No Time set For RssssembIins.
Little or no attcmpt was made To take up
items or schedules, the talk being on the
sensational general phase just developed,
and no progress was made up 10 O'Clock,
when the conference separated without
fixing "A time for reassembling.
The house conferrees no longer disguised
the deep concern they felt over the future of
the bill. They had made rough estimate of
the vote OH the Hin resolution and they
felt IL would pass today. Under these cir
cumstances, they said, nothing could be
done until the resolution was disposed Of

HtPs BombsheIl.
Yesterday was the first day In the senate
since the senate tariff bill was sent a SEQ
ond time 10 conferroes that there was un-
usual interest In the proceedings.
Senator Hill, who has been the central
figure In several dramatic scenes during
tho tariff debate, was again In the van Of
the fray. His resolution directing the
tariff conferrees 90 report the difficulties
and cause OF the failure TO agree was a
sensation. IL was almost adopted before
the senators fully realized it's importance.
The conferrees were aware Of 10 and were
willing IL should be adopted. BY parlia-
mentary tactics vote was prevented on
the resolution, either as presented by Sem
ator Hill or in the form urged by Senator
Aldrich.
Enough was developed, however, to
show the temper Of the senate conferrees.
benator Vest hoped that ID would pass %
that the calcium hight might be turned
on" and he be given an opportunity to
"refute the infamous lies that have been
told about the co-fsProes ON the part OF
the senate" Senator Harris was willing
that the oonferrees should have an airing,
but wanted it done In strictly parlia-
mentary manner.
Senators Villas Gray, Pasco and others
desired that action be postponed.
The conservative senators were anxious
that the conferrees should tell all, and
upon this point for time they followed
the lead of Mr.. Hill. BY skillful manage
ment those who did not want n rupture at
once prevented the impending conflict. At
2 o'clock the resolution went over, and the
Republican managers, who were assisting
TO make trouble saw that the Democrats
were uniting TO prevent the storm and
would not risk another vote in order to
keep the resolution before tho senate.
The remainder OF the session was de-
voted to the consideration Of the Chi
nese treaty. The senate adjourned at
4i80 until today, although the peace
makers endcavored to have no session
until Monday.
