TARIFF CONFEREES
Dispose Of the Minor Matters
and Then Strike Snags.
White Pine, Sugar, Coal, Wool and
Lead Are Stumbling Blocks.
And cosiesees from Both House and Senate
Refuse 10 Yield.

Washington, July 1.-THE tariff con-
ierees have struck some snags in theil
work. The minor matters were easily
adjusted but there has been no agree.
ment on any important feature and the
outlook today was that several reports
would have to be made before an adj
justment could be reached. The House
conferees are standing solidly by their
Dill and the Senate conferees are nc
less tenacious.
The Senate conferees have laid before
the House members the condition In
the Senate where there is not an ac-
tual majority of the Republicans and
where other than Republican votes arc
necessary to pass the bill or abopt a
conference report. They asserted that
in 1894 the Democrats were in better
shape in the Senate than the Republi-
cans now, as they had a actual major
ity. yet the House was finally COM
PEELED to accept the Senate bill in order
to pass it.
The members of the House are stand
ing by their bill nevertheless, and have
told the senators that they cannot ac-
cept the Senate amendment on many
important items. The more important
features of the bill are not settled and
the conferees find trouble on items out
side of sugar. wool, coal and lead
Lumber has been in dispute and the
House cOnferees have insisted that the
House rate on white pine must be ac-
cepted and they have been supported
in this by Senator Burrows Of Michi-
gan. The House rate was 81 and the
Senate reduced it to 81 The Senate
conferees say that if the House rate is
restored it will provoke q long discuss
sion in the Senate and that no one can
tell when the bill will again get out
Of the Senate
Straw mating the Senate put on the
free list and 1t is an ITEM of contention.
The House conferees have refused to
accept even the rate which was origi-
nally reported in the Senate bill and
Rand fer the House rate. Burlaps, cot
ton ties and other items which were
placed on the free list by the Senate,
net: VIII AGreat hostility from. the
the way ~ II compromise offered by the
Senate members has been accepted.
The House cOnferees are also insisting
upon higher compensatory duties on
manufacturers Of cotton on account Of
the duty Of 20 per cent. on raw cotton.
Th@kHouse members have maintained
that the House bill has been COM
manded more than thaSenate bin and
that the s0onferees She get as close
to it as possible.

At Fall River Charged With Murder o.. Alonzo
Trip, Sunday Night.

Fall River. Mass. July 12-Jeremiah
Manchester was arraigned on charge
of numbering Alonzo Tnpp, in the dis
'trict court this morning.
In the confession which Manchester is
said to have made, it appears that after
the men had drank together they quar-
relied within the scity limits. 1t was
finally agreed to settle the matter when
the border line in Westport had been
passed.
Manchester says Trip approached him
when they reached the spot where the
fatal assault occurred. Manchester there
upon jumped out of his wagon and con-
frOnted Trip on the ground.
Dust how the fatal blow was delivered
the police decline to state. but they per-
nit the inference that when Trip fell
his face was crushed under Manchester's
heel.
Trips body was taken to Westport. to-
day. by his ftpther, to be inferred in the
family cemetery.
