STILL NOT AGREED.
Nothing Important Decided by
Tariff Conferrees.
STRUGGLE OVER WOOL AND SUGAR.
All Schedules WIN Remain Open Until
the Final Agreement --- Proposals Of
Each Side on Wool Duties-Penroso
TeIegraphed For Carpet Men.

WASHINGTON, July 14.-The repre-.
sentatives of the two house of congress,
in the conference on the tariff bill,
have been working hard on the sugar
and wool schedules, and the best infor.
nation obtainable is that final agree.
ment was not reached upon either
Senator Platt N. ", who has been
absent most of the time since the bill
went into conferences, returned and was
in close conference much of the time
with Senator Quay.
At one time the senate and house
conferreCs separated, the house men
repairing to the ways ana means com.
mittee room. Il was generally be.
lieved that this action on the part Of
the house men was for the purpose Of
deciding upon q line OF policy on sugar,
but they declined to give out any infor.
nation,
Contrary to published reports it is
positively asserted that the sugar sched.
ule has not been agreed upon and in
fact that all the big questions before
the conference which have seemingly
been settled are only tentatively agreed
to, one side or the other insisting that
they shall be held open.
Nothing will be finally closed so far
as the matters of importance are con.
cerned until all have been decided upon
and the cOnferrees are ready TO come to
a complete agreement.
It is believed that the wool schedule
can be settled whenever other matters
have reached q stage for final adjust
ment. The senate cOnFerrees are ready
to compromise the differences on first
and second class woods by making them
both dutiable at II cents and a com.
promise on third class woods has been
suggested by house members of the
conference, concerning which they eX.
press the hope that il will be satisfac-
tory TO both the woolgrowers and the
carpet manufacturers, but this is not
assured.
This compromise proposition looks to
fixing rate of 3 cents pound on all
wool of a value less than 10 cents a
pound; of 3 cents on wool valued at
more than 10 and less than l3 cents a
pound and of s cents on that above 13
cents pound in value. This PROPOSE.
tion was submitted to the representa-
tives in the senate of both the wool.
growers and the carpet manufacturers
and both sides took the matter under
advisement. Senator Penrose, repre-
senting the carpet men, telegraphed
for some of them to come to Washing.
ton for conference.
The attempt of some of the house
conferrees to secure an increased rate
on skirted woods has failed. The ques-
tion of jute, jute bagging, burlaps, cot
ton bagging and cotton ties, which the
senate placed on the free list, is still
causing much trouble The house con-
ferrees insist that these items shall 90
back on the dutiable list, and the sen.
ate conferrees plead that if they are
put back delay must be the result in the
senate.
If the conferrees can reach a com.
plete agreement by Friday, one of them
said he would be more than satisfied.

REDUCED ARMoR PLATE PRrce.
A Lively Debate In the Senate Occurred
over the Matter.

A Lively Debate In the Senate Occurred
over the Matter.
WASHINGTON, July lathe price to
be paid for armor plate for the three
new battleships now in course of con-
struction has been the theme of an ex-
tended and, at times, lively debate in
the senate. An amendment to the de-
ficiency appropriation bill was agreed
to restricting the price of armor plate
to $500 per ton, or 1925 less than the
amendment reported by the committee
and recommended by the navy depart
ment as the minimum rate acceptable
to the armor contractors.
Another amendment inserted in the
bill directs the secretary of the navy
to investigate as to the establishment
of government armor factory and to
report to the next session of congress
During the debate Mr.. Hale urged
that the failure to equip the battle
ships with armor would humiliate the
United States in the eyes of the world,
and would lessen our naval power at a
time of possible foreign complication.
After inspecting the armor amend
ments, the deficiency appropriation
bill, the last of the great supply meas.
ures, was passed.

