WASHINGTON , July 17. The first format
conference on the tariff bill with all the
ncnatc and home members , both democratic
mid republican , present , was held today , and
contlini' ' d only about an hour. An adjourn
ment wits then taken until Z o'clock tomor
row , The proceedings of the ftill conference
consisted In an effort on the part of the
dunocrjtlc members to enlighten their re-
imhllcan colleague ! ) upon the elements of
dltagreeiucnt between the democratic mcm-
1) is of tha two houses without revealing the
method * by which they have sought to get to
gether or the details of the proceedings of
the democratic conferences. It had beun ex
pected the r'pubHcmi conferees would at the
outnet Indulge In some criticisms on having
been kept out of tha conference during Its
Initial stages , but the republicans had little
to say beyond formal greetings and waited
until Senator Voorhcas , as the head of the
democratic members , made a somewhat for
mal and full statement of the situation. He
nald no discourtesy to the republicans had
boon Intended. The meetings had not been
conference meetings , but had been confined
to nn effort to bring nbout some settled pol
icy among the democratic conferees. Sen
ator Voorhoes added ho was frank to con
fess the efforts toward ngicement had not
proved successful ,
The features of disagreement were then
rene : Into at considerable length by Mr. Voor-
hees nnd his associates. The result Is the
coal , sugar , wool and cotton schedules had
been the chief bone of contention , but he
did not give particulars In any case , except
that of sugar , with reference to which It
was fclntcd the house members had Indicated
n willingness to grant some duty an that
article , but had objected to the differential
tluty on refined sugar. On the other articles
which had been the basin of disagreement ,
Senator Voorhcea and other democratic mem
bers of the conference contented themselves
with saying the democratic conferees of the
two houses had contended each side for Its
own bill. This had been especially so In the
metal and woolen schedules , the t-enatc
amendments to which had been strongly ob
jected to by the house conferees. They said
among other special articles In the metal
schedule , the house- members had held out
for frco Iron ore and for the house rates on
lead ore containing silver , cutlery and steel
rails. They had also demanded so It was
reported to the full conference free coal.
In the general discussion the republican
conferees gathered that sugar. Iron ere , coal ,
the woolen schedule , cotton schedule and sll-
vor-lead bearing ores were the chief ques
tions of the disagreement. The question
finally arose as to what would ba dona now
that the full conference had assembled. It
was suggested by Senator Aldrlch that the
bill should bo taken up Item by Item and bo
considered by republicans and democrats , but
the point was raised that this appeared to be
hardly worth while. In view of what the
democrats had just disclosed that there was
no prospect of argccmcnt on the main ques
tion. There was no further proposition sub
mitted nnd no program outlined , and the
conference until " o'clock
adjourned tomor
row , the democratic conferees agreeing1 to
meet prior to that hour to further consider
the course to bo pursued.
As a result of the day's meeting , the re
publican conferees concluded n general dis
agreement would be reported to both houses
within a few days. There was no distinct
statement nr proposition to this effect , but
it appeared to bo the only conclusion to bo
drawn from what occurred.
COHKAN .SITUATION UXCII.\.M.ii ; > .
tFlipnii J ) ( ' < 'lliios to Withdraw Her Troop *
from IIKI Country.
WASHINGTON , July 17. The latest tele
graphic reports received hero Indicate that
the Corcan situation Is substantially un
changed. It Is stated that the Russian gov
ernment has expressed Itself satisfied with
the reply of the Japanese government , which
disavowed any designs upon Corean territory ,
but which declined to withdraw the Japanese
troops from Coroa until some action was
taken to prevent the constant recurrence of
the dlstrubancss In that country which con
stitute such n dangerous menace to Japanese
interests. It Is stated that the Chinese gov
ernment has peremptorily refused to consult
with the Japanese government for the pur
pose of devising means to assist Corca In re
moving the abuses which have caused the
present trouble , and has conflend [ Is replies
to this request , which has been repeated
several times , to n demand for the with
drawal of the Japanese troops form Corea.
The Impression prevails that this was the
unbalance of the answer tnado by the Chung
III Ynmen Fast week when the British min
ister at Pckln tendered his personal good
otllces to effect a settlement of the differ
ences between the two countries. The gon-
nral opinion In Japan Is that the government
has done nil that It can properly do to main
tain the entente cordlalo with China , nnd
that the responsibility for any complications
that may ensue must consequently rest upon
the latter country. .

WASHINGTON , July 17. Among the bills
reported to the senate today and suitably re

etc. , at a cost of $35,000.
Mr. Vest also reported a bill for the sale

AVII1 CimllNriitu the I'liUei.
WASHINGTON , July 17. Chief Hazon of
the secret service , questioned as to what ac
tion would be taken by the government In
case the governor of Mississippi refused to
discontinue the circulation of special warrants
In close Imitation of United States notes ,
said ho could see no other course to pursue
than to confiscate the plates nnd as many at
the warrants ns could be found. The treas
ury olllclals do not question the right at the
ututo to Issue warrants , their only contention
being that the warrants should not bo printoJ
in Imitation of United States notes ,
Chief Hiizen of the secret service today
received a telegram from his agent at St.
Louis stating that ho had In his possession
the plates from which the "special war
rants" Issued by the btato of Mississippi
woreprinted. . After consultation tod.iy with
Secretary Carlisle , Chief Huzun said ho
would send ono of his special agents to
Jackson , Miss. , to confer with Governor
jStone. and explain to him In what respects
the Issuance of these warrants Is a violation
of the statutes.

