TARIFF CONSULTATION.

1ne democrats, there was a disposition tt
allow the Republicans to have their owl
way, and make report at once, 80 tn,
debate in the lower branch of congress-
could proceed this afternoon.
Before the full committee met the Re
publican members held an hours consul.
tation in the appropriations committee
room, at which they affixed their sigma.
lures to the conference report. When
the bill was submitted to the Democrats,
the Republicans said they would report
the bill today. The Democrats we're given
an opportunity to sign the conference re
port, and they withdrew for consultation
as to whether they would sign or not.
THE SCHEDULE REVISED.
Lead ore remains at IL cents a pound.
Lead bullion and pig lead 21a cents a
pound.
The Republican conferees today made
public statement concerning the CON
ference report, in which they reviewed the
changes made. OF sugar this statement
says, y,
"Ihe house differential between raw and
refined sugars and the general features of
the house schedule are preserved, and the
senate amendments increasing the differ.
enti to one.ffth, and providing for re.
ductlon OF one-tenth of the duty on raw
sugars, not above 76 degrees, which would
have given duty of 1.39 on SO degree
sugar, and only 1,26 on 81 degree sugar,
are not adopted. In Difference to the
wishes of those interested in the sugar
beet production, that the senate rate of
l.95 on refined sugar, might be retained,
as an increased encouragement to this
industry the duty on raw sugars is in.
creased seven and one-half hundredths,
80 as to make the increase on them the
same as the increase on refined sugar, and
thus leave differeptial between raw
sugar and refined the same as in the house
bill.
And to meet the objection which has
been urged, that the house rates on low
grade sugar show higher ad valorem
than those on high grades, the duty on rs
degree sugars are reduced five hundredths
of one cent, and then the duty per degree
is increased regularly from three hun
dredths las proposed by the house bill)
to three and half hundredths, in order
to raise the duty on raw sugars, the same
as on refined. By this arrangement the
duty on raw sugars of 100 degree purity
is raised from 1.75 (as proposed originally
by the house) to 1929, and the duty on
refined sugar is raised from 1878 las
proposed originally by the house) to 1856,
thus giving the same differential of twelve
and half hundredths, between raw and
refined sugar at this point, as originally
given by the house. AS this arrangement
will increase the revenue over 100000,
and at the same time give additional en-
,ouragement to the production of sugar
in this country, it is to be desirable
POSSIBLE DEFEAT.
Some opponents of the tariff bill made
. hasty canvass of the senate during an
executive session today, and expressed
ihe opinion that it was possible to defeat
he conference report by one majority, if
senator is appointed to the Tennessee
7acancy. To secure this, however, all
Democrats, including McEnery, who voted
or the bill, and those who refused to vote
ither way, and all Silver Republicans,
Who voted for the bill, would be necessary,
70 that the prospects are against The sue
1888 of such move.

rec list by the senate, are restored to the

enths of one cent. Tin plates are
