The difference between democratic conferees on tbe tariff are as great a. ever today. Tbe seuate couferee. offered the house member, either free coal or fr-e iron, with a 40 per cent duty on the remaining articles. When the boube conferee accepted this and agreed on free coal tbe senate withdrew tbe offer. The house members .ay tbe senate member, are trifling with them, and the bouse member, have decided to main tain their position. They say tbe offers by the senator, are inspired by the sugar trnst with the bojie of killing the hill. If ths bill i. essentially changed from the shape in which it passed tbe senate, Quay baa declared hla intention of attacking the bill in a speech that will, be ssys, take 40 day. to deliver.

The tariff bill is in a rlond tonight, and there Jure a i manv ntiini.in u. tj ita tirunt it(m j and aa to its future a there are political groups. Surfaie developments today ! bIiawm) ttiAilftniritl nf Hnata pa willing to poll together again for a time j believe the democratic caucus will re .suit in the final success of the senate j bill, and that this action will be taken ileanse the democrats of the bouse, or a majority of them, will not want to risk any vote whatever in the senate for fear ' of killing all tariff legislation. This feel ing, however, w us stronger at 2 o'clock than at today. -It is quite probable tbe time which has been gained will be devoted towards reconciling the differ ences, making a compromise bill hur riedly and with tbe least possible fric tion and paesing it as quickly as pofii b'e, providing such action will be acceptable to tbe bout caucus. The parliamentary tangle in which tbe bill will be placed if no report is made by tbe senate conferees, has caused considerable dincusion, and opinion is divided as to the course open to the houses All these tangles, however, wonld all unravel at once if the wings of tbe democratic party again flapped in harmony and an agreement were reached by the conferees. H this be ! found impossible, it is contended by some that the house would concur in the senate amendments and pass the bill at once, whether the particular copy of tbe bill on which the conferees are at work i. on tbe clerk, detk or In tbe confer ence room. It is also claimed that the house can rewind tbe action by sending tbe bill to conference, thich would bring it as amended by the senate again to the bouse. Tbe jrliamentary difficulties are not so serious as the other complications which have arisen, and w hich may arise before the caucus Mon day and before tbe senate meet, again to prevent an adjustment of differences. At present the questions remaining un answered are : Will tbe bouwe caucus decide to take the senate bill, or will a decision be reached to make one more effort to agree on a compromise bill? It I. conceded by almost ail parties now that fewer concession, are to be ex pected from the senate than could have been obtained a week ago; that tbe out look now i. between no bill, the senate bill and tbe senate bill modified, but not to a great degree. When Hpeaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson determined, after a conference at noon, that a house caucus should be called for Monday morning, another new element wa. added to the tariff situation. The house conferee, had pre viously concluded that a caucus wa de sirable, and Crisp quickly assented to tbe plan, hi. name and that of Wilson', heading the petition to Chairman Hol mon that the eaucu. be called. With this authoritative endorsement from the house and tariff leader., signatures were secured a fast as the paper could be passed about, and the number necessary for the call waa obtained within half an hour. Crisp went over to tbe senate and told the senators what bad been done, and thi wa. one of the main cause, for the postponing of the Hill resolution until Monday, as the caucus at 10 a. m. will give opportunity for the bouse to determine upon its policy tie fore tbe Hill resolution fs taken up at 12 o'clock. Throughout the day the purposes of the case were canvassed from every standpoint. Crisp said of it : "There i no prearranged programme for the caucus. Tbe bouse conferee, thought they would like to inform their associate, of tbe difficulties encountered and of the position they had taken up to the present time. I do not know that J they desire or intend to ask for any par ticular line of action. It is called simply I tonllow them to inform the democratic j members of the exact lituation. What line of action will be developed I cannot say. and I think it will depend 'argely : on circumstances. There is no purpose j on the part of the conferees, so far as I I know, to present thequestion of 'the sen ate hill or no bill,' but that may and probably w ill come up." , j Chairman Wilson also treated the cau cu as designed for the purpose of giving j and receiving information and advice, i He said he wonld make a full statement of tbe recent difficulties in conference, and of certain misapprehension, which had been given wide publicity. One of thc6e