f he people demand. My impression la hat the senate will eventually succumb to the trusts, regardless of the prorrflaes to the people In 1S32. The house should Vtand firm against the senate and pass the Wilson bill or none at all, and let the blame rest where It belongs, with the trust senators." J. "V. Ragsdale, banker "I have not riven the matter much thought. I think thouEh, the house and senate should get together and compromise the matter and give the people some kind of a tariff measure. e do r.ot want to come be fore the people next campaign and fight the battle over on tariff reform." S. R. Eecles. druggist, says the president's letter was a good one and came Just at the right time. He had a perfect right to write It and Wilson was right t o read It before ,the house. In 1S92 the democrats went before the people on tariff reform and were overwhelmingly victoriou?. and we now expect congress to carry out its pledges. The Wilson bill Is nut exactly what wis wanted, but is as stood as can be gotten at present, and would satisfy the people. The house should stand firm for its bill against the eenite. and pass that or none at all. John Ttrhune. contractor, says that the house should stand firm and not al low the senate to rule in this matter any longer. He thinks the Wilson bill ought to pass just as the house made it, and that very soon. TUR MASSHS WITH CLEVELAND. A Vrir Opinion of Prominent C'itl zciin of IMInharfC. EDINBURC, July 27. Special.

NEW YORK, July 2:. Senator Calvin S. Urine was at .Manhattan I teach today. He said he thought the tariff bill would pa. in the form as amended nd adop;ed by th senate. Jle jald that three or four of the senators he would Iiot mention any names were in a Very peculiar position. They had arty pledned themselves, purely In the interests of party unity, to support the bill, and this, notwithstanding the fact that they objected to the income tax. and, therefore, to the bill, and would much prefer to have stood out agiiim It, just as Senator Hill had done, But these senators had stood firmly and manfully by their pledge through all the parliamentary exigencies of the senate light and had thus preserved intact the body of forty-three senators for the till. "These senators now," he went on, "will watch closely any attempt to change that bill from its form as they supported it, und an ill eagerly accept any opportunity, whb h a change in the provisions of the Lid would give them, to bolt and go over with Hill In complete opposition to the bill." Senator Price was asked what he thought of Mr. Hill's speech In support of President Cleveland. The senator replied that SM. h a speech was directly In line with Hill's policy of oppo-'tion- to the bill, which he hnd continually maintained. President Cleveland opposed the bill in his Wilson m-sage with reference to coal and Iron. Hill was. therefore, perfectly consistent In standing up for Mr. Cleveland. Mr. lirice said that the senators did not view Senator Gorman's speech as an attack upon the president. Gorman simply stood up f r the senate In reply to charges made by Mr. Cleveland In whit If ad been originally a private letter, but fterward, by its publication, become a public communication.

WASHINGTON. D. C. July 24 Another dramatic scein? occurred In the senat today, but President ClevelaiKl, Instead f teln, as on yesterday, the r.hje.-t of attvk hy th leader of his party, was defended with vigor and vim. Mr. t'leveland'a t-hwnrplon today was his old political rival and enemy. Senator David nennet Hill of New York. The New York senator spoke for almost two hours to Itren'j Mes rralkrks and a full ?nato. Several times the presiding '0:11oer was unable to restrain th enthusiaFm his remarks evok-d. notalily hon Mr. Hill declared that personal considerations would not prevent him from (Uf.