NAVAL ORDERS HERETOFORE
ISSUED RECALLED.
All Available Vessels Will Be Kept
at Ports Where Orders Can Reach
Them at Short Notice-Monandock
and Monterey Will Be Held on the
Coast Instead of Being Sent to
Honolulu, as Intended.


San Francisco. July 1.-THE BuIle-
tin says this evening that it has re-
ceived reliable information to the eff
feet that the navy department has de-
termined not TO be caught mapping in
the event of trouble with the japanese
over the annexation of the Hawaiian
Islands.
All orders of the department which
would have resulted in moving ships
of the Pacific and Asiatic suuadrons
from headquarters TO distant points
have been temporarily suspended
While the authorities at Washington
deny that there is any effort to keep
all available vessels at ports where
orders can reach them at short notice.
naval officers admit that such a
scheme is being carried out. and that
orders have been issued to the Asiatic
squadron requiring the feet to make
no move and to hold themselves in
readiness TO return to the coast or pro-
coed to Hawaii on short notice.
The report that the coast defense
monitors Monnannock and Monterey
will be sent to Honolulu is denied and
the statement is made that they will
be held on the coast.
Inquiries have been received at Mare
Island yard from headquarters as to
the condition of the cruiser Baltimore,
now undergoing repairs there, with the
view of putting her in commission in
case of emergency, although under or
binary conditions she would not be
needed for service until September
next or even later

Washinton. July 1.-THE only report
obtainable from the conference on the
tariff bill today is 20 the effect that
the representatives of the two houses
are sill at odds On the sugar schedules,
and that while there are still many
matters of minor Importance undeter-
mined, the sugar schedule is the only
obstacle in the way of speedy settle
menl There was quite movement in
the senate today in the interest of the
house sugar scasdule, with the evident
purpose OF bringing pressure TO bear
upon the senate conferees to yield upon
this point and accept the house scne-
dule.
Tonight the conferees are no nearer
an agreement on the sugar schedule,
when 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 conferees are convinced that they
can win, supported, as they are, by the
almost unanimous sentiment of their
party in the house, and some of them
talk of remaining there all summer,
rather than TO yield 10 the senate on
this point.
1nere were rumors during the day
10 surrender on sugar, but they proved
to be utterly without foundation. Be
lieving that if the senate itself were
permitted 10 vote on the question ii
would RESIDE from its rates on sugar,
there was also talk during the day of
forcing an expression on the subject
from the senate in some way for its
effect on the Conferees, but this, also,
on investigation proved 10 be little
~
ascertained. IL sanaIe conferees are as
determined as . Sse of the house not TO
surrender Iaeee is little doubt, how
ever that they would acceps 2 COM
promise if the other side would agree
TO il. The difficulty is that the house
conferees refuse to entertain any pro-
position for compromise. Thus far,
their ultimatum has been The house
schedule or nothing
W nile the sugar schedule blocks the
way to an agreement the conferees
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 tonight that if the
sugar schedule were OUT of the way
complete agreement could be reached in
four hours. OF course, there is always
the possibility that the conferees may
get together at any time( but as yet
there is apparently no prospects of
breaking the deadlock.
If the present situation continues I'M
til Tuesday or Wednesday next, the
current opinion among the members of
the house os that a disagreement will
be rer54.ed for the purpose of giving
each house an opportunity to instruct
its confsrees.

M,CoRD,s CASE.
Considered By the Senate In Execu-
tive Session.

Washington, July 16.-The senate
spent more than four hours in exc
cutive session TO-DAY, in an effort to
confirm the nomination Of NJ. n Nc
Cord to be governor of Arizona, and
adjourned. without having succeeded in
that purpose. The failure was due,
however. only to the absence of a quo
rum.
A vote was secured showing 26 votes
for and II against confirmation, eight
less than a quorum.
The contest was over McCord's rec
ord as developed by the investigation
of the committee on territories, and
was made by Berry and Teller, while
Messrs Davis. Carter. Spooner and
Kyle took the lead in McCord's behalf.
The opposition was based on the plea
that man against whom there were
so many charges should not be ele-
waited 10 so high an Office until he was
absolutely cleared of the charges. 1t
was asserted that the committee had
refused TO make an investigation OF
some of the charges, and that the Nc
Cord family had made an immense
fortune out Of land legislation in his
congressional district in Wisconsin, for
which he was responsible.
1t was declared on behalf of the
committee that its inv 7eigation had
been thorough, and il IS said it
should be sufficient to II I've Mr.. Nc
Cord from the aspersiens upon his
character Senator SDooner devoted
himself 10 the charges in connection
with the Wisconsin lands. known as
the Omaha Indian lands. He said that
it was true that McCord's brother hal
been prosecuted for his connection with
the supposed frauds. Senator Spooner
had been the attorney for his brother

Piftsburg, July 16.-Dullness at the

TRUE UNIFORMITY.
May Eventually Win In the Pitts

PTttsburg, Pa. July 16.-True uni
formity may eventually win in the
Pittsburg mining district, through the
efforts of the peace commissioners, but
il is expected that it will require sew
eral weeks, perhaps months, TO secure
Little has advised that no time limit
be put on the movements, as at the

the arbitrators expect 10 work is to get
thirteen lake shippers Interested first.
These will be banded together TO force
the smaller operators into line by we'll
known bushes methods. Every wire
will be pulled TO bring firms and men
into line.
The position of the miners officials
in this new phase of the strike move
ment is queer. NJ. D. Ratchford, the
national president, has persistently re-
fused to come to Pittsburg for a con-
ference. In his communications to the
district officials. ne has said that he
did not believe the agreement could be
tnrown cold water on the scheme.
President Dolan and Secretary War
ner have cut loose from their national
executive in the movement and propose
to give it their hearty support.
Cameron Miller. an ex-official, and one
of the officers taking an active part in
the last movement of the kind viii also
give the plan some attention.
Mr.. De Armit, in naming the list of
operators in the Pittsburg district has
included those whose names are on the
Pennsylvania road in the fifty mile

their signatures to the documents. and
those whom he cannot get to sign, he
believes some agreement can be
reached with them whereby they Will

compelling operators to pay for coal
mined before screened, which is known
as run-of-mine coal. This removes
one clause from the uniformity agree
ment, as uniform screens was one
of the leading features. The operators
will have their attorneys review the
law to ascertain if it is constitutional,
and it will play an important part in
the agreement. The operators, almost
to a man, are opposed to it.
