Appropriation Measures,

will be O fiat refusal on tie part of the
house conferrees to yield Ia the senale's
demand in whole or In part. The Le-
termination TO give this negative re-
spouse has been agreed on definitely by
the house couterrees. 1t had Leen ex-
pected that the Intense feeling OF the
last week would clear the atmosphere
and lead TO some common ground OF
agreement. but when the house con-
ferrees were met by demand to yield
in toto OH sugar, coal and iron, they
assumed an aggressive and determined
stand.
At their meeting each of the. -four
house members was asked to If
his views had changed il any way
since the former conference. 1T de-
veloped that not one of The four had
modified his views in the slightest.
They were, therefore, a unit in declin-
ing to accede TO the demand Of the four
senate conferrees, and the solid front
of such position Will be made known
to senators in toMorrow's conference.
PROCEEDING OF THE SENATE.
The Weeks work Depends Upon the
Tariff Conference Report.
WASHINGTON, July 29.-TLe pro-
ceediprs in the senate during the pres
ent week will depend largely upon the
conferrees of tho tariff bill. III they
should reach d conclusion during the
week. as everyone expects they will, a
report will be made to the senate, TINT
BODY having granted the request for
the conferen nee, aad the report will be
taken IN at the first opportunity.
Whatever the nature of the report,
there is sure 10 be more or less debate
upon it..
Even should the senate bill be ac-
cepted in lis entirety. there will be
some speeches or the part OF tarifl
leaders and possibly other senat RS,
though in this event there would he
general di- po-i'i ion to curtail them
both in length and numbers, on ac-
count of a desire which is felt in all
quarters 10 bring the session to close
at the earle t possible date. This dis
position would not be allowed to con
troll In case the report should indicate
any material con cessions to the house
Reductions Nj oan a Quarrel.
In case of reductions on coal, iror

There are also democratic senators VIII
would make strenuous opposition
material changes in the metal, woole
and cotton schedules, and the reput
licans would, in the latter event, d
found participating. Its not psooaoi
that Senator Quay will submit quietl
to any important modification of ia
metal schedule, nor that Senator Alt
rich would permit changes in tie rate
on woolens 10 be made without entel
ing vigorous protest, and the resu
would be prolongation OF the depa'
with view of forcing return TO tt
senate rates.