-ndinp the president when he was unjustly attacked. lie defended Mr. Cli-viland's letter, his rieht to send It. :nd the .wf nthiKnts of the contents and made a ta-ong- point against his adversaries, when he pointed out that they criticised the president for siding with the house when they admitted that they hail used all thHr Imluence to induce him to interpose in behalf of the penate amendments to the tariff bill. He took ip Mr. ttorman's argument and met it. point by point, in a, manner patisfaetory to himself at le;i5t, and concluded with a pieie of satire that Muntr those on the floor and tickled the galleries immt-ns-urably. Mr. (lonnan on yesterday compared Mr. Hill to -Ias;o." Today Mr. Hill likened them who had Joined in the assault on Mr. Cleveland to the conspirators who stabbed Censor" to death nt the fo t of Ponipey's statue in the'lloman senate. Mr. (iornian he characterized as the b-fm and himcry "(.'assius; Mr. Jones, "Marcus Irutus," the "honest Hrutus" of the f-nate; Mr. Vest, who strui-k the first blow on Filday, as "Casca:" Mr. Yoorhees as "Ti ebonius," "testy, but earnest." and Mr. Harris as "Meteliius Clmbr." They ha.l struck down the president. Mr. Hill said, not that they loved Mr. Cleveland less, but that they loved th senate compromise more. "And yet," ne concluded, and ich word r.!ti? out like a hammer on an anvil, "I can say with 'Antony, 'they are all honorable." " Mr. CaflVry of Louisiana, who followed Mr. Hill with a brief speech, also gave to the country his share of the .v-crets of the political prison house. He detailed at leng-ih t he manner in which the sucvir schedule had been prepared, in sisting th-jt it was made by and in the interest of the gurar trust. He gave way in order to give th democrats a fhanee to caucus. Altogether It va a very exciting day and the indications are that others as interesting will follow. WASHINGTON. July 2". The senate will acced to the request of the hou-e for another conference on the tariff bill. and its confi rees will return to the met ting with those of th house, untrammelled by any fpecitic Instructions whatever. Thia was the conclusion of the democratic senatorial caucus, vhl h adJourned sine die a few minutes after 5 o'clock today, after a two days' .sitting. WASHINGTON. July 2G. Senator Vilas of Wisconsin, who was secretary of the interior and later postmastergeneral during President Cleveland's first administration, replied at great length today to Serator Gorman's attack upon the president. For two hours he held the lioor, amid the wrapt atten tion of the senate and galleries, deliv ering his scathinj rebuke of the Maryland senator. He denounced Mr. Gor man's assault as wanton, reckless and unjustifiable and, although he declared that Mr. Cleveland needed no defense at his hands, he took up the charges made by Mr. (Iornian and met them with masterly skill and logic. He made his statement, he said, in the interest of the truth of history. MS fiorman was not in the senate at the time and to this fact the Wisconsin senator called atten tion with regTet. In conclusion, he eulogized the personal character and publio integrity of Mr. Cleveland In the most glowing terms, declaring, with dramatics v fervor, that the president of the Lntted States, who had received so many evidence of the honor and respevt of the American people, could not suffer from this unjustifiable attack of the Maryland nator. At the conclusion of his speech Mr. Vila explained that, In view of the fact that Messrs Gorman. Brlue and Smith had assured htm that his motion t recede from the one-eighth differential in favor of the refiners of sugar mut fall. and the further fact that a democratic caucus had decided to agree to a fur ther conference without Instruction, he would withdraw the motion. After some general remarks by Mr. Stewart agalnet the Interference of the executive with the legtslativo branch of the government, Mr. Hill's motion that the senate recede frohr Its amendment! placing a duty of 40 cents a ton on coal and iron ore were voted upon- and de feated, trw repuollcans, except Mr. Hansbrough of North Dakota, Joining with the democrats bound bv the caucus agreement against it. The vote stood 6 to 63 and 6 to 61. Mr. Irby of Soath Carolina was the only other democrat, except Mr. Hill, who voted for free coal and iron. The populists,' Allen, Kyle and Peffer, also voted In the afurniative. Mr. Washburn renewed Mr. Vilas's mo tion to Instruct the conference to recede from the one-eighth differential on refined sugars, but Mr. Gray immedi ately made the point of order against it that it was not competent for the t:ente to Instruct in a "full and free ' con ference. The point of order was de bated for soma time, but had not been decided when the senate adjourned. XhJNui is rjo loubu b.vwYCi that it will

lw sustained and this motion ruled out. The genral Impression Is that the bill will go back to conference tomorrow. VILAS'S SPEECH.

