The house dem ocratic tariff caucus at t o'clock to day and the Interview of Senator Voor- hoc pronouncing In favor of the house position on free Iron and coal are the absorbing topics among the member of the houae. Those who projected the caucu assert they have not Intended to discredit the conferreea. The ant I caucus men denounce the caucus, how ever, a a flank movement toward a surrender to the senate.

THE CAUCUS IN DETAIL. Washington, Aug. 1. Chairman Wil son and his associates of the house con. ferree scored a victory today when th house democratic caucus, which waa called with a view of termln vtlng the tariff bill by Instructing or advt- Ing the house ronferree, adjourned without action. The effect of this wa to leave the house conferrees to pro ceed as-they see best and to show con splcuously that the effort to advise them had failed. The friends of Wil son said they had the caucu so well In hand they could have passed the Livingston resolution expressing con fidence but there wa no desire on the part of the supporter of the conferree to take thi course. Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson expressed them selves a gratified with thla conclu sion and among the rank and Ale of the hous, the sentiment Is general that the movement Inaugurated to bring about an rcceptance of the senate bill has resulted In materially strengthen ing tho opiKisltion to the senate bill. The caucus was called to order by Chairman Holman. The roll call dis closed the presence of 166 members. Enthusiasm wa aroused by the read ing of a telegram, announcing the re sult of the Alabama elections.' Then Mr. Bynum offered the following reso lution: "Resolved, first, that It I the sense of this caucu that the demo cratic conferree of the house and sen ate should meet In the spirit of liber ality to the end that the two houses by mutual consent may agree upon a measure which wilt meet the approval of each. Second, that this caucua stands adjourned until i o'clock p. m. Friday, the 10th, at which time, in case no agreement has been reached, it shnll reconvene to take such further action in the premises as It may deem necessary and appropriate, and tho chairman of the house caucus Is here by authorised and directed to invite democratic senators to meet with the democrats of the house at that time In Joint caucus, SHORT SESSION. The senate held a short ant unlit- lerciiting session today, the most im portant event of the prosoeJIngj being the passing of a resolution directing the prcaldont to take stop for the re lease of American sltl-cens confined on the Island if Cuba for participation In recent rsbiilll ns, WHAT DO THEY WANT.

The commissioner expressly GU?lalm either of the purports, and their objoots are veiled In mystery. In an explanatory statement, which wa a brief one, Mr. Bynum said that there had been a clamor from, a part of tho press for the house bill, he be lieved the overwhelming sentiment of the country wa for the best possible bill that could be agreed upon. For himself, he preferred the eanate bill to no bill. When Chairman Wilson of the ways and means committee rose, he wo greeted with enthusiasm, He com mented up'in It ft n unfortun He olr oumstance that at the crucial, point In tho negotiations of the conferrees, movements have been started to hold a oauoua over tho heads of the con ferree, so to speak. He believed that If the house conferees did their duty and the houie did Its duty that a bill honorable fo? the house and senate, and acceptable to the people, would bo the result, If the house JemocraU could propose any plan likely to sus tain the house Mil and assist it the conferree would welcome It, Mr. Bland spoke up with a t-ugges-tlon that the house pasa a bill to put bugar on the free list and then take up the Income tax, but aa It wa of fered In a humarau vein, no notice wa taken of It, and Mr. Livingston. of Georgia, proposed, a substitution for the Bynum resolution expressing th eonfldenr of th house in it con ferreas and leaving th matter entirety in thir hand. Then followwl a dl.tcuaalon of the position hjbl by the senate nnl th pnxpt if nn agreement. Cooper, of InOlanv said thf Senator would have anirrendrnd already If the caucu movements had not givin them hop that th house waa weik.ndng. Something of a sensation wa stirred up by th firglng to th front of Speaker Crisp whn dobat wa well under way, Th speech of Speaker Crisp wa temper-. bui very forcible and its logic wai so 1rreistbl that at Its conclusion Mr. Bynum, mover of th resolution, withdrew th mo tion, Th p-)iikr declared it wr the purpose 'A the democrat to redeem th pledge mad to th poopto. He gave It a hi opinion that h n ferree could reach an agreement with in a couple of weiki at th nixt, but that they houtd not b harrassed by "toaekflr" from thslr own houe. The houas should be loyal to itself and its representative. Inqulrle were made regarding the statu of tl-. neg.Uatlon In cugar, coal and Iron, but no dennltt informa tion wn forthcoming. Finally, Mr. Bynum withdrew bl resolution, ex plaining that he wa aUsfled with the representation made, and on motion of Crisp, the ctuou adjourned. THE SENATE CONFERREES. Washington, Aug, 7.
