THE TARIFF DEADLOCK.
Conferrees Unable to Agree on the
Sugar Schedule.
BOTH SIDES SEEM DETERMINED.

While the Members Of the House In
sist Upon "the Homo Schedule or
Nothing," Senators Show No Dis
position to Surrender.
Washington, July 1.-THE tariff con-
ferrees are no nearer an agreement on
the sugar schedule. which continues to
be the main bone of contention, than
they were when they began. Each
side Is standing out as firmly as ever
for its own rates. The house conferreas
are convinced that they can win, sup
ported as they are by almost the
unanimous sentiment of their party in
the house, and some of them talk with
resignation Of remaining here all sum-
mer rather than yield to the senate on
this point.
There were rumors yesterday that
the senate conferrees were about to
surrender on sugar but they proved to
be utterly without foundation. Believ-
ing that If the senate itself were per-
mltted to vote on the question 1t would
recede from its rates on sugar, there
was also talk of forcing an expression
on the subject from the senate in some
way for Its effect on the conferrees.
but OH Investigation this also proved
to be little more than idle gossip.
So far as can be ascertained, the
senate conferrees are as determined as
those of the house not to surrender
There is little doubt, however, that
they would accept compromise If the
other side would agree to it. The diff
Guilty is that the house conferrees re-
fuse to entertain any proposition for
compromise. Thus far their ultimatum
has been: 1.-THE house schedule or
nothing"
While the sugar schedule blocks the
way to an agreement the conferrees
have not been idle. Much progress has
been made with the minor features of
the bill, and tentative agreements have
been reached in many Of the important
paragraphs. An influential member OF
the house. who Is kept well advised Of
the situation, said today that IL the
sugar schedule We're out of the way
complete agreement could be reached
in four hours. OF course, there is al
ways the possibility that the confer
rees may get together at any time, but
as yet there is apparently no prospect
of breaking the deadlock, If the pres
ent situation continues ,Sitil Tuesday
or Wednesday next the current onin-
ion among the members of the house
is that disagreement will be report
ed for the purpose of giving each house
an opportunity to instruct its confer
rees on the main obstacle to an agree
ment.

The Dupont,s Remarkable Speed.

Bristol, r. l.. July 1.-THE new tor
pedo boat Dupont. built by the Herre-
shoffs, started out on her official speed
trial yesterday, but through an ac-
cident the trial was, called off. On a
six mile run, however, she developed
the remarkabl estimated speed figure
of 317 knots, the fastest speed made
by any craft in American waters Soon
after passing the starting tug the pis-
ton on the forward engine, which pro-
PEELED the starboard screw, showed a
decided tendency to heat. The engineer
in charge began to throttle down. but
before the engine lost its momentum
the valve was shattered. This caused
a shutting down of steam, and the Du-
pont returned to her wharf.

the season considered Crop prospects
have been improved by needed rain in
some psgions, and foreign advices con-
tinue to promise a large demand. In
many home Industries, particularly In
building, there Is more activity than
In any year since 1899, and the week
has brought better demand In boots
and shoes and in woolens while the

the largest In its history. With money
markets unclouded. there Is nothing in
sight to hinder rapid improvement
when uncertainty about legislation has
been removed, for the miners strike

dustries should become active.
Bradstreets' review says: The dullest
than usual Notwithstanding improve
ment among potters and others. This
is due to the reaction in iron and STEEL
prices of which are back to lowest
points on record, dragging demand
for boots and shoes, and a threatened
famine Of bituninous coal. There are
more coal miners out than at this time
last week, and Notwithstanding asser-
tiOns that arbitration will end the
strike in the near future, some of the
larger operators in the Pttsburg dis
trct declare that there is nothing to
arbitrate.
Manufacturers of cotton goods and
heir agents report trade slow, owing
to higher cost cotton and low prices
for goods. This has shut down num-
Der of cotton mills in Massachusetts,
and in Rhode Island. A fairly steady
business Is reported by eastern manu-
facturers CT shoes. but this trade at
Philadelphia is dull, merchants hcsi-
