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

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. .

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

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

and the provisions for separate bills.
The first part was adopted by a rising
vote of l.'iO to 21, and the second part

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.
