The TARIFF CRISIS.
Senate Conferrees Hold an I'm
portant Consultation.
Report Of an Agreement Apparently
to Be Verified.
Republican Members Prepared to
BE Called to the Conference.


WASHINGTON. Aug. 9.-The tariff
conferrees remained In session until "A
few minutes past IL o'clock to-day, and
when they adjourned the Senate con
ferrees proceeded to the Presidents
room, where they held a private consul
tation free from Interference or inter-
ruption.
a report soon gained general circula-
ton to the effect that an agreement had
been absolutely arrived at and that 1t
was on the lines of the understa nding
which was reached last night that iron
ore should be made free. coal made
dutiable at 40 cents per ton and that the
compromise sugar schedule would stand.
The indications point to a verihcation
of this report.
The Republican members of the con-
ference had not, at 1880. received any
formal notification to attend a meeting,
but they had received an intimation
that a full conference would be held
this afternoon. and Immediately began
consultations with the leaders on that
side OF the chamber, apparently with
the view Of preparing themselves for
the final conflict. which they believe to
be at hand. .
A petition was to-day circulated
among members of the House Of Repre-
sentatives. urging the House tariff con-
ferrees to stand by free sugar and a
permanent income tax. Representative
Bland started the petition. and It was
numerously signed.

INSANE AND A SUICIDE.
Disclosures of the Autopsy on the
Dowery Bay beach Unknown.

ing made an autopsy on the body of the
man who drifted ashore, with his hands
strapped together, at Bowery Bay
Beach, yesterday afternoon, DR.. A. c..
Combes. gave it as his opinion to-day
that the man was insane and had COM
mitted suicide.
The doctor said that he found that
the man had been suffering from dys-
pepsia, and that he had had nothing to
eat for at least day before he was
drowned. The doctor Is convinced that
The man was out of his mind. and, from
the manner In which his hands were
tied he thinks he manacled himself and
then sought death to get relief from his
sufferings. .,, A.,
man killed himself. and they think that
possibly he escaped from some Insane
ASYLUM The fact that he had nothing
in his pockets, and that his hands were
soft. showing that he did not perform
manual labor, Is looked upon as confir-
nation OF this theory.
Coroner Brandon Will hold the BODY
for some time, and Will probably COM
municate with asylum authorities, pro-
vided the body Is not identified soon.
The inquest will be held next Wednes-
daV.

Lead to n Court of Inquiry.

SAN FRANCISCO, Aug. "a large
iron caisson. which closed the dock at
Mare Island Navy-Yard, broke from Its
fastenings last night and fell outward,
sinking out of sight. Through careless
ness a large quantity of water was let
in the big basin after the docking of

When the tide went out the weight OF
the water inside forced the heavy Gals
son outward. tearing 1t from the fasten-
ings.
The caisson was built ten years ago
at a cost of $50, 900. 1t Is likely there