Defend the President and Scores Gorman. In the senate this afternoon Mr. Jones called up the conference report on the tariff bill. Mr. Vilas was immediately resnlzed but yielded to Mr. Quay, who withdrew the sugar amendments ha offered just before adjournment last night. The Wisconsin senator began his speech by saying that an extraordinary scene occurred on Monday last In the senate. A democratic senator, said h, paw lit to attack the president, "without precedent, ho thought, or if there waa a precedent it was one that ought to be shunned instead of followed. It was a personal anault upon the president and his character. He had hoped, he said, that the remarks of Mr. Gorman and those who Jolne-l with him or that occasion would have appeared in the record before he (Mr. Vilas) repl'ed. But, he went on sarcastically, he presumed the engagements of the Maryland senator were so pressin? that he had had no time to revise them. Mr. Vilas considered it his duty to reply to that assault. He would speak as the personal as well as the political friend of the president. He rejoiced In the honor of Mr. Cleveland's friendship. It was a pride to him. Of the rewards few and stinted, that come to publio men, one of the greatest that had come to him was the intimate association with the lofty and distinguished man. It was his honest testimony to his character that never at any moment in any temptation, political or personal, had he failed to 6ee In Mr. Cleveland the pure white light of an upright purpose. For such a man he saw lit to say some words, not In defense (he needed none), but some correction of a discoloration of facts by which Mr. Cleveland had been placed in a false light before the country. lie would make his statement in behaif of th truth of history. He regretted, he said, that Mr. Oorman was absent from the senate chamber. The first accusation, he proceeded, was that the president, was opn to the charge of duplicity. That was based upon a letter In which Mr. Cleveland expressed the hope that iron and coal should go on the free list on the tariff bill. The second was that the executive had by that eru-roached on the prerogatives of concress and that the president had traduced the senate. Those charges wera true or false, not as a matter of argument, but as a matter of fact. "With regard to coal and Iron ore let us examine the facts." said Mr. Vilas. "And I desiro to say here that I am tin ier deep obligation to the senator from New York, who never In his public career ma le such an abb exposition of any subject as he did on Tuesday last." The President's Iteeord. Mr. Vilas thn reviewed at length the president's opinion in favor o free raw materials, his letter of 17 and other public lUteran.-es up to his message to coiipivss at the opening of the present session. This principle was everywhere procl limed by his supporters to be tne first step In the enfranchisement of lab.r frim the thraldom of unjust taxation. Could it be possible, lie asked, thai any oik- supposed he had abandoned the principle that lay at the base of any scheme of tariff reform? What was the proof adduced In support of this alleged change of heart? Mr. (iorman himself had no personal testimony to offer. He callcl on Mr. Vest, who" offered con vers it Ion-hearsay testi mony that would have been excluded In any court of justice. 11 had no pers n U testimony. The distinguished senator from Arkansas, whose labors In leha!f of this bill had earned so much respect from his colleagues, testified that he had personally talked with the president about the senate bill. 1)11 Mr. Jones claim that a'.l details of the bill had be-n laid before Mr. Oveland? Necessarily not. Only the general principles n which the amendments were made. With regard to those two amendments, upon which the specifications of Mr. (lorman's charge hid been founded, the testimony of Mr. Jones was clear that the president, whenever coal and iron ore were mentioned, expressed the. hope that they would go on the free list. Was lit re any one desirous of doing open and free Justice to the pre.d-!