STATUS OF THE TARIFF
TUB Clouds ' AM tlie Penaing Bill
TMcier THan Eyer.
NO ONE CAN FORETELL THE END
Tomorrow Morning House Members
Will Caucus Upon Their Ac
tion Everything Depends.
Washington, Aug. 11. The tariff bill
is in a cloud tonight, and there are as
many opinion aa to its present status
and as to its future as there are political
groups. . Surface developments today
showed the democrats of the senate were
willing to pull together again for a time
in order to see if the caucus of the house
democrats would offer any solution to
the perplexing problem. The call for a
caucus of the house, approved by the
speaker, and requested by the house
conferees, shows that the leaders in that
body have become greatly concerned
over the fate of the bill an acknowl
edgement that it is in a critical state. But
neither the action of the senate in de
laying the Hill resolution nor the call of
the caucus by the house democrats in
sures the passage or defeat of the bill,
nor yet does it certainly mean the senate
bill or nothing. There are many who
believe the- democratic caucus will re
sult in the final success of the senate
bill, and that this 'action will be taken
because the democrats of the house, 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, was stronger at 2 o'clock
than , at 6 today. It is quite probable
the time which has been gained will be
devoted towards reconciling the differ
ences, making a compromise bill hur
riedly and with the least possible fric
tion and passing it as quickly as possi
ble, providing such action will be
acceptable to the house caucus.
The parliamentary tangle in which
the bill will be placed if no report is
made by the senate conferees, has caused
considerable 'discussion, and opinion is
divided as to the course open to the
houses. AH these tangles, however,
would all unravel at once if the wings
of the democratic party again flapped in
harmony and an agreement - were
reached by the conferees. If 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 the
bill on which the conferees are at work
is on the clerk's desk or in the confer
ence room. It is also claimed that the
house can rescind the action by sending
the bill to conference, Tvhich would
bring it as amended ' by the senate
again to the house. The parliamentary
difficulties are not so serious as the other
complications which have arisen, and
which may arise before the caucus Mon
day and before the senate meets again
to prevent an adjustment of differences.
At present the questions remaining un
answered are: - ;
Will the house 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 is conceded by almost all parties
now that fewer concessions are to be ex
pected from the senate than could have
been obtained a week ago ; that the out
look now is between no bill, the senate
bill and the senate bill modified, but
not to a great degree. i ;
When Speaker Crisp and Chairman
Wilson determined, after a conference
at noon, that a house caucus should be
called for Monday morning, another
hew element was added to the tariff
situation. The house conferees had pre
viously concluded that a caucus was de
sirable, and Crisp quickly ' assented to
the plan, his name and that of Wilson's
heading the petition to Chairman Hol
nion that the caucus be called. With
this authoritative endorsement from the
house and tariff leaders, signatures were
secured as fast as the paper could be
passed about, and the number necessary
for the call was obtained within half an
hour. Crisp went over , to the senate
and told the senators what had been
done, and this was one of the -main
causes for the postponing of? the Hill
resolution until Monday, as the caucus
at 10 a. m. will give opportunity for the
Highest of all in Leavening Power.
rl
I 1
Yt7x v r
house to determine upon its policy be
fore the Hill resolution is taken op at 12
o'clock.
Throughout the day the purposes of
the case were ' canvassed from every
standpoint. Crisp said of it :
" "There is no prearranged programme
for the -caucus. The house conferees
thought they would like to inform their
associates of the difficulties encountered
and of the position they had taken upcto
the present time.- I do not know that
they desire or intend to ask'for any par
ticular line of action. It is palled simply
to allow them to inform the democratic
members of the exact situation. 'What
line of action will be developed I cannot
say, and .1 think it will depend largely
en circumstances. There is no purpose
on the part of the conferees, so far aB I
know, to present the question of 'the sen
ate bill or no bill,' but that may and
probably will come up."
Chairman Wilson also treated the cau
cus aB designed for the purpose of giving
and receiving information and' advice.
He said he would make a full statement
of the recent difficulties in conference,
and of certain misapprehensions which
had been given wide publicity. One of
these misapprehensions w,hich Wilson
will clear up is as to the tender of free
sugar; and free coal by the senate con
ferees, and he will tell his colleagues
that the tender was not made ; or at
least was made with the knowledge that
it would assist in defeating the bill.
Wilson has not stated what line, if any,
he would ask the caucus to take. He
says the house conferees have not as yet
decided among themselves that the time
has come for the acceptance of the entire
senate bill. Whether he will leave the
caucus to shape its view on this 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 honse said tonight that
deference would be given to the wishes
of Wilson. They expressed a certainty
that if he assumed the leadership of any
exact line of policy the house would
stand behind him. It is accepted as
'certain, however, that ihe direct issue 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 the 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
the 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
house would accept the 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 house conferees
it would accept the senate bill.- They
Btill have this faith, - The house confer
ees were in .a committee room , in the
senate end of the capital when, the steer
ing committee was in session, and there
was more or less communication between
the two bodies, evidently bearing on the
terms of the settlement.
' Wilson and Montgomery, of the house
conferees, and Strauss of New York had
a conference with Secretary Gresham to
night; at which the situation was dis
cussed and careful consideration given
the proposition to have the honse take
the senate bill in its, entirety and sub
sequently correct any defects by passing
separate bills. Private Secretary. Thur;
ber came to the conference with a - mes
sage from the president. - A report was
in circulation that it had been 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 was still a matter of specula
tion. ' "" ."

