The conferees on the tariff bill hope to
complete their labors early next week. They
have been holding day and night sessions
and were at work four hours on Sunday.
There is said to be reason for believing
that several of the main points of conten-
tion will be compromised. This is espec-
tally believed to be true of lumber, hides
and wool and possibly sugar, though on
the latter the House conferees are stand
ing particularly firm for their schedule. On
the subject of reciprocity the drift of opin-
Ion seems to be in the direction of the Sen
ate substitute, but with certain of the
House provisions that is, that the list of
articles which can be used as a basis for
reciprocity treaties will be broadened, but
that the Senate provisions requiring the
ratification of the treaties will be discard
ed
The provision for the tax on stocks,
bonds, etc, will be retained undoubtedly.
Owing to the large importations in antici-
patton of the passage of the bill and the
imposition of higher rates Of duty, the rev.
enue will be seriously affected the first -
months, and the tax on stocks and bonds
was introduced to partially make up for
this deficiency. 1t is estimated that about
100000 will be collected from this
source.

Speaker Reed Interferes
To Stop the Sugar Scandal i'm the Tar
in Conference.
LFrom the New York HeraII Of Wednesday.l


From the New York Hera of Wednesday
Speaker Reed has interposed his power
full authority to stop the sugar scandal in
the tariff conference committee room.
He has given the Republican conferees
on the part of the House to understand
that if they yield to the Sc ate on this
schedule their report will be / danger of
being rejected by the House, ven if such
an action might jeopardize the passage of
tariff bill at this session of Congress.
AS a result the compromise agreement
on the sugar schedule which was practi-
cally reached yesterday is now off, and it
is impossible to predict what the outcome
will be.
The Senate conferees, with the excep-
tion of Senators Aldrich of Rhode Island,
and Jones of Nevada, would gladly yield
and accept the House sugar schedule in It's
entirety. These two senators are standing
out strongly for the Senate schedule, and
the position of Senator Jones as a free
lance, without party ties or responsible
ties, is such that unless his demands are
acceded to he may be able to indefinitely
delay the adoption of the conference re-
port in the Senate.
Republican leaders outside of the confer
ence room have been appalled, at the scan
dal which they have seen this proposed
compromise in the interest of the Sugar
Trust would saddle upon their party, and
Speaker Reed, in placing himself in oppo-
sition to it, has the support of practically
the entire Republican membership of the
House and of the majority of his party in
the Senate,

Cut Down the Price of Armor Plate.

The price to be paid for armor plate for
the three new battle ships now in course of
construction was the theme of extended,
and lively debate in the Senate Tuesday.
An amendment to the deficiency appropria-
tiOn bill was agreed to finally, restricting
the price of armor plate to $500 a ton, or
$125 less than the amendment report by
the committee and recommended by the
navy department as the minimum rate ac-
ceptable to the armor contractors. An
other amendment inserted in the bill di-
rects the secretary of the navy to investi-
gate as to the establishment of a govern
ment armor factory and to report to the
next session of Congress. During the de-
bate Mr.. Hale urged that the failure to
equip the battle ships with armor would
humiiate the United States in the eyes of
the world, and would lessen our naval pow
er at time of possible foreign compica-
tions. After inserting the armor amend
ments the deficiency appropriation bill, the
last of the great supply measures, was
passed. There was a tilt between Mr..
Hale and Mr. Butler of South Carolina,
the latter claiming that the plate which
had been furnished for the Oregon and
other vessels was defective.
Mr.. Pettigrew of South Dakota, spoke
of the evidence taken before the committee
on naval affairs, showing conclusively, he
said, that armor plate could be made for
$3.50 a ton. Notwithstanding this, the ar
NOR factories, being in colusion, refused
to make armor for $500, and demanded
$425. Instead of opposing the trust, Mr..
Pettigrew said, the naval committee now
proposed to accede to its demand. 1t was
a procedure too disgraceful to be tolerated.

100000. Our total trade with Cuba in
1898 amounted to $102, 1854, 2O4, of which
one-third was exports. 1t was but little
less the following year, but in 1895 military
operations reduced it to $50, ,G7S, ,020. Last
year there was another heavy decline, with
an aggregate at the close of S45. .54S, ,G10, a
falling off of over 80 per cent in three
years. The returns for the first three
months of the present year exhibit a con-
tinued and very heavy decline. They indi-
cate that our entire trade with Cuba in the
year 1897 will not exceed S2O,OOO,O0O. As
matters stand the strife in Cuba is costing
us in trade more than million and half
dollars a week, and the small remnant of
once flourishing commerce is likely to be
further reduced

Bering Sea Controversy.

Secretary Sherman has sent to Ambas-
sador Hay despatch giving the position
of the administration in the Bering sea
controversy.
The secretary expresses the disappoint-
ment of the President at the rejection by
Great Britain of the American proposal for
a joint conference to adopt means to pre-
serve the seal herd. Mr.. Sherman says
with regard to the report of Professor
Thompson, the British expert: at is not
pleasant to have to state that the impartial
character which it has been the custom to
attribute to the representations of natural
lists of high standing has been greatly i'm
paired by the apparent subsection of this
report to the political exigencies of the
situation. 1t is further to be regretted
that the report was so long delayed that no
opportunity was afforded this government
to examine il before the definite and final
rejection of the Presidents proposals,
based mainly upon its conclusions, was
communicated to me. This conduct re-
calls the incident which preceded the arbi-
tration at Paris, and which came near rem
dering that arbitration abortive when a
similar report of British commission was
withheld until after the case of each gov
ernment was exchanged and the report of
the American commission made public"

"the maintenance of the status quo of

A Jonesville lvt3 Man Swept Away in
the Flood.

The heavy freshet caused the death of
Jonesvile man. Mr.. and Mrs. Orrin Jen-
nings went down to brook near their
house to move back large kettle. Both
had hold of the utensil, when they heard
noise from above. Looking up, they saw
a large tree coming down the brook, and
before they could move, it had swept them
into the stream.
Both held to the tree for a time. Fl
nally Mr.. Jennings said, 81 have got to 60 !;
look out for yourself" With those words
he let go and the waves closed over his
head.
A neighbor, Henry Muzzy, noticed that
the Jennings's were not about their place.
Finding nobody at the house, he went
down to the brook and found Mrs. Jen-
nings on rock, where she had crawled,
with one leg broken, and otherwise terribly
injured. She was cared for, and search
was begun for Mr.. Jennings. He was
found in some floodwood with several bad
bruises on him. The terrific force of the
brooks current can be Judged from the
fact that tree ten feet in diameter was
torn up by it. This same stream damaged
Noah Preston's farm to the extent of
$1,000. Jonesville has not seen such
flood for 40 years. Roads are completely
washed out. The farms of Dan Palmer,
Will O'Neil and F. f. Briggs are ruined.
