THE TARIFF CONFEREEs.
Democratic members of the tariff con-
ference committee did not accomplish
anything this morning. Chairman Voor-
hees, one of the senate conferees, and
Chairman Wilson, of the house, were alb
sent on account of illness. Senator
~ ~,
stood that the conferees would get to-
gether again at l o'clock. If this had
been adhered to it is probable the caucus
would have lacked quorum, but senti-
ment is now felt by them so strongly
with the house conferees, that Chairman
Wilson and friends are likely to attend
the caucus and take conspicuous part
in it.
FEELING BETTER.
Friends of the Wilson bill are full of
hope to-day. They gathered about the
chairman and other house conferees or
the tariff question and assured them that
the danger of caucus action by the house
had been averted and the house Dem
ocrats could now be depended upon to
stand by the house bill to the end At
first there was an inclination among the
friends of Wilson to remain out of the
caucus.
A POPULIsT SCHEME.
Among the bills introduced in the SEN
ate yesterday was one by Senator Allen
to provide for the issue of $5O,OOO,OOO in

poor" 1t was referred to the finance
committee.
BREAKING THE DEADLOCK.
The tariff deadlock is breaking up.
After being together two hours this
afternoon the house conferees said posi-
lively that there would be an agreement
this week. One of the conferees added
that substantial concessions had been
made to the house. The senate conferees
say that it stands very much as it has
stood all along. The house conferees in
sist that if the bill is reported back on
the lines which they propose, it will be
found that there are votes enough in the
senate to pass it and have been urging
the senate conferees to give the bill
trial on these lines.

he was yesterday, having rested we'll last
