expected on the motives of the Senate
| conferrees.
While Mr.. Wilson was speaking the
| word was passed around among MEM
bers that the conference in the Speakers
room had resulted in decisive action, and
that Speaker Crisp himself would move
that the House recede and accept the
Senate bill
At first the Information was so start
ling that 1t was doubted but as member
after member heard 1t and made inquiry
the opinion became general among the
best informed men in the House that
the report was correct, although 1t could
not be positively verified from Mr.. Crisp
or the conferrees.
Mr.. Wilson spok of the fight made by
the House conferrees for specific duty
on sugar, on the grounr that under an
ad valorem system 1t would be impos-
sible to tell, on account of the invoice
methods, the exact advantage which
would accrue to the Sugar Trust.
He made the remarkable statement
that he had been credibly informed and
believed that the Sugar Trust had, an
ticipating the enactment of the Senate
worth Of raw sugar. II this were true,
he said, the profits accruing to the trust
from this investment in advance of the
enactment of the Senate schedule would
be at least s40,0O0,0OO.
Mr.. Wilson also pointed out at length
the embarrassment attending the efforts
to adjust the coal and iron schedules.
1.-THE great battle" said Mr.. Wilson,
warming up to his subject, sis between
the American people and the uSgar
Trust. 1t is a battle in which the Trust
has taken the people by the throat and
1t will never end until we throw of the
grip
There was enthusiastic applause at
this. Mr.. Wilson proceeded to state
that the House conferrees had been
willing to concede almost everything,
except those vital items of sugar. iron
and coal: that the Senate conferrees
had also been willing to concede much
and held much the same views, but
were apparently dominated by the
knowledge that il they conceded what
they themselves were willing to concede
the bill could not pass and the agree
ment would be useless.
MIR. wilson closed at ll.6 o'clock, hav-
ing talked just an hour. 1t was under
stood, however, that he had not yielded
the floor permanently, but would resume
later. after his conference associates,
Messrs. Montgomery, !IcMillin and Tur-
ner, had corroborated his statement as
to details. Mr.. Montgomery then took
the floor and substantiated what Mr..
Wilson had said as to the details of the
conference.
Speaker Crisp followed Mr.. Montgom-
cry. He spoke with much spirit and
earnestness, and soon the caucus was In
a tumult of enthusiasm, round after
round of applause greeting his utter
ances. He spoke of the critical condition
and of the apparent need to accept the
Senate bill and then, If need be, to in
troduce separate bills for free sugar,
free iron and free coal.

Thus spoke Mayor Gilroy OF the politi-

from nominating an opposition ticket.
They must all join together and give
earnest support to the Democratic can

The Mayor addressed his warning to
machine men and anti-snappers alike.
for he Is well aware thar some machine
men are not disposed to harmonize with
the ants. They want TO lead. The
others must follow. they say. Mayor
Gilroy Is talking to his resolution inviting
Democrats to get together at the prima-

harmony as long as there Is hostile feel
ing in either camp.
Mayor Gilroy came directly from Sara

the machine leaders, and by their adj

for harmony until his return. What
he said is principally for the benefit OF
