Many Discensions-Speaser Reed Holding
 Out for House Rate on Sugar.
 Washington, July 14.-The conferees on the tariff bill found themselves to- day apparently further apart than they were at the beginning of the confer ence There was no immediate pros- pect of agreement, and more than one member stated that the entanglement was such that the settlement might be indefinitely prolonged. They state in & very reserved manner that there are numerous questions of difference, but refuse to go into details. From all that can be learned, however, there has been a general recession from the partial agreements made on the important schedules.
 It Is said that Speaker Reed is hold ing out for the house schedule on su- gar. The house conferees insist that this schedule must be definitely fixed before other questions shall be again taken up. One of the other questions of secondary importance upon which sharp indifferences have arisen Is the senate amendment for 8 stamp tax on stocks and bonds. The house opposes the amendment, but the senators, while not welded to it, insist upon 1t as nec- essary for revenue. The house Is also resisting strenuously the 20 per cent. duty placed upou hides, and is at the same time perslstently holding out for restoration of gunny bags, cotton ties, etc, to the dutiable list.
 &f,r, rIy1,N toT1 yad xxytf of the conferees said: They are in a temporary deadlock, and are tied up all along the line. It looks as if the situation might remain unchanged for a week.
 While this appears to be a correct outline of the situation to-day, the pre- vailing impression Is that settlement of one or two important schedules would be speedily followed by a com plete adjustment of all of the differ ences.
 The contending forces on the wool schedule, the carpet manufacturers and the wool growers, outside the confer- ence have practically reached an agree ment which it Is presumed will be rati- fled by the conferees. This agreement provides for the restoration of the house rate, of 111s cents respectively on first and second class wools and on the third class article the wool men agree to the proposition of the carpet makers to extend the dividing line from ten to twelve cents, making the rate on wools of this class with less than twelve cents dutiable at four cents pound, and those worth more than twelve cents du- tiable at eight cents. This increases the rate on all the higher grade wools which is agreeable to the wool men, and holds the carpet wool down to a figure acceptable to the manufacturers.

CROSS AGAINST CRESCENT
IS WHAT TURKISH OFFICIALS SAY
 OF PRESENT SITUATION.

An Indemnity of G6, ,O00, ,o00 Agreed Upon
 as the Extreme Limit of Turkeys Con-
 cession-Sultan Issues an Trade Com-
 manding Peace Terms to be Signed To-
 day-Believed to be Ruse to Gain Time.
 Constantinople, July 14.-Important ministerial councils were held on Sum day and Monday, at which an indem- nity of S6,000.000 was agreed upon aa the extreme limit of Turkeys conces- sion. The agreement was sanctioned by an imperial trade The councils fur ther prepared a report stigmatizing the concert of Europe as "a league of crosa against Crescent"
 The sultan after considering the re- port, answered by the Following trade < T am convinced that the effort and energy of the powers are directly en- tirely towards the maintenance ofi peace and the prevention of fresh com plications. In these circumstances. 1t is the plain duty of Turkey. whose senti- 1nents are likewise pacific, to put am end to the present abnormal situation.
 Consequently command the minis. ters. if possible to find the necessary means for concluding the negotiations and to sign the pre1iminaries for peace by Thursday
 The foregoing is authentic, but is res garded as ruse intended to delay a de- cision, although in some quarters 1t haa9 led to the belief that to-morrow's coun- ell will decide to meet Europe's views on the frontier question.

A London Newspapers Pessimistic View
 of the Outlook.
 London, July 14.-The Evening Stan dafd regards the situation in southeast ern Europe as extremely grave. and says there is no doubt, unless appear ances are most deceptive, that hostili- ties between Turkey and Greece will shortly be renewed.
 The paper says: Perhaps we may be at the beginning of a general Euro pean war"
 Referring to the broad question of an attempt by Europe to coerce Tur- key, the Evening Standard says: 50 Tar as England is concerned, public opinion does not favor going to war for the sake of Greece. Perhaps the best way out would be to make a com promise with Turkey; for the existing deadlock is slowly but surely ruining Greece. We have before us the terri Die prospect of 8 European wal; and 1t is not worth running such a risk for the mere sake of rehabilitating Greece"

Derby Avenue Bridge Weakened.

Director of Public Works Beecher yesterday afternoon received notice that the high water in West river caus- ed by the heavy rains had weakened the west abutment of the Derby ave nue bridge across West river so that the bridge was unsafe for travel MT
 Beecher sent men to investigate and they reported that the abutment had been weakened, but not to such as de- gree as to make 1t necessary to close the bridge to travel. The bridge will be repaired as soon as the high water subsidies. About one half of the west end of the bridge is in the town of Or ange and the other half is in the town of New Haven. The east end of the bridge is all in the city of New Haven.

SENATE IN 4 DEADLOCK.
On Question of Disposing of Union Pacific
 Government Lien,

Washington, July 1.-The senate was in a deadlock for several hours to- day with business at a standstill while calls of the senate, roll calls and other parliamentary expedients were resorted to. It was due to the effort to secure action on the resolution of Mir. Harris of Kansas, designed to prevent the dis posal of the government lien on the Union Pacific railroad under the terms of an alleged agreement
 There were many roll calls on the motion of Mr. Harris to consider the resolution, quorums appearing and dis appearing and from 12 to 5 o'clock no final vote on the motion was secured. After 8 o'clock g. parliamentary discus- sion was indulged in, Messrs. Morgan and Harris speaking for and Thurston and Gear against the resolution. The resolution finally went over until to- morrow.

DOUBLE DROWNING Ao0IDENT.
Two Boys Lost Their Lives in an Attempt
 to Rescue a Family.


 West Enosburgh, vt.. July 14.-A double drowning accident under very distressing circumstances occurred here this afternoon, sad incident of the sudden rise of the river John Dow and his family live on the river bank, and the water during the night came up so quickly that 1t flooded the lower story of the house. There was no way for the family to leave the house, and attempts by the nelghbors to reach them were unsuccessful. Finally Frank Crown of Bakersfield made raft, and, with Frank Hayes, aged fifteen, pushed out into the current. The raft was too frail to stand the strain, and when 1t parted both fell in and both were drowned, as help could not reach them.