CoLuMBUs, July 4.-President Ratch.
ford declares he is confident that the
West Virginia miners will strike.
Nine organizers have left here to
work in West Virginia. Six of these
were sent by the American Federation
of Labor. It is believed the II men
will be able to get the West Virginia
miners out, aided by the West Virginia
organizers.
Then Comos the following good news

ing!
Miners all out on strike here"
Pennington Is an important point in
the West Virginia coal fields, and local
operators believe that the strike will
now spread into West Virginia.
Mr.. Phillips said: "Ihe people do
not realize how serious this strike is.
There is not enough coal on hand TO
supply the market more than week
or ten days longer. The miners have
accomplished moro than they expected
to and more than we ever thought they
could accomplish. They are in posi-.
ton to dictate. If this strike is settled
it will be when the operators go to the
mine workers. The latter do not have
to go to the operators. l think the rail
roads Will soon refuse to haul West
Virginia coal If the trainmen do not
refuse to handle Il"
Another operator who had been in
Pittsburg said he believed the West
Virginia miners would come out and

Schick Miners Went Out without Being

WHEELING, July l4.-The expected

ing men. They listened to his argu-
ments and have joined the strike
Manager Turnbu II objected to the pres.
ence of Lewis on the company's prop
erty and for time there was prospect
of trouble then and there, but Mr..
Turnbull saw how things were going
and said he did not care if his men did
quit. These mines supply Baltimore
and Ohio engines with fuel. The com.
pany will now be compelled to get its
fuel from West Virginia, as Schick's
was the only mine in Eastern Ohio that
was running this week.
Matters are quiet in the mining dis
tricts along the three big coal carrying
roads in Eastern Ohio. So far the OPP
orators have made no move toward
running the mines with imported labor,
which it has been said would be used
in the event of the prolongation Of the
strike, and the strikers have not ret

WASHINGTON, July 14.-Because some

complete Secretary Bliss was unable to
lay before the cabinet his proposition
20 revoke the order made by President
Cleveland closing some of the pension

The currency commission message
did not cause any discussion, because il

this can be done without interfering

Any Hostile Move of Japan VIII Settle
the Matter.
WASHINGTON, July 14.-There is no
uneasiness among the friends of the
annexation of Hawaii in congress about
the situation. Neither the attitude of
Japan nor the persistent opposition of
the sugar trust, it is believed, can
weaken the position of the administra-
ton.
The foreign relations committee of
the senate is to meet today and Senator
Davis, the chairman of the committee,
said that he was going to try to secure
a favorable report on the Hawaiian
treaty at that meeting if quorum
could be obtained.
1t is not the present expectation that
the treaty of annexation will be taken
mp at this session, but a situation exists
which may hasten the matter. 1t is
believed that if the attitude of Japan
toward Hawaii becomes more Chreaten-
ing 1t win force annexation at once,
though the friends of annexation will
not be in haste, unless developments
render speedy action necessary.

Lake Erie, when approached upon the
subject as to whether the Ohio roads
would refuse to haul West Virginia
coal, said
1--WE are not refusing to haul, and l

movement on foot among the roads"
Mr. Wardwell, the receiver of the
Cleveland, Canton and Southern rail

West Virginia coal to haul and have no
disposition TO refuse TO haul it.. How.
ever, do not know what labor contin-
gency may arise in the near future that
will make it convenient to refuse to
haul coal.
Chief p. M. Arthur of the Brother.

roads were going to refuse to haul
West Virginia coal and was asked
whether the engineers had filed any

He Is Condemned For His Part In the

LONDON, July l4.-The parliamentary
South Africa commission that has been
inquiring into the Transvaal raid has
agreed upon its report.
The Pail Mall Gazette publishes a
summary of the conclusions of the COM
mittee. The report will express an en-
phatic opinion that, whatever justifica.
tion there might have been for action
on the part of the people of Johannes
burg, there was none whatever for Ce-
Gil Rhodes conduct in subsidizing, Or
ganizing and stimulating an armed in
surrection against the government of
the Transvaal.
A heavy responsibility, according to
the report, remains with Rhodes, des.
pite the fact that at the last moment
