WASHINGTON , Aug. 9. The demo-
cratlo tarlft conference hail expected
to bo able to announce an agreement
today. Instead of reaching any definite con *
elusion the day cloned with the bill In quite
an uncertain a state as ever before In lt
history , with the situation In no wlso
Improved and with the feeling between the
friends of the Donate and house bills Intensi
fied Instead of nllaycd and with no onn pre
pared to tay what the outcome would be or
When the end would be readied. It was
apparent at the very beginning of the con
ference that thORO who had concluded at the
adjournment of yesterday's session that an
agreement would be arrived at today had not
taken HUfflcIetitly Into account the possibility
of a misunderstanding or a change of mind.
This discovery was made when the senate
conferees prepared to go on with the bill
upon the basis of n duty of 10 c = nta per tenon
on coal and ficu Iron ore , whereupon the
house conferc H announced their unwillingness
to assent to this arrangement anil stated
they \vould Insist upon a reversal of these
terms , with coal free and Iron ere dutiable ,
If cither was to be , as they understood they
wore to have a choice between ths two. The
nvowal of thin position produced Immediate
confusion anil led to an exchange of re
marks which were not altogether polite.
The senate conferees thereupon decided to
report the state of affairs to the conserva
tive senators , and when the conferees ad
journed cat cd Senators Gorman , llrlce ,
Smith and Murphy Into consultation. The
whole situation was outlined to them. They
were not only made acquainted with the de
mand of the house conferees for free coal ,
but wore also given to understand other
material conceptions would be expected by
the liouso conferees along the entire line of
the bill , Including woolens , cottons , metals ,
glass and earthenware. They decided upon
an emphatic negative In reply to these pro-
jxmto , saying If the body of the bill was not
preserved \lrtually as It passed the senate
the rcpflrt of the conference when made
would not be accepted by the senate.
UHICIJ HAS A PUOI'OSAL.
Senator llrico proposed an Innovation In
the shape of a proposition that the liouso
conferees bo given on opportunity to se
cure free sugar Ills Idea In detail was that
the senatu conferees should volunteer to re
cede entirely from the senate schedule , leavIng -
Ing both raw and refined sugar on the free
list as provided In the house bill , and that
the senate bill should be otherwise accepted
virtually in Its present shape , \\lth both
coal and Iron on the dutiable list at the rate
of 40 cents per ton. In urging this upon
the conferees he said it would necessarily
produce one of three results. If It should
bo declined by the house conferees It would
place the responsibility for the sugar duty
upon them ; if it should be accepted and the
senate should on this account refuse to
adopt the committee report the house con
ferees would still bear the odium for In
sisting upon amending the senate bill. "If ,
thirdly , " ho said , "they should accept , If a
report should bo mndo upon these lines and
If the report should bo accepted by both
houses and should become a law , we should
all bo happy. "
The conferees adopted the suggestion and
presented the proposition to the afternoon ses
sion of the conference. It Is understood
the proposition created some surprise on
the part of the liouso members , who at first
evinced n. disposition to accept It , but after
considerable discussion of the merits of this
feature of the proposition and of the other
features Involving the acceptance- the
other senate amendments , declined to vouch
safe an answer without further considera
tion. The question was , therefore , undis
posed of when the conference adjourned
for the day.
The republican senators were also In con
sultation with the senatorial tariff conferees
during the day , and It Is understood have
given notice that If there Is any material
change In the more Important schedules
relating to manufactured articles they will
resist the Immediate disposition of the com
mittee's report when made , and huvo stated
that in that event more tariff oratory maybe
bo expected.
STATEMENT OF HOUSE MEMBERS.
As to the misunderstandings throughout
tha day the house iniyi understood when the
conference adjourned last night the senators
had conceded that cither Iron ere or coal waste
to go on the free list , the other remaining
oh the dutiable list. While the house , men
had given no definite announcement of their
ohplco between the two Items It was gen
erally understood they would prefsr to have
Iron ere on the free list. When , however ,
