CONFERliESJIEASONING
Getting Closer Together on the
Tariff Differoiioog.
C0MPB0MISE AGREEMENT LIKELY.
One of tlin Sinntnrlnt Mlnbera of tlioCon.
farenc 1'rcdlcts That the 1 1 1 1 1 at Finally
Agreod Uptin Will blteportd on Mou
day.
Washington, Aur. 2. It was stated by
one of tho Democratic sennte conferee!
today tlint there was a possibility ol
reaching an nnreemont on the tariff bill
about the end of the week, with the prob
ability that the bill as finally agreed on
would be reported on Monday. It wai
found by the conferees yesterday that
they had a great many questions to go
over and agree upon, even after the main
points In dispute are settled. It wnsstatcd
by the house conferees that they had not
made as much progress as they had hoped.
Tho agreement when It comes will be a
compromise, as both house and senate
feel that concessions will have to bo made.
On the great questions of difference
coal, Iron ore nnd sugar there has been
no agreement, although It was under
stood that different propositions wett
made and rejected yesterday, It Is be
lieved, however, that if the sugar schedule
ffiw disposed of the other difference!
would not long bo allowed to stand in the
way. The senate conferees still take the
posltiou that they have nothing to com
promise on BUgar, but it is Btnted that a
counter proposition is to be made to the
house on this schedule.
In this councctlon a significant nnd pri
vate conference was held last night, at
tended, as near as can bo learned, by Sen
ators llrice, Smith, Murphy, Jones and
Vest. It could not be learned if Scnatoi
Gorman was present. It is understood
that the sugar schedule was the subject
under discussion, and that the amount ol
concession which will be yielded by the
senators who liave tho bill in charge wai
finally decided upon. It is possible that
tho other differences which exist wert
discussed at the conference. The fact that
the jiouse Democratic caucus was post
poned Is regarded as a victory for the
house conferees, which gives them a pres
tige in the contest, although their frlcudi
were confluent that in the event of a
caucus it would result In an indorsement
of the stand taken by them.
The senate managers, who do not like
to concede that there has been any waver
lng in their lines, say that the house hai
never had an opportunity to pass upon
the senate bill, and inferentially leave the
impression that they expect a report not
of an entire agreement, but a disagree
ment, as to many matters for which the
senate contends, and that the bill will be
sent to the house in the hope that concur
rence may result. It was claimed that
thin course was felt to be preferable to the
caucus plan, nnd as the bill would be in
possession of the house there would not
be a charge of discourtesy to the conferees.
One Of the Democratic conferees who
has been most persistent in saying that
no agreement was in sight, said last night
that tho situation was more hopeful ol
agreement than that at any time, but he
added that the compromise and agree
ment would be more in the nature of re
writing the schedules than in material
changes.
Xrour Train Jumpers Killed.
West Chester, Pa., Aug. a. A rail
road accident in which four men were in'
stantly killed and two fatally Injured oc
curred at Pomeroy Station, on tho Penn
sylvania railroad, at a late hour Tucs
day night. An axle on n coal car broke
While the heavy train was running swiftly
down a grade and forty cars were piled In
a heap In an instant. Charles Black, the
engineer, was fatally Injured, and Mllei
Frankford, a brakeman, had a hip broken.
There were nine tramps stealing a ride on
the train, and four of these were killed.
One of these was Charles Kinsey, colored,
of Egglestone Springs, Va., and anothei
William Fields, of Allegheny, Pa. The
names of the others are not known.
Unionists Desert the Commons.
London, Aug. 2. The threats of the
Unionists in thehousoof commons to take
no part in the committee report stages ol
the evicted tenants' bill are being carried
out, and when the debate on the bill wai
resumed the opposition seats were empty.
The house presented a most unusual as
pect, and no similar scene has been wit
nessed since the Liberal party in 1S87,
headed by Mr. Gladstone, quitted the
house on the proposal by the Conserva
tive majority of olosure of debate on the
Irish crimes bill. The absence of the op
portunists was made the most of by the
government, and considerable progress in
the discussion of the evicted tenants' bill
was made.
Partisan Sngar Inveatteatton Reports.
Washington, Aug. 2. Tho Benate sugat
trust investigation committee was in ses
sion yesterday considering the final re
port soon to be made by the committee.
There is no longer any doubt that the
Democratic members of tho committee
and the Republican members will present
a disagreement on the main features de
veloped by the Inquiry, and there will be
two reports, showing the political shad
ings of the two parties represented by the
senators.
Chief aialaboeh Surrenders.
Pretoria, Transvaal, Aug. 3. Chief
Malaboch, who has been giving so much
trouble to the authorities of tho South
African republlo, has surrendered. Many
of the Kaffirs were killed or injured in
the various attempts which they made to
escape from the caves in which they had
ought refuge and from which the Doera
have been trying to dislodge them foi
tome time past.
Against I'asses and Woman SnfTrage.
Albany, Aug. 2. The railroad com
mittee of the state constitutional conven
tion decided to report favorably the
amendment forbidding any public official
to accept a railroad pass. The committee
on BUffrago decided to report adversely on
all the woman suffrage amendments.

pAINT cracks It
- often costs more to prepare a
house for repainting that has been
painted in the first place with cheap
ready-mixed paints, than it would
to have painted it twice with strict
ly pure white lead, ground in pure
linseed oil.
Strictly Pure
White Lead
forms a permanent base for repaint
ing and never has to be burned or
scraped ofT on account of scaling
or cracking. It is always smooth
and clean. To be sure of getting
strictly pure white lead, purchase

