SENATORS SHOW SIGNS OF YIELDING Collator Caffcry Him n Long Talk with Hprnkor Crlip nml Cltalrmiin Ullicm Stuutora Huy the Conditions llavo Not ClmiiRml. WASHING TON , July 31. The prospects of an agreement on the tariff were much Improved today. For the first time In many days the house democratic conferees cimo from the meeting with the statement that previous Irreconcilable differences were In process of amicable adjustment. With much satisfaction the house members stated to their associates that the senators had nhowti a disposition for the first time to meet the house half way. As to when n lull agreement would bo perfected there van some difference of opinion. One house conferee said that It would probably be this week. Another thought It would bo "soon. " Chairman Wilson would not even admit the Understanding hud gene far enough to war rant the prediction of n speedy report He eald , however , that the conferees had nt least done business and made progress today , which us more than could have been Bald of past meetings. v The senate conferees came from the meetIng - Ing without showing the hopefulness of the liouso members. They said the conference was as far from an agreement as It had baen while there \vas this conflict , among those thoroughly Informed of the Insldo Workings ot the conference , the general be lief prevailed that the hopifulness of the liouso conferees had some substantial foun dation. One ot the conferees said that while no final agreement had been made on Iron , coal nnd sugar , yet sufficient had been Uevolopcd In conference to show that an agreement could be reached on these three tnost Important Items , which would be ac ceptable to the senate and house confutes find to the houie of representatives. 'Whether It would bo acceptable to the full Bonato , this conferee expressed tonic hope. In this connection. It developed today that Senator CafTcry of Louisiana , who had been ( most active on the sugar question , had n long and. It Is said , satisfactory conference yesterday with Speaker Crisp nnd Chairman ( Wilson. Whllo the house conferees were so pleased nt the bright outlook , their senatorial col leagues contented themselves with sajlng that while they wcro hopeful of reaching an understanding nothing had transpired In conference to base this hope upon. They ucclaro that on the essential Items of disa greement the conferees are ns far apart as they ever wcro. An Increased hopefulness that a bill will bo agreed upon Is noticeable , however , upon the part of democratic senators who are not members of the conference. One ot the leading conservative senators said as lie was leaving the scnato chamber tonight that the tariff bill would bo finally agreed upon by next Monday , and he added that the bill would bo virtually the senate bill. ZTho day developed the possibility of a rot - t > ort of partial agreement , and while this report at first appeared as a vague rumor , Its probability was nftoi wards confirmed by eenators not members of the conference com- inlttee. The fact that the conference had the schedules other than those relating to sugar , coal and Iron ore , under consideration today is ono fact In confirmation of the report. Senator Voorhees and Chairman Wilson wore too III to attend the conference , and Senator Jones was also absent. Representative Springer stated that ho liad forty-five signers to the call for a democratic house caucus nnd would have eevonty-flvo eventually , and the caucus .would bo hold Thursday night. The friends ot the Wilson bill were full of hope. They gathered about the chair man and other house conferees on the tariff nnd assured them that the danger of an adverse caucus action by the liouso had been averted , and that liouso demo crats could bo depended upon to stand by the house bill to the end. At first there was an Inclination rmong Mr. .Wilson's friends to remain away from the caucus. If this had been adhered to It Is probable the caucus would have lacked n quorum. But the sentiment is now felt by them to bo so strongly wlUi the house conferees that Chairman Wilson and his friends are likely to attend the caucus and take a con spicuous part In It. , I.OVii > ADI.AI'h DVUailTIJK. Infntuntlon of n Young Washington Clerk for Miss .Mary Stovvnaon , WASHINGTON , July 31. ( Special Tele gram to The Bee. ) Washington society has tilvvays been cosmopolitan , probably moro so than In any other national capital in the world. The residents of the District arc mndo up largely of legislators nnd office holders gathered from all ports of the coun try , and when they come together hero they usually meet on equal terms In all social events. This very democratic state of affairs some times leads to complications , as n story which would probably