"He listened to Johnny's statement

CONFERENCE
COMMITTEE.
Has Practically Agreed on the Main
Points of Difference.

WASHINGTON, June THE Repuoh-
can members Of the Conference Com
mittee on the war revenue bill were IN
caucus for about four hours to-day and
II is stated by members, OF the caucus
that thev practically reached an agree
ment on the most important items OF
difference between the two houses Iney
relate 10 the coinage OF the silver oui-
lion. the form OF the bond provision ana
the amount of the bonds, the inheritanco
tax. the duty on tea, etc.
These questions have not yet been rais-
ed In the full conference, and the Repuo-
leans define to State any points OF their
agreement.
The general impression among senators
&c that there will be some provision for
coining the selgiorage and possibly all
line silver bullion IN the Treasury but II
is not believed that the terms or tne
Senate provision will be accepted WITH
out material modification.
Two sessions OF the full committee were
held. but in these only matters OF minor
inheritance we're passed upon, and as
rule the Senate amendments on these
matters were accepted.
There is quite contest over the SEN
ate amendment excepting the tobacco
stock on hand from taxation, but this
schedule has not been passed upon. The
indications are however, that the SEN
ate proVislon will stand.

ing placed on board, for the work VIII

vessels will get away on Friday.
The troops which are 10 embark on the
Colon. Zealandia and China are ready
FOR service. the last equipment being de-
livered to-day.
SHIPS ARE SCARCE.
High rates OF charter and a scarcity
of ships are preventing the War Depart
mqSt from getting the third Manila ex-
pedition under way. The three trans
ports engaged. the China, Colon and zea-
Iandia, will constitute the second expe-
dltion. Ship owners are demanding ex-
,travagant prices for steamers and they
will not be met by the War Department.
Unless some Of them make more rea-
,sonable propositions, it IS foregone
conclusion that a number OF steamers
will be seized and drafted into service.

FOR PHILIPPINE INVASION.
The Question of Ships for Transports
ton is Rapidly Taking Shape.

WASHINGTON. June Assistant Sec
retary of War Meiklejohn IS rapidly shap-
ing the question Of ships for the trans
portation Of troops to the Philippine IS
lands.
1t was definitely decided tonight that
the steamship Centennial would not be of
the fleet, as she had been found unsea-
worthy. II Is probable that the War De-
partment will impress into government
service the steamships Senator. City OF
Pueblo and queen. Of the Pacific Coast
Steamship Company.
Assistant Secretary Meiklejohn to-day
telegraphed General Merritt to have these
vessels inspected with a view to their
use as troop-ships and If found suitable
TO impress them into service.
In addition 10 these vessels the Depart
ment has I'm view several ships OF the
Northern Pacific Steamship Company.
This IS a British corporation and the YES
sells are the Arizona. Victoria, Tacoma,
Columbia and Olympia.
Mr.. Meikleiohn this evening received
a telegram from the company stating
that these vessels would be chartered TO
the government on condition Of receiving
American registry at practically the
prices the War Department had proposed

RECOGNIZED BY RUSSIA,
The American Consul Applied for
Philippine Certificates.


LONDON, June S.-The Daily News
says:
"The American Consul at Odessa has
informed our correspondent there OF a
somewhat singular proceedings on the
part Of the authorities at that port with
regard to some foreign steamers now
chartered as auxiliary transports for the
conveyance of troops and war materials
from odessa to Port Arthur.
1T appears that, in the case OF Ger
man steamer named Scandia and
French vessel. the American Consul was
applied TO for certificates attesting the
ownership OF the steamers. and the char
acter and nature as well as destination
or their passengers and cargo. 1t was
explained by the local Russian authori-
ties that this extraordinary precauuon
was taken in the event of vessels being
compelled to put into a Philippine port.
LAS no certificate was demanded OF the
Spanish Consul, it would appear that the
Russians look upon the United States as
being in de facto possession Of the Philip
pine Archipelago.
The American Consul readily gave the
required certificates.

letter as given 70 the newspapers. The
Secret Service officials. in order further
to demonstrate their case against Car
ranza, will have the first three sheets OF
the letter. the concluding paragraph and

onment. preferred by Detective kellert
OF Montreal, who was arrested az their
instance on n charge Of stealing the let
ter and afterward acquitted. II Is pro-

thus their presence I'm Montreal will be
assured white the authorities are con-
sidering what can be done with them.
They will be placed in jail. where they
can neither run away nor be OF any SER

system is effectually crushed by the dis
closure OF the Carranza letter.