-nt who. after reading Mr. Jones's own statement, would n-d say that Mr. Cleveland had never faltered In his urgent dtinand for free coal and free iron ore? The president knew, too. that each house would have a voicr. and therefore not with dupli.'Uy. but with optniies and boldnesa that a'.ways characterized him. Mr. Cleveland had expressed to the chairman of the ways and means committee ti; h,ip: that tho rcsu'.t hu desired should be accomplished In conference. He had a right to say it aficr his conversation as detailed by S-nator Jones; he had aright t dlsourae It by any proper means. Hut It was t-aid that the president's letter constituted an encroachment upon the prerogatives of congress. His riant to write and send It was right. Mr. Vilas quoted th text of the Ptter. Wa. that tii" language f a man who sought to rea -h beyond his power? he asked. Wai it Tr-'t rather the honest outpouring of a genuine democrat addressing his fellow-democirats in support of prinolples h had so nob'.y carried through two trying presidential contests? Mr. Vilas th-n quoted and ranged alongside of Mr., Ckveiand'ti utterance the statement of Mr. Gorman that the senate could not pass a bill if It did not have the hearty support of Mr. Cleveland. "At the very time when the president was writing his letter to Mr. Wilson," Mr. Vilas went on dramatically, "the senator from Maryland and his co-adju-tors were appealing to Mr. Cleveland to induce him to support them in an effort to qualify the enactment of democratic principles instead of crystallizing thm into law. How utterly wanton Is this cry of interference now, because he has' seen fit to throw the weight of hia intluenve with the house in favor of democratic principles; because he refused to stand with them they make his action a ground of complaint here and In horhorror cry out against executive Interference." WutlilriKtoii Sft the Precedent. Mr. Vilas referred to the fact that Pesident Washington came to the same chamber, accompanied by his eecretary, to urge in person the ratification of a treaty he had negotiated. President Jackson's course in making his views felt by congress was also referred to. . Mr. Vilas said he was content to leave to fair-minded men whether the president had wantonly encroached upon the rights of congress. The charge was made that the senate had been traduced. Extracts from the letter to Mr. Wilson was read to show that the president's purpose was not to traduce the senate, but to plainly state his aspirations toward tariff reform. The president had stated that the abandonment of that great party principle would be perfidy and dishonor. "No one would question that such an abandonment of principle would be dishonorable. The phaft was not aimed at any senator. It was not a personal accusation. It was not an accusation leveled at the senator from Maryland (Gorman) or the senator from Missouri (Vest), or the senator from Arkansas (Jones), or ag-alnst any other enator. The president" understood the situation In the senate. He knew the stanch adherence to tariff reform of the senator from Texas (Mills), the senator from Delaware (Gray) and the two senators from Arkansas (Jones and Horry), but there was no arrayal of these views." The president' letter was wholly impersonal. Mr. Vilas said the views of the senator from Maryland (Gorman) could mean only one thing. It was an effort to array democrats together in a spirit of resentment and thus carry out the compromise of tariff reform. The Wilson bill had passed amid publio acclamation. The people accepted it a t:e honest execution of a party and public pledge. But when the tariff reform measure reached the sena-U iron uui coal wer .

placed ön the dutiable list. Moreover, it was debated week In and week out. Tho public wa wearied at the debate, j-et the senate could rea on no result. It waa ftt this Juncture, that the senator from Arkansas (Jones) had brought forward over four hundred amendments. These were to be the solution of the problem and were to bring the debate to a close. Ftill the discussion proceeded fifty-seven days. Mr. Vilas said he had recognized the necehsity of yielding- to these amendments. It was essential to have a revision of the existing- tariff law quickly. It was essential, too, to reinforce a depleted treasury. "Meantime under the operation- of the rules of the senate we encountered the taunt of our skillful friends upon the other side that we were dumb, we who

felt that we were gagged and smothered by our anxiety, fuming with chagrin- and yet subdued by an overruling necessity, enjoyed that blessed freedom of debate which our rules secure only to the obstructing minority. "Can anybody supposed for an instant that there is such a compulsion, or that there could be such a compulsion placed upon senators by thflr effort to pats the bill through the senate, as to make them reckless of their obligation under the constitution to anrxher branch of the legislature? Assuredly not. sir. Nobody In this chamber would have pretended bo to yield up in advance the measure of his duty, his recognized obligation. Was not this history well ltnowrc to the president? Has he not invariably often sympathized with the declaration of party loyalty by the distinguished senator from Missouri, the distinguished and able senator