Washington, July 1S-When the tariff conference
committee took its daily recess to-day the situa-
ton Of yesterday In the committee remained vr-
tualy without change as respects the sugar sched-
ue which is the chief bone OF contention. VI
course there other important matters SUI IN
controversy, as well other matters whlch 1al!
within the purview of nominal agreements but
all of which were more or less dependent on the
dsposition Of the main question. The committee
busted itself with a number OF these matters ana
managed to dispose Of them at least In a tentative
way but this did not relieve the stress OF the sltua-
tion Mutterings against the Senate sugar schedule
were loud enough yesterday to penetrate the walls
of the conference-room: to-day they had Increased
in volume and strength. Among members OF the
House of Representatives, irrespective OF party
the feeling was intense, and seemed to be nearly
unanimous. Mr. Steele. Of Indiana, Repuohcan
member Of the Ways and Means Committee. said:
IF the conferrees give us anything except the
House schedule. we will defeat it."
Mr. Bailey. the Democratic leader; Colonel Liv-
ingston of Georgia, and others said: "As between
the Senate and House schedules. the Democrats
will vote against the former and in favor OF the
latter" In fact, the minority in the House. so
far as 1t is Democratic. appeared to be OF that
disposition.
~ would like to know something about the dis
position OF the Senate" remarked one OF the House
conferrees this afternoon. That body was In ex-
ecutiye session. but Senator Jones' OF Arkansas,
was seen by Tribune correspondent In strong
terms he confirmed as TO the Democratic members
Of the Senate what has already been said about
the Democrats in the House of Representatives.
Among other things ne said:
"If an opportunity TO do so is given, nave no
