Demanded That tho Tariff Conferrees
Come to Some Conclusion.
WASHINGTON, Aug. l0.-This Yves
the first day In the senate since the
tariff was sent the second time TO the
conferrees that there has been any in
teresting proceedings. Senator Hill,
who was the central figure in several
dramatic scenes during the tariff de-
bate, was again in the van of the fray.
His resolution directing the tariff
conferrees to report their differences
because of failure to agree was u seusa-
ton. 1t was almost ad opted before the
senators fully realized Its Importance.
The conferrees were aware of it and
were willing that it be adopted. BY
parliamentary tactics n vote was pre-
vented on the resolution either as pre-
sented by Senator Hill. or IN the form
urged by Senator Aldrich. Enough
was developed, however, to
show the temper of the senate
conlerrees. Conservative senators were
so anxious that the conference should
tell all on this point that they for a
time followed the lead of Senator Hill.
BY skillful management those WHO
did not want u rupture ut once, pre-
vented the impending conflict. At
o'clock the resolution went over. The
remainder OF the session was devoted
to consideration of the Chinese treaty.
The resolution of Senator Hill re-
curing the senate couferrees to report
the principal items of disagreement In
the tariff bill, and whether an ngree-
ment was likely to be reached, had not
| been read when Senator Gray moved
an executive session. Only a few sen-
ators voted on the viva voce vote and
Senator Hill demanded the ayes and
noes. Several conservative senators
voted against the motion. Senator
Harris stated that the main disagree.
ment was on sugar, coal and iron ore.
Objection was made to consideration OF
the resolution, rs 1t lacked unanimous
consent. Senator Hill insisted that II
was proper matter for the considera.
ton Of the senate at this time. The
vice president decided that under the
rules the resolution must lay over Q
day.
"Whe il comes before the senate to.
| morrow | shall take occasion to make
statement which can be done without vIo-
| lation OF the confluence oil the conferrees,
said Senator Hill
at is time" l think" said Senator Vest
" hat the calcium light of truth be shed
upon the work OF the conference. VIII
this end in view | will, when the resolution
is considered tomorrow. speak of the in

circulated as to the work of the conferree:
on the part OF the senate"
Senator Aldrlch of Rhode Island
executed flank movement by calling
up the resolution heretofore offered by
Senator Allen. Fierce opposition was
made. Senator Mills objected tha

$500, 600, 900 treasury notes, which led
Senator Aldrch to ask: as not the
amendment as germane as it Is for the
senator to discuss the Chinese ques

Senator Mills insisted that 1t would
be breach of the rights of the house tc
