The R(-pul;llcan Conferees Expocted to Reach an Agreement Today. ONLY TWO POINTS OF DIFFERENCE REMAIN. Both Sides Very Obstinate Regarding the Rates on Sugar and Bind- ing Twine—The Omaha »stmastership, 518 FOURTEENT STHEET, Wasnizatox D, C., Sept. Therepublican conferces on tho tarift bill were ot able to finish up their - work today, but itis understood that an agreoment will be reached tomorrow. 1t is reported that the only pointsof differe now are on sugar and‘binding twine. Both sides serm to be very obstinite in adhering to the rates adopted by their respective houses. The greatest secrecy is observed in reference to the procecdings of the conference, but from whatcan be gathered it may be stated that the following changes have been made: The carthenwvaro schedule, on which the diftor- cnces were very marked, hasbeen adjusted by thesenate receding aud leaving the rates 1s established by the honse. The glassware rates, which were made compound by the house, have been restored to an ad valorem rate.on most of the articles of glassware at a uniform rate of 60 per cent. The principal pointof difference on the metal schedule was on sheets and billets. The language of the hotso bill is restored, with the following new classification: Sheefs valued at 1cent per pound or less, 5-100f 1 per cent; valued above 1 cent and not above 1 4-10 cents, 65100; ue above 1410 and notabove 2 cents, 10. The remaining classifications on steel sheets ave vetained 08 in the house bill. Steel rails are fised at 6-10 cent per pound. The senate rates on shotguns were adopted. Thesugar schedue is changed by paying a bounty on sugars testing 90 degrees by the iscope instead of 80. Champagne is made dutiable at’ 8 per dozen, and brandy and wine at $2.50 per gallon, The amend- ments made by the senate to the other pra- graphs of the liquor schedule were aban- doned. A great many changes have been made in the flax aod hemp scicdule, the ates generlly being a compromise betieen thoseadopted” by the twoshouses. Paintings and other works of art were placed on the free list oy the house and made dutiable at 8 per cent by the senate. The conferces have ~ restored this para- graph to the dutiable st. at 15 per .cent. It is understood that a number of internal revenue features of the bill have been agreed to and that tobaceo and snuft will be reduced from 8 to6 cents a pound. and that all special taxes on dealers and peddlers of tobaceo and ecigars will be abolished. It is probable that the paragraphs in relation to the use of spirits in the - manu- facture of vinegar will also be adopted. “The conferces will meet tomorrow, when it is expected that the final touches will be given to the bill and that it will be reported on Friday or Saturday. The date when goods may be removed from bond_under the present law1s fixed at February 1, No agree- menthas been reached in reference tothe day when the bill shall go into operation, but it is generaliy believed that it will be not later than October 15. Karly this moming the tariff confercnce committee struck out the amendiment *admit- ting beet sugar machinery free of duty. This roferred particulary to the machinery re- cently placed in thé Grand Island factory. nators Paddock and Manderson promptly jumped into the breach and after o lively struggle with the members of the. committee succeeded in securing o rveconsideration of the vote aud tho restoration of the senate amendment. . ~ TUE OMAHA POSTMASTERSHIP, ““Itis a fact,” said Senator Manderson this afterioon, ‘‘that I shall recommend Mr. Clarkson as postmaster, for Otidha tnless cvelone is raised between thiis time and the day for making the recommendation, The announcement of the fact, which ‘was pub- lished fromone of my private lefters, has caused the storm to sfart up already. Whether or not it will gain such proportions as to hecome formidable I camnot say yet, but the chances are that. Clarkson ,will be Omaha’s next postmaster,”” NORTHWESTERN SENATORS COMBINE. The work of the conference committee on the tariff is being closely ‘watched by the” northwestern senators, who ave determined to oppose any agreement to tho report in case the interests of agriculture in the west are not properly protected. This afterioon, upon learning that the senate amendment placing binding twine upon the free list would prob- ably be rejected by the conference committec, Senators Paddock, Plumb, Ingalls, Wilson of Towa, Davis_and Washburne of Minnesota, Casey and Pierce of North Dakota, Potti: grewof South Dakota and Powers of Mon- tana held a meeting, at which they pledged themselves to vote against the tariff bill if the duty on binding twine was not stricken off aud tho reductions made by the senate in the interests of the west were endorsed by the conference committee. Tmmediately upon coming tothis decision Senators Allison and Aldrich were notified of the action of the northwestern senators, THE APRICAX SLAVE TRADE TREATY, A report prepared by representative An- dreyw of the house committee on foreign af- fairs contains a copy of the treaty arranged at Brussels, July 2, concerning the suppres- sion of tho African slave trade. This treaty was signed ut a conference attended by the ropresentatives of Germany, Austria, Bel- gium, Denmark, Spain, the Congo ‘State, the United States, France, Great Britain, Italy, the Netherlands, Persia,-Portugal, Russla, Sweeden and Norway and Turkey. The tréaty, it was supposed, was still held secwet within the precincts of the state de- partment, not having been sent tothe senate for action, and there is some curiosity amon g the ofticiils of the department as to how Representative Andrew secured his copy. Aninvestigation was made fn_a hurried way a day or two ago to discover if possible how it had escaped from the files of the depart- ment, but nothing satisfactory was. doter- mined. Itis notknown that anything more serious will come of it, but it will donbtless lead toan overhauling of some of the methods in vogue there, THE NATIONAL METHODIST UNIVERSITY, The annual meeting of the board of bishops of the Methoaist Episcopal chyreb, to be held in this city next November, will ba of more thanusual importance beeause it is expected thataction will be then taken to insure the early accomplishment of the project to found in this cily a great natiounal university under Methodist auspices. Bishop Hursk, who has been at the head of the movement, has already secured subscriptions to the.amount of 85,000, which have been used for making the first payment for a desirable site just out- sideof the city limits of Washington, and tit is now intended to make a general call upon the members of the Methodist church at large 1o subseribe to tho fund. The citizens of the District of Columbia will pay for the land, which will costsomething more than §100,000, andit is expected that those outside -of this city will furnish tho funas for the endow- ment.

Representative Hansbrough- ef Dukota turns out to be the author of the story that has been circulated so extendively over s state regarding the appowtment of Charles H. Ham of Clicago as general appraiser under the law passed last spring. Hans- brough has vepeatedly denied that he was a candidate to succeed Piercs in thesenate, but he deciared that he would support the latter for re-election and seek senatorial honors Later in life. But tho story. hag becn Buced tohim and the discovery oreated quite a sensation in the Dakota colony here. It was to the effect that when the goneral appraisor bill was passed the president sent fo Pierce and asked him (o name one of the nine bij men who are now enjoying big salaries, an that Pierce, fgmoring the large number of candidates ' fron Dakota, selected Mr. Ha, @n old friend and editorial associate in Chi- cago.

Last ovening Senator Manderson proposed an amei®iuent striking out the name of St. Louis and inserting instead that of Omaha, and made a short speech in favor of thecharge. Upon ayea and nay vote the chair decided that the umendment was lost, Senator Paddock, in ealling for a reconsjder- ation of the vote, madean earnest appe the change and delivered a_strong pr tion of Omaha's claims as the center of the proposed circuit, while St. Louis was in the extreme southeastern tion.
