WASHINGTON. d. c., July lo.-The
proceedings Of the full tariff conference
to-day were both brief and formal, con-
sisting merely OF statement by Sena-
tor Voorhees, TO the eject that the Dem
ocratic members OF the conference had
found themselves after another effort
unable TO ind common ground to stand
upon, and had decided TO recon-
mend a report FOR gel-
eral disagreement upon the bill IS a
whole. There was ~ 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 Re-
publican. voted not 10 recede from the
Senate amendments Chairman Wilson
met Speaker Crisp and members OF the
House Committee on Rules as soon as
the conierees adjourned When the
conference adjourned Mr.. Wilson said
he would not report the disagreement
until tomorrow at noon.
A House Democratic member OF the
conference committee outlined TO the
Associated Press the following lines Of
agreement aud disagreement in the
conference, summarized by schedules,
as follows:
"Scneduls A, chemicals, oils and
paints-AgreementS on all points Of dis
pute were obtainsbe.
Schedule b, earthS, eErthenware and
glassware-AgreementS on main differ
ences were made and minor differences
could have been adjusted.
Schedule c, metals and manufactures
Of-The disagr8emeOts were wide on
ores and manufactured metals, with lit
Tie common ground for agreement
Schedule ID, wood and manufactures
oi-Agreement could have been So
cCEed.
kscaedule Z, suEar-The disagreement
~ positive and vital, and was the
main point Of difference In conference.
Schedule I, tobacco ani nanufsc-
tures-NO trouble was apparent To
reachiUr - a-rcewant
iSchedule q, agricultural products
CnA provisions. The difference were
orfan 10 adjustment, but no fnsl agree
uA, was reached on any OF them.
Schadule II, wines and other bever-
ages-A basis OF agreement has been
reached.
Schedule I. Cotton Manufactures
An agreement could have been reached,
although points Of difference still ex-
isted.
Schedule J, Flax, Hemp and JuJe-
Some differences yet existed, but an
agreement was not considered difficult.
Schedule X, Wool and Manufactures
of Wool-While some differences exist
Cd they could have been adjusted.
Schedules l., NJ aud y, silk Paper
and Sundries-OccasjOued little differ
ence.
From the foreEoIng, 10 is evident that
agreements we're possible on most OF
the questions, and that the schedules OF
disagreement, which brought about the
total disagreement, were those covering
sugar, metals, iron ore, aud coal. Tue
differences on manufactured metals re-
shifted mainly FROM that on iron ore, so
that the difference was, Ia fact, mar
rowed down TO iron ore, coal, aud
sugar.
