pected that there will be objection to this

an insistence on the House bill is all the
Instructions necessary. When the bill II

agreements were possible on most OF the
questions, but the schedules OF disagree
ment which brought about the total disa-
greement, were those covering sugar.
meats, iron ore and coal The differences
on manufactured metals resulted mainly
from that on iron ore, so the difference was
in fact practically narrowed down to iron
ore, coal and sugar.
The proceedings of the full tarin con-
ference committee to-day were both brief
and formal, consisting merely OF state
ment by Senator Voorhees, TO the effect
that the Democratic members OF the con-
ference had found themselves, after an
other effort, unable TO lind common ground
to stand upon and had decided TO recon-
mend a report for a general disagreement
upon the bill as a whole.
Senator German is quoted by a Missouri
Representative as saying to group or
Democratic Representatives, OF whom the
Missourian was one: Gentlemen, there
are two tariff measures-the Mckinley law
and the Senate bill. You can take your
choice" This is believed to be the tariff
situation here to-day.
