BARCELONA IN
 OPEN REVOLT

Barcelona. July 27.-A military cap tain, three gendarmes and eight strik- CTS were killed here this afternoon in a clash between the troops and rioting strikers, and more than 50 persons seriously injured. The city is in open revolt and more bloodshed is expected before night.
 Hundreds of strikers and sympath- izers were in possession of a street which the troops attempted to clear. A fierce fight was started at once. The troops finally had to fire volley after volley into the rioters before they gave way. The commander of the troops has demanded a battery of artillery and announces that he will suppress future outbreaks at terrible loss.

BETTER FEELING
 AMONG CONFEREES
Looks As If Democrats Might Be Called Into
 Meeting Tomorrow.
REPORT READY THURSDAY
Especial from United Press.'

Especial from United Press.)
 Washington, July 27.-With much better feeling prevailing among the tariff ccnferees and the insurgent Sem ators today, it is now hoped that the tariff conference report may be put in such shape that it will be possible to call the Democratic conferees into meeting tomorrow with the expecta- tion of presenting the whole subject to the House when it meets Thursday.
 1t is now practically certain that the compromise proposition on the hides and leather schedule will be adopted. The House confereeS had a meeting today and agreed to adopt free hides with the material reduction proposed by the Senate in manufactured leather goods. The western Senator's, who yesterday resolved that they would not accept free hides unless free lea ther goods were with them, are now disposed to be more compromising, and will probably finally yield.
 Boots and shoes are to be reduced to ten per cent instead of 25 per cent, the present law. Sole and band lea ther is to be reduced to five per cent instead of the existing rate of 20 per cent. A preliminary canvass indicates that the House will agree to permit the conferees to write into the bill than those in the bill as passed by either House.
 Of the Progressive Republicans in the Senate who hold against the pass age of the bill in that body, it is said today that Senators Beveridge,o Bur kett, Crawford and Brown will vote for the conference report. Senator. Root of New York, who has just re- turned from a brief vacation, predicts that the conference report will go through the Senate.
 Gloves and hosiery are still the sub- ject of the conference committee and there are one or two minor matters that are to be settled. A conference will be held this afternoon at which it is hoped that all the differences may he settled
