WHAT TO DO NEXT, -Washington,
Aug. 14. The democrat
ic leaders ot tho sonate have occupied
a considerable portion ot the day in

ing to determine upon tht moat ad
vlsablt policy under tht circumstances
nd prtvlous to the meeting tht

ence on tht samt subject. It I un
derstood tbt conservative advocate a
referenct of tht bill to tht finance

te Is apparently somewhat divided

cate however, that a largt majority
of tht democratic senators would like
to havt tht bills passed If they could

reduce tbt government revenues to too
great an extent, Tht Interest on these

of It becoming a law, reducing tht
duty, making It uniform and striking
off tho differential on refined sugar,
Secretary Carlisle was at .lb capltol
today while tht conference waa in

estimate, which he promised to do. A
leading member of tha sleeting com
mittee expressed th opinion that a
duty of 25 or 30 per cent, on sugar
would affia-d all th i revenue from
that source that would be needed.