misapprehension, which Wilson will clear up is as to the tender of free sugar and free coal by tbe senate con ferees, and be will tell bis colleague, that the tender was not made; or at least was made with the knowledge that it wonld assist in defeating the bill. Wilson has not stated what line, if any, he would ak the caucus to lake. He says the house conferee, have not as yet decided among themselves that the time has come for the acceptance of tbe entire senate till. Whether he will leave the caucu to shape its view on thi. question, or will ask its continued support in an aggressive policy, has not been indicated by him to the members. Warner, Tracy and other administra tion men of the bouse said tonight that deference would be given to the wishes of Wilson. They expressed a certainty that if he assumed tbe leadership of any exact line of policy the house would stand behind him. It is accepted 89 certain, however, that the direct inane of the senate bill or no bill will be precip itated at the caucus, whether Wilson in itiates it or not. Several members stated their intention to present resolutions on this line in the event tbe tariff leaders did not do it. In some quarters it was believed some middle ground would be reached before the caucus ended. After the senate adjourned today the democratic steering committee met. The member declined to divulge the pro ceedings. One of those present stated that the feeling was very hopeful as to tbe outlook for the senate bill, but that there was no assurance as to its fate, and the assurance could not be obtained un til more time could be had to canvass the situation. He thought that by to morrow it would be known whether the bouse would accept tbe senate bill in its entirety or not. The conservative sena tors have claimed from the beginning that if the house democratic caucus could have the opportunity to act on the bill uninfluenced by the honse conferees it would accept the senate bill. They still have this faith. The bouse confer ees were in a committee room in the senate end of tbe capitol when the steer ing committee wa. in session, and there was more or less communication between the two bodies, evidently hearing on the I terms of the settlement. Wilson and Montgomery, of tbe house conferees, and Straus, of New York bad a conference with Secretary Gresham to night, at which the situation was dis cussed and careful consideration given tbe proposition to have the honse take tbe senate bill in its entirety and sub sequently correct any defect, by passing separate bills. Private Secretary Thur ber came to tbe conference with a mes sage from the president. A report was in circulation that it hadgbeen decided to take the senate bill, but Strauss, after the conference, said no course had been decided upon, and that the policy to be pursued wa still a matter of simula tion. . tLblng Reason Closed Astoria, Aug. .11 Tbe fishing season closed last night at midnight, and by 8 o'clock this morning all the can neries had packed all the fish on hand. It i. estimated that since the season opened nearly $l,r00,000 has been paid the fishermen of Astoria canneries alone. The fishermen are preparing to leave immediately after tlio regatta. F'ish Commissioner McOuire secured a boat tonight, and will patrol the river in the neighborhood of I'aknr'a Pay, w here it i reported that Commissioner Crawford has signified his intention to allow trap, to continue fishing during the close season. If any are found, Mr. McGuire will ask Governer Pennoyer for instruction. Wakiunuton, Aug. 1 1. Speaker Crisp and the house conferree. are circulating a call for a caucus ot the bouse. The name, of Crisp and Wilson are among the first signed to the call for a caucus Monday. It i. recalled that in his tpeeh to the recent caucus Crisp said when the matter wa. resolved int) a choice be tween the senate bill or no bill, the conferree. wonld call upon their col ic igues for advice. HOUSE BACKS DOWN An I iK-oiidit ional Simvniler on the Tariff Kill. ACCEPTED THE SENATE'S TERMS Drmorrsta Will Knlavorto Kvary. Thine Tody---Th. Chlnoe Trratjr Con Armed by the Hrnat. Wahiiinotov, Aug. 1:1. One hour be fore the time set for tbe caucus, Speaker Crisp was joined in his private office by Chairman Wilson and Representative Turner, McMillan and Montgomery, the full membership of the house democratic conference committee, and representa tive Breckenridge, of Arkansas, advisory member for final consultation. The current of feeling among the members of the house seemed to be setting strongly in favor of accepting the senate bill without further delay. At 10 o'clock Crisp and the conferee, filed out of the speaker's office and took seat in a body At that time 153 democrats were on the floor. Chairman Wilson took the floor immediately after rollcall. The mem bers crowded around him listening in tently to every word. Wilson began with a recital of the difficulties encount ered, which, he said, at each step had been pursued with nn ardent desire to support with honor the desires of the houso to