Y. washington. D. G., Aug. with the
sadI salih con1erees facing threatened de.
alleged "jckers'' in the hide and laath.
OF compromise, IL was decided th,s
a,,el a..s'i iooh 70 re-assemble the confer

pairing an official explanation The con
ferees will meet late TODAY
IL is understood the reassemhlin, ~
Ghe conference was the result Of q eon.
ference between the president and
senator Aldrich, although 1t was stat
ed at the White house that the nras,.
aent mad had no part in their recon.
Vening. The action of the western Re.
pupiican senator's. aided by the Demo.
| cracic members, in compelling the
| reading OF the conference report ID
luii, enabled the supporters of ths
conference report to take a new poll
OF the senate. Much to their siyprisu
tney found their previous canyasscs
were Valueless. There seemed to be a
IsVol. among Westerners on account OF
the phraseology that had been adopted
ny the conferees. in adjusting the d!ss-
4 Ierences IN the hide and leather nara
graph. The language OF the conferences
report imposing duty of 10 per cent
On boots and shoes follows:
Ihat boots and shoes, the upner
leatner OF which is made wholly or in
chief value from such hides as are ad.
mltted free Of duty, shall paw a duty
Oh lO per cent ad yalorem."
Inc senators from the cattle states
assert that there are no shoes OF that
description used in the United States
and that the reduction therefore Ia
Valueless as all other shoes and leath
er are made dutiable at 15 per cent.
Progrcsslves Ready For FIGHT.
) The indications are today that the
, progressive senators will make hard
er hght against the adoption of the
i tariff conference report than thew
would against the passage of the AL
: drlch bill. They have been puttino in
r the time since the house concluded its
3 tariff labors Saturday night going
/ shrough the report for jokers, and have
found several new objections in addi-
e tlon to the alleged spoilation of the
e lumber and leather schedules.
!, DolIiver to Speak.
As whole the progressive senator's
;. are more concerned about the princi-
: pie at stake than they are about de-
. feating the report, Some OF them ha-
: lleye that the court is packed
. against them, SO that they will not
: accomplish immediate practical re-
= suits. But some great speeches are an
a ticlpated, nevertheless. Senator Dolli-
v yer, 1t is said, is preparing to make a
l speech that will be a greater effort
than the notable one he made on the
cotton schedule when the bill was In
=. the committee Of the whole. Senator
,r Cummins Is expected to make an at.
- tack on the metal schedules: Senator
- Clapp is down for new attack on the
20 corporation tax in its amended form
., with holding companies not taxed
% Senator Nelson is going after the lum
II ber schedule; Senator La Toilette has

70 vote against the report. These sever
!, have been working today on Craw
ford, Brown and Burkett to get then
to stand firm. Crawford, however. /.
likely to vote for the bill The othel