DIQQINQ KAURI GUM.
A Curious but Important lnduitrrrcctillar
to New Zealand.
Kauri gum digging Is nn Industry pe
culiar to Now Zealand, though copal gum,
tho product of an African forest true, Is
procured In a vory similar manner. Tho
gum Is tho hardened sap or rosin of tho
knurl plno and is found imbedded In tho
onrth of moorlands, whero tho soli Is light
nnd clayey. Such soil contains plccvs of
hardened gum, vnrylng from mcro frag
inonts to blocks as largo as n man's body.
It Is Just bslow tho surfaco of the ground,
or nt a depth of from 0 to 12 feet. Tlio
land which contnlns It Is usually poor and
bleak, though tho gum sometimes occurs
In growing kauri forests, especially arouud
tho roots of old or dead kauris. Curious
ly, tho sap or rosin of tho living trees Is
not of any ftilue, being too soft. It must
bo burled underground for many years be
fore It acquires tho hardness noccssary to
fit It for tho murket.
Tho gum, as It Is dug up, Is In a Mint
fossilized condition and is found wherever
In past ages kauri forosts grew, and of
course the existing kauri forests nro mnk
lng deposits which will bo useful In years
to como. It Is very liko amber In appear
ance and In general qualities, though it
Is not so beautiful or valuable Clear or
prettily marked iielcos are often mado into
brooches, earrings or other small orna
ments, but they are too brittle to bo of
much value. In color the gum varies from
n palo yellow to a brown or even Jot
black, nnd, Uko amber, is clear or clouded.
Naturally enough, a substance so Uko am
ber is often fraudulently pasbed oft ns am
ber or used In tho various compositions
mudo to counterfeit that beautiful product.
Tho clearer It U tho more highly it Is 08
toemed, Small Insects, bugs and lllos aro
sometimes found imbedded In It
Kauri gum camo into tho market in tho
years 1840 and 1S11, when New Zealand
was first colonized by tho Urltlsh. The
Maoris used to collect It and sell It to the
storekeepers at lf6 to $30 a ton. For many
years tho amount exported was very small,
not more thnn 100 tons per annum, Moot
of the gum that is produced is sold to tho
United States, New York and lloston buy
ing two-thirds of tho whole annual out
put. Tho gum digging Industry employs
about 2,000 men, though this number is
constantly fluctuating, and at times as
ninny ns 4,000 people have been cngnged
In It. In tho three years from 1870 to 1872
lucluslvo, tho nmount exported was very
largo, being about 15,000 tons, valued at
$2,500,000. From 1853 to 1880 Inclusive
tho total output was about 70,000 tons,
valued at moro than $10,000,000. The
prico of gum varies considerably, accord
lng to its density, clearness, hardnoss and
other qualities, but tho averugu prico ll
about $315 n ton,
Tho land, which is now covored with
ferns, wus onco clothed with kauri forests,
but how long ago tho forests died, ond how
old they wcro when they died is very hard
to toll. Tho work of gum digging is ar
duous, and tho hours of labor, especially
In summer, aro long. St. Louis Globe

Forty Aores.of Lumber Wiped Out
by tho Flames.
TEE LOSS WILL EEA0H $2,000,000.
A Suddrn Ctianxn of the Wlnil Drive, tlie
Flanif. tT,on th l'lrrintin. Who are ,
Compnlleil lu Flee Two lopU Dead
and Another Fntally Injured,
ClllCAoa, Aug. 2. The lumber district
of Chicago was last night visited by one
ot tho most disastrous fires In its history,
and the loss will probably foot up between
f 1,500,(XI0 and 2,0O0,0UO, although it will
be twenty-four hours before the dnmnga
can bo estimated with accuracy. The
burned district U about six squares from
east to west, and about three from north
to south. The greatest portion of the
district bounded by Ulue Island avenue,
Lincoln street, the river and Ashland
avenue was burned over, and forty acres
of lumber yards are nothing but smoking
embers.
The Are was discovered by a watchman.
He saw n blaze on the outide of the
fence ou the east sido of Lincoln street,
near a shingle shed belonging to S, K.
Martin & Co. He turned lu nu alarm,
but before the first engines arrived the
shingle shed wan a mass of flames, which
had communicated to the surrounding
lumber plies. The wind drovo the flames
so fiercely that tho first engines were ut
terly helpless, and call for additional help
was umde until fifty engines and three
flrebouts weru at work on tho tiro.
The course of the llames was southeast
and east for the first forty-five minutes,
and they literally licked up everything in
their path. Piles of lumber, lath, shingles
and cedar posts were swallowed up with
an appalling rapidity. The wind sud
denly changed at 0:80 o'clock and began
to blow from the south, and with much
less violence than before. The flames
started rapidly north Hgaln, and burned
back to n lino level with its starting point.
The suddon change In the direction of
the flames caught several engine compan
ies unprepared aud tho men were com
pelled to run for their lives. Two engines
were abandoned. The llreboat Yossmlte
was at work lu one of the slips when the
fire changed and the long tongues of
flames which shot over her mado It neces
sary that sho be removed at once. Her
steam was so low that tho boat could not
be moved with any rapidity, and the men
frantically pushed her off with poles nnd
boards. She finally escaped with no more
damage than a severe scorching In sev
eral places.
The nreboat Geyser ran through tho
flames which leaped out over the slip and
escaped unharmed. Two of her men, John
JlcCann and Thomas Freeding, were
badly burned while flghtihg the Are. Both
were knocked over the side of tho boat
upon a pile of burning cedRr poles. Their
injurlos nre not fatal. Peter Phelan, a
pipeman, Inhaled hot air and was badly
burned.
In addition the firemen injured tho foi
lowing casualties occurred: Otto Hatter
fell olt a lumber pile, back broken and
will die; unknown man struck on the
head by a Hying cap from a fire engine.
knocked Into tho river aud drowned; un
known boy pushed Into the river by tho
crowd and drowned.
