Free Coal and Other ConcessionsThis is Refused and Are Offered t ree Sugar in Exchange , for All Other Senate -A j Amendments, Whieh i They Decline to" i Accept. ! ' ;: WASniNOTON", Aug. 9. The Demo cratic tariC "frees had expected to be able to anno;. .- i.a agreement to-day. Instead of reaching any definite conclu sion, the day closed with the bill in quite as uncertain a state as ever before in 4ts history, with the situation in no wise im proved ,- and with the feeling between the friends of the Senate bill and the House bill intensified instead of allayed, and with ,no one prepared ,to.aay. what the outcome swill be or when the end will be , reached. ..It was apparent at the very; beginning of the conference that those who had come to t'i? conclu sion at the adjournment of ye t oday's session that an agreement would uj ar rived at to-day had not taken sufficiently into account the possibility of a misun derstanding or a change of mind. This discovery! was made when the Senate conferees prepared to go on with the bill upon the basis of a duty of 40 cents per ton on coal and free iron of e, whereupon the House conferees announced their un willingness to accept this ; arrangement and stated that they would insist upon a reversal of these terms, with coal free and iron ore dutiable if either was to be, as they understood that they were to have a choice between the two. i The avowal of this position produced imme diate confusion, and led to an exchange of remarks wrhich were not altogether polite. The Senate conferees thereupon de cided to report the state of affairs to the "conservative" Senators and when the conferees ! adjourned called Senators Gorman, Brice, Smith and Murphy into consultation. The whole situation was outlined to them. They were, not only made acquainted with the demand of the House conferees for free coal, but were also gien-to understand that other material concessions would be expected by the House conferees along the entire line of the iftll, including woolens, cot tons, metals, glass and earthenware. They decided upon an emphatic nega tive in reply to these propositions, sayiDg that if the body of the bill was not pre served virtually as it passed the Senate the report of the conference when made would not be accepted by the Senate, i Senator Brice proposed an innovation in the shape of a proposition that the House conferees be giyen an opportunity to secure free sugar. His idea in detail was that the Senate conferees, should volunteer to recede entirely from the Senate sugar schedule, leaving both raw and refined sugar on the free list as pro vided in the House bill and that the Sen ate bill should be otherwise accepted Virtually in its present shape, with 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 1 three re sults. If it should be declined by the House conferees it would, place. the responsibility for tne sugar duty upon them. If it should be ac cepted and the Senate should on this account refuse to adopt the committee's report, the House conferees would still bear the clium forinsistingupon amend ing the Senate bill.'If, thirdly," he said", 'they should accept; if a report should be made upon these lines anil if the re port should be accepted by Utli Houses, and should become a law, we should all be happy." , 1 u f The" conferees adopted ' the suggestion and presented the proposition to the afternoon session of -the conference be tween the members of the two Houses. It is understood that the proposition cre ated some surprise on the part of the House members, who at first evinced a disposition to accept it, but after consid erable discussion of the merits of this feature of the proposition and of the other features, involving the acceptance of "the other' Senate amendments, de clined to vouchafe an answer without further consideration. The question was therefore undisposed ' of when the con ference ad iourued for the day. ; ! The Republican members were also in consultation with the Senatorial tariff conferees during the day, and it -is un derstood have given notice that if there is material change in the more important schedules relating to the manufactured articles, they will resist the immediate disposition of the committee's report when made, and have stated that in that event more tariff oratory may be ex- nected. l."The recort." said Chairman Wilson, that the President had smashed the compromise agreed upon Dy icne con- - i f pres on coal, sugar ana iron ore yesier- liiv is aa absurd invention. There is not a word of truth m it, ana you may say x said so: The President has never inter fered with our deliberations in the Rlurhtest manner. He has treatei the matter with great delicacy. "Have you talked with the President durine the various stages of the situa tion;1 he was asKea. . 'I have seen him occasionally duting the oast few weeks." Mr. Wilson re- Dhed. "but ue has never mamtestea tne slightest inclination, to instruct the con ferees as to their duty, as Ji say, ne had shown unusual delicaGy in his ref erences to the matter in dispute. I have felt it only proper, since the President is the head of the party, to acquaint bim with what we are doing, but beyond a general conversation nothing of special importance has passed between us." This authoritative statement maae Dy Mr. Wilson was called out (by the stories that were f reelv circulated about both wings of the Capitol to-day. Raising One Dollar Bills.

