WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-When the tariff
cOnferrses adjourned AT 1 o'clock for
their usual recess the air was full of ru-
mors Of all kinds, among them being
statements that an agreement would be
reached at the afternoon session. The
cOnferrees all declined to say anything.
There seems u determination on the part
of the senate 10 force decision one way
or the other during the day
Senator Jones, of the senate cOnferrees
on the tariff bill, said at 2:25 today that
he thought the tariff conferrees would
be able to report an agreement tomor-
row.
Chairman Wilson and Representative
Montgomery Joined Speaker Crisp in his
private Office after the recess of the con-
ferrees The report was soon circulated
among members of the house, and gen
orally credted, that an agreement would
be reached today. Tins could not be
positively confirmed, however, from any
of the conferrees. One of them SAID
that there was sure to be bill, but he
would not say how soon.
Chairman Wilson. when asked as to
the report said with diplomacy, that he
hoped it might be true. Being asked
directly if it was true, he said: mo. L
think not"
He was evidently in a hopeful mood,
however.
Out of the many conflicting reports at
the noon recess of the conference It be-
came evident and was so stated by those
most intimate with the cOnferrees that
an agreement was very near at hand and
might be reached tomorrow
Representative Strauss. of New York,
who is closely associated with Mr.
Wilson, gave it as his opinion that there
would b a com plete agreement by Sat
urddy at least.
Senator smith of New Jersey, who was
in consultation with the senate confer
rees, Sd d that he expected the full com
miItee would be called together tOmor-
row and bill reported He said he
could give no details except to say that
the compromise sugar schedule an
nounced the last Of the week would be
part of the agreement

One report said that as between coal
and iron ore, that it had been agreed
that coal was TO be free and iron ore
fixed At forty cents as in the senate bill.
Q Ter report twisted this around the
other nay, and put a sliding duty on
The latest information is that the de-
cision OF the conference to make coal
free and iron ore dutiable has been
restored and that coal will be
dutiable aud iron free. The reason
for the conflict in these reports is that
there have been three changes during
the day and it IS understood
that the talk about the influence
of the Nova Scotia coal com
pauy was the controlling factor in
causing the decision in favor Of the coal
duty. 1t is understood. however, that tie
matter has not been absolutely liked yet
and that another reversal is not beyond
the range Of possibility.
