John Z. Doyle, tie popular young oi-
cycle dealer was reported missing on
WcdResday night, and until his return home
last evening his family and friends were
unCeasing iii their efforts 10 locate him.
]! seems that Mr.. Doyle left his home
on Wednesday, without declaring his in
tcntion 10 remain away for any length
of time The idea occurred 10 hini @hile
on his wheel To go TO a nearby Virginia
town in search Of wheel which had
been stolen from him and was reported
to be at that place. He calculated 10 be
able to reach Washington before daybreak
on Thursday, but because OF unexpected
obstacles which aIuSe and the bad con-
diIon OF the roads he was delayed. In
the meantime, his wife had become alarmed,
h;s nuuerous wheeling and business friends
were informed, ana all parties joined III
a thorough search OF the city. The 20
lice were notified to look out for Mr.
DOYie. Speculaiiuns as to the dealer s
whereabouts or fate We're rife, but all
anxiety was removed by his walking in

the conferees were correspoudfngiy happy
over the probable solution of this knoJty

Yesterday another snag was stTGcN in
tie opposition of the manufacturers OF
the cheaper grade of carpets who Insist
that the wools used Ey them are OF such
low grade that the duty of ceats Is
onerous aud should he Teduoed 10 ) cents.
This objection has not yet heen settled.
The manufacturers cc worsted are also
up in arms over that provision which
makes The duty on washed wools of the
second class double The ordinary duty.

operates as a hardship against taeia. Fron

Discussing the general situation yester-

enough to admit that they are having q
warm time at the meetings, and while it
is possible the deadlock may be broken by
the end of the week, Mr. Dalzell fears the

week
Mr. Dingley told a member Of the House
this morning that matters were in an IN
certain state He said an agreement might
| be reached in twenty-four hoars, ana the
| conference on the other hand might drag
| along a couple Of weeks
An attempt was made TO obtain a state
ment from Speaker Reed today, but he
positively declined to say anything for
| publication. Privately the Speaker has
| complained bitterly to some OF his po-
| ltical friends that the Senate is making
| too many demands at the expense of the
House, and it is reported that Mr.. Reed
is so mad that he says he is willing to
remain here all summer and far into the
fall rather than permit Mr. Aid
rich and Mr.. Jones OF Nevada
TO compel the House to accept the
