THEY WILL PROBABLY DISAGREE
No Likelihood That the Tariff Conforees
Can Come Together

Can Come Together
WASHINGTON. July 1.-THE full con.

Guiding tho Republican conferees, me b
at o'clock in the room OF the Senate
committee on finance. Prior to their
meeting it is said THAI CORN an and one
or two other Sena tors. W no have achieved
prominence for their conservative"
course in the constru ton OF the tariff
bill, called the Democratic members
into committee room and warned them
again that under no circumstances must
they recede from the amendments the
Senate had made to the House bill.
Should they do SO and thereby change
the com plexion OF the Senate bill, tho
conferees were told that upon their
shoulders must rest the responsibility
for the defeat OF the bill in the end
The conference ad journed At 3:l5 I'm
til o'clock to morrow without doing
anything beyond discussing the general
situation. There is little likelihood Of
an agreement, and tho general impress
sion OF those who were in the committee
room is that the report, when made, will
be disagreement on all the essential
points in the bill. It Is also said that
the House conferees were standing out
because the President is behind them
and is insisting thai the House bill ana
not that OF the Senate shall become the
tariff law OF the land.

Carlisle Takes Rand In the Matter.

WASHINGTON. ID c., July 17.-Secre-
tary Carlisle, it is understood, will give
decision within q few days to resume,
to limited extent. the coinage of
standard silver dollars at the mints of
the United States. Since the repeal of
the Sherman silver purchase law last
November silver coinage has been
virtually suspended. only about 500
silver dollars having been struck of
bearing the date OF 1894. This coinage
OF silver for the remainder OF this year
will not probably exceed $4,000, OOO It's
coinage will not affect the amount of
money in circulation, as for every dollar
OF silver coined 81 silver certificate
will be recorded. The coinage, how
ever, will increase the silver seiginorage
now in the Treasury but still uncovered.
This now amounts to about SIS, 0O0, 900.

a curious provision of nature that the

why Red Ahrers q c6lI.

The reason why anything of a red
color excites and infuriates animals of
the OK family is because red is the
complimentary color of green, and the
eyes of cattle being long fixed on the
green herbage while feeding, when
they espy anything red it impresses
their sight with greatly increased
intensity. No doubt the SAME effect
is produced upon all grazing animals
by being suddenly confronted with the
color red, but oxen and bulls, being
more pugnacious, show greater ex:
citement. and will even attack that
which surprises them.
