TIIE TARIFF DEADLOCK
Oonferrees Unable to Agree on the
Sugar Schedule.
BOTH SIDES SEEM DETERMINED.

While the Members of the House In
sist Upon ''the Home Schedule or
Nothing" Senators Show No Dis
position to Surrender.
Washington, July 17-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 conferrees
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-
mitted to vote on the question it would
recede from its rates on sugar, there
was also talk of forcing an expression
on the subject from the senate i'm some
way for it's effect on the conferrees,
| but on investigation this also proved
TO he 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 a 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: "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 Oi
the house, who is kept well advised %
the situation said today that If tho
sugar schedule were 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, bu
as yet there is apparently no prospec
of breaking the deadlock If the pres
ent situation continues Igtil Tuesda!
or wednesday next the current opin
ion among the members of the hous
is that disagreement viii be report
ed, for the purpose Of giving each hous,
an opportunity to instruct its confer
rees on the main obstacle to an agree
ment.

James Crockett, sturdy old Scotchman,
living i'm Detroit Mich. at SO Montcalm
Street, was asked about his wonderful cure.
First" he said, / must tell you some
thing of my life before my almost fatal sick
ness. | was horn in Scotland i'm 1872, and
came TO this country in 1S4S. / am a marine
engineer by trade. In 1872 / was in the
employ Of the Detroit and Cleveland Navi-
CATION Co., and for fifteen years / was chief
engineer on one Of their big passenger
steamers. My first boat was the II. n. Rice,
which was burned at the docks. Then ]
was transferred to the Rubic, which was
chartered to make the run between Detroit
and Cleveland.
"I brought out the new steamer the City
Of the Straits and for years acted as her
chief engineer. lt is great responsibility,
the position Of chief engineer on those big
passenger palaces. Thousands Of lives are
held in the keeping Of the engineer. The
anxiety causes a great nervous strain, and
the strictest attention is necessary. Not for
q moment must he lose his watchfulness.
" For fifteen years / carefully watched
the big engines and boilers without a single
accident and only noticed that 1 was getting
nervous. Suddenly without warning / was
taken sick, and in less than a week / was
prostrated. / had the best Of physicians.
! grew gradually worse and at the council
of doctors, they said | had nervous prostru-
ton and had destroyed my whole nervous
system and would never be able TO be up
again. They said I had worn myself out by
the long nervous strain caused by watching
and worrying about the machinery. For
three long years / was unable to move from
my bed without assistance. The doctor said
] had locomotor ataxia, and would never be
able to walk again.
"The pains and suffering 7 experienced
during those years are almost indescribable.

STORM At ST. LOUIS.
Streams I'm suburbs Oycrhow-Houses
submerged-FataIi

ST. LOUIS. MO. April Last nights
rain-storm was one of the heaviest In TINS
vicinity in the past year. and the wind at
times reached the velocity Of over forty
miles an hour. The rainfall IN the
suburbs caused the small streams to rise
al an alarming rate, and I'm some places
they rose above their banks and over
flowed the adjoining territory to depth
of several feet The suburban tracks OF
the Frisco railroad were flooded to the
depth of two feet and trains were tenn
porarily abandoned Through trafilc II
being operatedl over the tracks Of other
roads The River Des Peres, in the west
ern suburbs. ordinarily a small stream,
overflowed its banks, and submerged
several houses i'm the lowlands. George
W. Tate, aged TO- living at Brentwood,
was awakened by the food, and found
that his house was succumbing TO the
waters. He seized his daughter Nellie,
aged 6. In his arms, and jumped from
a second-story window. He was carried
into the swift current Of the river, aud
both were drowned.
The River Des Peres rose 10 the height
of fifteen feet in the southwestern part
of the city, and overfiowed adjoining pro-
perty to the depth of from two TO SIX
feet. The brlck-works at Cheltenham,
seven miles southwest Of ST. Louis, are
flooded to the depth of three feet, and
the fires in the furnaces have been drawn.
About forty men employed In grading
suburban property were camped In 'oW-
land near the suburb of Brentwood, and
were awakened by the rushing waters as
they flooded their tents. The men made
a rush for skiffs and reached adjoining
high ground. About a dozen Of them,
however. are missing this morning, and
it is feared they were drowned. The
mounted police are making search of
the district, but state that they are un-
able to locate the missing men. Ine
