NEW 1CRh, July lI.-h WdShihHboh
dispatch to the Evening Post says: SEN
ator German is quoted by Missouri
representative as saying to q group OF
Democratic representatives: Gentle
men. there are two tariff messures-the
Mckinley law and the senate bill. You
can take your choice" This is believed
to be the tariff situation here today.
A TOTAL DISAGREEMENT.
WARRINGTON, July 1S.-The tariff con-
ference decided after 15-minute session
this afternoon to report a disagreement
ON the entire bill.
Speaker Crisp said this morning there
would be NO report from the tariff COM
mittee today. The house Democratic
leaders evidently thought it might
prove inexpedisnt to carry out the plan
OF reporting total disagreement and
asking for instruction, as such report
would only emphasize the character OF
the differences, and should the senate
and house instruct their conferees to
stand by their respective positions, it
would precipitRte q deadlock. One OF
Mr.. Crisp's closest ad visers said that the
report would probably come in tomor-
row.
The house confrees desired to make q
partial report on such agreements as
were possible and ask for Instructions
on items subject to disagreement. The
senate conferess stood for agreement or
Disagreement in toto. The Democratic
conferees made today another Intellectual
effort to reach an agreement, and i'd
journed with the understanding that
the full committee was to meet at 2
O'Clock and was to report Disagree
mont, which was done, as above stated.
THE PROGRAMME FOR TODAY.
The programmes for handling tina tariff
Disagreement when it is reported to the
house tomorrow was substantially
agreed upon this afternoon. Wilson
will make brief verbal report as soon
as the house convenes. Mr.. Cstchings,
from the committee on rules, will pre-.
sent special rule allowing two hours
for debate, at the end of which a vote
will be taken on the motion to recommit
the bill to conference. 1t 10 expected
that there viii be objection to the rule.
Wilson and Reed will each control one
hour.