from Texas (Mr. Mills) and others upon this floor? "The president could not know all the details of the bill. lie could only deal with it in general resp?cts as to its principle, and therefore he wrote, not to disparage the senate, not to traduce a senator. He was not only excused, but Justified, and his countrymen will justify him and applaud, as they have already done, his unflinching fidelity to his views. Glortlnjt' Tribute to the Prenldent. "It is not resentment that I feel for the distinguished senator from Maryland. The consequence to him of this assault rpon the chief magistrate in the Judgment r-f his fellowmeiv he must endure, for in my humble opinion h has made a mistake. The American people will never tolerate in any man treatj ment of this nature of their great chief magistrate, except upon ground so solid as would warrant accusation against him, even accusation ia form and manner. Not only in his official capacity, but now also in his admirable, his wonderful individuality, tried iu the sternest ordeal and know to every man of intelligence and strength of mind, Grovcr Cleveland stands perfectly recognized as himself the full measure of a man worthy of his great office. He is not now, for the first time president, but with a peculiar glory shared by no other hitherto, lie is a second time a president after a defeat for re-election, which all his countrymen knew augmented his honor, not diminished it.. None as he was ever a third time nominated and a second time elected. None pke he ever did riftht rather than be president, and by his courageous rectitude won the confidence of the people and became president again. "Above all, how shockUig'.y inoppyrtuno comes this accusation. whir;h is levelled at his strength of character, lie had but Just won the applauding admiration. Jiviy, more, devoted respect of ths entire people of this land by the fidelity by which he has 'maintained the constitution and the laws in a trying emergency and by the tenderness and caution which at the same time he displayed in the use of the nation's mighty power 1n his hands, by the noble dignity of hla figure a, with screno an! unruffled composure and Justice, he ruled that storm which fr a time seemed to our minds to threaten civil composure. "The senator from Maryland. I f-ar, must suffer, and I do not wish to add to it, but Grover Cleveland can. suffer no impairment of his stature in history from this unjustifiable assault. He will stand, as he deserves to st md, conspicuous la the rtobl.- line of illustrlau public servants of his country, and long years heno, when the actors of today's tempestuous s.-ene shall have passed away, the accessories of our political strike, the misunderstanding, the niislnt"rprc.tntlon and all unchailtal'.eness will be lost in oblivion r only b-3 recalled, as we now in curiosity renll the scenes around oth- r great natures In the story of our national life, who toiffered in their day from unmerited calumny, and the stature? of the figure of Grover Cleveland will rls In growing honor fir his noble character and his great and devoid elf-sacTitlcing-servloe to his country, Kupt.ne above detraction. As some tall cliff that lifts Its awful form, Swells from the vsle, and miOway leaves the pterin. Thoush round Its breast the rolling clouds aro spread. Kternal sunshine settles on Its head. Ilipltilim 111 Motion. "Fir. as I 'believe, in th very direction of demoiratlc principles, I added m ttloa to the pending bill after iL came back from conference in eincere confidence that its adoption would prom te agreement between tho two hous.s of congresa. Othtr senators declare that that result would not follow the adoption of my motion. The senator from Maryland, and he ought to know, asserted upon this floor in unqualified terms that to adopt the motion would defeat the bill; that it would prevent the bill from going into conference again. The distinguished senator from Ohio (Mr. Price) has made to me the sanw elate-, ment. The distinguished junior senator from New Jersey (Mr. Smith) made to me a similar declaration. That testimony is complete and the country will acoept it as I accept it as proving the fact. Put it Is evident that in the honest judgment of some the claim of special duty in the protection of the indasiry of sugar refining is ho overpowering ax to demand their resistance of a bill without it. however much to me and to others who think a I do, that consummation, is devoutly wished. "This presents the question whether it is better that the bill should fall than this thing should be done. There may be, perchance, worse things than the temporary defeat of a righteous cause, even with the suffering that may