Washington July .28. The demo

mittee on the tariff bill resumed their
sessions, today. All present except
Chairman Voorhees, who is ill. . The

changes in the less important schedules

former conference. It is believed there

metal schedules'. ' Before the committee
meeting the president sent for Cbair
man Wilson and held a long' conference
with him. It is generally believed as
between the senate bill, with such modi
( fications as can be obtained, and the

The House to Caucus.
. Washington, July 26. A caucus of
the bouse democrats' will probably be
held before final action is taken upon
the tariff bill. ' Holman of Indiana, the
chairman of the-caucus committee, said
today -that the- matter of '.a caucus - had
been discussed .more or less by the dem
ocrats, during the, past 24 hours. It is
believed that the bouse conferees will
insist strenuously , upon the, Wilson" bill
when they meet in conference, and that
after several days passed in committee,
another disagreeing report will be. made.
Holman thinks that on the same, day
such report is made the house democrats
will meet ia caucus and decide upon the
instructions which will be given to their
conferees. . At the caucus, the - house
conferees will probably give their indi
vidual views as to the better - plan of.
settlement, and will speak' more freely
than they., would ' otherwise in open
housed y Holman thinks it not unlikely
that the instructions of the caucus will
be of such a character as to result at the
conference following in a compromise,
whicb will be acceptable to "both houses.
He 'added: ' '7 - ' ' ' " 7' "
"We must have a tariff bill before we
adjourn.- No other course is left to us."

What a Toronto Delegate ?aid of the
- feeling; In This Country.
"London, July 2G. Sirohn Lubbock
presided in the London chamber of com
merce this evening over tbe meeting of
the city branch of the imperial Federa
tion League. He welcomed the Cana
dian delegates heartily. , Col. George C.
Denison, of Toronto", then spoke of the
importance of maintaining the unity of
the empire Canada, he said,, was ab
solutely true ' to England, ' and would
resolutely fight against any movement
to annex her to the ' United States.
Great, enmity was'felt in the" United
States toward England, -and only the
better educated and higher classes there
were friendly s to, great . Britain. The
peace, he eaid :'was maintained only
through fear bf the - British - navy ada
half-million Canadians.. In the event
that France and Russia should combine
against England, the United States
.would join them. Tbie emphasizes the
necessity of federation. Canada was
prepared to make great sacrifices for
this; but she expected help ' from ' Eng
land. In conclusion, Mr. Denieon urged
a system of preferential tariffs between
Great Britain, and- her colonies. The
motion of Sir" F."' Young '' to appoint a
committee to consider the best course to
pursue, was carried againet some oppo
sition. .V :. . .'

them in tbe lurch yesterday." Kelly's
men averred that ; ' their ; leader' ' bad
drifted away several days Ago, and that

while Fry's men eaid their leader had
probably abandoned them, .The men
Who were brought from the Pacific coast
Lby Kelly ; -were; particularly indignant,
and expressed a fervid desire to tar and
feather their general. "'' McGann told'
them there was not the. slightest chance
of ..' a -.'government " appropriation for
their return, and sent them to the local
superintendent of charities. ';'." ' -. ':.