ha\o been hushed up but for Its partial premature publication In a western paper will show. Vice President Ad la I Stevenson has two daughters. When Adlal was first called to Washington as postmaster general In Cleve land's first administration tney were both ot them little girls , but they have slnco had several years of Washington Ufa and Miss Mary Stevenson has developed into n win some nnd attractlvo young lady. Some time ago at n barge party nt which Mrs. Blanchard - ard , wlfo ot Senator Blauchard , was chaperone - rene Miss Mary was Introduced to n young clerk In the employ of the supreme court of the name ot Curtis , who was not only de lighted at the Idea of making the acquaint ance of the daughter ot a vice president but was Immensely taken with the attrac tiveness ot the young lady herself. So In fatuated did the young man become that he Insisted on calling on Miss Stevenson and paying his attentions to her oven though her father did all ho could to discourage It. H does not appear that the young lady ever showed any predilections for Mr. Curtis , but he became moro and moro persistent In his attentions to her nnd finally It leaked out that ho had given her u ring , though It was said that they were not engaged. By this time the vice president had de cided that matters had gene far enough and determined to separate the young people. Young Louis Green Stevenson ( called on Mr , Curtis nnd spoke with such earnestness that the suitor concluded to let his passion rest for a\\lille. Ho pi Id no moro visits to Miss Stevenson nnd In a little while the Stovensons left Washington and went into West Virginia for n short stay and after wards to Bar Harbor. But the and was not yet. Mr. Curtis , who Is a grandson of Stephen Cnssln ot Penn sylvania , who received a gold medal for bravery In the battle of Tlcondtroga , em ployed a mutual friend named Emory John son to play the part of private detective and ascertain the possibilities of n continuance ot his addresses. The amateur detective started to Bar Harbor , but only got as far as Boston. His money was spent and he sent for more. Theie was no moro forthcoming from Curtis , and Johnson Is still in Boston waiting remittances. Whether he will be supplied 'or not cannot be ascertained , but th probabilities are that he will ba called back. vViinu llxttor Sorvloo. \VAKIIi.\flTON , July 31.

Al though 120 amendments wcro made by the senate , an agreement was reached upon all but twenty-four of them , the senate re ceding In seven cases from Us Items , while the house conferees accepted the remainder.

THEIR WAR CRY IS RAISED Democratic Free Coinage League Executive Committee Eager for the Fray , STIRRING ADDRESS TO NEBRASKA VOTERS Follutrrrft of .JefTcrnon and ilnrkvui Urged to I'roccril ItcgarillnM of the Stiito Committee llryiui Ankuil to Como Out ( or the bcnato , There was n meeting of prominent free silver democrats In Omaha yesterday after noon , the meeting being called for the pur pose of adopting an address to the democrats ot Nobr.isks on the silver question. This ad dress had been prepared by Judge Ong , president of the Nebraska Democratic Free Coinage league , and it was duly ratified by the other members of the executive commit tee The address , which is printed In full below , makes n fervent appeal to the dem ocrats of Nebraska to stand by the "money of their fathers , " to go uhcad and hold their county conventions and elect delegates to the state convention , regardless of the action of the state central committee In neglecting to set a date for that convention. The ad dress also asks the democrats to express themselves In their counly conventions over the conduct ot the ofllcers of the state cen tral committee In persisting In the folly of a late convention. Not the least interesting feature of the meeting yesterday afternoon was the de cision of the committee to at once place Congressman Bryan In the rnce for the posi tion of United States senator. A letter was forwarded him last evening requesting him to nt once announce himself us a candidate and assuring him that as soon as ho made the announcement they would proceed to urge his nomination by the democratic party. The letter to Congressman Bryan Is also appended. The appeal of the free coinage people to the democrats of Nebraska Is ns follows : GENEVA , Neb , July 30 Fellow Demo crats of Nebraska1 It Is the duty of every member of the democratic party of Nebraska to contribute his part to Its Invlgoratlan. The apparent numerical weakness of the party In this state Is a demonstration of n radical defect In Its principles or In its management , or In the people of the state. Tlio trouble Is not with the people , of Ne braska. They are an agricultural people ; the people whose circumstances