It Is 4 Difficult Problem and the Proe- ress Is Slow. THE TRUST WILL IN ANY EVENT BE 7 Hurried Consultation of Gorman, Smith and Jones to Pre Plans to Bring Aboutan Agreement—The Conferrees Are sum Far Apart on Sugar, Iron and E Coal—To-Day'’s Developments. Wasninotowr, D. C., Aug 4—The tariff conferrees began work again to-day with the sugar schedule the first to be talkea over. It is claimed that the Senate conferrees pointed outa new dimculty which the new schedule was liable to meet when the bill was returned tothe Senate. It was asserted that with the mew schedule the Dill would not receive the votes of Senators Oaffery and Blanchard of Louisiana ( Decause no bounty for this year is provided) or Allen and Kyle, Populists, and that these four votes, with that of Senator Hill, would defeat the bill, The House members say the Louisiana men cannot afford to vote against a bill as favorable to the sugar interests and the new schedule provides, simply because no provision for a bounty on this year’s crop is included, as Congress certainly would passa free sugar bill before adjournment. There was a hurried senatorial conference to-day, participated in by Senators Gorman, Smith and Jones. Previous to this the Louisiana Senators had made a vigorous pro- test against the proposed sugar schedule which did not providefora bounty on the product of this year. The conference was called after the tarriff conferees had Deen in session sume time, and when reports had been in circulation that another hitch bad arisen over the sugar schedule, There have been some very stormy pro- tests from members of the House against it, and some assertions have been made to the effect that it could not pass. The Senatorial conference to-day was to have deen hela to ascertain if some new arrangement of the schedule could not be proposed which would meet with’ more favor. Shortly after the conference of these Senators was rover it was stated dy one who knew what had taken place that the sugar schedule would be fixed up soon and agreed to on the lines suggested yesterday and that the main fight between the conferrees then would be on coal and iron ore, Whena short recess Was taken the House conferrees an- nounced that no agreement had been reechea on the three maln items—stigar. iron and coal. Some of the conferrees said it might take three or four days more to bring the members together. there has Deen some question as to the exact provision of the sugar schedules sub- mitted to the tariff conferrees yesterday. The schedule provides fora duty on raw sugar of 40 per cent; on refined sugar of 40 per cent, onthe quantity of raw sugar nécessary to make the amount of refined in any importa- tion, and of one-fifth of a cent additional, also of one-tenth of a cent from countries paying a bounty on sugar exported. Ihe schedule proposed to-day would give the trust ö cepts per 100 pounds protection by reason of the shrinkage in the process of fining sugar, and 1-5 cent per pound differ- ential would amount to 2 cents per 100 unds, making a total protection to the rast of 2542 cents r 100 pounds, which is the lowest rate thus far suggested. or course, in such a schedule much would de- —— u the scrupulous care and strict onesty of the Treasury Department in ad- ministering de law, but the schedule has this advantage, that so far as the trust is concerned, the protection is almost alto- gether specific, and is not concealed in a mystifying ad valorem duty. LIKE THE CRONIN CASE. Dr. Rrannen Called Away at Night and Missing Since. HAMMOND, Ind., Aug. 4.—Crown Point has @ Sensation somewhat similar to the Cronin mystery. Dr. George D. Brannon. Secre- tary of the Lake County Board of Health, was summoned to attend a man purporting to have been shot, R before midnight. Since then he as n missing, althoagh his friends and family have made every effortto find him. Many are ot the opinion that he was foully dealt with, the cause assigned being the prominent part taken in the prosecution of a large number of Whiting people under the pew State health ordinaace. YELLED LIES A COMARNOHE. Alice Vogeler Fined $26 for Overloading With Liquor. Alice Vogeler, one of the habitues of the First District Police Court, appeared before this tribunal t-day, and was fined $25 by Judge Morris for disturbing the peace. Alice 2 surrounded a jag yesterday afternoon, and while passing up Market street from Second to Third street, created all kinds of disturb- pce.

