senator Plat, OF New York. who has
been absent most o. the time since the
bill went into conference, returned
and was in close conference much OF
the day with senator Quay.
At one time during the afternoon
the senate and house conferes sepa.

ways and means committee room. 1t
was generally believed that this action
on the part of the house men was for
the purpose of deciding upon a line OF
policy on sugar, but they declined to
give out any Information.
Contrary to published reports it is
positively asserted that the sugar
schedule has not been agreed upon and

ing that they shall be held open.
Nothing will be finally closed so far
as the matters OF Importance are con-
cerned until all have been decided IN
on and the conferees are ready 20 come
to a complete agreement.
II Is believed that the wool schedule
which occupied the attention of the
confcrees more or less Monday and
Tuesday, can now be settled when
ever other matters have reached a
stage for final adjustment The sen.
ate conferees are ready TO compromise
the differences on first and second

on third class woods has been
suggested by house mem bers of the
conference, concerning which they ex.
press the hope that il will he satisfac-
tory TO both the wool growers and the
carpet manufacturers, but this is not
assured. This compromise proposition
looks TO fixing rate of cents a pound
on all wool OF value less than 10
cents "a pound; of cents on wool
valued at more than 10 and
less than - cents pound, and of S
cen Is on that above 10 cents a pound

the carpet manufacturers, and both
sides took the matter under dvise-
ment Senator Pcnrose, representing
the carpet men. telegraphed for some

these items shall go back on the dutia-
