TALKING OVER THE rANeLE.
Conferences Held at the White House
Over the Tariff.

Washington, July % -- Secretaries
Gresham, Lamont and Smith and Post
master General Bissell were in conference
with the President at the white house
this evening The tariff situation was
reviewed, but so far as can be learned no
conclusion was reached. Secretary Car
Isle was at the white house late in the
afternoon.
Senator German visited the white
house this morning by invitation of the
President, and while nothing official can
be learned Of what transpired it is stated
that the President endeavored to dis
suade Senator German from his an
nOunced purpose to make a speech upon
the Presidents letter to Chairman Viii
son, and urged that the tariff bill be
allowed TO go back to the conferees with
out debate. Senator German made his
speech, however, and it is probable that
other speeches will be made by Senators
Voorhees,, Mills and Brice and perhaps
Hill The advisabiity of holding n eau
Gus was discussed by several democratic
senators this afternoon, but no conclusion
was reached and it is probable that none
will be held.
NO CHANGE IN THE SITUATION.
Judging by the statement of one of the
managers of the bill as made tonight,
uation. 1t still remains fraught with
danger to the bill Much depends upon
the persistence with which Senator Villas
pushes his motion to strike out the differ
ential duty on refined sugar, and the atti-
tude Of this senator led a number of dem
ocrats to-day to make statement that it
looked as If the administration wanted TO
see this action taken. 1t Is known
tonight, however, that If an effort Is made
to push this notion a motion that win
surely prevail, some Of the democrats are
prepared TO take the responsibility Of set
tlng the fight at once and for all by ac-
cepting the last resort and max
ing the motion to indefinitely
postpone the conference report.
The positive statement was made
by democratic leader to night that this
motion will only be made when all efforts
have failed to get the bill back TO CON
ference unchanged in any respect, and If
made by democrat this senator said that
it would prevail beyond any possible

that the House making the most radical
demand always gave way. 700 into the
next conference" SAID he turning to Mr.
voorhees, and Mr.. Vest, say to them
that In Ohio, New Jersey. New
\ ork, Indiana and West Virginia,
which demand the Senate notifications,
there are more manufacturing concerns
than in all the states that ask these
radical changes. If the Senate amend
ments are not accepted this bill is de-
feated. You have heard enough senators
already to know that it is this bill or
nothing"
While congratulations were being
showered on Mr.. German, Mr.. White,
dem, of California took the floor and
argued that, from a democratic stand
point there was nothing TO do but adopt
the motion of Mr.. Gray to insist on the
Senate amendments, and to agree to fur
ther conference. The adoption of the
motion either of Mr.. Hill or Mr. Villas
would result in the defeat of the measure
and the porpetuation Of the Mckinley
act, which was the winning card of the
sugar trust.
The question was put by the presiding
officer, Mr. Bate, on Mr. Hills motion,
when MIR. CoCkrell rose and moved to pro
coed to executive business.
That motion was agreed to, aud, after q
short executive session, the Senate, at
3:45 p. m, adjourned till tomorrow at
noon.

Chicago, July ga motion was made
before Judges Woods and Grosscup in the
United States court this morning to dis
miss the charges of contempt of court
against President Debs, Vice President
Howard, Secretary Kehher and Director
Rogers Of the American Railway Union.
The case was argued aJ great length, but
was not finished.
The first move in the case was made by
Attorney Gregory for the defense, who
asked that his clients be released on ac-
count of an insutficiency of evidence.
The judges called for the reading Of the
information and the answer thereto. The
reading Of these documents. were, long
and tedious. The information charged
that President Debs and his associates con
tinued interfering with the employees
of railroads and ordering strikes after he
had been enIoined from so doing, and con-
tanned a long array of kilograms, pur-
porting to be signed by +. Y. Debs, order
ing out and encouraging strikers, at a
date subsequent TO the serving of the in
junction.
The defendants entered q fiat denial
and disclaimed all knowledge of the tele-
grams produced They averred that they
had no power to order a strike, but
could only advise, and if their advice was
accepted it was voluntarily done.
Upon these statements the argument
was based.
