Washington, July 31.-The full confer
tnce committee on the tariff met, and on
the suggestion of Mr.. Wilson it was de-
Cided to adjourn to meet at the call of
the chairman. the statement being made
Tat the Democrats were lnable to agree
amo-g themselves us yet, and that fur
tier conference of the full committee
Wnnld rvail nothing
The Republican house conferees smiled
broadly when they returned to the house.
To their waiting associates they explained
that the full conference had lasted only
q minrte. Seuator Harris, they said,
had stated that there were "a few items
on which the Democratic conferees had
not agreed" He had not specified the
items, lut the Republican conferees had
gathered that they were sugar, coal and
iron ere. The Republicans seem to think
the deadlock is not likely to be broken
ye1y soon. The time for the house Dem
ocratic caucus has been changed to Thurs
day afternoon. A report that members
had withdrawn their names from the Pc
tltlan III sufficient numbers to cause the
caucus to be abandoned proved wrong.

OF wavering in the strong line that has
stood behind the senate bill. sSenate hill

day, but less frequently and with less
emphasis than heretofore. The only ey.
PLANTATION for the brief conferences ia
the fact that the house conferees foel
that the situation is changing in ,boi1
favor. There are many reasons au-
Yanced to show that this statement has
good foundation. 1t is known that the
mails and telegraph are bringing to the
Democratic senators urgent appeals to
pass bill which will not favor the trusts
and which will he in line with the de-
mands of the party platform.
In fact these requests upon the sena-
tors are endorsements of the position of
the president and the house in the main
points of difference. That these tele-
grams are having effect cannot be de-
MED, and have caused the senator's who
are most insistent upon the senate bill as
regards coal, iron ore and sugar, no little
concern. The house members also find
considerable comfort in their analysis of
