A LITTLE MORE TARIFF TALK
The Conference Should End Either by
agreement or Disagreement.
50 SAY CONSERVATIVE SENATORS
The Proposition 10 Put Sugar on The Free
List WIN Receive tho Support Of
All The Republicans.

WASHINGTON, Aug. S.-Senators Jonas
and Vest, of the tariff conference, and
German and Smith on behalf of the con-
sentative senators, it is understood, de-
cided today that the time had arrived
when the conference should end, either
by agreement or disagreement. Jones,
after the morning conference, said the
senate conferrees might ask to be dis
charged, but he did not think such a re-
quest would be made today. The repub-
lican steering committee this morning
discussed the proposition to make sugar
free. The opinion is expressed that by
putting sugar on the free list the votes Of
the Louisiana senators would be lost to
the bill, but Senator PETER might vote
for it. The proposition TO put sugar on
the free list will receive the support of
the entire republican side When the
tariff conferrees adjourned for recess the
air was full of rumors, among them it
being stated that an agreement would be
reached at the afternoon session. A
leading conservative senator said the
house must take tho responsibility of
risking another vote upon the bill in the
senate. There seems to be a determina-
ton on the part of the senate to force a
decision one way or the other during the
day, but the issue may be further de-
layed.
Senator Smith said he expected the
full committee to be called together to-
morrow and the bill reported. The COM
promise sugar schedule announced last
week would be part of the agreement 1t il
eaid the agreement is on the basis OF
making either coal or iron free, but re-
ports as to which be made dutiable are
conflicting.
