today failed to BE- realized. An agree
m-nt on sugar had not been reached be
yond the possibility of recall, nor haC
agreements been reached on iron ore o.
coal. Tue day closed, however, much bet
t-r than it opened. 1t had brought out
that the new sugar schedule submitted =:
an ultimatum by the conservative sena
tors would be accepted by the house con
ferees aud that there was little else thar
the formal and final announcement OF thi.
acceptance to make the agreement on
sugar complete. So fully satisfied were
the house Conferees that this schedule
would prevail that they urged its advan-
| JageS Oh their colleagues on the house side
aud pointed out that IN their opinion il
would reduce the benefits to the trust by
fifty per cent over the original schedule.
In view or the fact that the proposition
came from the senators, this willingness.
OF the house men 10 point out its adyant-
tageous features indlcat ed the common
ground they were occupying. Indeed, one
or he con!erees spoke of the results of the
| days work as equivalent 10 an agreement
on the sugar schedule, but said il was not
| such binding agreement as cut off the
possibility of disagreeing TO il on Monday.
Thus 1t stands. with the cobfereeS on the
point OF agreeing and yet not actually at
that point. As to when tue quasi agree
ment will become al absolute finality, the
| cunferees had no definite idea when they
| separated tonight As Secretary Carlisle
was with them a part of the day it is con-
cluded the schedule is also satisfactory to
| the administration.
CHANCES OF SETTLEMENT.
When the Democrats separated this
| evening Senator jones said re hoped they
might call on the Republican cnnfereeS
ear next week, possibly but not probably
on Monday, though he stated that some
! thing might occur TO upset all calcu "a
! tIons and prevent II full and complete
| djus ment of differences. The especially
| new development of the day was the dis
! closure early i'll the morning that the two
! Louisiana Senator;-Csffery and Blanch-
| ard-could not be depend d upon TO sup
| port the new sugar schedule. Their oppo-
sltlon Was based on the ground that it
| failed TO take into consideration the re-
quirements OF the Louisiana sugar
planters for bounty on their present
crop, at least. This caused ,ome uneasi-
ness at he outset, and it was felt the new
schedule, upon which hung the chance OF
full agreement, might be wrecked by the
opposition of the Louisi ma senators and
several Populists. This feeling Wore off
later in the day, however, either through
Indifference or concession to this opposing
element, and il was not regarded at the
To the success OF tue cOnlerees' efforts.
DIFFERENCES IN DETAIL
No attempt was made today, as on yes
terday, to disguise the details of the new
sugar schedule. and the confsrees them
selves officially confirmed its provisions as
male public yesterday 10y the Associated
Press, but they pointed out that the latest
phase of the proposition entirely elimi-
mated the one-teuth differeutial against
sugars coming from countries paying an
export bounty Oh sugar This, il was ex-
planned, made the proposition more nearly
approach the desires of the house In
other respects the new schedule is exacily
as heretofore given, viz: On sugars below
number Is Ouch standard (raw suga->) 40
per cent nd valorem. On sugars above
number IS Dutch standard (refiurd sugar>)
40 per cent ad valorem, or the amount
necessary for the proteciio ion of refined
Singers at the wholesale price IN the COM
try which 1t Is exported, plus differentiaI
duty of one-tfth OF cent per pound
After the conferees had reached their
viri u Il agreement on the sugar schedule
they put this to one side and took up the
question OF iron ore and coal, but adjourned
without approaching a conclusion witt
respect TO these two products.
