
The ?aD,er say That their object is noe
to cut down wages, but to prevent the
nesting of stems in the weighing boxes
and secure the loose tobacco that sticks
to the short pieces OF stem. They
offered TO let the strikers try the ex
pertinent for week and il they were
noe satisfied to 60 back to the old sys-
ten, but the offer was refused. There
has teen no violence, and the company
can get all the hands they want

TARIFF CONFEREES HAVE AR.
RIVED AT THE CROSSROADS.
1t VIII Soon BE Known Wheth t's er:
They Can Agree or Will Report q
B Disngrement-A New Proposition
s Regarding Sugar. Sd

Washing ton, Aug. 4 The understand
ING among the tariff conferces when they
adjourned late yesterday afternoon was,
that tie session to. day should BRING
about either an agreement on the s'15ar.
schedule or decision to report d1sa-
greement. Yesterday was devoted by the
conference to discussion OF the sugar.
question This schedule in detail provides.
FOR q duty Of 40 per cent ad valorem. on
sugar below 1G Dutch standard and ~
per cent on sugar above this grade, the
duty on the refined sugar to- be collected
on the basis of the saccarine strength OF
the raw sugar used in it with. Id Of a.
cent difrerential on the refined and dis
eliminating duty equal to the export duty
levied by such sugar producing countries
as pay bounty on sugar production.
This schedule was submitted to the
conference as the ultimatum of the con-
servative senatars coming through Sem
ator Smith of New Jersey, and the house
corferees We're given to understand that
the schedule was the nearest approach
to the requirements that the senate could
make with any assurance that the bill
would pass in the senate.
Some of the house cenferees were IA
vorably inclined toward the schedule be-
cause they believe that it defines exactly
the extra duty to be paid on refined
sugars and is free from the objection
urged against the senate schedule, that
owing to the wording of the schedule it
was impossible to tell beyond the eighth
of a cent diiferential what the duty would
be on the refined article. They are of the
opinion that the duty in the schedule
presented yesterday will be confined to,
one-ffth of a cent differential. 1t is un-
derstood, however, that while inclined
to accept these figures as the best they
can get, and while considering that in
this they secure an advantage over the
senate schedule they indicated desire.
to consider the question over night, and
that it was on this account that the de-
cision was postponed until to-day.
A report received from an inside source
is to the effect that some of the house,
ccnferees found this schedule objection
able from several points Of view, and
when the time for adjournment was
reached had not only failed to indicate a
willingness to accept the schedule, but
had said that so far as they have been
able to master it's details they considered
it unacceptable. 1t was this expression
OF opinion on their part which left the
situation in such doubt when the confer
ence adjourned and rendered it possible
that instead of an agreement being
reached the result might be disagree
ment. The pressure for a bill is so strong
in the party, however, that the probabl-
lties are all still favorable to an agree
ment on some line. Il, e~.s p -.
The conferees are still in session this
afternoon, but it is possible that some
action may be taken before adjournment
