BUT THEY STILL ARGUE ! Senator Jones Admits no Agreement lias Been Reached, but Declares the Outlook Is Cheering. Washington, Aug. n. When the Dem ocratic tarill conference adjourned Inst evening it wns understood on all sides thnt the Democrats would report to the full conference today. Members of the conference supported the general faith by their statemeuts, which were mora or less (anguine or guarded, depending upon tlio temperament of the sneaker. While the Utterances at the time of adjournment were not so strong as those which were heard earlier In the aftcruobn they were still sufficiently assuring to justify tho statement that, barring Improbablo con tingencies, the Democratic members of the conference will And themselves pre pared some time during the day, or at the latest tomorrow, to call In the Repub lican members of the conference for a full meeting. "I will not say," paid Senator Jones last night, "that wo have agreed, for that would not be true, but the situation is cheerful, and the indications are that we shall finish the work tomorrow. If we do not come to an agreement tomorrow I shnll consider the conference at an end, for I do not see the use of continuing our In terviews with the house conferrees any longer. This situation was at the end of a day which had started out with a determina tion on the part of the senate conferrees, supported by the conservative senators. to bring the question at issue to a finality during the day, and which later brought the positive, though unofficial, announce ment that this end had been accomplished and an understanding reached. The re port began to gain circulation about 1 o'clock, and It grew stronger and stronger, without receiving positive confirmation from those in u position to know the facts, until 2:30, when members of the confer ence and senators who had been closeted with them confirmed it to the extent of saying that, while all the details had not been arranged, they felt confident that a basis had been found upon which tho con ferrees of both houses could stand, and terms actually agreed upon which the conservative senators would accept. Both Democrats and Republicans accepted this as the appronch of the end, and as equal to a definite announcement of agreement. When, however, tho conference recon vened at 8 o'clock it soon developed that by no means all the details had been ar ranged, and also that there was more or less opposition to the program, and It was not long before the conferrees found themselves bothering over mnuy of the same propositions which they had been considering for days. It also became noised about that the outlook was not bo bright as it had appeared a few hours be fore. It was understood that objection had been made from the house to tho reten tion of the duty on coal, and that certain senators, among whom was Senator Pugh, of Alabama, had taken a decided stand against what they termed the sucrlflce pf Iron ore. These complaints were sufficient i to cause the conferrees to halt for a time, and it is known that some difficulties were encountered in adjusting the differences on other schedules. The conferrees were, therefore, not as sanguine upon the adjournment of their afternoon session as they were when the forenoon session closed. They came out of the conference somewhat anxious, but still, as they averted, hopeful that today would see the final adjustment of their differences. They stated that the coal and iron ore rates were among those which had not been fixed beyond recall. Indeed sugar appears from the statements given out lo be tho only article upon which u definite conclusion has been reached, but it was understood that either coat or iron ore would go to the free list and the other would be dutiable at tho senate rate, During the day it was first ore and then the other of these articles that was to bo free, and finally it was left open until today. The Republican steering committee of the senate held a session immediately af ter the adjournment of the senate to con sider the situation. The understanding among them was to the effect that the Democrats had got close enough together to allow tho tariff bill to be reported back to the senate today. There were present Republicans who had information as to the status of the bill, and they stated that upon the manufacturing schedules the enata rates in the main obtained, but on the three principal Items, sugar, coal and Iron, a compromise had been reached. It was from this standpoint that the Repub licans discussed the bill and the possibil ity of defeating it. It was first ascertained that every Re publican and the Populists Feffer and Stewart would vote against the hill, and that Mr. Hill would also oppose it. Three more votes were necessary to defeat it. The announcement was made with con siderable directness that both Messrs. Caffery and lilanchard, of Louisiana, would vote against, though they were not considered absolutely certain. One of the senators had asked Senator Allen as to the position of himself and Mr. Kyle, who voted for the bill wheu it passed tho senate, and while he ha 1 not received a positive answer, the Inference was that the Populists seemed to think It was a part of their policy to vote agutust the bill. Willi the Republican side solid, and Hill, Caffciry, Hlanchard and Alleu with them the bill could not pass, Tho Republicans had to acknowledge, how ever, that thepipectsof getting all three of the last named was extremely doubtful. The imuressiou prevailed that the de- clstvt vote wourtr oe taKen tocray, and as sent senators were telegraphed to return to Washington, It is not the purpose of the Republicans to consume any time in debate. It is probable that they will bo willing to take a vote very soon after tho report is made. Their motion will ba to indefinitely postpone the bill, and this, they think, will be the test. The other motion by the friends of tho bill will be to agree to the report of the conference committee, but If the motion to Indefin itely postpone falls the motion to agree Is very likely to be carried by the same vote.

