TWO COURSES OPEN
Free Trade No Longer a a Pos
sibiIity.
THE SENATE BILL OR NONE,
Tariff Conferrees Fast Arriving at That
Conclusion-C Chairman Wilson Re-
allies the situation.

WASHINGTON, J1ly 2S.--When the
tariff conference broke up the house
members were disposed to hold out
stiffiy for considerable concessions on
cutlery aud steel rails. The prospects
now are that the rates on rails Will be
lowered somewhat, bat that the cut
lery rates will not be changed. The
the house rate of 81 per pound on
wrapped tobacco, retaining the same
phraseology. There Will also be some
changes In the woollen schedule, the
most important of which is probably
in the paragraph relating to cloth in
mems wear. Cloth and cotton yarns
will probably be reduced to an extent
of about per cent, as will iaces and
embroideries. on which the rate Will
probably be made As instead of so
cents. The rates on china and earth
enware, which arc slightly higher
than those on the senate bill, will be
accepted.
Settled Policy Probable.
The presidents desire to see Mr..
Wilson before the conference opened,
coupled with Speaker Crlsps' call at
the White house yesterday. and the
presidents request of Mr.. Mcmillan to
come to the White house last night,
were all ncospted in congressional cir
Giles as evidence that the president was
willing to let Chairman Wilson and
Senator Mcmillan know exactly his
opinion before the con ference Was re-
sumed.
Only Two Courses Opon.
When the visit of Mr.. Wilson to the
White house became known among
members it was felt on all sides that o
settled policy on the part of the admin
lstration had been agreed on. 1t was
the almost unanimous expression of
the members that but two courses
were open, in view OF the attitude
of the senate and the lie vote yes
terday, VIZ: To accept practically
the senate bill or to leave the McIIin-
ley law stand. The expressions were
quite general that as between the SEN
ate bill with such notifications as
could be obtained and the Mckinley
law, the president and Mr.. Wilson
would reluctantly accept the former
and thus end the legislative panic and
avert the probable failure of all tariff
legislation.
Sure of an Agreement.

proposition Of whether or not they
would accept practically the senate
bill or nothing.

The democrats of the conference will
meet on Monday again and possibly In
the afternoon the republican men,
beers will he called in. Later Chairman
Wilson sent for the entire ways and

The hatred of Italians in France by
the French lower classes, intense be-
fore the assassination of President
Carnot, has become so bitter that the
Italians are fleeing for their lives
from many sections of France, states
the Chicago Record. The people Of
Italy are maddened by this unreason-
able hatred, and in Turin and other
places reprisals have already COM
menced against French residents. The
little fire of individual persecution
blazes brightly now. There is danger
that it may extend and become con,
fagration of international war. Thera
has been no love lost between the
countries for years.