they entered the conference today , thsy had
concluded among themselves that It would be
preferable to have coal on the fro ; list ,
leaving iron ere dutiable at 40 cents a ton.
This conclusion was definitely announced to
the senators , but the house men were sur
prised to find the willingness to concede
them the choice was somewhat abated. What
had caused the change was not made clear ,
but In discussing it tonight the house con
ferees said with no little feeling that It
was clearly du ; to the Influence of those In
terested In the sugar schedule. Whether the
dlfllculty would be solved tomorrow or would
bo dec'ured off entirely was not clear to the
hous conferees. In the event of an under
standing on coal and Iron tomorrow the
IIOUBO conferees expressed the hope that the
republican conferees might bo called in late
In the day or on Saturday , although the
differenced developed today on coal and Iron
as well as an some of the other schedules
mailo the chances of a full conference less
hopeful tonight than they were last night.
No one could bo found about the
capital this morning who was willing to
assert that an agreement had been reached
on the tariff or that there would bs any
possibility of a report today. The con
fidence of an agreement which seemed to
pervade every part of the capitol yesterday
had disappeared and the conferees seemed
to have encountered obstacles to an
agreement which might eventually result In
a disagreement or take several days to
got over. It was stated by a close frlenJ of
the administration that the contentions In
the presldent'sletttr for frco Iron ere and
free coal have been only partially conceded
and the Inference Is loft that the house con
ferees are now standing out for frco coal
and free Iron ore or both.
It was also said that the senate contention
for the rates It had made In the woolen
and metal tchedulrs was found to bo a de
cided obstacl In the way of an agreement
and that when the point was reached whore
an agreement or understanding on the main
points was In sight the house conferees
found that the senators were unwilling to
make sultab'e concessions on the manufactur
ing schedules. Thus the prospects of an
and to the deadlock seemed to bo further
away than yesterday. As to the time when
a report can b ? made , one In a position to
know says even If un agreement should be
reached It would take twenty-four hours to
prepare a report In shape to bo submitted to
the senate.
The tariff conferees remained In session
until a few minutes past 12 o'clock , and
when they adjourned the senate conferees
proceeded to the president's room , where
they held u private consultation free from
Interruption on Interference.
A petition was today circulated among
members of the house of representatives
urging the house tarlft conferees to stand
by free sugar and a permanent Income tax.
Representative Hland started the petition ,
and U was numerously signed. It Is as fol
lows :
"We , the undersigned democratic members
of the -house request our committee on con
ference on the tariff bill to Inilit on the pro
visions of the house bill relating to free
iitor and a permanent Income tax , and se
cure the best compromise possible on other
articles. "
Kepreeenta'lvo McMillan , one of the house
confen-ea , when teen , stated that since the
flnt meeting today he believed an agreement
was In sight ; coal and Iron ere had not yet
been settled , but the main feature * of the
till would bo agreed upon w that the re
publican * could be called In lomoirow. Dur
ing the recess of the conferees there were
conferences between leading conservative
senators and the Impression prevailed that
the manufacturing schedule * were being con-
ildered.
Chairman Wilson was with the president
until 10.30 last night , Secretaries Orrnham ,
CnrlUle and other cabinet officers belnc pres
ent and the prospective tariff agreement was
fully Rene over. *
At the noon recess of the tariff conference
one of the house conferees stated that the
reports which had been In circulation of
presidential Interference with the agreement
effected yesterday were unwarranted and that
nothing had been suggested at the conference
today to Indicate any executive Influence.
The Intimation was made , however , that n
good many minor obstacles had been en
countered today.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 0. In the house to.
day Mr. Iloutcllc , republican of Maine ,
speaking to a question of personal privileges
denied a published Imputation that ho had
Introduced for political purposes resolu
tions recognizing the new Hawaiian re
public. Referring to the president's recog
