The Committees of the Two Houses to Get
to WOrk-Pred!ction of Early Settlement
of Differences Betwt en- the Two Houses

Washington. July The first meeting
of the conferecs on the tariff bill will be
held tomorrow as soon after the represent
tatives of the house are named as poss-
BILE for them to assemble. This and subse-
Qucnt meetings are expected to be held in
the room of the senate committee on
finance, and the meetings after the first
formal gathering tomorrow will be
nearly continuous the physical endur
ance Of the members of the conference
VIII permit.
The minority in the house will make no
opposition to the republican programme or
sending the tariff bill to conference at
once. Both the democrats and pOpulists
see that nothing can be gained by the in
terposition of factious opposition No
definite arrangement has yet been made
to the time to be allowed for debate
when the bill is reported back from con.
ference, but little difficulty is anticipated
on this point.
AS to the length of the conference there
is difference of opinion among the house
cOnfereeS. Chairman Dingley. speaking
of the conference on the Mckinley bill.
said it lasted two weeks and that there
were not as vital points of difference be-
tween the two houses then as now. Gem
eral Grosvenor, ON the other hand, pre-
diets that the bin will be a law a week
from Saturday if the bill goes into con-
ference tomorrow. The rumor afioat to-
day to the effect that the house man.
ayers had agreed to accept the bill as II
passed the senate and thus avoid all
possible delays. Is pronounced absolutely
without foundation. After the bill has
been in conference twenty-fOur hours and
the republicans have had opportunity
to go over their differences and ascertain
the temper of each side with regard to the
main points in controversy it will be much
easier to prOgnosticate the time which
will be required to reach full agree
ment. Probably the most difficult prob
lem the conferees Will have to solve will
be the sugar schedule. The house con-
fereeS will make a strong stand for the
house schedule, which they claim has
been received with approval by the re-
,publicans and the republican press of the
country generally On the subject of
hides the house Conferees are disposed to
yield. but not to the full extent of the
duty imposed by the senate. The senate
fixes the duty at 90 per cent. ad ValOrem
Some of the members of the house talk Of
Il compromise at IL per cent. n CONS
promise on wool rates also appears
probable.
The republican repreSentatiV of the
senate in the conference express the Opin
Jon that the conference will be very brief.
I'VE ought to conclude the conference IN
four tive days" said Senator Aidrich.

In Honor of Betsy Ross.
Story of Man Who Was Given Up to
Die by Seven Physicians-He Fol-
lows the Advice of Friend
and Is Now Well Man

A memorial in honor of Betsy
Ross, who made the first American
flag, has long been lacking, and the
patriotic public will. undoubtedly JOIN
heartily in the movement which is
now inaugurated by the Patriotic Sons
of America and the Junior Order
United American Mechanics to erect
such memorial, patriots all over the
country being requested to lend then
aid and support to the plan. This
honor to the memory of the good dame
Ross would be most appropriate, and
Paramount Park would be q fitting
place in which to place the proposed
memorial. AS the kind of memorial
has not yet been determined upon, q
suggestion is not out of order. Why
do not these patriotic societies raise q
fund and purchase the house in which
the first American flag was made and
have it removed to some appropriate
spot in the park? No moro fitting
honor could be paid the memory of
Betsy Ross than the preservation OF
her old homestead for all future gen.
erations. A valuable historical edi.
fee, in which the whole nation is in
terested, would be sa.ed from
destruction at the same time by this
-Philadelphia North American.

Book by General Washington.

One thousand dollars has just been
paid in this city for small sixteen.
page pamphlet, minus the cover and
otherwise dilapidated. 1t is the work
of George Washington, and, save for
two other copies, the last known sur
vivor of It's edition. 81
The $1,000 pamphlet was printed at
williamsburg, the old capital Of Vir-
ginia, in 1754-5, according to the date
upon the title. page. The Govern.
ment printers Of the old dominion
were the publishers and George
Washington, Esquire, Colonel of
Militia" is set down as author. 1t
would be, save for it's associations, q
very uninteresting work, consisting
solely of q soldierly and altogether
matter-of-fact account of Washington's
expedition, under the orders of
Governor Dinwindle, to inspect the
frontier forts along the Ohio River.
On his return from the expedition
to the forts Washington laid his re-
port before the Colonial Governor,
and was permitted by that functionary
to have it printed OF the Govern:
ment's expense. Accordingly Colonel
Washington set to work and worked
his report into shape, the result of
this, his first literary effort, being
the pamphlet described. The pur-
chaser of the pamphlet is bibliophile
of international reputation. The sale
was negotiated through well-known
New York book dealer.
For generations the pamphlet had
lain, obscure and unvalued, in an un-
important private library. It was
generally supposed that only two
copies Of Washington's first essay in
authorship existed, and within the
past fifteen years both Of these copies
had come up for sale-one of them in
the Brinley auction of 1882 fetching
$3.50, and the other being bought for
large price by the Lenox Library
Trustees. York Sun.
