The Conferees Ready to Report to
Congress.

AN AGREEMENT REACHED ON ALL DISPUTED
PoINTs-AcTIos on BINDING rwINE AND SUGAR
THE BILL MAY BE SIGNED NEXT MONDAY AND
CONGRESS MAY ADJOURN NEXT WEEK
The conferees are at last through with the
tariff bill They are not altogether certain
how their report is going to be received by
the "kickers," but they have done the only
thing that was opened to them-they have
taken stand and rely upon party discipline to
do the rest. Nobody knows yet what the ten
republican Senators who have declared that
they will not vote for bill continuing taxed
binding twine will do, but past experience
suggests that they will do what the party lead
ers tell them to. They have 70 yield or there
will be no tariff law, and il is not to be SUD-
posed that par sisans will take upon themselves
the responsibility Tor undoing ;he work of tine
session, which, whether good or bad is what
the party record Is founded on.
Some republicans In both houses may have
some wordy criticisms 10 pass uton the report
OF the conference, but there az pe ars no reason
to doubt that IL Will be adopted speedily, and
that Congress win adjourn not later than Tues
day next
THE REPUBLICAN coNrEREEs
themselves have never been very far apart;
they have represented chiefly tho same radical
protection element in the party and could have
agreed upon report satisfacto " to them all
in q very short time, but doubt and delay was
necessary 10 work upon The malcon-
tents, and the agreement that they have
been struggling to bring abou: was that of the
factions outside the conference. The bill as il
comes out of conference IL regarded as much
nearer the House bin as originally passed than
it is like the Senate bill.
The republican members of tho conference
reached their agreement on sugar and binding
twine late last night and this morniis, the ques-
tion Of date was the only thing 70 be settled.
THE CLOSE OF THE CONFERENCE.
The conference committee was in session
until nearly o'clock today. They then sepa-
rated. the agreement being complete. The
last thing to do is to fix the date when the bill
is to 60 into effect. which they decided should
be the 9th OF October.
The sugar question was settled by taking on
the duty up to 10 Dutch standard and puiling
on a tax OF Il cent above that. Binding
twine was put nc IS. Senators from the north
west are said TO be indignant &C the terms Of
tho agreement ON sugar and binding twine
and there Is talk of their voting 70 defeat the
bill This wiz probably end in talk.
MAY 90 TO THE HOUSE TO-DAY.
The conference report win probaby,be ready
for presentation to the House between 2 and
o'clock this afternoon. No attempt viii be
made, IL 10 said, to put the conference report
through the House today. IL viii be called up
tomorrow. and it Is thought IL will be agreed TO
before adjournment 1he Senate vii consider
it Monday and speeches viii be made
by Senators Aldrich, Carlisle and possibly
senator lngslls. IL 10 thought the hill may 70
to the President Monday night or Tuesday.
Senator Aidrich says Congress can adjourn
next Tuesday, bat the general impression Is
that an adjournment viii not be had before
the end Of the week Of Monday following.