The Britannia Comes in a Little Ahead on a 4-Mile Race The f Britannia Secretly liight- f; f- ened Challenge for i the j Cape May Cup Race. Co wes, Aug. 9. In a good club top sail breeze, though white-capped but not tumultuous seas, the Britannia defeated the American sloop Vigilant to-day over a course of forty-eight nautical miles ty 2 minutes and 3 seconds, actual time, and 4 minutes and 17 seconds, corrected time. About half of the contest was windward work, in which the British cutter had decidedly the better of it. She also showed surprising swiftness in running, which is attributed to. surrepti tious lightening of the ship while she was in dock last night. The "Vigilant, on the two 12-mile legs of the course in wnich the yachts sailed almost dead be fore the -wind, beat the Britannia by 1 minute ;and 82 seconds, but the cutter in the weather battle worsted the Yankee yacht by 3 minutes and ; 45 seconds. Over i the ? last nine miles of the course, all wind ward tussling, the Vigilant' puzzled her admirers by beating the Britannia 1 minute and 27 seconds. In the other fifteen miles of tacking the British yacht had led the Vigilant by 5 - minutes'" and 12 seconds. If the centreboard had shown the same weatherly qualities in the first part of the race she would have won the Cowes town cup, valued at $500, witn tne same ease that she captured the prize over the same course on Sat urday. Then she finished in funereal si lence. To-day as the Prince's yacht crossed the line British throats distended with hilarious shouts and all the steam yachts shrieked. This time the white sloop was also applauded. She had lost. lbere were six yachts entered for the race, including the Satanita, but only the Vigilant and the Britannia sailed. The wind was brisk from the west. The course was from the club house of - the Royal Yacht's squadron of Cowes to and around a markboat off Lepe, thence east ward to and around the Warner light ship, at the entrance to the English channel and back to the starting point, twice around. The breeze was not strong enough to suit the American yachtsmen. it enabled the boats to carry their light weather topsals. In Saturday's contest it was somewhat stronger and ordinary working topsails were used. The Britan? nia got the weather gauge on the Yankee at the start and crossed the line 2 sec onds ahead of her at 10:30 o'clock. Tho Britannia was apparently handled better than the Yankee and she led 1 minute and 40 seconds at Lepe.' Besides spinnakers the yachts carried big topsails. In the twelve mile Btretch out to the Warner the "Sankee picked up 1 minute and 7 seconds. Both yachts held to their spinnakers until they were opposite Ryde, where, getting the breeze more cn the quarter, they gathered in the great sails, and, later, preparatory to round ing the Warner, they hauled down their big 31b topsails. Rounding the Lepe a second time the Britannia was 4 min utes and 5 seconds ahead. On the last leg of the course the Vigi lant gained on the Britannia, but not enough to win. The Prince of Wales has accented Mr. Gould's proposition for three match races, the best two out of three to win, over an open course for 5,000. The first of these races will be Railed Monday out side the Needles, over a course of thirty miles, fifteen to windward or leeward and return. Mr. Gould has challenged the Prince for the Cape May cup, which must be sailed for, according to the conditions, within fifteen days of the receipt of the challenge. The Cape May cup was won by the Geneeta after her defeat by the Puritan. The schooner Dauntless was the British cutter's opponent and she was easily defeated. . The Navahoe tried to recapture the trophy last year but failed, The British course in the Cape May cup race is from the Isle of Wight. past the Needles, to Cherbourg and re turn, a distance of 1 23 miles. OFFICIAL RECOGNITION Of t he Republic of Hawaii Petition ing House Conferees to Stand . Firm The Ericsson's Trial Trip The Hatch Bill . I Reported? Washington, Aug. 9. It is officially confirmed that in reply to. Minister Wil lis' note, stating that he had accorded his recognition to the Republic of Hawaii so far as he had the right to do so," but that further action must depend upon the Government at Washington, a reply has-been sent to Minister Willis, approv ing his course and according to the Re public of Hawaii the recognition of the United States. The text of the letter, however, will not be made public till Mr. Willis' reply is received. A petition was to-day circulated among members of the House of Representa tives, urging the House tariff conferees to stand by free sugar and a permanent income i tax. .Representative Jjland started the petition and it was numer ously signed. It is as follows: We. the undersigned Democratic members of the House request our com mittee in conference on the Tariff bill to insist oh the provisions of the House bill relating to free sugar and a permanent income tax and secure the best com promise possible on other schedules of of the bill.5' A telegram was received by Engineer- in-Chief Melville this' afternoon from Lieut.

