to Remedy Matters.
VERBAL REPORT.
Two Hours Debate Will be
Allowed on 1t.

WASHINGTON. July 19.-The procee ed
ings of the full tariff conference yes
terday were both brief and formal
consisting merely of a statement by
Senator Voorhees, to the effect that
the Democratic mem bers of the con-
ference had found themselves, after
another effort, unable to find common
ground to stand upon and had
decided to recommend re-
port for a general disagreement
upon the bill as a whole There was
no discussion. The house Democratic
members indicated. though not by
formal vote, that they should elect to
stand by the house bill, while the
senators, Democratic and Republican,
voted not to recede from the senate
amendments.
Chairman Wilson met Speaker Crisp
and mem bers Of the house committee
on rules as soon as the conferrees adj
journed. When the conference closed
Mr. Wilson said he would not report
the disagree ment until to-day. As a
result OF the conference between Mr..
Wilson and the spea ker, the commit
tee on rules is considering the desira-
bility of a special rule to operate
when the tariff disagreement Is re-
ported.
One of the house conferrees ex-
planned the plan of procedure as out
lined at a meeting of Democratic con-
ferrees held early in the day as fol-
lows:
1.-The report will be a disagreement
in toto. 1t will be very brief and will
not go into detail to what ques-
tiOns the senate and house might have
come together on The report is ex-
pected to be the first business taken
up by the house when it assemblies
to-day at noon. This, Of course,
cannot be made certain until the Re-
publican conferrees give their assent.
1t is in their power to cause delay,
but such action IS not anticipated
Beyond the point of making the
brief report of disagreement the
conferrees profess not to know what
the house or senate will do One of
the house conferrees said that the
three items of sugar, iron ore and
coal were the points that had forced
the total disagreement Woolens,
cottons, lead ore and some other
things had been open to difference,
yet it was hoped that these could
have been reconeiIed, said the con-
ferree. if sugar, coal and iron had not
stood in the way.
