THE TARIFF.
Rumors Regarding the Work Of the
Conference Committee.

RumOfs Regarding the Work OF the
Conference Committee.
Wsshingtt n, July 13.-There was more
interest manifested to-day-among senators
and members of the house not members
of the tariff conference committee than
on any previous day since the conference
of the Democratic members of the COM
mittee began, and the air of both tho
tclse and the senate was full of rumors
as to what had b zen dcne. Many OF
these stories wee considered sufficiently
well founded to justly sen:tors and
men bers In discussing them as accom-
plished facts. The most persistent of
these. rurors vas that coal and iron ore
were to be restored to the free list as
they were when the bill passed the
house A thorough investigation revealed
the fact that tbs story grew out of a
con. ct sation between members of the
COZ nittee and senators and representa-
tiyes not connected with it and while it
had not been stated III these CONVERSE
tions that the committee had agreed upon
these changes the outside members were
given to understand that this was the
programme and that it was to be put
into execution by the joint efforts of the
house conferees and two of the senate
managers of the conference. The men,
bers of the committee spoken to upon
the subject after the adjournment of the
committee, declared that no action had
been yet taken upon these two items,
and they went so far as to declare that
they had not even been discussed. They
made the same denial of another story
which was current to the effect that
changes had been decided upon in the
sugar schedule.

WORMS ARE OUT FOR BIZ.
They Eat the Grass Clean, After
Which Crops of All Kinds Suffer.

Which Crops of All Kinds SudeF.
Mansfield, Wis, July 13.-Farmers
three miles north of here are greatly mys-
titled over the appearance of myriads of
worms which have l:rtciy been visiting in
that locality and which destroy all grow
ing crops in their way. The worm re-
sembles the cabbage worm very much,
being about an inch long. They literally
cover the ground. One grass field of
twenty et:res was stripped, leaving the
bare STALKS standing, in two days time.
The appearance of the worm seems con-
fined to the section of country burned
over by forest fires last fall. Fields of
grass are first attacked after which the
worms sail into other growing crops.
Farmers say the new pest does the most
DANCE at night when they appear in
droves stripping stalks of leaves and
head. '5;'he worms vary in size from a
quarter 10 an inch, in length, are dark
brown in color with light stripe extends
along the side.

cred serious blow to the a. r. U.
The general managers have returned
Mr.. Debs' proposition without answer,
hut with the INFORMATION to the mayor
that no communication whatever from
the parties signing could DE received or
considered by the association. This
means that the strike will be continued
until one side or the other surrenders un-
conditionally.

dent Debs called meeting of his direc-
tory at the Revere foase, aud for half
hourhour the strike leaders were in close

declare the strike off under certain con-
ditious. J. B. Sovereign said: 'The

drawn up yesterday. They contained two
provisions; first, that there should be ar
bitration, and, second, that all striking
employees except those charged with
crime should be taken back by the en-
ploycrs I have not seen Mr.. Debs this
morning, but as arbitration has been Sc
cured, and that is all we wanted, thus
great victory has been obtained for
labor

sented the proposition which he proposed
| to present to the general managers to
Mayor Hopkins, and asked the mayor to
accompany him to the general managers

Its members averred, to the slight put
upon the committee of seven by Debs
land Sovereign in attempting to settle
Ftle difficulty without them.

militia, said that if the general man