' Another House Cftocis.

and the house conferrees are circulating

HOW TO HUM r-MH mND FAST.
Keep the Knees Jlent, Jran Forward and
Lift the Feet Very Slightly.
Physiologists'and lovers of athletics
may be interested in recent experi
ments and researches . of - '. French
artillery captain, M. do . Kaoul, who,
some fifteen years ago, began to try
and find ovit the most economical and
least trying way of walking1. There
are many manners of walking, says
the Popular Science News, some of
which are- much devoid of grace, but
it may be supposed that as far as effi
ciency is concerned one must be better
than the others. ' M. de Kaoul has
come to the conclusion that, as far as
fast walking is concerned, the best
method is that which he calls marche
enflexion. The principle is to run
without leaping, to. raise the body
above ground as little as possible, to
keep the knees bent, the upper part of
the body inclined forward, so that
practically you are always running
after your center of gravity. The feet
must be raised only very slightly. M.
de Raoul, who has now some years of
experience, says that he can now take
any man .between twenty and sixty
and teach him to run as long as his
legs can carry him without getting
out of breath. Some men can, on the
very first trial of the method, run seven
or eight miles without stopping, while,
with the ordinary tactics, they could
not have run over one mile. The first
kilometer (a kilometer is five-eighths
of a mile) is usually covered in seven
minutes and a quarter, the second in
six minutes, and the- third in five min
utes and forty-five seconds . An inter
esting feature of M.. de Raoul's re
searches is that even after a long run,
according to his method, a stiff walk is
no trouble at all; the muscles which
work in both cases do not belong to
the same set, and while one exercise is
performed the muscles' which minister
to the other rest. :"i
Dr. Adolph Liebmann, of the, Whit
worth institute, Manchester, England,
said in an address the other evening in
New York city that remarkable prog
ress had been made in the manufactur
ing of artificial indigo. Experts have
devoted much time to this production,
he states; and the result is that indigo
can be evolved from coal t.nr lw
different methods, but as yet no one has
succeeded in discovering a process suf-
iicienuy cneap to compete with natural
indigo. '
Deafness Cannot he Cured
By local' applications, as they cannot
reach the diseased portion of the ear.
There is only one way to cure Deafness,
and that is by constitutional remedies.
Deafness is caused by an inflamed con
dition of the mucous lining of the
Eustachian Tube. . When this tube gets
inflamed you have a rambling sound or
imperfect hearing, and when it is entirely
closed Deafness is the result, and unless
the inflammation can be taken out and
this tube restored to its normal condi
tion, hearing will be deetroyed forever;
nine cases out of ten are caused by
catarrh, which is nothing but an in
flamed condition of the mucous surfaces.
; We will give One Hundred Dollars for
any case of Deafness c caused by catarth)
that cannot be cured by Hall's Catarrh
Care. Send for circulars, free.
