A FIRE FROM THE REAR
Tariff Conferees Making Too
Slow Progress.
House Democrats Will Hold q
Caucus.
Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson
Not Consulted.
Tho Move Regarded as Presaging =
Backdewn From the House Posi-
tion-An Agreement the
Tariff in Sight.


By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Aug. GA house Dem.
ocratio caucus on the tariff is likely to
be held at p. m. tomorrow. The petit
tion for the call was circulated late to.
day, as = result OF the reports that the
conferees were making little progress.
Representative Bynum of the ways and
means committee and other prominent
members circulated the petition and se-
cured many signatures.
Within 15 minutes from the time the
petition was first circulated 90 members
had signed and the caucus became z
certainty. Members who had not
wanted to sign last week were now anx-
ious to do so. The petition requests
Chairman Holman to call the caucus for
8 O'Clock to consider whist action, il
any, should be taken, in order to aecure
the early passage of tariff bill. This
petition is not the one formerly circu-
lated BY Representative Springer, al
though the latter is interested in the
new move.
Intense feeling was developed as soon
ss the caucus began. Members gath
cred in the lobbies and talked excitedly
of and against the caucus. Represents
tives Strauss. Warner and others. friend
ly to the administration, denounced il
as a fire in the rear.
Neither Speaker Crisp nor Chairman
Wilson had been consulted as to tho
caueuD, and it waarecognized 90 directly
in opposition to their wishes.

ciate Of Speaker Crisp on the committee

doreed by the committee on rules or by
the conferees. 1t is evidently a move
against the house conferees. Members
of the rules committee will probably
enter the caucus, but l expect the con-
tereee will remain away, in view OF the
fact that the reverse action by the eau
Gus would be equivalent to q vote of
want OF confidence -
Mr.. Strauss a close friend of Mr.. Will.
son, expressed the opinion that the eau
Gus would prove boomerang. He be-
lieved Mr.. Wilson and the other con-
ferees and their friends would attend
the caucus and attempt to carry it.
With such as Crisp, Wilson, Bourke
! Cochran and others urging loyalty to
the house conferees, Mr.. Strauss did not
think an antagonistic resolution would
pass. Mr.. Strauss said also that he ex-
pected the caucus would bring out some
startling conference secrets which would
insure the conferees support from the
house.
Messrs. Springer and Bynum make NO
concealment of the fact that the caucus
is for the purpose OF ending the contest
by accepting the senate bill. In this
connection they quote statement made
to them by Senator Mills to the effect
that further house resistance meant the
killing of all tariff legislation.

LEAGUE OF PRESS CLUBS.
Meeting of thu Board OF Governors n,
New York.

Meeting of ths Board OF Governors Mt
New York.
New York, Aug. 6.-The officers of
the international Lsague of Press clubs,
comprising its board of governors, as
well, held brief meeting in this city
today. 1t was the fret meeting of the
officials since their election at the
leagues convention in Atlanta several
months ago. and was called chiefly for
organization purposes. Hon. Clarke
Howell of the Atlanta Constitution and
pres,dent OF the league, presided. 1t
was stated by Secretary Vought of the
Buffalo Courier that offers of a site for
the home of aged journalists would be
made bv Georgia, New Jersey, Pennsyl-
vanis, New York and several other
states as soon as the league is ready to
receive them. 1t was decided it would
be better to form an organization within
the league to arrange for its building
and thus relieve the officers and board
of governors from tho detail work. The
chair was authorized to appoint COM
mittee for this purpose. A plan Of as
surance in connection with the league
was left to a committee also. A COM
mittee on arrangements for the next
annual meeting OF the league in Phila-
delphis and one on finance were author
lied. after which the meeting adjourned,
to meet at the call of the chair.

AN AGREEMENT IN SIGHT.

Better Feeling Among the Confereess
The Caucus Deprecated.
WASHINGTON, Aug. 6.-The Democrats
ic tariff conferees today resumed work,
trying to reach an agreement. At IL
o'clock no progress had been made.
Secretary Carlisle has recently been
called into frequent consultation. Sat-
urday night he made certain suggestions
concerning the administrative features
OF the proposed compromise, and it ia
understood that the conference has been
considering their bearing upon the
questions at issue. The coal and iron
ore questions have been taken up. 1t is
understood the senate conlerees have
indicated their willingness to make q
concession as to the time the duty shall
continue, but not to lessen the amount.
The house conferees are understood to be
holding out for the terms OF the house
bill. The Louisiana senators are de-
manding the continuation OF at least
part OF the sugar bounty for the present
year. There is increased talk OF pass
ing free sugar bill in case of the failure
of the tariff bill, which lie probably in
tended largely to bring the Louisiana
senators into line.
w u6u tub CUuioIoob tOOA b ISCtee lOf
lunch the house conferees seemed to
think an agreement was in sight. The
senate conierees and those senators with
whom they advise and consult seemed
to think that the prospect was not SO
bright. and that an ultimate Disagree
ment would be reported. 1t was also
stated that within the next two days
report OF either agreement or disagree
ment rnilet hs made
Coal and iron ore were the articles in
dispute today. The contest is very
stubbornly made on both sides.
When the Democratic conference sd.
journed for the day, there seemed to be
better feeling among the conferees
than at the close of the previous eos
sons. Members from both houses an
nounced that the committee had been
working over the schedules and that
progress was being made, but they did
not indicate when repert would be
reached. though some of the coniereea
expressed the opinion that an agree
ment was in sight. For considerable
portion OF the day the sens tors we're not

stated that no significance was to be at
tached to that fact, as they we're work.

eenators occasionally repaired to the
committee room OF Senator Vest and
sometimes were in consultation with the
Democratic managers in the room OF the
committee on appropriations.
Considerable surprise was expreseed

IT ON TAMMANY MONEY?
Milhollandites Are Working Hard
to Defeat Reformera
Counties Pushing Ahead and Making
n Winning Fight.

The leaders OF the independent move
ment have become convinced that II they
wish to accomplish the overthrow OF
Tammany Hall they must do It without
the aid OF the Milholland- Platt-Reid com
binatlon. The Plat boilers have de-
clared their intention to run n straight
tick et. That is exactly what the Tam
many campaign managers might have
advised Plat and Milholland to do.
BY preventing fusion OF the factions
opposed to them. Tammany Will
strengthen It's position, and 1t can afford
to pay handsomely for immunity from
united attack. which would mean It's
downfall.
1t is noteworthy In this connection that
Milholland is supplied with plenty or
cash to carry out his design.
Mr.. Plat was always a collector OF
political assessments, and never famous
as a contributor. Mr.. Reid was never
more than IA liberal adviser. and their
followers admit that they are with them

where Milholland gets the slnews OF war
