Tarin Conferrees Return the Biii-Polnts
of Disagreement.
WASHINGTON, July 19.-The conferees
on the tariff oill have decided TO make
disagreeing report
Mr.. Wilson stated after the confer
ence that he would take the report TO
the house in the morning. IL is be-
lieved that the bill will again be In
conference by Saturday at the latest.
The committee on rules will probably
report a special order limiting the
time during which the debate upon the
report may continue.
The report will be a disagreement
I'm toto. IL will be very brief and will
not go into any details as To what
questions the senate and house might
have come together on. The report is
expected 90 be the first business taken
up by the house when il assemblies.
Beyond the point of making the
brief report OF disagreement, the con-
ferees profess not 20 know what the
house or senate will do One of the
house conferees said the three items
OF sugar iron ore and coal were the
points that had forced the total disa-
greement Woolens, cottons. lead ore
and some other things were open TO
difference. yet il was hoped these
could have been recancilcd, said the
conferee, il sugar, coal and iron had
not stood In the way.
A house democratic member OF the
conference committee outlined To the
Associated Press the following lines OF
agreement and disagreement in the
conference, summarized by schedules
as follows:
Schedule A. chemicals oils and paints
Agreements on all points Of dispute we're OBJ
tainablc.
Schedule II. earths, earthenware and glass
ware Agreements on main differences were
made and minor differences could have been
adjusted.
Schedule c. metals and manufactures Of
The disagrocmcnts were wide on ores and man
ufacturcd metals, with little common ground
for agreement.
Schedule ID. wood and manufactures Of
Agreement could have been secured.
Schedule T., sugar-1he disagreement was
positive and vital.
Schedule r, tobacco and manufactures No
trouble was apparent in reaching an agree
mcnt.
Schedule c. agricultural products and pro-
yisions-The differences were open TO ADJUST
ment.
Schedule H. spirits, wines and other bever-
ages a basis OF agreement had been reached
Schedule /, cotton manufactures-An agree
ment could have been reached.
Schedule J, fax hemp and iutc agree
ment was not considered dinicult.
Schedule X wool and manufactures OF wool
Differences could have boon adjusted,
Schedule l., NJ and y, silk, paper and sun
drics-Agreemcnts were easy.
From the foregoing it isevident that
agreements were possible on most OF
the questions and that the schedules
which brought about total disagree
ment narrowed down 20 iron ore, coal
and sugar
CHICAGO, July Impatient ut the
delays of congress I'm coming 10 some
decision on the tariff question, promi-
ment business men of Chicago have
united in an appeal that some definite
action be taken at once. The step
was precipitaied by the reports
that the conference committee
OF the two houses had failed to
agree. Many of the merchants who
had for months anxiously waited for
the new rates 20 go into effect before
buying their fall and winter goods
became alarmed over the prospect OF
much longer delays and further un-
certainty In the business world. Ac-
cordingly number of them, led by III.
n. Higinbotham and John J. Mitchell,
started out 10 get signers 10 petition
asking congress- in view OF the neces-
stiles OF the country's commercial in
terests, TO draw It's deliberations on
the tariff bill TO prompt conclusion.
In the words OF Mr.. Higgenbotham
the burden of the whole appeal was;
I'VE don't care how you settle the
question, but we want you TO settle II
In some way at once Until you do
the times will continue hard.
The petition was signed without hes
itation by ninety-eiGht of the best
known Wholesale and retail dry goods
merchants hardware dealers. bankers,
groccrs, packers and manufacturers in
the city. Every firm approached, re-
gardlcss Of the political opinions OF
its members, expressed the heartiest
sympathy with the movement. Follow
