ate insurgents and the democrats
went down with "a crash this after
noon. and in the confusion which
followed hasty entente cord3ale Was
arranged between the Democrats and
the standpatters, leaving the insuf-
gents like Mohsmmets coffin, Sus-
pended in the air. When the dust
cleared away IL vas found that the
cotton schedule had been passed
exactly as II came from the house,
bearing with ii amendments revising
The iron and steel and the chemical
schedules together with reduced
duties on machinery
Il is announced tonight that the
house Democrats ~iil probably accept
the senate amendments within the
next two or three days, thus avoid
ing conference and the bill, as
passed by the senate to-day viii 80

Veto. Adjournment will follow, but
there is also d distinct movement on
foot tonight which Senator Feurosc
predicts viii succeed TO bring about
All adjournment OF the special ses-
sion or the legislative day Of Satur-

between the house and senate.
Caucus Not Harmonious.
II vas the idea that the Democratic
caucuses had agreed To this OH We'd
nesday night but there was lack of
harmony al thai caucus. Several OF the
southern mem hers were aVefSe to &C
ton on cotton at this time and set
d shout TO secure a sufficient number
OF Democratic votes TO put through
the Penrose resolution 10 adjourn on
August q; When the senate conTen-
ed this morning, there were four
votes lacking TO insure the success
Of this plan. The Insurgents had
heard Of 1t, however, and II became
noised about the senate that Senator
LaFoiiette had determined To de-
nounce the Democrats for this at
tempted double dealing.
The storm broke early. Learning
that the insurgents proposed Ia break
loose the Democrats resolved to cut
in ahead Of them. The psychological
moment came when Cummins arose
and withdrew the steel amendments
which he had introduced He had
scarcely resumed his seat when Bacon.
