THE TARIFF CONFERENCE.

Washington. July lo.--Thc conterees on
the tarir bill suspended their labors long
enough today to attend the funeral cere-
monies conducted over the remains OF the
late Senator Harris. but resolved before
dispensing for this purpose 10 reassemble
Immediately alter the conclusion of the
otseluies and to conduct their work not
only tonight, but all day tomorrow.
The decision to sit on Sunday was not
reached without some hesitation. but was
decided upon as necessary TO expedite the
reporting of the bin.
While the major portion OF the confer
ence SO far has been given to senate
changes about which there are compare
lively little dispute there has been more
or less discussion of some OF the more
difficult problems and one OF these is the
form of the reciprocity provision of the
bill. The advice OF the president has been
sought upon this question and it is under
stood that he has expressed himself as
favoring a policy allowing considerable
latitude and based upon liberal principles

thorty TO assure foreign countries many
articles covered will be retained on the
free list for five years. The house men,
bcrs have not, however. signi6ed their ac-
ceptauco If this view.
OF the senate amendments passed upon,
the house representatives have conceded
about three fourths. This course they find
necessary because of the fact that the bill
was considered so much more deliberately
by the senate than by the house, They
say the house itself would have made many
amendments If more time had been given.
The conference expressed confidence to-
day Of being able to call in the democratic
members by Tuesday next. They stated
that they were succeeding better than they
had hoped to do In settling their differ
ences. The democratic members OF the
conference say that whether they would
demand much time in committee when
called In, will depend upon what the re
puhlcans do with the amendments made
in the senate upon the suggestion of dem
ocrats. If they find these to have been
abandoned they will ask for explanations.
