WASHINGTON, July ~. = Speaker
Crisp, who IL back in the house after
four days absence, says there will be no
report from the tariff conference COM
nlittee during the day. 1t cannot be
learned that any definite plan of action
las been outlined by, The house Demo-
cratic readers, yet ii is evidently their
Impression that it 'night prove inexpe-
dent to carry ont the plan of reporting
total disagreement, and asking for
instructions. It was pointed out that
such a report would only emphasize
the character of the difference and that
should the senate and house instruct
their conferees to stand ~ their respec-
tive positions. it would precipitate
deadlock. The advice of the house
leaders was therefore in line with that
which a Judge some times gives to
disagreeing jury
= To Go Back and Try Again.
1t is believed also that one of the re-
suits Of the speakers return was to
stiffen the determination of the house
conferees, and 10 keep the contest in
conference. 1t was stated, however,
that with the conferees in session, the
situation might change at any moment
and one of Mr.. Crisp's closest advisers
said the report would probably come in
! the morning.
- 1t is reported that difference exists
as to the scope of the report of disagree
ment. The house conferees desire to
make a partial report of such agree
ments as are possible, and ask for in
structions on the items subject to dis
agreement. The senate conferees have
stood for an agreement in toto or dis
agreement in toto. This has made it
impossible for the house conferees to
get before the house such special ques-
tions of disagreement as they desired
instructions upon.
The Democratic. conferees held a
brief session and adjourned before -
o'clock. They made another effort to
reach an agreement, but it proved in
effectual and the meeting adjourned
with the understanding that the full
force of the committee, which is to le-
gin at o'clock, would report disa-
greement.
The Republican members of the COM
mittee will make no opposition to this
course.
Disagreement in Toto.
The report will lie a disagreement in
toto IL will bs Very brief aud will not
60 into any details as to what questions
the senate and house may have come
together on. The report is expected to
be the fist business taken up by the
house when it assemblies at noon. This,
of course, cannot be made certain until
the Republican conferees give their as
sent. 1t is in their power to cause de-
lay, but such action is not anticipated.
Beyond the point of making the brief
report of disagreement in toto the con-
ferees profess not to know what the
house or senate will do. One of the
house conferees said that the three items
of sugar, iron ore and coal, were the
points that had forced the total dis
agreement. Woolens, cottons, lead ore
and some other things had teen open to
difference. yet it was hoped that these
could have been reconciled, said the
conferee, if sugar, coal and iron had
not stood in the way. =
