& Washington. July 24.-There was
every Indication at the beginning of
today's session of the tariff conferees
that the conference was nearing the
end Most of the conferees expressed
confidence that the work practically
would be concluded before the end of
the day. There was. however, a great
dea. to be attended to. and in adj
djtion some of the most important
items remained unsettled. Hides We're
today. as Yesterday the most obstruc-
five of all the subjects and when the
conferees retired behind closed doors
they were still undetermined as 70
what should be done. Most OF the
conferees expressed the opinion that
compromise would be reached and
the figures of this compromise would
range from TO 10 per cent.
fIInouestionably the president with
the house behind him. has the better
Of the situation. but there Is real anN-
7iety over the result in the senate IN
case their demand is acceeded to,
with coal, iron ore and lumber so
adjusted as to satisfy the conflicting
interests, the advocares of a stiff duty
on hides would be weakened, but they
are proportionately much stronger In
the senate than in the house, and all
of Them have friends who might come
TO their rescue in case of urgency. At
any rate the senatorial conferees
would hesitate long time before
bringing in provision for free hides
Hides will be put upon the free list
and existing rates on all leather goods
will be substantially reduced, some of
them below the duties fixed by either
the house or senate tariff bills. While
no vote was taken on the hide question
by the conference committee today.
practically every member admitted
when recess was taken at ] o'clock
that this program should be adopted.

Over What Senate May Do.

Especial to the ..News..)

Washington. D. q CT, July 24--NNlth
the exception Of iron ore and hides the
tariff conferees are practically agreed
upon the bill to be reported back to
tho house when'lt meets on Monday
and there Is little doubt about that an
agreement Will be reached before
Monday morning. 1t is now thought
that the report will be ready before
midnight tonight.
The hide question continues to be-.
as it has been for the past two weeks
the principal bone of contention be-
tween opposing interests. The Mas.
sachusetts senators who We're the
strongest advocates Of free hides are
3endeavoring today to secure from the.
shoe manufacturers an agreement
whereby the duty on manufactures
of leather will be removed or tyery rad
ically lowered in return for a con-
cession of free hides, but if that is
not accepted the chances are that BY
tonight the manufacturers VIII ind
that they must be content with q duty
OF not less than 10 per cent OIL hides
IN order to bring about the support OF
the western senators to the report of
the conferees.
1t makes very little difference what
objection there may be in the house
among western representatives be-
cause the conference report, II, as now
seems probable, is signed BY all repre-
sentatives. The conferees' report VIII
be forced through the lower branch IN
spite of all objection by the usual
methods of cutting Off debate through
the medium of the special rule.
But in the senate 1t is different Two
or three determined senators can pre-
vent action on any measure which does
definite time and for this reason it Is
absolutely essential that some agree
ment be reached on the hide duty be-
fore adoption of the conference report
can be hoped for.
This is the end towards which every
one seems to be working this after
noon. There will probably be a small
duty, 10 cents per ton. on iron ore.