Rie Was at One Time Empleyed at Fameus—Then Wert Inte the Real Estate Business With 6. W. Culp & Co. -A Letter te His Parts er, Culp, but Ne Cause Assigned ter the Deed —Hie Was a Married Mam and Lived em Victer Street. Herman Moehn,a business broker with an office at 917 Ohestnut street and who lived with bis family at 2200 Victor street, commit- ted suicide yesterday morning in Wickham’s Grand Hotel at Ninth and Chestnut streets, by hanging himseif withatowel. He went to the hotel at 10 o’clock yesterday morning and registering himself as H. Meyer was as- signedarvom. Adout 11 o’clock to-day his dead body was discovered hanging to the upper hinge of the door of his room. It appears that Kohn was at his office early yesterday morning and apparently in the best of spirits. As he walked out shortly de fore 10 o’clock he remarked to Mr. L. D. Picot, from whom he rented desk room, that de would be back soon. He then must have gone directly to Wickham’s Hotel on the corner, as H. O. Brown, the clerk, said he came in there about 10 o’clock, registered his name as H. Meyer, St. Louls, and said he wished a room. He paid for it and was assigned one on the third floor. This morning when the chambermaid was making her rounds she tried the door of his room about 11 o’clocK and found it still locked. Receiving no reply to repeated knocks she pushed the key out on the inside and peeping through saw that the bed had been unoccupied. She then opened the door and was horrified to see the body of Kohn suspended by a towel from the 4oor hinge. Mr. Wickham was at once summonéd, and he in turn notified the police and City Under- taker Pohiman. HOW HE HANGED HIMSELF. It was evident upon investigation that Kohn bad nanged himself soon after entering the room yesterday morning as the body when discovered dad already begun to de- eompose and the air f the room, the win- dows of which had been closed, was exceed- ingly fouland nauseating. He had removed nothing Dut his hat, coat and vest, and tak- ing one ofthe towels from the washstand, tied it tightly around his neck and then se- cured the end to the projecting Knob of the upper door hinge. He ated of strangulation. When found his coat and vest were on the bed and his hat on the Dureas. He had on a white shirt, light pants and tan shoes, his appearance indi- cating that he was a man who dressed well. No one could assign a motive for the deed at the hotel, as he wasa stranger there and nothing Known of him except that he had registered as H. Meyer. Clerk Brown, who assigned him the room, said that he was not under the influence of liquor when he came to the hotel, and neither said nor did any- thing that would indicate hig rash inten- tions. From letters and papers found in his clothes it was ascertained that his name was Henry Kohn and that he had an office at 917 Chestnut street. The office is occupied by L. D. Picot & Co., real estate sgents, and Kohn had rented desk room in it about three weeks ago. AT HIS OFFICE. When a reporter called there a large sign in lead pencil on the desk announced: Kohn is not in.

This Government Will Not Act in Con- cert With European Powers — TO KEEP OPEN THE TREATY PORTS OF THE CHINESE EMPIRE Our Pesition Will Be One ef “Benecve- lent Neutrality’’—The Course te Be Persued Will Be the Same as That Fellewed in the Brazilian Revolu- tien—Further Fighting in Corea. Wasninotor, Aug. 4.—A strong denial is entered at the State Department of the pub. lished story that the United States has or will enter into a treaty with European : pow- ers to forcioly occupy and keep open the treaty portsof China. Itis also denied that any overtures to that end havecome tous from other countries. When the conditions were such that war wasonly threatened the United States did use its good offices to avert the evil. It did soto carry outa solemn ob- ligation imposed upon us by the treaty with Corea whereby we bound ourselves to pro- tect Corea in the following terms: ‘*If other powers deal unjustly or oppres- sively with either government the other will exert their good offices on being informed of the case, to bring about an amicable arrangement, thus showing their friendly feelings This obligation was entered into in 1892, and it was under its terms that the President indicated to Japan that he would be pained should she inflict an unjust war upon Corea. That was as far as the United States coula go in the interest of our good offices and de- sides the shifting of the war cloud from Corea to China, relieved us from the neces- sity of further action. Itissaidatthe State Department that the attitude of the United States toward the bel- ligerents in the present war will be pat- terned upon our course at Rio. We will side with neither China nor Japan, but as was — by Mr. Bayard, our Ambassador to t Britain, whois fully aware of what is going on, the attitude of the United States will be one of denevolent neutrality. This is in Keeping with our traditions and its prue Genes and safety