WASHINGTON, July 26.-Republican
tactics prevented the Democrats of the
senate from putting into effect today
the programme arranged in caucus yes
terday. They did not succeed i'm get

they had hoped 10 do, but they cleared
the way so far as they were able, hav-

draw their motions for the instruction
of the conferees, and by voting down
Senator HIPS motion with the aid of
the Republicans. But for the fact that
the Republican side of the chamber
took up Mr.. Villas idea the bill
would have been referred back
before the close of the days
session. The Democrats are not SO
much worried over the motion as
put by Senator Washburn to instruct
the senate conferees to recede from; the

situation is precarious, and it Is very
evident from their manner that they
will be glad to have the crisis passed.
