WASHINGTON, July so, 1894.

The Free Traders publicly blus-
tea quite rs loudly rs they did
week ago, as to the House conferees
holding ouJ for free raw materials
until the Senators are compelled to
surrender, but their private talk
and acting tells another story. Mr.
Cleveland has discovered that he
could not dictate to the Democratic
Senators in matters affecting the
welfare Of thousands OF citizens Of
the states they represent, and he is
said to deeply regret that he allowed
the advice Of Don Dickinson. the
Michigan rainbow chaser, to out
weigh that of Secretary Carlisle,
who advised him not to send that
letter. Tie hasn't changed his
mind about free coal for the benefit
Of the Whitney syndicate; free iron
for the Carnegie crowd, and protec-
ton for the sugar trust, but he has
found ont that he went the wrong
way TO get this unique combination

answer has vet been found to the
ultimatum Of the Senator8-"take

Some Of the shrewdest observers are
convinced that victory for the SEN
ate bib is assured. and that the
time of the Democratic bosses is
now principally taken up with ar
ranging q series Of more or less con-
fusing changes in the bill. which
shall make it seem that concessions
were made on both sides, or as one
man puts it: "fnding a soft place
for Cleveland to fall on. The
House conferees are individually
willing to hold out against the Sen
ate. but the Democrats of the
House generally are not willing to
keen M the FIGHT and they have
plainly shown their dissemination
to fight Mr.. Cleyoland's battle for
him.
