WASHINGTON, July 1s.-Spcaker Crisp
says there will be no report from tho tariff
conference committee to-day. The house
democratic leaders evidently think II
might provo inexpedient to carry out tho
plan OF reporting . total disagreement
and asking for instructions, as such no.
port would only emphasize the character
Of tho difference, and should the senate
and house instruct thoir conferees to stand
by their respective positions II would
prccipitate deadlock.
One Of Mr.. Crisp's closest advisers said
the report would probably como In to-mor-
row. The house confcrccs desire to make
o partial report Of such agreements rs arc
possible, and ask for instructions on the
items subject to disagreement. Tho sem
ate confcrces havo stood for agreement or
disagreement in toto.
The democratic conferees to-day made
another Intellectual effort TO reach an
agreement, and adjourned with the under.
standing that the full committee to meet
at 2 o'clock was TO report disagreement.
Tho conferees decided after Is minute
session this afternoon to report disagree
mont on the entire bill.
One Of the house conferecs says the re-
port will be disagreement In toto. II IL
expected to be the first business takcn up
by tho house tomorrow. Tho republican
couferees could cause delay. but such
action 10 not anticipated. Sugar, iron orc
and coal were the points that forced tho
total disagreement.
Tho statement Of Representative Baker
OF New Hampshire that he had been or.
roneously reported by tho tcllers as pres.
ent and not voting, said tho truth was
that he was not present. This moved Mr..
Reed to say q word for the system of
quorum counting In tho Fifty-first con-
gress, wherein he said out Of hundreds Of
opportunities but two mistakes had oc-
Cured, while out Of two opportunities
under tho existing system ono error had
occurred.
Speaker Crisp admitted the possibility
Of error under any system, but pointed
out that the superiority claimed for tho
present rule was that II removed any sus-
picion Of an intentional unfairness.
Under tho special order adopted on
Monday the remainder Of the day was de-
voted to business reported from tho COM
mittee on military affairs. Tho bills were
passed to regulate tho enlistments in Tho
army; to authorize tho boards OF mana
gers of the soldiers homo to transfer and

eral John L. Green on tho retired list as
first lieutenant; Eugene Wells, az second
lieutenant; Napoleon ]. Dana, as assist
/
as captain; Charles B. Stivcrs, as captain
and James William Albert, as major.
