FAILED TO AGREE AT
WHITE HOUSE DINNER
Conference Ended at 1880 Last Night
With Disputes Over Raw Materials
No Nearer Settlement.

Washington, D. G., JURY 22,--The
White House dinner and conference, at
which tariff conferees and the Presi.
dents closes advisers were brought to-
gether last night in the effort to settle
differences regarding the tariff bill, end.
ed at ll30 o'clock with the disputes
over raw materials no nearer ADJUST
ment than they were before the dinner
invitations were issued.
Only one question was determined be.
yond appeal and that was that the con.
9erees will have to settle their own diff
{erenees. Pains were taken, however,
TO sconyey the impression that this de-
csicq is not indicative Of any absence
OF APPRECIATION Of the Presidents eff
forts. t merely confirmed what the "El-
der statesmen" had asserted from the
first--that tariff making is trading and
the shrewdest dealer and the strongest
section is bound to get the best Of the
argument That this truism is respon.
sible for the insurgent movement in the
House and Senate and party reyots in
middle western states does not alter
the situation
Briefly stated, the representatives Of
the House and Senate practically adj
mitted chat they were unable To forecast
the outcome Senator Aldrieh spoke for
the Senate and Speaker Cannon and Re.
preventative Dwight, the republican
whip, for the House
Mr. Dwight spoke Of the insurgent
movement organized by the 'anti-free
raw-materiaP faction in the House, bnt
he was not ready to estimate the
strength of this element Representa-
tive Payne expressed the opinion that
all Of the report carrying free iron ore,
coal, hides and oil could be adopted
IN the house but he said that he had
not eanvassed the situation
Senator Aldrich was very positive in
the opinion that such report would
fail in the Senate, but he thought there
could be reductions made in The SEN
ate rates with perhaps iron ore and oil
transferred to the free list, without en-
dangering its adoption.
Apparently the President realized that
the time had not yet arrived to call Il
for d decision on the subject Of raw
materials. 1t IS stated that he did not
press the representatives Of either House
or Senate for more definite statements
of the situation in the respective |
branches Of Congress.
The customs court and the corpor.
alton tax amendments were discussed /
at length. Afost Of those present agreed

men are about Of a size and apparently
about evenly matched as FAR AZ
strength and knowledge 81 the game
goes. Both We're handicapped by the
brolliug sun which burned both consid.
eraby before the match was finished.
Hack forced the play at the start and
several times had the New York boys
shoulders to the mat, but was unable
60 hold them the instant necessary IN
pin-fall wrestling The men worked
for 20 minutes, with neither gaining
any advantage, until at the end Of 23
minutes Hackenschmidt got Grace in
full body hold ont OF which he was un-
able to wrggie and the referee awarded
the fall 10 the Bostonian.
Grace forced the action in the next
bout and got Hack in q full leg nelson
az the end Of six minutes, winning
fall. The grilling sun had told on both
men when they took their places for
Tie deciding bout and neither worked
with the vim that they showed at the
start. The bout was a repetition Of the
second and when Grace got the Boston
boy IN a full leg nelson at the end Of
seven minutes IL was all over
The preliminary bout which was BE-
tween louis Jacques and Charles Bixhy.
both Of this city, was announced to be
a handicap affair in which Jacques TO
win, must throw Bixby twice IN 30
There was nothing to It and
Bixby got the best Of his heavier oppo-
nent and pinned his shoulders 70 the
mat with a double bar hold at the end
Of six minutes.
AT the end Of the main bout Young
Hackenschmidt announced that he wish
ed TO challenge Grace for return

bet. In this challenge Haekensehmidt
stipulated that the match should not
take place in the sun. Grahe promptly
sccepted the challenge and It is expect
Cd that a match viii be arranged for
