DOWLED OVER
 THE SENATE
NEW COALITION Bo6s UP, PAS sE,s WOOL COMPROMISE AND
 MAKES THREATS.
Democrats and insursent RepubIi cans Out Vote the Regulars and Flushed with Victory
 May Cause Trouble.

Washington, July 27.-Out Of whai had appeared to be chaotic condl- ton in the senate, there suddenly arose today a coalition of democrats and insurgent republicans which bowled over the regular organization and passed a compromise bill for the revision of the woolen tariff by 4S to 32
 This new force in the senate united on material reduction of tariff du- ties all down the line and flushed with victory tonight, is threatening not only to enact the so-called house farmers free list bill into law next Tuesday, but to put through cot ton bill as well. The insurgents want the sugar and steel schedules included ln the program.
 Tie house democratic leaders are not willing to accept the compromise bill as 1t passed the senate today but they are more than willing to meet the senate conferees. Chairman Underwood, of the house ways and means oomisffiee, expressed the be- lief tonight that a bill satisfactory 10 both houses was more than likely 70 oe agreed upon.
 This would put the wool issue up to President Taft and there is much speculation as to what his course would be- While Mr. Taft would make no comment on the situation. there have been strong intimations from the White House within the past few weeks that he would not hesitate so use the veto on any tar iff schedules passed in advance of reports from the tariff board.
 Assumption of power by the dem- ccraelc 1insurgent combination today was the outgrowth of a similar coal ition formed on June 2l to send the woolen bill to the finance committee with instructions to report it back July I0. The standpat senators then admitted that their control Of the upper house of congress had been broken and that they would no longer hold themselves responsible. The finance committee, shifting the re- sponslbility to the floor of the senate. reported the bill back adversely the next day Today these regular sen ators again showed their resentment in defeat and declared they would not serve on any committee of conference with the house of representatives.
 There is llklihood therefore, that the senate conferees will be senator Ia Toilette, insurgent republican and Senators Bailey and simpson, dem oerafs.
 Senator Penrose, chairman of the finance committee, freely predicted today that President Taft would ve to any wool measure that might come Cut of the conference. Both demo- cratic and regular republican leaders seem to feel that veto would not be to their disadvantage.
 What effect the senate coalition as perfected today, will have on th' date Of adjournment cannot be prop hesied.
 The house democrats are frankly anxious for the session to end. Th' insurgent senators declare they arr anxious to remain in Washington "al simmer" to enact tariff legislation
 The bill as passed by the senat today was drawn by Senator La Fol lette and was compromise between the Underwood bill, which passed tn democratic house, and the origina La Toilette bill, both forced out 0 the way
 Some idea of the compromise ma be had from the proposed rates O raw wool. The house bill propose rate of 20 per cent ad yalorem The original La Toilette bill pro posed 10 per cent. The compromis fixes the rate at 35. It is predicte that the conference will put 1t 30.
 The progressive program is to II man in session until action may b had on the several schedules named
 The agreement under which tn wool bill was put through extends the farmers free list, now on the SCI ate calendar and the passage of thi Treasure in modified form seemed a sured tonight.
 The plan is either to place the val
