Presidents Declaration
Accepted as UItimatum
That He Will Veto Bill
if Considered Unfair
ENERAL FEELING Is THAT
PRESIDENTS ANNOUNCEMENT
MEANS A SPEEDY SETTLE.
MENT OF QUESTIONS.

WASHINGTON, July 17.-Pres-
idents Taft's emphatic declaration
yesterday that he regarded the re-
publican platform as the meaning
and sentiment of the people demand
ing revision of the tariff down
ward eclipsed In interest all minor
and specific details of the tariff
struggle here today. The presidents
declaration is regarded as a careful
ly concealed threat on the part OF
the president that If the bill reached
him in form that he regarded as
unfair to the promises of the party
and in disobediance to the sentiment
of the people he would veto it. Few
prominent members of either house
will discuss the presidents announce
ment for publication but in con
fidence many talked freely and some
of the conservatives bitterly saying
that the presidents stand meant the
defeat of the bill The less excit-
;able inclined said that the president
simply made a long foreseen move
and that it meant a speedy disolu
ton of opposition to downward re-
vison and the termination of long
fight with the bill the president
wished The general feeling was
that the presidents announcement
meant speedy settlement of the
question.
Twenty-four hours would see the
end of the work of the senate and
house conferees on the tariff bill and
a substantial agreement upon the
ult at hrf M
positions-iron ore, coal. hides and
lum mber--upon which the president
stands firm for radical abolition of
the tariff This is the way the con-
fefrees describe the situation and up
on capitol hill they are factiously
calling these propositions 'the ma
tional issues.
Great progress was made by the
conferees today. In each schedule,
however, there are some items thai
have necessitated Investigations. A.
numbe of these inquiries have not
been completed This is true of lead
products, such as paint, in the chem
ica1 schedule; numerous articles in
the metal schedule on which the
rates depend upon the settlement of
the iron ore question, the demand for
a change in the classification Of wool
tops, the change from ad yalorem to
specific rates on cotton goods; the
increase made by the house on gloves
and the wood pulp and print paper
contest.
The rates on silk and woolen goods
were determined today. The senate
won on both. On silks there will be
a considerable advance over existing
duties and on woolens there is to be
no change from the present law, ex-
cept in regard to wool tops, which are
to be given new classification. The
duty on tops is prohibitive now and
1t is perdicted that it will continue
so even after the reduction Is put
into force.
No decision has been reached def
nitely concerning wool and spun yarn.