nition of. the republic , he was describing
how Mr. Orcshatn "had sneaked up to the
capital yesterday to Inform Chairman Me-
Crcaryof the administration's purpose , "
when he was called to order by Mr. Outh-
waltc , democrat of Ohio , and warned by the
speaker Mr. Iloutelle denounced the con
duct of the administration In the Hawaiian
affair as "peanut politics. " He asked the
house to icpudlate the whole turbulent and
malailorous affair , and to express to the now
republic Its cordial congratulations.
The speaker here decided that Mr. Doutelle
had gone outsldo of the question of personal
privilege , and as ho would not desist , ordered
him to take his scat.
Chairman McCrcary of the foreign affair ?
committee tried to reply to Mr. Doutelle , but
a point of order was rained by Mr. Flthlan ,
democrat , of Illinois , and sustained by the
speaker. Mr. McCrcary protested that Mr.
Uoutelle by his "manner and words" has
charged Imptoper motives to the committee.
Mr. Uoutelle Intcrloctcd "I withdraw the
manner. The gentleman from Kentucky has
enough for both of us. "
Mr. McCreary thereupon resumed his scat
Mr. Flthlan of Illinois denounced the gov
ernment for sending federal troops Into Illi
nois without first receiving a request from
the governor. Mr. Mycr , democrat of Louisi
ana , and Mr. Cannon , republican of Illinois ,
defcndul his action , declaring that the presi
dent had done his duty ; that the country ex
claimed "God bless him , what courage he
has , " and that the republicans cried "amen. "
The morning expired without action on
the bill , and at 2:15 p. m. , under the special
order , the remainder of the day was devoted
to business reported from the commllfeo on
claims.
In the course of two and a half hours six
relief bills were passed by the house. Then
at 4,50 p. m. the house adjourned.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 9. Secretary Gresham -
am 1ms received the application referred to
In the morning dispatches for a ship to
transport 1,000 barrels of flour to Corea.
This Is the first notice the department has
had that any unusual measure of distress
and deprivation exists In the kingdom. As
suming that It Is true the officials do not
sco how so small a quantity of grain , which
the Coreans scarcely know how to use , will
be of much avail in a population of about
10,000,000 people. Secretary Qresham has not
yet disposed of the application.
The officials of the Corean legation are
themselves taking steps looking to the ship
ment to Corea of any supplies that may be
donated by the people of this country. Tor
this purpose the good offices of the American
Trading company of Now York have been In
voked and It has been asked to look after
the movement. This company , however ,
owns no steamers , but bos branch houses In
Corea and Japan. Replying to the request
it has promised to do everything possible to
promote the movement. The legation of
ficials have telegraphed to San Francisco
making Inquiry as to rates , etc. , for securing
a vessel to carry the donations to Corea ,
but as yet no answer has been received.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 9. The civil service
commission recently held an examination of
applicants for appointment to the position
of Inspector under the meat Inspection law.
Those places were but recently included
in the scope of the civil service law , and
this was the first examination of candidates
thereunder. Out of a total number of thirty
persons who took the examination but three
made sufficiently high percentages to allow
thorn appointments. This Is very discourag
ing to the officials of the bureau of animal
Industry of the Department of Agriculture ,
under whoso direction the Inspection of cattle
slaughtered for Interstate and foreign com
merce Is carried on. The law requires that
the persons now holding the position of
meat Inspector , of whom , there are probably
fifty or more , shall take a civil service ex
amination , but they have not as yet been
examined. Another examination of appli
cants will bo held shortly , so as to Increase
the list of cllgiblcs.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 9. The president to
day approved the act recently passed by con
gress requiring railroads In the territories
running over the right of way granted by the
government to establish stations at all town-
sites established by the Interior department
This law grow out of the contest between
the Rock Island road and people living In
towns In Oklahoma located by the govern
ment , the railroad refusing to stop at these
towns as It had townsltcs at other points.
It Is believed this law will end the trouble.