SENATE. , Washington, Aug. 9. The Senate seems to have reached that condition of apathy and weariness that unfits it for any serious legislative business which ia not connected with the final disposition of the Tariff bill and the winding up ofj the long session. To-day's sitting came to a close at 1:40 o'clock, and a part ofi the time had been given to the considera tion of executive business. - Nothing of any public interest marked the brief legislative day. . The House bill to repeal in part and to limit a section of the Revised Statutes under which bounty land warrants are refused to ex-soldiers of the Mexican war, who afterwards served in the Con federate army gave rise, to some dis cussion. , Senator George of Mississippi, who moved to take the bill from the calen dar, explained its purpose and said that it would apply to very few persons. That view of the case was contradicted by Senator Piatt of Connecticut, who said that the bill would apply, not to a few but to thousands of Buch old Mexican soldiers and their heirs. He confessed his surprise that there should be an at tempt to take up measures and rush them through, in what all hoped would be the closing hours of . the session. Those old Mexican soldiers had been treated generously. They had been giyen pensions, even though they had not been sixty days in service and had never seen the enemy. This bill was simply to give them in addition land warrants which' would be worth $200 "in cash. He moved to postpone the bill till the first Monday in December next. Senator Hill remarked that the bill simply removed legislative punishment from a few old men. The discussion was interrupted by a motion submitted by .Senator Gray to proceed to the consideration of executive business and at 1:15 o'clock the galleries were cleared, the doors closea and an ex utive session entered on. At 1:40 o'clock the Senate adjourned until to-morrow. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES. The Hawaiian question carne to th? front again in the House to-day, forming the subject of the most spirited and in teresting portion of the proceedings. t"" Mr. Boutelle- raised it as a question of "privilege." He repudiated the reported imputation tht in introducing the resolutions recognizing the Hawa iian republic j he had sought to obtain a partisan advantage ' for the Republican party, but that he was desirous' only of maintaining the honor and dignity of the Government and of observing the unbroken tradi tions of the country and of Congress, He criticized the failure of "the Commit tee on Foreign Affairs to act upon his resolutions and denounced the Hawaiian policy of the administration, especially the last act, which he described as the grudging, baiting, secretive recognition of the Republic of Hawaii by the Presi dent. "Mr. Boutelle arraigned the ad ministration for its. Hawaiian policy and was receiving the applause of his Re publican associates when Mr. Coombs, Democrat, of New York called him to order on the ground that he was not speaking to a question of privilege. The Speaker sustained the point and rapped the gentleman from Maine to order.- An excited colloquy between him. and the Speaker ensued, in the course ofjwhich the Speaker said Mr. Bou telle, from his long experience, must know that he had gone beyond the lim its of a matter of personal privilege, and warned him that he could, not continu ously violate the rules of the House. Mr. Boutelle insisted that he had st ited that the matter was a question, not only of personal privilege, but of the privilege of the House and asked the Speaker to rule upon that point. The Speaker The chair rules that the gentleman is out of order. Mr. Boutelle O, The Speaker can re fuse to hear before taking his seat. Mr. Boutelle unsuccessfully endeavored to get unanimous consent to move that the Committee on Foreign Affairs be dis charged from the further consideration of the resolutions, and that they be con sidered by the House. The biil to increase the efficiency of the militia came up again, and gave, rise to a discussion in which the recent riots at Chicago were referred to. Mr. Fithian.Democrat, of Illinois, crit icized President Cleveland's order send ing Federal troops there. Mr. Cannon, Republican," of Illinois, said that no one would question the fact that in the ( enforcement of a State law the power of the State authorities was plenary and that the President would be regarded as an interloper unless he were requested to act by the Governor or Legislature But in the recent troubles at Chicago the situation was that the de crees of the United States courts were interf erred with and the Inter State law violated in its every section. When the President called out the Federal troops to enforce theFederal laws.the Demo crats said:'God bless him for his cour age and fidelity;" and the Republicans, glad or. an opportunity to commend a Democratic Executive fordoing his duty, said: . ''Amen, if my colleague (air. Fithian, desires to make this an issue, in tne approaching election m our estate, well and good. He will find the Repub licans standing by a Democratic Presi dent for performing his sworn duty' Applause. Mr. Dunn, Democrat, of New Jersey, opposed the bill. He said the restrictions placed upon the use of the militia by the fathers of the country should be observed He deprecated the attempts of the red' eral Government to grasp tne power re served to the States. ' To a Question bv Mr. Hepburn. Repub lican, of Iowa, Mr. Dunn said he knew that the Government had protected cer tain industries at the expense of others. and thereby violated the Constitution. I n- j.:" , 1 fl ijemocrauu apputj, j : Mr. Fithian $aid he-'waa not surprised at the position taken by Mr. Cannon. It was the same that had been taken by the Republican party ever since "it was or ganized. As to Governor Altgeld's action in the recent troubles, Mr. fithian said it had been in exact accordance with that of every Governor ot the State, Re- Eublican and Democrat alike. The State, e declared, was able to niaintain peace and order within its borders without the interference of Federal troops or author ity. " . The hour expired, and without action the bill went over. The special order adopted vesterdav was called upland the House, under it, proceeded in uJmmittee of the Whole to consider bills fh the private calendar re ported from the Committee on Claims, Six were passed and the House at 4:50 q'ejock adjourned until to-morrow.

