nAbHh6TOHI ~, jury 4o'-4uo pro-
coedings Of the full tariff conference to.
day were both brief and formal, consist
ing merely OF a statement made by Son.
ator Voorhees, to the effect that tho
Democratic members OF the conference
had found themselves after another Of
fort unable to find common ground to
stand upon, and had decided to recon- :
mend report for general Disagree
mont upon the bill as whole. There
was no discussion. Tho house Demo-
cratic members indicated, though not
by a formal vote, that they should elect
TO stand by the house bill, while the
senators, Democratic and Republican,
voted not to recede from the senate
amondmeuts. Chairman Wilson mot
Speaker Crisp and members Of tho
house committee on rules as soon as the
conference adjourned. When the con-
ference adjourned Mr.. Wilson said he
would not report the disagreement until
tomorrow al noon.
Rx-sPaAKgR REEDS POINT.
Tho statement by Representative
Baker, OF New Hampshire, that he had
been erroneously reported by the tellcrs
as present aud not voting, the truth be-
ing that he was not present, moved Mr..
Reed to say a word for the system OF
quorum counting in tho Fifty-Hrst Con-
gross wherein, ho said, out OF hundreds
OF opportunities but two mistakes had
occurred. Speaker Crisp admitted the
possibility OF errors under any system,
but pointed out that the superiority
claimed for the present rule was that it
removed any suspicion Of internal un-
fairness.
THE FUTURE PROGRAMME
The programme for handling the
tariff disagreement when 1t is reported
to tho house tomorrow was substan-
tally agreed on this afternoon. Mr..
Wilson will mako brief verbal report
az sooa as the house convones. Mr..
Catchings, from the committee on rules,
theroupon, will present special rule
allowing two hours for debate, at the
end Of which time q vote will be taken
on again sending tho bill to conference.
1t is expected that there will be objec'
ton to this rule. Mt. Reed says he I'D.
vised full debate, yet he has no obiec-
ton to limiting ITO two hours.
Mr.. Wilson and Mr.. Reed will each
control one hour. It is EXPECTED that
Mr. Wilson will mako tho main state
ment Of tho difficulties which now con.
front the bill, although his strength
may not permit him to mako q long
speech.
No purpose has been developed as
vet to move special instructions to tho
committee, as 1t Is said an insistence on
the house bill ia all the instructions
necessary. When the bill Is again sent
to conference thore will b0 no change in
the personnel OF tho house conforces.