and habits give them less knowledge of technical things , but moro knowledge of nature and funda mental principles , and more Independence , courage and self-reliance than any other class. It was Jus't such n people who made this government , and It Is such a people who must stand as the nnchor of hope for Its perpetuity In Its original Integrity. PatriotIsm - Ism for our country and devotion to our Institutions calls upon us to be , as of right wo ought to be , resentful of epithets or slurs against the people ot Nebraska or their political tendencies , their Individual activity In politics , which Indeed Is the first duty of citizenship In a government of the people , for the people nnd by the people. It Is both principles and men Hint are wanted. Party success depends not only on party principles , Indorsed by the people , but also on party management. Hint Inspires their confidence In party loaders. There Is no demand for a party merely to keep up Its own organiza tions , nor one only large enough to handle the patronage , nor party leaders whoso occu pation Is to work deception on caucuses and conventions or patronage for the advance- of themselves nnd their favorites. To create and preserve confidence between the people and party leaders Is a root of wisdom in party management. If the party leaders really Iravo faith and trust in the people , the latter will find It out and that trust will be reciprocated. If the paople do not believe that party leaders have confidence in them , it Is the best attainable evidence that It Is not true. This was first clearly reall/ed by Thomas Jefferson , und finds Its greatest exemplification in the careers of him and Andrew Jackson , both of whom were , with the party they espoused , main tained principally by the agricultural people ple like the people of Nebraska , The people - plo of Nebraska have not now confidence either in the principles or management ot the republican party , nor Is It certain thnt tiiey have sufficient confidence In the man agement of any other party of the state to cause them to place It In power. WHERE SILVER COMES IN. It Is safe to trust them with the princi ples of tariff reform , ns represented by President Cleveland and the majority of the democratic members of congress. And yet we cannot forget that the tariff has been calloused by a hundred years' discus sion. In which critics say that no now ar guments have been advanced since the days of Jefferson and Hamilton ; and that there Is another and newer question which has taken the foremost place In the minds of our people , who demand an opportunity to record tholr views thereon In unequivocal nnd unmistakable terms a right which they have , and of right ought to have. A ques tion arising out of the demonetization of sliver twenty years ago a question of restoration whether silver shall bo remonotlzed whether we shall have the single gold standard , or the double standard of gold and silver whether we shall have monometallism ot bimetallism. Wo are now suddenly confronted by the startling alleged discovery of local explorers of the dictionary that the statesmen of the world of every age nnd clime , as well as writers on political economy , have always been under the delusion that there might be a double standard of values , when , in fact , there is no such thing , never has been nor over can bo. They would run the sub ject into n question of dictionary , where democrats , from Jackson down , are not counted heavy. "Another line of local phil osophers toll us that perfect bimetallism , which they profess to favor , la the use of an equal amount ot each metal , which wo did not formerly have , but wo have got It now. So , according to their dictionaries , their millennium in metalllsm has come. In every government where the owners of gold and sliver bullion can at pleasure on equal terms and without discrimination ugulnst cither convert all bullion of botji kinds Into stand ard money , a certain amount of gold Into n certain number ot units of value , and a certain amount of silver Into n certain num ber of units of value , there is a double standard , according to the statesmen of the world , Including Hamilton , Jefferson , Jack son and an unbroken line of American slates- men. Thnt Is double standard and not single standard bimetallism and not monometal lism Irrespective of how much ot one or little of the other is being used at u given time , nor how much the one may go abroad In exchange for the other , thereby both ro- llovlns ; strains on each other In different places on the automatic plan ( which Is ono of the great merits of the double standard ) , but still all remaining In nnd keeping up the sl/o of tha basic money volume of thu world The nccssury thing Is unlimited coinage