 The Republicans win Not Fight the Tarin Bill in the Present Stage. Washington, D. C., July 17.-The tariff conference committee have come to disagreement and so will report to both branches of congress.
 This was practically determined upon before they adjourned last night, and at the short session of the conference this morning 1t was decided to call in the re- publican members of the conference.
 The democratic conference adjourned until ? o'clock after issuing invitations to the republicans to be present. The fact that disagreement had been reached and that report would be made soon spread, and then the ques- tion arose as to what branch of congress would the first report be made. It was remarkable fact that very few members of congress knew the ex- act position of the bill. many senators claiming that the bill had been sent to the senate when the house disagreed, but the representatives claimed it was still in the house.
 It was officially stated, however, that the bill was in the hands of the confer ence committee, but that "the papers in the easel were still in the house, the bill having been sent direct from the house to conference, and therefore the first report would be made to the house, and after it had acted the bill would go to the senate.
 The republican members of the con- ference committee have decided that if the democratic conference committee have agreed upon & report of total disagreement, then there will be no de- lay in the conference after the full conference meets.
 The democrats will be called to ex- plain their position, but noobjection will be made to an early report on disagreement.
 If, however, the democrats wish to report any agreements the republicans will insist upon a vote on each in conference. But the best advice re- ceived by tn republicans from the con- fernce committee is that the democrats will report a total disagreement rather than open the way to prolonged delay in the committee room and on the floor of either house or senate.
 It is not expected that there will be much delay over the report in the house, because 1t will be greeted with a vote to insist upon the house bill and against the senate amendments.
 In the senate the republican leaders have determined not to fight the bill at this stage. While the minority are op- posed to the passage of the bill and have determined to fight it to the bitter end, they think it best on this first report to let the democrats fight it among themselves, and so the debate will be an airing of democratic grievances and the conservatives" or sugar trust demo- crats will have to stand up and fire their own guns to. insist upon the retention of the sugar trust schedule and the plac- ing of duties on raw materials.
 This will be a great political move on the part of the republicans, and show up the sugar trust democrats Af- ter the bill has gone back to the con- ference and come out again, then the rpublican senators will take up the fight to beat 1t. -t. e...
 It is said that the report of the gen. eral disagreement will be made to the house as soon as Speaker Crisp re- turns. This may be tomorrow. It will hardly be delayed longer.
