 Philippine Goods.
 An amendment was adopted yesterday providing that goods manufactured in the Philippines must be wholly of in- gredients grown or produced in the islands in order to be admitted free to the United States. The President took the position that this amendment would stifie manufacture in the islands. Gen. Clar- ence K. Edwards, chief of the bureau of insular affairs, called on several of the conferees and urged that an amendment be adopted providing for free admission when not more than 20 per cent of such goods were composed of foreign material The suggestion was adopted.
 Steps were taken toward the final dis position of the wood pulp and print paper schedule, although it is understood no rates were definitely fixed Representa- tive Mann of Illinois, who was chairman of the special House committee appointed to make & thorough study of the print paper situation, was called in to explain the retaliatory provisions which he draft ed The purpose of this provision Is to obtain unrestrained exportation of wood pulp from Canada to the United States. 1t has been unofficially reported that d duty of 8. 75 ton will be agreed to on print paper, but Mr. Mann, after coming from the conference room, said:
 T will not vote for the conference re- port if it provides for duty on print paper that is above $3 a ton. l dont t know whether I shall vote for or against the report if it provides for a duty as high as that"

HIDES ID BE PUT

 Boots and Shoes.
TRUMP CARD IN RESERVE

Washington, July 26.-Hides will be put on the free list if boots and shoes and other manufactures of leather are reduced below the rates fixed by the House bill Unless the advocates of free hides are able to carry out this bargain the whole programme Is to be called off.
 decision to this effect was reached by the tariff conferees today.
 The conferees adjourned tonight un- til Il a. m. tomorrow, but the House members will assemble half an hour earlier in order that they may lay their plans for executing their part of the agreement It Is expected that they will have a report from the House leaders as to the possibilities of passing a rule conferring Jurisdiction upon them to agree to lower rates on leather than those named in the House bill.
 Senator Aldrich has informed sena tors from the northwestern states that he will not consent to the abolition of the duty on hides unless there is material cut in the rates on boots and shoes and other leather goods. In no other way, he said can he get the votes necessary for the adoption of the report in the Senate if 1t carries free hides. Senators from cattle raising states have insisted that the only way consumers can get any benefits from the removal of thel protection on hides will be by correspondi reductions in the duties on boots and shoes and harness. The Rhode Island senator's views coincide with this statement.

Latest Programme.

The programme on which the confereeS are working is as folloNs
 Hides, free. as provided by the House against the Senate rate of 15 per cent ad valorem.
 Sole leather, per cent, the same as in the House bill, as against the Senate rate of 15 per cent.
 Dressed upper leather, 7& per cent, as against Is per cent in both the House and Senate bills.
 Boots and shoes, 10 per cent, as against 15 in the House bill and 20 per cent in the Senate bill.
 Saddlery and harness, 20 per cent, as against 35 per cent in the House bill and 40 per cent in the Senate bill.
 According to Senator Warren the story that beef packers are engaging extensive ly in the tanning business and will be the principal beneficiares of duty on hides has been used by the free hides lobby" in manufacturing sentiment against the protection asked by the cattle industry. He submitted figures to Senator Aldrich to be used in refuting this argument. MT. Warren declared that the three larg- est packers in the United States annually tan 1868, 600 hides, which he said is only per cent of the entire domestic pro- duction.
 Chances for Passage.
 Sena tors who were entrusted with the task of canvassing the Senate report de- clare that it would be impossible to adopt a report providing for free hides. These senators conferred with some of the House leaders and were informed that under present conditions 1t is just as impossible to pass a report through the House with out free hides.
 According to the leaders the plan Is to complete the conference report before pre- senting a rule to the House providing for the reduction of the shoe and leather duties below the house rates.
 It is also desired that Representative Payne shall have ample opportunity tf prepare an exhaustive statement whcl will be presented to the House with tho

 The report, it is said then will be presented to President Taft with the statement that the conferees had not
 been able to muster sufficient votes to
 assure it's adoption and it would de- volve upon the President to secure the necessary support of the programme.
 In the event of failure, according to promoters of this suggestion, the con- ferees would submit a report placing
 a small duty on hides and the House rates on leather. The President would be asked to get necessary votes in tn c House to insure the passage of such a programme by that body.
 Obnoxious as such a plan would be to most of the conferees, it is said to have been suggested in all serious.

 sort to such tactics, however, for all of them realize that the criticisms
 usually heaped upon members who op- pose the administration view, make
 men hesitate to combat the Presidents will. On that account it Is generally believed that the compromise giving cheap rates on shoes and other manu- factures of leather in return for free hides will be adopted.
