NEARING A DECISION.

washington, August 2-The tariff
conference appears to have reached
very nearly a point at which either an
early agreement will be reached, or a
decision to report disagreement. The
senate conferees apparently have ar
rived at the conclusion that there had
already been a sufficient exchange OF
views upon the general lines, and the
time had come when a direct issue must
be raised. A stated sugar schedule has
been prepared which they say they will
accept. The schedule, 1t is said, still
provides a differential duty on refined
sugar, and in other particulars main
tains the protective features of the SEN
ate schedule.
Representative Bland has introduced
O. resolution instructing the committee
on ways and means to report bill plac-
ing all sugars on the free list, and for
raising s1OO, 100000 revenue by an income
tax. Bland says concerning the reso-
luton: II have not consulted Mr.. Will
son, nor anyone else. but have acted on
my own judgment in submitting the
resolution. My purpose is to press 1t,
