reticent today, and listened without COM
Tent to the statements made by the Sen
ators. There was no JOY Of exuberance
exhibited by either side. and House mem
bers who were present merely said the sit
uation was critical
A member of the wavs and means COM
mittee, who is MT one of the conferees
states that strong sentiment was de-
velOped In the House IN favor of recalling
the House conferees and passing the Senate
bill, as grave fears were entertained that it
vas dangerous to continue the contest much
longer. He said that in all probability a
call for caucus wouldfbe circulated today
and that II an agreement had not been
reached by Tuesday night the caucus would
probably be held at that time, with a view
to the passage of the Senate bill.
An Executive Session.
The House democratic tariff conferees went
to the ways and means committee room
soon after the general conference with the
Senators ended. the stray members and
visitors retired, and the four House con-
ferees held ar executive session 1t was the
first time they had met in this way, and it
was taken to indicate q purpose to decide
upon line Of action. There was much
conjecture also as TO the possibility of a
definite proposition having been submitted
by the Senator'S. end a purpose at this
meeting of House conferees to accept or re-
ject 1t.
1t was stated positively by House con-
ferees that the meeting with the Senators
had been confined to a general going over
Of the subject. and no agreement was
reached on iron. coal OR sugar. 1t was also
stated that the republican coaferees would
be called in at the next meeting on Monday
At 1:30 o'clock the executive session Of
the House conferees had assumed import
ant proportions, and was regarded as the
turning point Of the tariff struggle The
four cOnferees had taken off their coats and
had settled down for long. and 1t was be-
lieved, a decisive movement.
1t was said by those in position to know
the drift of affairs behind the closed doors
that the meeting would probably last until
D o clock, and that Chairman Wilson and his
three associates were face to face with the
plain proposition Of whether or not they
would accept the Senate bill or nothing
The utmost secrecy was observed, but it
was SAID that the final answer to this de-
cisive question was likely to be reached be-
fore the House conferees separated, and
which ever way the decision went the fate
of the tariff bill would be decided.
The democrats of the conference will
meet on Monday again and possibly in the
afternoon the republican members will be
called In

SECRETARY LAMONT's RETURN.
But There Is Great Secrecy About II
at the White House.

Secretary Lamont returned to town this
morning suddenly and Unexpectedly, and
resumed his residence at the White House,
as the Presidents guest. few days ago
he went to his home at McGrawville N. Y,
to visit his family, who are there for the
summer, and he was not expected to re-
turn to Washington until next week at the
earliest. He did not visit the War Depart
ment today. and it was said there and also
ct the White House that he was not in the
city. His return is marked with great Sc
crecy and mystery, and that very fact
started all sorts of senatorial stories, of
which the one receiving the greatest
amount of credence is that the President
summoned him here to assist In bringing
about speedy agreement in the confer
ence committee on the tariff bill. The most
singular feature OF the case Is that, not
withstanding Secretary Lamonts presence
in the White HOUSE nearly all day, none of
the officials at the mansion, from the high
est to the lowest, would admit that such
was the case.

CONGRESSIONAL, INVESTIGATION
No Present Prospect for Action ON tn
Strike.

1t Is the present outlook that the resolu-
ton reported from the House committee
on commerce fpr an investigation of the
cause of the great railroad strike looking
to legislation to- osprevent recurrence of such
troubles will not result in action this ses-
sion. Although the commerce committee
had the floor yesterday. the resolution was
not brought forward, because it was known
that 1t would lead to a warm debate and
block the way so that the other bills of
the committee could not receive considera-
ten. Members of the committee do not ex-
pect to be able to get . day for the bill
this session. and II they could secure more
time would prefer to devote II to the Mica
ragua canal. Moreover. the interest in the
strikes has subsfded very rapidly since their
collapse. and there " not the desire for an
investigation that there was before PFesi-
dent Cleveland appolnted the commission.

gard to the situation.
The diplomatic representatives Of the
United States in China, Japan and Corea
are very remiss in their duties during the
existing international crisis in Asia, or else
the officials of the State Department are
stretching the bounds of diplomacy to the
utmost when they say, day after day, that
they haven't heard word from any of
the countries, regardless of the fact that the
press dispatches from the orient tell of
daily events fraught with the utmost i'm
portar ce to all the civilized nations of the
earth. The official statement frequently
repeated at the State Department and at the
Chinese and Japanese legations that no
notice has been received of a declaration
of war between China and Japan is not
of SO much significance as might at first be
supposed. for the reason that officials gen
orally do not expect formal declaration
OF that character to be made by either ma
ton. They will gradually drift from dplo-
matte disagreement into open hostilities.
and will wage war on each other without
world to that effect. The French campaign
against the black flags, which was waged
with vigor for six monhs. and incidentally
involved the blockade of Chinese ports, was
not preceded or accompanied by a declara-
ton of war, and, in fact, it is said that i'm
these modern tim IS the form of a declara-
ton is not usually adopted. Hostile ma
tions simply drift into war, and are fully
This practice has the commendable ad
vantage over the old form of a declaration
of war of permitting the combatants to
patch up their differences more easily by
the. arts of diplomacy, and also enables
them 20 diSaVow consequences.

The COrean King.
1t is admitted in diplomatic circles here
that the King of Corea is virtual prisoner.
but it is insisted that actual possession OF
his person has not been taken by the Japa-
nese troops. 1t is stated that the palace
of the Corean king is surrounded by large
grounds. and that around this the japanese
have placed an armed guard, so as to con-
troll the movements of the king. In de-
fense of this action il is explained that its
purpose was to prevent the king from being
taken by the Chinese, the Japanese fearing
that their rivals would take the king away
then would have the titular representative
Of the Corean people in their power and
could Induce him. IL is declared, to issue
manifestoes, &c. favorable to the Chinese