WASHINGTON , July 17. It Is understood
the selection of the commissioners to Investi
gate the latestrlku wan under discussion
by the cabinet , but so far there arcno open
indications of speedy action In the matter.
The president U disposed to act with the
greatest circumspection in choosing men of

to carry weight with the entire American
public.
WIM. SAM : MANY THOUSANDS.
Now 8yitoni of Accounting n Urent factor
In I'nlillc Kconoiny.
WASHINGTON , July 17. In the legislative
bill which paascJtho senate yesterday was
embodied ono of the most Important changes
In the routine work of Government made
slnco the war. The bill carried Into effect
the recommendations of the IJockery com
mission to reorganize the accounting system
of the Treasury department which was estab
lished In 1792 by Alexander Hamilton nnd
hns been In vogue rlnce with occasional re
visions , Although defended by Senator Sher
man the system was said by the commission
of experts to lack symmetry nnd to bo cum-
bcrous to the extent of congesting the busi
ness of the department. The new plan will
not go Into effect until October , ns tlmo will
bo required to make the changes. The ex
isting system Includes n triple examination
of accounts , whereas the new plan provides
for a double examination with checks nnd
Hafcuuards modeled after the workings of
some of the largest corporations In the coun
try. It abolishes the first , second nnd third
comptrollers nnd creates a comptroller who
Is the law ofllcer of the treasury , and In a
sense an appellate court , slnco his construc
tion of the statutes will govern the audi
tors In settling accounts. The new system ,
which wilt bring up to datu work which Is
dragging two years behind , Is Intended to se
cure the prompt adjudication of claims and
accounts , while Incidentally It saves the gov
ernment $200,000 a year by dispensing with
the services of 185 clerks.
Another work of the Dockcry commission
la the now form of money orders which came
Into use on the 1st of the month , superseding
the old money orders nnd postal notes , which
latter are entirely abolished. In form
they are more like the postal notes than the
money orders which they succeed , having
coupons which show the amount they carry
so arranged for clipping that the orders can
not be altered without decreasing their value.
Most Important , however , they Involve a
saving both to the government and the user
since smaller fees are allowed to postmasters
for Issuing them , making the uniform rate
of 3 cents , and the charges to the public arc
reduced ranging from 3 rents for orders less
than $2.50 up to 30 cents for $100.
The Dockcry commission has been In ex
istence but little more than a year , having
been organized June G , 1S93 , by an net of
congress. Its head Is Representative Dock-
cry of Missouri. With him are associated
Representatives Dlngley of Maine nnd Hlch-
ardson of Tennessee , nnd Senators Cockrell ,
Jones nnd Cullom. The work of Investigation
of the business methods of the departments
has been carried on by J. W. Ilelnhnrt , C. W.
Hasklns nnd E. W. Sells.
Eight or ten bills liavo been recommended
by the commission , nil of which have become
laws. Ono of the most Important was that
which provided for the purchase of supplies
for all government departments by n com-
mlttceo of three , and another was the bill
doing away with the expensive engrossing
of acts of congress and directing that they
should bo printed.

Minneapolis .Undo Moro for Her liulldor *
Than Any Otlior VCMI-I.
WASHINGTON , July 17. The Minneapolis
has done even bettor than the first reports
Indicated on her trial trip. Yesterday Com
modore Selfrldgo telegraphed the Navy de
partment that the vessel made 23:03 : knots ,
subject to tidal corrections. These correc
tions wcro made last night , and today the
commodore reported that after making allow
ance for the tides and currents the average
speed was 23.07 knots , lly the contract she
was required to make 21 knots , and the con
tractors were to receive a bonus for excess
speed on the basis of $50,000 for each quarter-
knot , so that , according to Commodore Self-
rldgo's figures the premium earned will
amount to $414,600 , the largest ever earned
by a vessel.
When proposals were received for building
the Minneapolis , It was found that the Hath
Iron works was the lowest bidder at $2,030-
000 , Cramp's coming next with a bid of $2-
745,000. The secretary of the navy decided
that at that tlmo the Dath Iron works had
hardly n sufficient -plant to undertake the
construction of so large n ship , nnd he of
fered to bestow the contract on the Cramps
If they would reduce their bid to the figure
of the Hath Iron works , which they did , so
that with the premium earned on the trial
the total cost of the vessel Is $3,201,000.

Senncliilons Affair.
A couple of young married women , one
the wife of a business man and the other
the wife of n railroad man , had an experi
ence Monday night they will not soon forget.
They also had their first hour In jail , with
n disreputable hack driver named Buck
Keith nnd a gambler and loafer named Car
ter.
According to the story told by ono of the
women , they had been spending the after
noon with a party of friends and relatives
at Lake Manawa. Among the list of re
freshments served was beer , and they In
dulged In too much of the amber liquid and
became decidedly dizzy. The husbands had
to return to Omaha early In the evening ,
leaving their wives to follow at their leisure.
When the women got to this city they
stopped at a well known cafe and Indulged
In more beer and a lunch. Then they were
filled with a deslro to see more of the town ,
and , summoning a hack , were being driven
around by Keith. Ho undoubtedly was
aware of their condition , and , thinking they
would bo easy victims to his desires , ho
summoned n pal , who happened to bo Carter.
The hack was driven to the St. Clalr lodg
ing house just back of the Mlllard on Thir
teenth street , and upon some pretext or
another the women wore persuaded to enter
this place. After getting the women Into
a room , the men piled them with liquor and
then attempted unwarranted liberties. One
of the women was too drunk to know what
she was about , but the other realized their
danger , and , after u sharp struggle with
ono of the fellows , during which her hands
wore severely scratched and torn , she man
aged to got away and shouted for the police ,
Olllcors appeared and placed the whole party
under arrest. They were taken to the sta
tion wind assumed names given. Shortly
afterward the men wore let out on ball , and
later on the husband of ono of the women
caina down and put up a cash bond for the
women nnd took them homo , Keith ap
peared In the police court yesterday and
was lined for disorderly conduct. Others of
the party forfeited their bonds.
