 Her Trial Trip.

Boston, Mass, July 15.-Under the most unfavorable conditions to-day the new revenue cutter, Daniel Manning, proved herself to be valuable addition to the marine by making an average of fnearly1S knots an hour in a fourteen bours test in Massachusetts. The trial was the official one of the boat and it required 12 hours under forced draught, two hours under natural draught.
 The boat started from the wharf of the builders, the Atlantic, promply at : o,cIock. and steamed rapidly out of the harbor and arrived off Boston light about 8 o'clock. A course of twenty one nautical miles had been laid off Cape Ann and over this course the Manning started.

sUGAR THE STUMHLING BLOCK.
Tariff Conferees Endeavoring to Harmon
 ize Differences.

iZe Differences.
 Washington, July 15.-The tariff con- ferees were in more hopeful mood to-day than yesterday and one of the leading representatives of the senate expressed the opinion at noon that the republicans would be able to conclude their labors tomorrow and to summon the democratic members by Saturday. This view, he said, was justified by the
 present appearance of things, but he added that there were still many con- tingencies that might arise to prevent so early an agreement and that 1t was impossible to say precisely when the end would be reached. We shall
 come out all right, however, and I think soon," he added. We have a tedious Job, but 1t is not hopeless one | and there is no foundation to the re- ports that we are in danger of not reaching an agreement"
 l The day was spent in considering | minor details of the bill which have been passed over, with an occasional | reference to the differences on the sugar schedule, which Is still the stum- bling block. There was some discussion 1 of a compromise on this schedule and the general impression about the sen- 1 ate was that the changed aspect 1T.
 the committee was due to the fact that
 there was more yielding disposition
 on the part Of the representatives of l both houses. Senators not In the con
 ference, but in close touch with the
 members of 1t, express the opinion to-
 day that the contending factions are
 very near an adjustment which will | compromise the differences on the
 sugar schedule
 On the house side, on the other hand,
 among those in close touch with the
 conferees 1t is asserted with the utmost
 positiveness that the house conferees
 have no intention of yielding anything | to the senate on the sugar schedule
 and the opinion is freely expressed that | the deadlock will continue indefinitely
 until the senate yields The house con | ferees, they say, know that they have | practically the unanimous support of
 the house republicans back of them in | their contention for the house schedule
 and moreover they claim that many
 of the senate republicans agree with | them on this point.

THINK IpE WANT TO FIGHT.
How the London Post Regards Secretary
 Sherman,s Message.

 London, July 16.-The Post in an edi- torial on the Sherman dispatch says: Every indication points to the cer-
 tainty that Great Britain will be com pelled to fight for her existence against the United States as soon as the Amerf- can government believes that war can
 be safely begun.
 "Our duty is to make sure that 1t
 comes by no fault of ours and that 1t shall find us united and prepared. The respite will in all probability be the time needed for the creation of a more
 powerful American fleet say three or four years or for the creation of polit- ical combination with some naval
 power, say as many months. The or
 ganization to sustain such a contest may be short. The time to face the sit- uation is not in three years or three
 months, but now"