Stocks and Bonds in New York- Grain and Provision Markets ; of Cbicaeo. - ,& New York "Aug. 9. The railway and miscellaneous share market was strong and higher during the morning session on a belief j that the tariff conferees would reachj a settlement shortly and report a bill to their respective Houses. In addition,! Sterling exchange took a downward turn and posted rates were reduced to4.87J to 4 89. This was con sidered as meaning, that' gold exports would stop for the season and contrib uted hot a little to the strength nf the share market. The grain markets had stili less influence on stocks, and bull. traders m the latter were confident that the damage alleged to have been sus tained to corn will not be borne out hy the Government renort due to-morrow. The stocks most on demand were the Louisville and Nash ville, the Grangers, Lead Tobacco and others in which there is known to he a large short j interest. . Louisville and Nashville advanced 2 per cent, to 524i Manhattan 2 to 116$, Western Union li to t8i, Cotton Oil 1 to 30, Tobacco ii to 921, Lead 11 to 42.

ThiJ induced some of the bulls to lio-htAn their loads, but near ' the otvul when Louisville and Nashville advanced to the top of the day, the whole market improved. In the Industrials Sugar first advanced 1 per cent, to 107, then receded to 105, then: rallied to 105. Chicago Gas was weak throughout and sold down 1 per cent, to 74$ to 74f Lead, hewever, was in request and on unfavorable rumors scored an advannA of about a point. The general market left off firm to strong and anywhere from i to 2 per cent, higher on the day. Chicago Gas lost I per cent. The total sales were 188,044 shares, including 120. 505 listed. m Chicago, Aug. 9. Many of the desert s from the wheat crowd were aain i ers in that market to-day, corn not monopo- j lizing the entire attention of the specu- j lative element.' Although there was more business in wheat and less in corn, ; the former was, nevertheless, taking its cue from the latter.. The Cincinnati Price Curren t in its summary reminded the. trade that the situation was de pendent to a great extent on the corn condition, inasmuch as wheat was being put to the uses that corn was generally intended for. : September wheat opened from 58$ to 56c. sold between 55c and 57ic, closing at jtSjc. Cash wheat was in good demand, sales averaeimr 4c higher than yesterday. A slightly easier impression existed near the close on talk of the large shipments of wheat from Toledo to Chicago, it being reported that vessel room had been engaged. . j ror about ftve minutes alter the open ing it looked as though the panic in corn was not yet over. Prices were irregular-1 and fluctuations quick, with a Btrore upwara tenancy. ine country had no rain and it was quite plain that commis sion houses had orders to buy from all directions. May was the favored option, a marked avoidance of September being noticeable. Quiet was soon restored, however, but prices held strong throug qut the day. The near approach of the Government report had some influence in restrictiog business, most people pre ferring to wait its issuance before com mitting themselves to either side. The strength during the morning was made more emphatic by the predictions of Continued dry weather in Iowa and Ne braska, beptember corn opened from 59 to 57c. sold down to 55f ,: closing lat 56c, lc higher. May closed j l$c higher than yesterday. Cash corn was lc lower than yesterday. : Oats were strong, but, as usual, the tone came from the other markets. The firmness in corn and likewise in wheat were the factors. September oats closed fc higher than yesterday.! Cash oats were steady. i i Provisions were higher and steady, the closing prices Belling higher ;and closing oc above yesterday for beptember pork andribiand 2c higher for September lard. Cables were firm and outside do mestic markets steady. Receipts were light and shipments large. There was very little done in the cash market. The Sun's Cotton Review. New York, Aug . The Sun's cotton review says: Cotton advanced b to 9 points. September showed the most strength, closing steady at a net advance for the day of 4 to 6 points, with sales of 85,000 bales. Liverpool advanced l-16d on the spot and 2 points for future de livery, with spot sales of 13,000 bales, making 27,000 bales in two days. Fu tures closed steady. In Manchester yarns were firm; cloths had more in quiry; but there was not much doing.
