Crisp Again at the White House.

WASHINGTON, July 2s.-Spoakcr Crisp was again at tho White House, and al though strict reticence on tho part of those who are informed of the conference is maintained 1t is accepted as n fact in congressional circles that tho talk was concerning the solution of tho tarlff prob lem. Mir. Crisp did not make his visit known to the members of the committee on rules or to his other close associates, and the meeting with the president has not as yct been productive of any results so far as shaping the course of the house. The feeling continues to be very strong among the members to end the struggle with such concessions from the senate as can be got
 Mir. Crisp has given no intimation that he shares this feeling, although 1t is tho general belief of members that the con fcrcnccs at the White House arc with the view of reaching results and passage of the bill with little delay.

The fact that the available cash halancc remains practically unim- paired and the expectation that the tariff bill will soon pass both houses of congress and become law arc sources of comfort at this time to the treasury folks. With the passage of tariff bill the officials con- fidcntly expect a prompt revival of trade and corresponding increase in the GUS. toms and internal revenue receipts.

 WAsnINGTON, July as.-Tho senate, aft CT a week of senatorial speeches, has agreed to tho further conference on tho tariff bill asked by the house of represent ativcs.
 The test of strength came on MT Wash burn s motion that tho senate reccde from that portion of the sugar amendment plac- ing differential of onc-cighth of n cent on sugars above No. i6 Dutch standard. After an hour and n half of debate on tho pending points of order the president pro temporc. Mir Harris, who was in the chair in the absence of Vice President Steven son. sustained the point of order and ruled the motion out
 Tho decision was immediately appealed from and n motion made to lay the latter motion on the table. Roth motions re suited in tic vote Mir Hill and the Pop ulists acting with the Republicans in tho effort to get q direct vote of tho senate on MT. Washburn's m,tion.
 An Exciting Crisis.
 Intense excitement prevailed owing to the closcness of the vote. In csse of n tic the motion is lost according to parliament tary law. The failure to sustain tho chair on the appeal brought the senate to tho direct vote on the Washburn motion. Up on the result hinged perhaps the fate of the measure.
 But. though the Republicans scored the victory in securing the vote on tho one eighth diffcrcntial, 1t developed that they had no reserve strength, and tho vote on the Washburn motion also resulted in n tic and consequently was lost. All the Democrats save Mir. Hill and Mir. Irby who were paired in favor of striking out the onc-cighth, stood in u body by the eau GUS agreement and voted against the mo- tion. The Republicans also presented n solid front Mir. Quay, who voted for the one-cighth when the bill was in the sen ate, joining with his colleagues in the hope of beating tho bill by this direct method. The thrco Populists acted | throughout with the Republicans. After these votes no attempt was made to delay matters. and the resolution to agree to further conference was agreed to without division.
 Then n sccne of incxtricable confusion followed. Tho Democrats wrung each others hands enthusiastically. Their col
