WASHINGTON, d. c., July 2s.-The
tariff situation has kept pace to-day
with the intensity OF the heat, which
for the 6rst time this year touched the
100 point. There have been tariff con-
ferences at the White House through
out the day; tariff conferences OF the
Senate and House conierees; tarin con-
ferences OF the Democratic House con-
ferees, and, finally, an effort for
House tariff caucus 90 Tuesday to con-
slider some means OF solving the tariff
problem. Out Of it all has come no
exact aud definite programme by which
the time Of the passage OF the tariff bill
or its form can be predicted.
The President has not weakened In
the slightest in his attitude towards the
Senate tariff bill. He opposes aud rep
robates il now just as strongly as he did
when he wrote the Wilson letter. He
still insists that It must be changed so
as TO fluff the Democratic pledges and
10 remove
THE SUSPICION OF JOBBEKI
and trust influence from the sugar
schedule.
This statement Is made on the author
fly Of member Of the House who had
4 long talk with the President to-day.
This member got the impression that
the President would not hesitate 10 veto
the Senate bill n it came TO him as II
now Is. accompanying the veto with q
ringing message explaining his action
10 the country and calling the DemOc-
racy 10 renew the fight for genuine
tariff reform and for the determination
y az trusts and mOnOpOlies that have the
f10wer TO influence Congressional action
for their own benefit The House
leaders, Crisp, Wilson. Cstchings, Tur-
ner and the rest are just as trm and de-
-..ermio sd ia their opposition 20 the Sen
ne bill as is the President.
= President Cleveland's great interest
"a the tariff struggle was shown early In
The day BY the calls Of Chairman Wilson
7Snd Representative Catchings, the lat
ter being Speaker Crisp's associate on
the Committee on Rules. The PreSi-
dents callers were generally careful! TO
refrain from any intimstiOu OF the
POLICY OF THE ADMINISTRATION.
The current Of opinion in Congress
iona circles seemed 20 be that the only
solution TO ths problem was in accept
ing the Senate bill substantially as II
conlerees have shown dis
position 10 yield. This current
of feeling found expression late in .he
day in petition, circulated by Mr..
Springer, requesting Mr.. Holman, chair
man OF the Democratic House caucus,
10 call a caucus on Tuesday afternoon
next unless the tariff cOniereeS had
reached an agreement by that time.
This was the lrst open expression to-
ward

sential points Of difference on sugar,

matum which was that the senate bill,

ecutive session for an hour. MIR. Will
