Requests for Information Obtain Very
Little-The Tari II Conference.
Inquiries were made regarding the status
OF negotiations upon sugar, coal, and iron,
but no definite information was forth
coming. Crisp said that the senate bill
was more highly protective in most of its
schedules than the house bill, and that
there were many points of difference to be
settled, and intimated that they were be-
ing settled. Finally Bynum withdrew his
resolution, explaining that he was salts
fed with the presentations, and on mo-
ton of Crisp the caucus adjourned.
The tariff conference was entirely SUBJ
ordinated to the caucus and was devoid
Of interesting features The conferrees
held two brief sessions during the day
and discussed the coal and iron ore ques.
tions, besides reverting to the sugar
schedule. The talk, however, served no
purpose except to emphasize the fact that
the disagreement is still unbroken, and
that very little if any progress is being
made.
It is impossible to ascertain what reason
the house conferrees assigned for decln-
ing to accept the sliding scale on coal and
iron ore proposed by the senate conference.
1t would appear from all information that
can be secured that without giving any
special reason, they resumed arguments for
free raw material. 1t has come to be I'M
derstood that in these meetings the house
members are doing the greater part of the
talking and that the senators have come
to be very impatient listeners.
The yielding of Voorhees, has led the
house conferrees to the conclusion that
other conquests are possible. On the other
hand, the senators have not concealed
their impatience at the delay, and the
senate conferrees have expressed their
conviction many times during the past
week that if an agreement is not soon
reached the situation demands the re-
porting of another disagreement.

Cooper Of Indiana said that senator's
around Mills had been trying to create
theimpresslon that nothing but the SEN

had its effect on Mills. These claims

cover. Now that the American people had
been informed of the attitude of these
senators, they had been publicly pilloried.
They would have surrendered already If
these caucus movements had not given
them hope that the house was weakening.
Then Crisp got the floor and made
speech that had such an effect on Bynum
that he Withdrew his resolutions.
The speaker declared that it was and
should be the purpose of the Democrats of
the house, as Democrats, to redeem the
pledges they had made to the people, He
pointed out the workings of conferences;
long struggles which sometimes took
place over disputed points; the house re-
fusing to yield to the demands of the sen.
ate;sthe senate protesting that it never
would consent, but finally consenting.
The house should stand by it's conferrees,
but no vote of confidence was needed.
The proposition for joint caucus of the
Democrats of the house and senate in case
no agreement was reached, made by
Bynum, the speaker characterized as an
abandonment of the house conferrees

"and serve a notice on the senate that you
want to meet with them. If you do that
you might as well hold the joint caucus

that the caucus should adjourn. Bynum
evidently realized that the caucus had
slipped out of his hands. He therefore
suggested that he would be glad to with.

How to Prevent Dust In Carpets.

When putting down carpets in rooms
that are much used, it is good plan to
spread newspapers over the floors, then
take clean straw and scatter it evenly
over the papers, and then put your carpet
down. 1t will let the dust through ON
the paper, and clouds Of dust will not
follow the broom on sweeping day. The
carpets will last longer with this lining
than with any other, and when you take
them up again you will find the dust
lodged on the papers, and if carefully
removed to the rubbish pile you will
avoid filing your lungs with poisonous
dust, as but little will be found ON
sweeping the floors. In putting down
carpets in spare rooms, where they are
not likely to be taken up very often, it
is an excellent plan to scatter smoking
tobacco over the paper to guard against
moths and the buffalo bug. This is
sure preventive against the attacks Of
moths, and carpets may be safely left
down in spare rooms for a number of
years.

Brace the Nerves.

Sedatiyes and opiates won't do it. These
nervines do not make the nerves strong. and
failing to do this fall short of producing the es-
sential OF their quietude-vigor. And while in
tation such drugs may be advisable, their fire.
quent use is highly prejudical to the delicate
organism upon which they act, and in order to
renew their quoting effect increased and
dangerous doses eventually become necessary.
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters is an efficient sub
stitute for such pernicious drugs. 1t quiets the
nerves by bracing, toning strengthening them.
The connection between weakness OF the
nervous system and that of the organs of digest
ion is a strong and sympathetic link. The Bit
tiers, by imparting healthful impulse to the di-
gestive and assimilating functions, promotes
throughout the whole system vigor in which
the nerves come in for q large share. Use the

Wilson Thinks 1t So just at the Crisis OF
the Conference.
Wilson replied. He was greeted with
enthusiastic applause when he rose. He
said he was glad to meet with his party
colleagues, although he would not have
selected this particular time for caucus.
He commented upon it as an unfortunate
circumstance that at a crucial point in the
negotiations of the conferrees this week,
and at the critical stage of the conference
as well, movements had been started to
hold caucus over the heads of the con-
ferrees, so to speak. The house bill had
seemed acceptable to the country, while
the senate bill had not. He appreciated
the necessity for the party in power to
pass tariff bill. The Democracy had
been entrusted with the administration of
the government for that purpose.
But the necessity was equally impera-
tive that the bill agreed upon should be
essentially measure of tariff reform, one
that would be in fulfllment of party
pledges, not one that would put the party
on the defensive. He believed that more
than month might be well spent toward
that end. He believed that if the house
conferrees did their duty and the house
did its duty bill honorable for the house
and senate and acceptable to the party
and people would be the result. Such
result would not be brought about by any
action that would notify the senate that If
it would hold out to given date the
house would instruct its conferrees to re-
cede.
Bland spoke up with the suggestion
that the house should pass bill to put
sugar on the free list and then take up
the income tax, but as it was offered in a
humorous vein no notice was taken of it
and Livingston of Georgia proposed SUBJ
stitute for the Bynum resolution, express
ing the confidence of the house in its
conferrees, and leaving the matter entire
ly In their hands. Then followed dis
cussion of the position held by the senate
and the prospects of agreement One Of
the Louisiana members argued that
speedy action was necessary; that it was
plain the senate would not yield, and pro-
ceeded to pay high tribute to Mills as a
pioneer in tariff reform. and said that this
conspicuous tariff reformer had personal.
