The week opened with comparatively

SLOW ON The TARIFF
Little Progress Towards the
Hoped-For Agreement.
Increased Talk OF Another Bill
Making Sugar Free.
Secretary Carlisle Frequently Con-
suited by Conferreos.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 6.-The Demo-
cratic tariff conferrees were in session
again to-day at II o'clock and resumed
the work of trying to reach an agree
ment on the points Of difference. When
some OF the members OF the Committee
came cut Of the conference room at IL
O'Clock they stated that no perceptible
progress had been made, and that to all
appearances the situation was the same
as 1t had been for the past week.
Secretary Carlisle has recently been
called into frequent consultation by in
dividual members Of the conference.
and he was called on Saturday night by
subcommittee Of the conference. He
made certain suggestions concerning
the administrative features of some of
the proposed compromise features, and
1t is understood that since these sugges-
tions were received, the conference has
been considering their bearing upon the
questions at issue. The coal and iron
questions have been taken up, with a
view to reaching an understanding upon
them. but progress has been slow.
1t is understood that the Senate con-
ferrees have indicated a willingness to
make concession IN the way of time
that the duty shall continue. but not to
lessen the amount of duty provided In
either case. The House members have
not Indicated disposition to accept
this concession and are understood still
| to be holding out for the terms OF the
House bill on these items.
The Louisiana Senators are demanding
the continuation of at least q part Of
| the sugar bounty for the present year,
but the prospect Of the success of this
demand does not appear to be bright.
There is an increase in the talk OF pass
Ing free sugar bill. In case Of the fall
ure Of the Tariff bill, which is probably
intended largely to bring the Louisiana