attend it. The evils which would ensue upon thft failure of the bill would be temporary, although severe. Tet, a I have already pointed out, they would probably be so severe that they could not be lightly passed by. The American people, have been tried in such contingency. It is but a tew years since, whea the dem ocratic rarty apparently neeure in power, L unurr ury isnurrsmp, waiKeu in mere devotion to principle directly to political defeat. The lamp which led them was not lost i- the obscurity and gloom of the dark valley through which they passed. It Kn rose and It illuminates today the very citadel of liberty Itself. If we were to ln again defeated i rv dovotLon to principle we may still trust the people of the United States. Worse Tiling; Thun Kallare. "No, sir; there are. worse things than failure. There in the decay of virility amonft freemen, far worse than flmple defeat. Put there are some things to comfort us, to cheer the hope ihat out of this conference which will ensue there will come a measure improved far beyond that which has already passed the senate. I find the.t hope in the character of these conferees. There is also much comfort to be taken in the recognized temper of the body with which we ar; dealing. It has declared in an ttnmMakable manner the strength and the enthusiasm of its convictions." Mr. Vilas proceeded to read from the record these proceedings, when the conference report was made to that body, and continued: "I Join in the sentiment nnd T echo the &j?laut and with this expression, of

democratic rteadfartnem repponslve to

the popular feeling, I ought not to be un willing to consent to further effort to RgTee if such would be the effect of the motion I have made. "Now, sir: moved by these considera tions and etlll more because they have g-ovemed the Judgment of those distinguished colleagues on this side of the house, who have not only been with me without dissent, I am obliged to recog. nlze my duty to be different from what it apepared to me to be when I made the motion which JUs upon the table of the senate. Resides, s'jr, I am a strict party man, and I am, so especially in the prosecution of measures of party prinicple. for the reason that I know that only by person..! submission to the will of the majority, especially in matters of method and proceedure. can the result we de sire be achieved. Recognizing that and intending to make no half-hearted acknowledgement when my duty is clear, I shall vote to send this bill to conference in accord with my democratic- brethren and I ask the leave of the senate in order to carry that purpose Into effect. to withdraw the motion which I made on Friday last." rrm:LD the trust. Gorman, Hrlee and Smith. Trill to Their Compact. BUREAU OF THE SENTINEL. WASHINGTON, D. C. July 25. Senators Gorman, Price and Smith are now open advocates of the sugar trust. Senator .Caffrey having given them away in his speech yesterday aa th senators who forced the finance committee to give the refiners Ji cent differential duty, nothing was to bei gained by remaining in the background, so Gorman, Price and Smith authorized Vilas to 6tate in open senate today that they would vote against any conference report that took the protection away from the sugar trust. The tru.--t must be protected or these three votes will be thrown on the republican side to revent any legislation. In the caucus when they were reminded that if, by their action, they defeated" tariff legislation the democratic party would lose control of the government, one of them replied that they didn't care as they could make more money under the McKinley bill anyway. I'ooltiou of the Kicker. Senator Smith is the largest manufacturer in this country of patent leather, and of course the McKinley tariff is a bonanza to him. Senator Price 1 interested in coal, iron an J othtr Industries affected by the tariff, and Senator Görmar is "lso largely interested in coal lands and other protected Industries. They are not worrying over the defeat of the tarLT bill. Th d'.