DECISION TO BE REACHED TODAY.

ate Cltimatum.


ate Uitimatum.
The understanding among the tariff
conferrees when they adjourned late yes
terday afternoon was that the session to-
day should bring about either an agree
ment on the sugar schedule or decision
TO report n disagreement. The day was
devoted By the conference to a discussion
Of the sugar question on the new schedule
mentioned in the foregoing This sched-
ule was submitted TO the conference as the
ultimatum of the conservative senator's.
coming through Smith Of New jersey, and
the house conferrees were given to under.
stand that the schslule was the nearest
approach TO the requirements that the
senate could make with any assurance
that the bill would pass in the senate.
some of the house conferrees are favor
ably inclined toward the schedule, because
they believe that it defines exactly the ex-
ira duty to be paid on refined sugar and is
free from the objection urged against the
senate scbedule-that owing to the word.
ing Of the schedule it was impossible to
tell beyond the one-eight of n cent differ
entail what the duty would be on the re-
fined article. They are of the opinion that
the duty in the schedule presented will be
confined to the one-fifth Of a cent differ.
entail.
A report received from an inside source
is to the effect that some OF the house con-
ferrees found this schedule Objectionable
from several points of view, and when the
time for adjournment was reached had
not only failed to indicate willingness
TO nccept the schedule, but had said that
so far rs they have been able to master its
details they considered it unacceptable 1t
was this expression of opinion on their
part which left the situation in such doubt
when the conference adjourned, and
rendered it possible that instead of an
agreement being reached the result
might be a disagreement.

ferrees is one providing for duty Of 10
per cent. on raw sugar and on the value
OF the raw sugar used in the manufacture

one-fifth Of q cent differential on refined

Experiments Needed.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 4-Responding to
a resolution of the senate Secretary Nor
ton has laid before that body a reply
in which he says that experiments in ar
Horticulture throughout the United States
are very much needed. He says that the
denudlnS OF the forests is progressing at
the rate of 80, 600 acres per day The dis
tribution of pine seeds among inexperi
enced people, says Mr.. Morton, has not
proved OF utility, and he recommends
that young trees be bought of nursery
men instead. The maintenance of exteus-
i've forests, the report continues, increases
the rainfall in their vicinity, but such for
ests consume and modify the distribution
OF water supplies in a far greater degree
than they cause rainfall

Introduced In the Senate by Davis and
Laid on the Table.
WASHINGTON, Aug. Another anti
option bill was introduced in the senate
by Senator Davis of Minnesota. He stat
ed that he introduced it by request. Sem
ator Harris suggested that it go to the
finance committee. Senator George, how
ever, said that inasmuch as it was bill
to raise revenue it should originate in the
house. Thereupon the second reading was
postponed and the bill was laid on the
table.
Senator Davis said to correspondent
that he really knew nothing about the
bill. He had received it with the request
that he introduce it. The measure is not
put together very neatly. Its provisions
are similar to those of the Hatch bill, ard
if passed, it would prove fully as OBJ
noXioUs to legitimate business men.

THE REAL CROP SITUATION,

OMAHA, Aug. 4.-The Burlington has

estimate Of the crop situation in Nebraska
South Dakota and northern Kansas,
through General Passenger Agent Francis
He says: 1T is encouraging to note that
the damage done to the corn, especially
along the lines of the B. and NJ, is not
nearly so serious as reported. The terrible
heat and long absence of rain in the diff
ferent corn belts gave a bad outlook to the
growing crop; still my experience has al
ways been that the first reports received
are usually exaggerated, and they have
been no exception to the rule this year