Evans was employed at a dye works In Frankford. Tho motive for the deed was probably revenge, as Evans had been a worthless and cruel husband for years, and Mrs. Evans' par ents finally induced her to leave him, Evans was jealous of Hecht, but without cause. Mrs. Evans will recover. Sensational Ilreak In Corn. New York, Aug. 9. The corn market had another active day of It yesterday, with a sensational break In prices which practically wiped out all of Tuesday's gain. There was an outpour of long stuff that simply inunduted tho market and broke prices four cents a bushel and eight cents at Chicago. Tho bulls started In to check the decline, and succeeded after September had sold down to 60c, De cember to 55lc. and May to 54c.

A COUNTY SEAT LETTER. Great Interest Manifested in the Approaching Primary Elections. SATURDAY WILL DECIDE ! Wllli Harmony In the Ranks the Repub licans Can Defeat the Whole Demo cratic Ticket Next Fall. Special IIititALD correspondence POTTSVILLE, Aug. 8. The unexpected did not happen In tho Democratic county convention hero on Monday. Hon. James B. Reilly was re-nominated, but his eleo- tionthls time is very doubtful. It depends on whether the Republicans will unite, If they support tho nomlnoo of the party, no matter who he may be, there will be no room for doubt that the Republicans will saore n victory noxt fall. Tho Re publicans must act In harmony this year and It will be a crime If they do other wise. At this writing harmony seems to pre vail in the ranks, and it is good politics. Brumm. Shoeuernnd Losch nre able men nnd the one who Ritu the nomination should bo supported to a man. The Re publicans have the power now to elect everything, and If they have not got the sense to do It they mny ns well pick up their tents and sees: some otner county. My predictions from time to time that Hon. T. J. Hlggins would lead in the race for Sheriff In the Democratic county con ventton were verified, were they not ? I do notclalm greatcredlt, or super-natural power for making such precise perdictlons. Mr. Iliizuins Is a hustler and n man with the poorest vision could see his strides were telling ones. I will now venture to predict that Hon. Elins Davis, of Broad Mountain, will be Mr. Higglns' opponent. There will bo an ex-member of the Leuis lnture on each side, and keep your eye on Ell when the bell sounds. Alexander Scott, of Frackville, has made a good llcht for the Republican nomination for Sheriff against Mr. Davis, and to the credit of both gentlemen be it said that so far as 1 can learn tho cnuvass has been a very honorable one. I express tho sentiment of many when I say It is regretted that there is not room on the ticket for both gentlemen. As it is, I fear Mr. Scott will not got on the ticket this year. Mr. Davis lias a popularity wltn the working people which will give him tremendous strength In the convention and his experience In previous campaigns will servo him well in catching up where his popularity muy inn to niaKu an lm nrension. The Congressional contest on tho Re- nubllcan side is as It was a month ng between Brumm, Shoener and l.oscli. The three are woiking night nnd day and each man is ns oonlldent as ever. There Is considerable hustling among the Republican candidates in this district for the Legislative nomination. The ad vent of Dr. Quail, of Auburn, mado the bnttlo very interesting, nnd that gentle man, with ilartng, urme, uoxo nnd btucx, 1.4 leading the van. The interest In the am teaching prima ries Is Intense. A house to house canvass Is being mnde to get out every vote on Saturday. Great Interest was aroused hereto-day In tho fight for the Republican Senatorial nomination in the Thirtieth dlstrct by a report tuat John i'. Finney would prob ably dron into it. I called to see Mr. Fin ney to-day. but learned that he had taken a trip to Harrisburg. The sentiment here Is that Mr. Finney is capable of jumping Into the fight nnd winning, If he wishes to do so. Tho announcement that MoIIenry Wilhelm hnd withdrawn from the fight did not creoto n stir nt head quarters hero. MacIIenry has not been looked upon as a serious candidate by many.

With tho advent of each day the popu larity of our townsman, Joseph W yatt, the Republican candidate for the Legisla tive nomination, shows a mnrkeu in crease and unless something unforeseen occurs he will go into the convention with n strength which will give him the nomi nation.
