Philip Hammersmith, a barber whose shop is at 9114 Lanm street, had a ter- rible struggle m.n 2 bargiar after mid- night last night. He closed his shop and went to bed, putting his money, about $40, under his | pillow. He sleeps in the rear of his shop. He was awakened by some one extract- ing the money from under his head. The burelar told him to be quiet or he would be killed. However he grappled with the thiei and a terrible siruggle followed. Fivally the thief broke loose and ran out into Cedar avenue. Hammer-mith got his pistal, but found that it would not work, so he dropped it and gave ¢ ase, but 10 no purpose, as he fell from the loss of blood. Until he fell he did not know that he was wounded, but at the Receiving Hos- pital he was found to have been stabbed ihree times. There were two deep wounds in the left arm and another in the left shoulder. They are serious but not dangerous. - ADVANCES made On_furniture and piados with or without removal.

To Prevent Speculation Secrecy Is Malintained In Reference to the Sugar Schedule. WASHINGTON, D. C, July 17.—At this morning’s session of the tariff bill con- ference committee the deadlock between the Senate and House conlerees for m re than a week was broken and the basis of an agreement reached. The Senate con- ferees, who have been all along insisting on the adoption of the sugar schedule just as it passed the Senate, found them- selves unable to overcome the opposition of the House conferees and pressure from outside sources, and at last reluctantly agreed to accept a compromise, The ob- stacle caused by a disagreement on the sugar schedule having been removed, the ! rest was comparatively easy sailing, and before the conference adjourned for luncheon it was generally known an { be found to be a compromise between the agreement had been reached and a report would be made to the House on Monday. Tuis announcement, semi-officially from the con erence-room, was renerally taken to mean a settlement could only have been reached oy the adoption of the sugar schedule just as it came from the House. This, however, was not the case. A com- promise of the schedule had been agreed to, and it will doubtless be found when the report of the conference has been made public that the Senate conferces made good thelr promise notto veld to pressure | for the acceptance of the House schedule. | The Senate conlerees might have con- | tinued to hold out for the adoption of the Senate schedule entire but for the fact that they were confronted with the alternative of arriving at some agreement or have the | scheduie made the subject of a vote of in- structions in the Senate and House. This, of course, woutd have been fatal to the Senate bil!, as the House is over- whelmingly in favor of its own measure, and the conditions in the Senate are so uncertain that the Senate conferees could hardly afford to trust to a vote of the entire Senate, The Seate conferees have not, however, yielded all they contended for, and although it is probable the differontial rate as fixed by the House remains and that the Senate provision for a reduction of a tenth of a cent a pound on sugars below 87 degrees muy have been elimi- nated, the new schedule agreed upon will Senate and House schedules. Immediately after the adjournment of the tar.ff conference this afternoon the clerks of the Senate Committee on Finance and the House Committee on Ways and Means, were sent for, and they are at work at the Capitol to-night under the direction of afew members of the conference com- mittee putting the report into shape for the signatures of ihe conferees. They hope to have the work completed £0 as to be signed to-morrow, and the Damocratic members of the conference will be called into consultation Monday morning. The bill will then be reported to the House during Mondav’'s session, and the pro- gramme is to have it disposed of before the adjournement of that day by means of a special order from the Committee on Ru.es. The conference report will come up in the Senate Tuesday, but it is uncertain when a vote can be had there. The Dem- ocratic Senators will desire tima to place themasalves on record in oppostiion to the amendments made in conference and to the bul 1tself, and it is the opinion of the leaders in tne Senate thata vole can- not be reached before Thursday or Friday. It was learned to-night from one of the members of the conference committee that one of the causes of the deadlock was a difference over the Senate reciproc- ity amenaments. It was a aispute over this provison that gave rise to the angry meeting of the cou- ference yesterday when the policeman on duty outside the conference room com- pelled all visitors to the Senate wing to go through the basement corridor to prevent them knowing what was said in the con- ference. Itislearned the conference restored to the dutiabie list at a reduced rate, however, nearly all articles which wera placed on the free list by the votes of Democratic Senators. These articles included cotton ties, cotton bagging, burlap matiing and similar articles, and the Democrats will ol course make a determined fight for their restoration to the free list. Tne provision for the stamp tax on stocks and bonds, placed in the ‘bill asa’ Senate amendment at the dictation of the Repubsican caucus, was not disturbed by the conference, nor was the duty on lead ore. A determined fight will be made in the Senate over the action of tire conference in agreeing to the House rate of $2 & thousand feet on white pine as against the Senate rate of $L. Senator Buarrows, who is one of the S:nate con- ferees, has been a persistent advocate of the $2 rate, and his action in holding out | for this amount in opposition to the in- struction of the Senate has been severely criticized. Burrows’ colleagne, McMillan, was in favor of the dollar rate, and this division of opinion represented the opposing views ofthe Northwestern lumbermen. All the absent Senators and Repre- sentatives have been telegraphed to be on hand Monday, and it is the general opin- ion of the leaders of the Senate and Housé that the tariff biil can ve finaily disposed of so Congress can adjourr by Saturday, unless detained by the currency-commis- sion message or other important recom- mendations of the President. There had been so much sensational talk while the bill was in conference about sugar speculation and undue icfluences brougnt to bearon Senalors that the con- ferees are believed to have purposely ar- ranged tiat there can be no more stock gambling based upon speculation as to conclusions of the conference. Tne report of the agreement was kepnt secret until afternoon to-day, and it i8 more than probable that the text of the agreement will not be made public beiore tne open- ing of business on Monday. Capt. Mesry’s Nomination Confirmed. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 17.—The nomination of William L.