has been amply demon- strated in the past. As far as our own come merce is conceraed we will aceord it such measure of protection and immunity from interference as may be justiy claimed as our rights, but the present dispo- sition at the State Wepartment isto do this individually or not in concert with other European nations. In other words, while we may act as the other powers do upon that point, we will not be a party toa joint treaty or combination, the object of which is forci- ble interference in China or Japan. Doudt- less it willl develop thatin many points we may act in accord with other commercial powers, but as it remained for us at Rioto adopt a boid and radical course single banded, soit may de in China or Japan that we shallact independently upon a certain condition of affairs. At present we are scarcely ina position to make much of a naval demonstration in Asiatic waters. The entire United States fieet there consists of two vessels, the Halti- more and the Monocacy. Abouta week ago orders were sent to Behring Sea to have the Concord and the Petrel sent over to join the station, and that is all that has been done in that direction, so far. Secretary Herbert, before leaving for Alabama last night, said that he had given no further orders for rein- forcemen‘s, and acting Secretary McAdoo has not moved in the matter to-day. - IN JAPANESE CAPTIVITY. Three Officers eof a British Transport Made Prisemers. SHANGHAI, Aug. 4.—Capt. Galswortby, Chief Officer Tamplin and Quartermaster Evangel- ist of the sunken transport Kow Shung, who were rescued by the boats of the Japanese cruiser, have been taken to Sasebo, where they are held as prisoners. Admiral sir E. R. Freemantie, in command of the British-China squadron, has ordered the Alacrity, four guns, 1,700 tons, Capt. George A. Callaghan, from Sushima to Sasebo, with instructions to demand the re- lease of the British sallors. Upon her arrival at Nagasaki the com. mander of the British warship was informed that the prisoners would be delivered up to him to-day at Nagasaki. SEEKING WAR MATERIAL. Lowpon, Aug. 4.—In spite of the instruc- tions which as announced, were sent to Admiral Sir E. R. Fremantle, in command of the China station, not to allow British ships tocarry war material to either China or Japan, it is Enown that the Ohinese Minister here is busy with the Armstrong people of —— = pode 9 bes Sa 4 jj 4 * 73 ** 2250 we cr 5 ‘ . sensions of his own country, which at last reached an acute stage and demanded a foreign war as wet | sible means of unify- ing once more the A people.

The Arastic character of the reforms and the endless number of them have been a source of deepest misery tothe masses, and have been carried out only by the most merciless application of brute force. The reaction has reached a stage where the stability of the Government is threatened. Under the cir- cumstances there is nothing left the Japan- ese Emperor but the Napoleonic expedient. ROUTED WITH GREAT Loss. Japan Overwhelming Defeat of Chinese by Japanese Troops. Wasuincror, D. C., Aus. 4.—From the Japanese foreign vffice at Tokio there has come to the Japanese Legation here a tele- gram stating that on the, 29th ult., a portion of the Japanese troo at Seoul marched against a much larger force of Chinese in- trenched at Shan Yeng. It is reported that heavy fighting followed, the Chinese being routed with great loss, and a large number of prisoners, arms and supplies being captured, the morning of the 80th the Japanese started for Gasan. Shan Yeng is situated be- tween Seoul and Gasan. It is believed by the Japanese officers that th Chinese reports of Japanese defeat at Gasafi have been greatly exaggerated. The legation has hada long telegram confirming the Japanese om cial of the sinking of the transport Kow Shung. This report declares that the first attack was made by the Chinese cruiser Chin Yuen, which fired a torpedo at the Japanese crulser, Naniwa Kan. DISASTROUS FOR THE CHINESE. LONDON, Aug. 4. -News from Tokio tells of a fresh collision between Japanese and Chinese in Corea. After their second defeat the Japanese took the offensive, fell upon the Chinese and completely routed them. A Formal Deeleration of War. WasSHINGTON, D. C., Aug. 4.—The Japan- ese Legation has received a telegram an- nouncing that on Aug. lan imperial rescript was issued by the Emperor of Japan, formally announcing that war had been declared against China. Mr. Miyouska, the Japanese Charge, probably will communicate this formal eclaration of war to Secretary Gresham to-day. BRAINED HIM. David Phillips, a Hod Carrier, Kills Will Jones, a Fellow- Worker. — — About 1 o’clock this giternoon David Pull. lips and Will Jones, two colored hodcarriers employed by Contractor William McBride, on a new bulildiag on Semple avenue detween Ridge and Minerva avenues, became involved in a quarrei which resulted in the death of Jones. Phillips, after the killing, surrendered himself atthe Sixth District Police Station and stated that he had thrown a brick at Jones which struck himinthe head and re- sulted in his death. He claimed, bowever, that Jones had first assaulted him and attempted to knock him down with a brick. Phillips said he was 26 years old, single, and lived at 2304 Morgan street. The man who was killed, Will Jones, 16 said to de married and has a family living on Carr near Twenty -second street. The police took charge of the remains and had them conveyed to the Morgue. PULLMAN SHOPS. 