-nnocrats now find themselves completely at the mercy of these tariff barons anI have practically agreed to yield, in order to get the bill through. They will jlell with the intention of following up Ulis bill with pop-gun bibs, placing one at a time, coal, iron and smrnr on the free list. No combination will be possible on any one of these bills. Hill will then not be able to fall behind the lacome tax as an excuse to vote apainst free coal, free iron, free sugar. Many republicans would vole to put sugar on the fre bet. Such a bill may be rushed through the house before the signature of the president to the tariff bill now pending is cold. Mill neeonie n l.nw. That the present tariff bill will become a law there can be no doubt. An agreement will be reached not later than next week. Tho sugar schedule may be rearranged, but not to lower the duty. It will be the senate bill when it becomes a law. with some modifications. Gorman, Price and Smith will have no other, and without their voted the bill cannot become a law. Speaker Crisp ('fills. Speaker Crisp was at the white house today and bis visit with the president caused a renewal of the comment as to the interest of the admir.lstra4.lun in supporting ihe tariff position ,f the house. Mr. Crisp declined to say anything concerning the conference, or to evtn intimate whether the tariff deadlock between the houses was a subject for discussion. Representatives Kilgore of Texas and Pyntirn of Indiana, the latter a member of th ways and means committee, also saw the president, today. Mr. Kilgore is endeavoring to stem the tide in the house, which lias set In for the last two days toward a concession to most, if not all. that tho senate asked. He thinks that th-"' house will yet win the struggle, an 1 so told the president. To his callers the president expressed tho same determinativ rv shown In the letter to Chairman Wilson, it was evident to them that he was very fixed lu his view of the Justice of the contention he bad presented, und that there was no Disposition to waver from it except through such mutual compromises as would give the house nt least a good share of the concessions. a vi.'itY ci.osn siiayr.

As per caucus agreement the tariff bill was sent lack to tiie conference committee without instructions.

This one-eighth differential duty is for the benefit of the sugar trust. Quay and other sugar trust republicans voted to take off this one-eighth cent, not to injure the trust, but for the purpose of defeating the bill. Gorman, Smith and Price having given notice that if this concession to the FUgar refiners was stricken out of the bill they would vote with the republicans to kill the whole tariff bill, it was policy for the republicans to vote solidly against what Gorman and Price and Smith considered the price of their votes. It 1 believed that the sugar schedule will be modified in conference, but it must be acceptable to the GormanPilco combine or the bill will never be allowed to become a law. There are rumors that the president wl.l veto the "bill if It is not divested of the most obnoxious features. Thero is no prolxubiKty of such action by the president. In the first phxoe, the house will follow Chairmaji Wilson, aaid Lf he refits a compromise meaeure to the house dt can 'be taken for granted that such reKpt will have the approval of the president. The concensus of opinion in both houses la that an agreement will be reached next week and that congress will adjourn by the middle of August. The senate at 3 o'clock this afternoon, after a week of speeches, agreed to the further conference on the tariff bill asked by the house of representatives. The test of strength today cami on Mr. Washburn's motion that the cnate recede from that portion of the sugar amendment placing a differential of onetenth of a cent on sugars above No. 16 Dutch etandard. After an hour and a half of debate on the pending points of order the president pro tempore, Mr. Harris, who was in the chair in tho absence of Vice-President Stevenson, sustained the point of order and ruled the motion out. The decision was Immediately appealed from and a motion made to lay the latter motion on the table, poth motions resulted in a tie vote, Mr. Hill and the populists acting with the republicans in the effort to get a direct vote of the senate on Mr. Washburn's motion. Intense excitement prevailed owing to tho closeness of the vote. In case of a tie the motion is lost, according to parliamentary law. The failure to sustain the chair on the appeal brought the senate to the direct vote on the Washburn motion. UjK)n the result hinged perhaps the fate of the measure. Put, though the republicans scored the victory

in securing the vote on the one-eighth differential. It developed that they had no reserve strength, and the vote- on the Washburn motion, also resulted in a tie, and consequently was lost. All the democrats save Mr. Hill and Mr. Irby. who were paired in favor of striking out the one-eighth, stood by the caucus agreement and voted against the motion. The republicans also presented a solid front, Mr. Quay, who voted for the oneeighth when the bill was in the rennte.

After those votes no attempt was made to delay the matters and the resolution to agree, to a further conference was agreed to without division. The chair then reappointed the conferees, Messrs.

