 Washington, July 27.-Fxom the best information obtainable tonight ii appeers that the house has won the battle for free hides and oil and in creased rates on gloves and hoseiry in return for 9 surrender to the senate on lumber, coal iron ore and print paper.
 The rates on these schedules, as ten tatively arranged pending the accept anee by. both houses of the program for a reduction in the duties on man. ufactures of leather, below the rates fixed by the house follows: Oil, free; hides, free: coal, 45 cents a ton; print paper, $3.50 a ton; iron ore, 15 cents a ton lumber, rouhg, $1.5O; one side finished, 500; two sides GnizEed, 8, 5; three sides finished, which may include tongueing and growing S2. g and one half; four sides finished, $500 per 1000 feet; gloves S4OO per dozen pairs. not exceeding 14 inches in length. which is the standard length.
 On gloves exceeding Il inches, B cents per dozen is added for each inch. This rate does not apply to the schmaschen, or cheap gloves, on which the senate rate, ,$1.2 9 per dozen pairs is retained The later rate is re- duction Of the Dingley rates but. the house rates accepted of the higher grades of gloves, represent heavy in creases over existing duties; hosiery, { valued at $1 or less per dozen pairs, 7C cents as against the senate and exist ing rates of 50 cents.
 Although new oaths of secrecy were taken by every member of the confer l ence committee before the session a6- iourned, it is understood that the fore going rates represent the underseand- ing reached on all subjects that had engaged the executive attension. There seems no doubt that the house leaders will be able to put through 2 rule permitting the conferees to make reductions in the rates on leather manufactures. If there is any danger of the program failing, it is in the sen ate. MT. Aldrich talked with a num- Der of western senators today and some still oppose free hides under any circumstances, It is generally under stood, however, that the western sen ators feel that MT, Aldrich did all he could to continue the protection for the cattle industry and that the senate will adopt the provision.
