THE TRUSTS INTEREST
AGREEMENT COULD BE REACH
ED BUT FOR SUGAR.
NO PROSPECT OF AN EARLY AGREEMENT
The Benefciaries of the Bill Will Force An
Agreement Before Long, However,
IF the Matter Has to Go Back
to Both Houses.

Washington, D. c., July 16.-The con-
ferees ON the tariff bill are no nearer an
agreement tonight on the sugar sched-
ule, 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 conferees are convinced that they
can win, supported as they are by al
most the unanimous sentiment of their
party in the House, and some of them
talk with resignation of remaining here
all summer rather than yield to the
Senate on this point.
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 if the Senate itself were permitted
10 vote on the question it would recede
from its rates on sugar there was also
talk during the day of forcing an express
sion ON the subject from the Senate in
some way for it's effect on the conferees,
but this, also on investigation, proved to
be little more than idle gossip. So far
as can be ascertained, the Senate con-
ferees are as determined as those of the
l1ouSC nOt W 1ucLt ID tilllS
doubt, however, that they would accept
compromise if the other side would
agree to it. The difficulty is that the
House conferees refuse to entertain any
proposition for compromise. Thus far,
their ultimatum has been "the House
rate or nothing" While 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 bin and tentative agree
ments 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
chat if the sugar schedule were out of
the way, complete agreement could be
rached in four hours. Of course, there
is always the possibility that the con-
ferees may get together at any time,
but as yet there is apparently no prospect
Of breaking the deadlock. If the pres
ent situation continues until Tuesday or
Wednesday, the current opinion among
the members of the House is that a dis
agreement will be reported for the pur-
pose of giving each House an opportunity
to instruct its conferees on the main OBJ
stacle to an agreement.

WAR SHIPS AT PORT

SUGAR LANDS OF HAWAII
THE BALTIMORE UNDER REPAIRS
The laps Would Find Warm Welcome if They
Attempted to Interfere With Our
Little SCENE of Peaceful
Conquest.

San Francisco, July 16.-The Bulletin
says this evening that it has received re-
liable information that the Navy depart
ment has determined not to be caught
mapping in the event of trouble with
Japan over the annexation of the Ha-
waiian islands. All orders which would
have resulted in moving ships of the
Pacific and Asiatic squadron from head
quarters to distant points have been tenn
porarily suspended. While the author
tiles 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 AS
iatic squadron requesting the feet to
make no move and to hold themselves in
readiness to return to the east or proceed
to Hawaii on short notice. The report
that the coast defense monitors Monad-
mock and Montery will be sent to Homo
lulu is denied and the statement is made
that they will be held on the coast In
quiries have been received at Mare Is
land yards 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 originally
conditions she would not be ready for
service until September next or even
later.