WASHINGTON , Aug. 9. Representative
Foreman , from the committee on agricul

bill to make oleomargarine and all other
Imitation dairy products subject to the laws
of the state or territory Into which they are
transported. It Is claimed that the
"original package" decision of the supreme
court has permitted unscrupulous dealers to
pack oleomargarine In original packages and
thus protect It from the restrictions of the
various state laws.

WASHINGTON BUREAU OF THE BCE.
H07 F Street , N. W.
WASHINGTON , Aug. 9.
The only financial legislation accomplished
by this congress , except the repeal of the
purchasing clause of the Sherman act and
the passage of the seigniorage bill , which re
ceived the presidential veto , Is the bill to
subject to state taxation national bank notes
and United States treasury notes , which
Inisscd the house Tuesday with the senate
amendments. Attempts have been made In
nearly every congress since the war to sub
ject these forms of money to taxation. The
bill provides that circulating notes of
national banking associations and United
States legal tender notes nnd other notes
nnd certificates of the United States payable
on demand and circulating or Intended to
circulate as currency shall not be exempt
from taxation under the laws of any state
or territory , provided that the taxation Is
exercised at the same rate and In the snine
manner as upon other property or money
The three acts authorizing the Issuance of
greenbacks each put In circulation $700-
000.000 , but the total amount was after
wards reduced to $345,000,000 a figure Unit
has remained permanent , although much of
the money has been lost or destroyed. Each
Issuing act declared the greenbacks exempt
from taxation by state or municipal authori
ties , as well as all other obligations of the
United States , and under this law arc the
Sherman notes for the purchase of bullion
of $150,000,000 , ' which were Issued under
the act of 1890. There are , In round num
bers , $500,000,000 of United States notes cx-
empt from taxation. Against the bill It
was argued that It was an Infringement
upon the sovereignty of the general govern
ment to permit state and municipal authori
ties to tax Its monetary Issues , but on the
other hand It was pointed out that the
states were not permitted to discriminate
against any forms of money , and that these
greenbacks should bo placed on the same
basts as gold nnd silver.
COREA'S POSTAL SERVICE.
Little Interruption to the transmission of
the United States malls can be caused by
the war over Corea , and no apprehension or
delay of any sort Is entertained by officials
of the Postofllco department. Corea has no
regular postal system , and such crude ser
vice as Is maintained is cither under the
authority of the Japanese government or
through private enterprise. There are three
postofllces In the kingdom , at Fusam-Po ,
Genzanshln and Jlnsen , which are under
Japanese Jurisdiction. All other arrange
ments for carrying malls are made by pri
vate business establishments , as In China
beyond Shanghai. The amount of mall
transmitted between Corea and this country
Is naturally very small , and Is forwarded
with the malls sent from Japan. A dispatch
pouch Is sent regularly by our legation at
Seoul , Corea's capital , to Yokohama , and
reaches the United States three or four
times a month. Its transportation from
Seoul to Yokohama Is accomplished solely
through arrangements effected by the State
department. Steps were taken last spring
by the Corean government , through Its lega
tion officials here , to secure all necessary in
formation preparatory to admission Into the
universal postal union , but since then , no ac
tion has been taken.
BRYAN'S RECENT CALLING.
Congressman Halner says the announce
ment of Mr. Bryan's candidacy for the
senate reminds him of the story which runs
as follows : A gentleman visiting a sleepy
southern town was very anxious to be called
in tlmo to attend the divine services on
Sabbath day , nnd was assured that if he
started with the ringing of the second bell
ho would be there In time. On Sunday
morning he was awakened , and was under
the Impression In his half dosing sleep that
ho had heard the bell ring repeatedly. Rush
ing down he Inquired of Uie colored servant
If that was the second bell which he had
heard. He was answered : "No , sah. That
am the third ringing of the fust bell. " The
parallel between the old man's experience
and the frequent calls of Mr. Bryan's
literary bureau on himself Is apparent.

I'ropoftpit Amendment to tlio Patent I-nw
Will I'xti'iiit Its 1,1 fo Snrrntcon Years.
WASHINGTON. Aug , 9. Representative
Chllds of Illinois has presented a memorial
In the house protesting against proposed
patent legislation on the ground that It Is In
the interests of the American Bell Tele
phone company. The memorial Is signed
by Charles U. Aldrlch , who was solicitor
general under the last administration , and
asserts that by several bills Introduced In
congress an attempt has been made to se
cure an amendment to the revised statutes
so that a domestic patent shall not bo lim
ited In Its duration by the expiration of a
foreign patent unless the patent In the for
eign country has been granted prior to the
data of the filing of the application In this
country. He claims that the American Bell
Telephone company Is vitally Interested In
this proposed leg station and a great wrong
would be done the American people should
the law be changed. He cites a number of
patents for which applications have been
filed and cays the legislation proposed will
prolong the life of the Bell Telephone com
pany's monopoly fr seventeen years from
the date ot its last patent. March 7 , 1893.
Ho suggests legislation relating In express
terms that the domestic patents shall expire
at the same time as the foreign patent , with
out reference to the time when the applica
tion vvas made. He sugegsts that the mo
nopoly of a patent shall cease seventeen
years after It first came Into use , without
reference to the time when the patent was
allowed or Issued. Ho also suggests that
patent controversies should bo appealed di
rectly to the supreme court that they might
secure a final Bettlcment as early as possible.

