ATTITUDE OEsENATE DEMOCRATS
They Want TO See the Bill Passed-RepubIicans
Hesitate In Makisg Partial Report
This May Be Done However.

Washington, July f7.-The deadlock
tver the sugar and other disputed mat
iers stu continues, and the absence Of
any apparent immediate prospect OF
a compromise started the report that the
conferees would 'lagree TO disagree" TO
gall the Democratic conferees today TO
make a report TO both houses on that
line, and 30 ask for further instructions.
There were rumors during the day that
the senate conferees were about TO sur
render on sugar, but they proved TO be
utterly without foundation. Believing
that IL the senate itself were permitted
to vote on the question Ii would recede
from its rates on sugar, there was also
talk during the day Of forcing an ex-
preston on the subject from the senate
In some way for It's effect on the con-
ferees, but this, also on investigation,
proved to be little more than idle gossip.
So far as can be ascertained the senate
conferees are as determined al those OF
the house not to surrender.
There Is little doubt, however, that they
would accept a compromise IL the other
side would agree to it. The difficulty is
that the house conferees refuse TO enter
tain any proposition for compromise.
Thus far their ultimatum has been
'"The house schedule or nothing" While
the sugar schedule blocks the way ~ an
agreement, the conferees have not been
IDLE. Much progress has been made with
the minor features Of the bill, and tenta-
tive 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
thatif the sugar schedule were out of the
way a complete agreement could be
reached in four hours. If the present
|. situation continues until Tuesday or
| Wednesday next the current opinion
among the members Of the house Is that
a disagreement will be reported for the
| purposei Of giving each house an oppor-
tunity to instruct its conferees on the
main obstacle to an agreement.

Senate PrOcee dings.

Washington, July 1.-THE open ses-
sion Of the sc nate was brief and unevent-
full yesterday. The Harris resolution
relating to the Union Pacific railroad
was further discussed.
The senate spent more than four hours
In executive session In an effort to con-
firm the nomination Of M. H. McCord, to
be governor Of Arizona, and adjourned
after O'clock without having succeeded
In that purpose. The failure was due
however, only to the absence Of q
quorum. A vote was secured, showing
20 votes for and II against confirmation
-e less than a quorum.

FIJI a bottle or common glass with urine
and let II stand twentyfour hours; n sedi
ment or settling indicates a diseased con
dition OF the kidneys. When urine stains
linen II Is positive evidence OF kidney

Washington, July 17.-At the Japan

the report cabled from Lndon that the
Spanish and Japanese governments have
entered into an alliance aginst the United
