EXODUS OF STRIKERS,

Low Steamer Rates Inducing Many to
Return to Europe.
CHICAGO, July 14.-The Evening Jour
nal prints the following:
The European low rates inaugurated
by the trading steamship lines NAV re-
suit in Wholesale exodus from Chicago of
many men connected with the late
strike. Never before in the history of
steamship rates has it been possible to
go from Chicago to an European port or
city so cheaply. Since the cut rates
have been inaugurated the exodus from
Chicago and the northwest to various
points in Europe has figured up third
of the traffic to New York, according to
the estimates OF local steamship lines,
and the announcement of the last great
cut in rate5 has started real hegira
of European-born people. Dozens of
men who eaid they were now on
strike have been making inquiries at To-
cal steamship offices within the last few
days, expressing their intention OF re.
turning to the ''old country" in case the
strike was failure.
There are half dozen interesting
phases of the present situation, and
there is much food for thought in the
depletion OF the standing army of un.
employed in this country by the return
of thousands of workers to their former
homes abroad. 1t is estimated that be-
fore long labor will be at premium in
stead OF discount, and there are not a
few who figure on a season OF prosperity
as consequences of the return to Europe
of thousands who have been in the past
six months unsuccessful candidates for
mployment,

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE first for.
NAL conference on the tariff bill with all !
the senate and house members, both
Democratic and Republican. present,
was held today and continued only
about an hour. An adjournment was
then taken until 2 O'Clock tomorrow.
The proceedings in the full conference
consisted in an effort on the part OF the
Democrats to enlighten their Republi-
can colleagues upon the elements OF dis
agreement between the members OF the
two houaes, without revealing the
methods by which they have sought to
get together or the details OF the pro.
ceedings OF the Democratic conferences.
1t had been expected that the Repub-
lcau conferees would at the outset in
dulge in some criticism on having been
kept out of the conference during ite
initial stage, but the Republicans had
little to say beyond formal greetings,
and waited until Senator Voorhees,, as
the head of the Democratic conferees,
made a somewhat formal and full state
ment of the situation. He said no dis
courtesy to the Republicans had been
intended. The meetings had not been
conference meetings, but had been con-
fined to an effort to bring about come
settled policy among the Democratic
ccnferees.
Senator Voorhees, added that he was
frank to confess the efforts toward agree.

On tne other articles which had been
the bssis of disagreement, Senator
Voorhees, and the Democratic msmb bers
OF the conference contented themselves
with saying the Democratic conferences
OF the two houses had contended each
side Tor it's own bill. This had been es-
pecially trus in the metal aEd wooden
schedules, the senate amendments to
which had been strongly objected to by
the Democratic house conferees. They
said among other special articles in the
metal schedule, the house mem mbers had
held out tor tree iron ore and for the
mouse rates on lead ore containing sil-
yer, and cntlery and steel rails. They
had also demanded-so it was reported
to the full conference-free coal. In the
general discussion the Republican con-
ferees gathered that sngar, iron ore, coal,
the weolen schedule, the cotton schedule
and silver lead-bearing ores, were the
chief questions of disagreement
The question finally arose as to what
would be done, now that the full con-