600 Men Were at Morning. CHICAGO, III., Aug. 4.— The shops at Pull- mar closed to-day at 12:45 o’clock for the Saturday half holiday. About 600 men were at work inthe repair shops at that hour. It is expected that 750 men will de on hand Monday. The strikers seemed discouraged to-day, although their leaders would not ad- mit that the resumption Of work has affected their cause. When the men left the shops a mobof a 100 strikers collected about the works, and after following the workmen with hoots and howls assaulted a carver named John Swan. son. Before rescued by the police Swanson was terribly beaten, Dut will probably re- cover. About Work This ASKIKG REINSTATEMENT. CINCINNATI, O., Aug. 4.—Committees repre- senting strikers called on the officials of dit- ferent railroads to-day, asking reinstate- ment. The movement is the outgrowth of recent mectings of the American Rallway Union and others who struck. The men ad- mitted their mistake in sympathetic striking and were disposed to drop Debsand other leaders. President Ingalls promised a reply on Monday for the Big Four system. None of the other roads gave any assurance to the committee, There are about 1,500 peri- re rallroaders idle here on account of the strike, ARRESTED FOR INCITING A RIOF.] Cuicaco, III., Aug. As the result of a conference between the Mayor and other city officials with F. B. Heims, a railroad man, a member of the A. R. U., the authorities have arrested W. P.

L The Injury Inflieted Thursday by Den- ward Ezzell. THE FATAL KICK WAS ADMINISTERED IN THE ABDOMER. Marrison Claims Ezzell Inmsulted Mrs. Harrison and That This Led te the Fight— Refused te Permit an Opera- tien to Be Performed Until After Per- ‘ fitenttis Had Set In—Little Hope ter the Injured Man's Recovery. Nicholas Harrison, a laborer living in the rear of 1287 North Eighth street, was kicked in the abdomen by Denward Ezzell, and in all probability will die some time to-day. Ez- oll has been arrested. The fracas in which Harrison received his injuries happened Thursday night. Both EKrzell and Harrison live in the same house. According to the story told by Harri at the hospital, Ezzell came home drunk and insulted Harrison’s wife. THE KICK. Harrison resented the’ the two men engaged in a fight. Ezzell kicked Harrison in the abdomen. The police came and took Harrison tothe hospital. Dr. Heine Marks, when he exam- ined Harrison’s injuries, decided that he was suffering from a perforation of the intestines. He advised Harrison and his wife, who accom panied her injured husband to the hospital, that it would be necessary to he vo an operation of laparotomy performed to prevent periton- itisfrom setting in. At the same time Dr. Marks explained the dangers of such an operation, WOULD NOT ALLOW THE OPERATION. Both husband and wife refused to allow the operation to be performed. This morning Harrison was suffering from an aggravated case of general peritonitis, and be asked Dr. Marks to perform the oper- ation of laparotomy. Mrs. Harrison also in- sisted that the operation should be per- formedand Dr. Marks yielded totheir en- treaties, although he realized that Harri- son’s chances for recovery were now very slight. A large perforation of the duodenum was found. Dr. Marks believes that Harrison cannot recover. insult and — THE TOP OF HIS HEAD Entirely Blewn Off by a Despendent Nebraska Farmer.

C., Aug. 4.—The Hawalian Royal Commissioners called on Secretary Gresham at the State Department to-day and had a pleasant and entirely informal conference with him, at which Hawalian af- fairs were discussed. Mr. Wideman aid most of the talking for the commissioners. It could not be learned at the State Depart- ment what proposition the Hawalian royal ists submitted to Secretary Gresham, nor in fact, whether or not any proposition had been put forward. The Secretary questioned the cqmmission- er closely as to the authority by which he appeared, what the commission was doing here and as to Hawalian affairs generally. Toall of these questions Mr. Wideman re- 9 freely, and among other things dis- abused the secretary’s mind of the impression that the commission was seeking to influence Congress in the ex-Queen’s favor. The in- terview was characterized by the best jof feeling, but when the commissioner left it was not known whether he would call again, and as he had been given to understand that the commission cannot be dealt with of- ficially by the department there is ground —— the presumption that the mission is at an end.