resist what was regarded as the unreasonable demands of the senate. He reviewed the differences in confer ence on the disputed items. He took up each proposition on sugar and spoke of the vast profits to tbe sugar trust which would result from many of them. He did not indulge in the sharp criticism that wa expected on the motives of tbe senate conferees. While Wilson was speaking, word waa passed around that the conference in the speaker's room had resulted in decisive action, ami that Speaker Crisp himself would move the house recede and accept tbe senate bill. Wilson spoke of the fight made by the house conferees for a specific duty on sugar on the ground that under the ad valorem system it wonld be impossible to tell, on account of the invoice meth ods, the exact advantage that would ac crue to the sugar trust. He made the re markable statement that he had been credibly informed, and believed the sugar trust, anticipating the enactment of the senate sugar schedule, had pur chased $112,000,000 worth of raw sugar. If this was true, ho said, the profit, ac cruing to the trust from this investment on account of the senate schedule would le at leant $40,000,000. "The great battle," raiil Wilson, warming, "is bet ween the American people and the sugar trust. It is a battle in which the trust has taken the people by the throat, and it will never end until we throw off its grip." There was enthusiastic applause at this. He proceeded to state that the house conferees bad been willing to con cede almost everthing except those vital items of sugar, iron and coal. The senate conferees hail also seemed willing to concede much, but were apparently dominated by the knowledge that if they conceeded what thn representatives were demanding, the bill could not pass, and the agreement would be nselees. Wilson closed at 11 :0. o'clock, having talked just an hour. Montgomery, Mc Millin, and Turner corroborated 1ii statements. Crisp followed ; he spoke with much spirit and round after round of applause greeted his remarks. He spoke of the critical condition and the apparent need to accept the senate bill, and then, if need be, iiitroduco separate bills for free sngar, iron and coal. He said it was the senate bill or nothing." As long as thero was a desperate chance of securing the concession, the house de manded, he was in favor of standing out, but he was satisfied the time had come when further insistence by the house was useless. He offered a reso'tt tion instructing the house conferee, to recede from the disagreement, and the way. and means committee to bring in separate free sugar, iron and coal bills. A burst of applause greeted the reading of the resolution, but half dozen irate Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U.S. Gov't Report Absolutely pure democrats were on their feet demanding recognition, prominent among them being ltonrke Cuckrun, of New York. Owing to the lateness of the hour, a rule was adopted limiting further speechex to live miuuteit. Then Cockrait deliver e.l a vigorous mid eloquent srieech againnt surrendering to the senate. Better no tariff legislation than the senate bill," he declared. A division of the Crisp resolution was demanded, so as to have a separate vote on the first part to recede from the disa greement to the senate amendments and the provisions for separate bills. The first part was adopted by a rising vote of l.'iO to 21, and the second part without division. The caucus then ad journed. Among thoBe who voted against the resolution were the Louis iana members, Warner Straus, Tracy, Cockran, Covert and Dunphy, of New York ; Cooer of Indiana, Johnson of Ohio, Kilgore of Texas ami Tarsney of Missouri. The vote ou the passage of the senate tariff bill should occur about 6 this evening. IN THK HOISE. Th. Ktipnbllcans Will Kl.ht the Hill Hard as losslble. Wakhinutox, Aug. 13. It is the in tention of the democratic managers of the house to finish up everything today it possible. The committee on rules will present a special order to carry out the mandate of the caucus. The intention is to pass the tariff bill and then the other bills named in the caucus resolu tion. The committee on rules held a short session. The republicans refused to ac cept the terms proposed by the demo cratic members. The democrats pro posed to allow an hour for debate upon the senate amendments and in 15 min utes on each of the other bills, which it is proposed to bring in aa separate measure, and allow no amendments to be offered. At 2:20 p. m. the rule, committee submitted a report for the immediate consideration of the seuate tariff bill, to be followed by separate bills for sugar, coal, iron ore and barbed wire. Heed made a parliamentary ob jection to the proceedure, claiming the tariff bill was not before tbe house and indicated the republicans' intention to fight the bill and report in every proper way. Crisp held the resolution in order and before the house. The previous questions was ordered without division. IIelt4to Appear llerr Superior Court- Woodland, Cat., Aug. 13.