He form More l'uvrablf. WASHINGTON, July SO. For the first time elnea the tariff bill has been In conference there were signs cf wavering in the etronff Una that has stood behind the gen-ate bill. "Senate bill or na bill" has been repeatcl during tha day, but less frequently and with les3 emphasis than heretofore. Trio enly explanation for the brief conference today is tha fact that the nous conferees feel that the eltuatlerr is changing- In their favor. There are" "many reasons advanced to fhow that this statement hps good foundation. It Is ksown that the mails and telerraph ere bringing to the demovTatla senators urfnt appeals to pass a bill "which will not favor th4 trusts and which "wall be in line with the demands cf the 'party platform." In fact these requests upon the senators are Indorsements of the position of the president and tha house in the m'lin points of difference. That these tlRrams are (having effect cannot bo denied and have caused the senators who are most insistent upon the penate bill as regards coal, iron ore and augar no little concern. The house members also find considerable comfort in their analysis of tho speeches made by the democratic senators when the conference disagreement was before the cenate in which they find that but one democrat besides Mr. Hai made any pledge of his vote, and that was Senator Caffery, who declared that lf the l-zoulsiana sugar Interests were not protected he would not vote for the bill. None of the other senators, it Is claimed, burned the bridges behind therat none of them declared absolutely that they would vote against the bill lf tho onofiglvth differentUl on tugar was not retained, or If the duty cn iron ore nnd coal was stricken out. But more than this, many of the eenators declared their desire to obtain a bill which would t?ecure forty-three democratic votes. It is pointed out that nona of these 6natov3, not even Mr. Cattery, have placed themselves In a position in which they cm. not auppert a bill Jf It is returned without a viSfferentlal protection to the eujrar refiners and with coal Ini iron on the free list. ' 'I' be Cotuprouiiie l'ropomi I. It is known that a great deal cf prospure Is beinff brVugrht to bear on the democratic conferees of the senate to report an agreement with modifications of the three principal Items, a compromise being suggested to the extent of a fiat ai valorem rate on sugar of 3 per cent., with an extension of the bounty to Jan. 1. 1895; free iron ore, coal 40 cents a ton with ft reciprocity provision thftt coal shall be admitted free from such coun tries as grant free nd mission to cal produced In the United States. While this proposition has not been submitted with any assertion that it Is an ultimatum of the house conferees, there is a great dal of talk that suc5i a projositin is likely to be presented. This, it is believed, will Focure the votes of the Louisiana! senators, th two populists, Allen and Kyle, and Irby of South Carolana. In that event it would take other demoeraUc senators beside Hill to defeat the bill, and the house members declare tho number cannot be found. It is a fact that the situation, turning as it does on these lines, has caused con siderable uneasiness among- tha democrat. of the penate, and especially those who are known to be steadfast in their de mands for the senate bill in its main features. The rellanco of the house upon outside pressure and the democratic sentiment that seems to be rallying around the president and the house, from the country At large, it is claimed will grow stronger from day to uay until the senate conferees will be compelled to yield. The prestige which Hie administration obtained In the conference over the unconditional repeal of the silver purchasing law has been pointed out as being evi dence of a determination now. which with the solid backing of the democratic lead ers in the house will bring; about a similar result on the tariff bill. TrnalAu Hill ' Eit. The tension between the senate and house was as marked, at the close of the session today as' it had been, at any time previous. The democratic members of the conference found themselves in a com plete deadlock when they met during the forenoon, and the full conference called for 1 o'clock found Itself without business before it when it convened. The full conference did not continue to exceed fifteen minutes, and the proceedings consisted in a statement by the democrats to tho republicans that the democratic conferees had been unable to reach an understaniIng.and a suggestion on the part of Chairman Wilson of the house conferees t)it the conference adjourn subject to the call of the chairman wa. aciulesced lu by the republicans. The Impression which ex-Speaker Ttced obtained of the situation was unbodied in a rough diagram which he drew while the conference was in session, which represented the senate as a locomotive rushing down a steep grade under full steam. Stretching across the track, and directly In front of the engine, is an immense, well-supported