ot both metals , so that no part ot either will be excluded , thereby making surplus of bullion so excluded to fix a commodity value different from the coinage value , in asmuch as there must bo a ratio we should proceed under the present ratio ot 16 to 1 , nnd not permit a quibble on ratios to de feat remonetlzatlon. An unlimited coinage of one metal and a limited coinage of the other gives a commodity value to the latter measured by the standard ot the former It Is a vain attempt to compromise a ques tion that In Its nature Is not susceptible ot compromise. It Is a monstrosity having not the simplicity , merit or stability of either the pure slnglo or double standard , and must bo abandoned for cither the one or tha other. SHALL ENGLAND STILL DICTATE ? But we are told that wo must wait for Europe U Is shown that Europe will wait for England. Europe , as her greatest stand ard says , will hold to the single standard of gold because , being a creditor nation. It gives her the advantage over othera , Includ ing the American people. The flat ol Eng land has made the single standard , Shall the flat of England continue to rule UH ? Must we not move for rdmonetlzatlon till England gives the word ? A majority of the republican members ot congress seem to think so , but the majority of the demo cratic members of congress and the masses of the democratic party think otherwise. The credit system having brought on such vast Indebtedness and upon which the wcit has been BO largely built b'Ucs the subject the Increased Importance Involving n partial con fiscation of the property of the debtor ; but oven If there were no debts the change from the double to the single standard the world over would In time strangle activity , Intelligence nnd enterprise and Increase the number ot the rich , decrease the number of the middle class nnd fill the land with n destitute peas antry Adding to that the wrongs ot having to pay on ( ho narrow single standard the vast Indebtedness contracted on the broad hnso of both metals , brings us to n rapid rnllz.xtlon of the prophetic words ot John G , Carlisle , when In the lower house of congress , building the summit of his political fame. In addition to that would bo the special hurt to Nebraska of crushing the Rocky moun tain country , which has over nurtured those plains , nnd whoso grentncs always has nnd nlwny.i would stand guard over our markets. The republicans of Nebraska by thousands nnd ten thousands believe that Senator Cam eron told the truth when he said In sub- Rtanco that the demonetization of nllver was n nefarious scheme of the money powers of the world , centering In London , for their own Eplflsh greed , nnd that their great leader , John M. Thurston , told the truth when ho said the demonetization of silver In the United States wns by "accident or fraud , " nnd they nre lonth to trust the ro- publlctn party , which did It , when In the plcntltiido ot its power , to now bring about remonctlyntlon by "accident or fraud. " NOW IS THE ACCEPTED TIME. The polltal teachings of Jefferson nnd Jack son , applied to the iolltic.il Issues of the present time , under a party management In spiring confidence ot the people , would bo sustained In Nebraska by 25,000 majority. Democrats of Nebraska arouse Now Is your opportunity. Stand up for Nebraska. Strike for > onr country , > our party nnd the right. Move Immediately upon the opposite works.

The following Is a copy of the letter for warded to Congressman Bryan last evening by the members ot the executive committee whoso names are attached GENEVA , Neb , July 2S. Hon William J. Bryan , Washington , D. C. : Dear Sir The growing sentiment thnt United States senators should bo the choice of the people - plo makes It essential that Nebraska should be In line with other states with this pro gressive Idea. Believing that the great majority ot the people of Nebraska desire that you should represent this stnto In the United States senate , the executive com mittee of the Nebraska Democratic Free Coinage league respectfully requests that you announce yourself as a candidate for this high office. We desire that you shall nt the same time announce the principles which will guide you In the event that you nre elected , and also that you shall make a thorough canvass ot the state. In the event that you make this announce ment , the friends of bimetallism In the democratic party propose to urge your nom ination by that party. We are confidant that every element In the state favorable to the principles you have so ably championed nre favorable to your election as United States senator , and we are certain that the political party which does not , champion your candidacy will not reflect the sentiment of the masses of the people of Nebraska.
