WASHINGTON, Jsly 10. The irst dsyof
the conference on the taeiff between the
Democratic conferessuftlas two housesy,as'
without practical result or visible pross
aess, so far as can bs sleatned. The coaD
ference continued for'Aix' hosirs, and was'
rsitnterrupted even fefs meals, but wher.
ar' adjournment was taken fsfter 6 o'clock
nciirsm in the bill had beeni finally passed
upen' and agreed to.
9aiS day was devoted to- a, general dis
cussioD of the main features OF the bill
and tive principal points Of difference be-
twecri the two houses. 1bb' conferees on
the pavt of the house of representatives
pointed ont the radical change in policy
involved in the senate's departure from
the-fre raw material platfofts and from
the ad talorem system, and asserted that
fhe seIats bill was not all thapyhe coun-
tfy'deunnded in the way Of taBtR reform.
The'scn .Hss representatives replied in eff
feet thaU while this might bhorue and
might be- admitted by individus sl mem
berg i'll ssal proved the most ratstcal bill
thatcoud be passed In the serate, and
annoufeca a determination to ssand for
the bill prTctically as 1t passed thbsenate.
They assestsd that to make anyteonces-
siops for Tree raw material mightiI endan-
ger tharfinal passage of the biiin They
also coutelaed that material red sctions
or radicd changes from ad yalorem to
speci iicduties would delay II nct.endan-
ger final action
The house members, while adrditting
the force oa these suggestions, said the
action cftt1a house might also prove un-
certain.
The conference committee met agrin at
10 O'Clock today for all all day session.
Some of,thamembers desired night ses-
sion last night, hut Mr.. Wilson's phys.
ical condition was hardly equal to 1t.
There had been hope that the commit
tee would make its first report tJ the
house not later than next Friday nfaA pos
sibly by tomorrow on verbal changes, to
which all could agree But yesterdays
conference, brought out that the differ
ences were too wide to hope for this pre-
liminary report. On the contrary, it was
practically determined to keep al work
until all WIS finished, and there is little
indication that this can be accomplished
this week.. II was also practically ron
cluded not'tp have meeting of The full
committee, at which the Repu blicnn mem
bers would be present, until the entire
bill was finished. There il, however, a
difference Of opinion on this poiuI,l and
this policy may be changed.
Reference was made in the opening
prayer in the senate yesterday to ihe law
lessness now prevalent in the country,
and the necessity for the ascendeney of
law and ordcr Several bills Of minor inn
portapoe were passed and a resolution Of
fered by Mr.. PETER locking to the gov
ernment control of railways, and coal
mines and the adoption of the single tax
doGt rne went over. The naval appropria-
tion bill was passed with several amend
ments aftara lively debate over the clause
in the bill relating to the appointment of
naval cadets at large, which Mr.. Allen
said would produce a naval aristoGrncy,
but nothing came of 1t. Mr.. Blanchard
made personal explanation of his action
on the final vote on the passage of the
tariff bill