WASHINGTON , Aug 9. In view of the

at Mexico Is of Interest :
"Up to the 1st of July it was thought the
corn crop would be a failure and ontoll much
suffering and make further demands upon
the treasury of this country to supply from
the United States the deficiency of the
government to save many persons from
starving. In July many rains fell over the
greater part of this republic , oven where
none had fallen In several years. It Is now
believe that more than half a crop will bo

couraged to the belief that their business
will be much Improved by the late rains.
The rainy season was almost two months
later than last season. "

LINCOLN , Aug. 9. ( Special to The Bee. )
The city was alarmed by n chorus of whistles
and fire bells about 2 o'clock this morning ,
and the fire department , htirr > lng But North
Ninth street , found the big barns mid stables
of the Sullivan Transfer company a mass of
flames. The barn was a frame structure
and being filled with hay , straw and other
Inflammable material * , It burned like so much
tinder. The alarm was turned In by U. L.
Adams , who states that when ho arose the
building was on fire In front , In the rear
and on both sides , which gives rise to the
suspicion that It was the work of Incen
diaries. Throe men who wore sleeping In
the barn nt the time were awakened by the
smoke and devoted themselves to the task
of treeing the horses , of which there were
sixteen head In the building. All but five
head weru got out , but sonio of them ran
back Into the flames. A valuable animal ,
the property of Councilman Dally , was
among those burned. Two mules imd a cow
were also cremated.
The firemen made a quick response , but
It was some time before they could get water
after the hose was attached , and they could
do nothing towards saying the building. lie-
sides the live stock there was n large quan
tity of feed In the building , which was lout.
Several valuable wagons and all the har
ness except one set were also burned. The
building was the property of O. P. Dlnges
and was valued at $3,000 ; Insurance , $2,000.
The contents destroyed were valued at $3,000 ;
Insurance , $1,400. During the progress of
the lire tlic heat and sparks set fire to a
frame residence adjoining occupied by Henry
Hamilton , and It and Us contents were a
total loss. The building was valued at $800
and the contents at $200. The residence of
D C. Mills and Its contents , worth $1 000 ,
wore also burned , as was that of E. Dolan
and Its contents , valued at $1,200. The total
loss , as nearly as can be estimated , Is about
$10,000 , partially Insured.

Work In Unit .Section.
OII1I10N , Neb. , Aug. 9. ( Special to The
Heo. ) The lolil crop failure In this vicinity
on account of the drsuth has created n
strong sentiment among the farmers In favor
of Irrigation. Many have kept their gardens
In flourishing condltlin with the water sup
plied by wind mills , which has SIM veil as
an object lesson as to the value of Irrlgitlon.
This locality Is very favorably situated to
Irrigate cheaply , from the fact that at Kear
ney , twelve miles west of Olhhon , the canal
furnishes n large amount of water , which ,
after being used for power purposes. Is si 111
at sullk'lent olcvatli'ii to be conducted through
a canal or main ditch from thcro through
Center , Gibbon nnd Shell n townships on the
divide between Wood rlvor and the Plattc ,
from which lateral ditches would supply the
water to nearly every quarter section In
these townships. The topography of the
country IK very favorable , there being no
deep ravines or hills to Interfere. The land
descends from west to cast about seven
foot per tulle.
An enthusiastic meeting was held last
evening to consider a proposition from the
Kiarnoy Canal company. In which it Is
proposed that If the towns above named
will vote bonds to pay the expense of the
main ditch the company will supply the
water to alt the farmers who will dig the
necessary lateral ditches , the water to cost
not to exceed $1 per aero annual ! }
W C. Tlllotson of Kearney addressed the
meeting , stating the object and proposition.
Mr. Smith , farmer at tlio State Industrial
I School nt Kearney , spoke of the great ad
vantage the Irrigation from the Kearney
l i canal had been to that part of the school
{ > farm that lies below the canal During this
year of unprecedented drouth the practical
benefits are very apparent About July 10
n severe hall storm totally dcstrojed ex
cellent crop * of vegetables and cereals , on
the ruins of which now stands a bounteous
I crop of millet and many kinds of vege
tables that were planted after the hall. The
advantages of this water to this Institution
can be reall/cd when It Is stated that even
In this dry > ear they have raised all the
vegetables that have been required at the
school In some cases , such as cabbage , two
crops are raised on the same land , and of
radishes three crops. The 223 boys , with
the attendants now at the school , consume
two bushels of radishes at n single meal ,
and other vegetables In proportion
Mr. O'Brien , civil engineer of the Kearney
Canal compin > , gave a Nery lucid explana
tion of the construction of Irrigation canals
and their requirements and the extreme ease
of their construction In this territory. The
cltlrons were very much Interested , and n
connnlttu of fifteen farmers was appointed
to examine the Kearney canal from Its
source at the IMatte rlvor , near Elm creek ,
to Its lakes In Kearney ; also the farms that
have used the water this year , and report
to an adjourned meeting Saturday.
