NY v.-hi.votox, July 20. From tnlks with M-nntor, tho indications arc that the president's letter , to Mtv Wilson will precipitate an nniitintod discussion on the floor of tho sonnte to-ilay. There will bo no limit to the debate, anil before the consideration of the conference report ns an incidental and
the letter as the mam suiyeei is owr, some very plain language, it is averted, will lie tiled by .some of the senators who have been designated as the "conservatives." It is also said that three of these senators will make their replies when Mr. Voorhees calls up the report iiiiniediatelv after the reading of the journal
to-day. The.e three are Senators Smith, (iorman and Urlee. Mr. Hill will also speak. Mr. Smith, if the rumors about him lo true, will make a speech in which be will warn the conferees that they have violated the faith placed in them when they recoiled from the senate amendments and agreed, as has been reported, that they would accept the house schedules on woolens, cottons, etc. He will outline the situation us he sees it and will, it is said, in his conclusions, toll the senate, the president, the country and the house of representatives that they can accept the senate bill or no bill at all so far us hi vote is concerned.
Mr. liorman. who was in close conference with Mr. .Jones and Mr. Murphy all the afternoon, went home as soon as the senate adjourned. It is staid that he. too. will echo the sentiments that Mr. Smith will utter, and will warn the house that if it persists in the course adopted by it to-day. it will end in defeating a bill which for the best interests of the whole country, and which was the product of very serious attention on the part of the senate, and formulated as the only 1,511 tlmt emild hone to meet with suc
cess. Mr. Gorman, if the statements -of his friends mean anything, is more firmly grounded in his original plan than evyr. " Mr. Itrlce will have a few words to say alKjut the senate bill, in which he. too. will join his colleagues in letting the country know that it is the senate bill, and not the house bill, that is to ultimately become the law of the land. There was a rumor about last night
that the senate democrats were now declaring that their bill should pass without the dotting of an ,,i" or the crossing of a ,t." but one of the conservatives denied this, saying that there were many items in the senate bill upon which concessions would W made, but that in the main the senate idea of a tariff should prevail or there would be no bill; with this the idea also prevails in the senate that the bill will not le defeated Mr. Gorman, with some indignation, last night denied the story that had K'en circulated to the effect that he had surrendered coal and had given his consent that it should go back to
"the free list. , TIIK IT.KSIOK.VT'S I.KTTKK. I'ersonai. Kxkcitivk Mansion. Washington-, July -Jl. lh'Jl. "7V Ihn. Wat. 'ilon: "MY DkakSik The certainty that a conference will be ordered letwccn the houses nf concrcss for the purpose
of adjusting difference on the subject of tariff legislation, makes it also cortain that you will be again called upon to do hard service in the cause of tariff reform. "My public life has been so closely related to the subject. I have so longed for its accomplishment, and 1 have so often promised its realization to my fellow-countrymen as a result of their
trust and confidence in the democratic party. 1 hope no excuse is necessary for my earnest appeal to you that in this crisis you strenuouly insist upon party honesty and good faith and a sturdy adherence to democratic principle. I Iwlieve those are absolutely necessary conditions to the continuation of demoerotic existence. "I in not rid mvself of the feeling
that this conference will present the best if not the only hope of true, democracy. Indications point to its action as the reliance of those who desire the genuine fruition of democratic effort, the fulfillment of democratic pledges and the redemption of democratic promises to the people. "To reconcile differences in the details nfitnttriscd within the well-defined
Vines of principle, will not lo the sole task of the conference, but as it seems to me. its tneinliors will also have in charge the question whether demoemtio principles themselves are to be .saved or abandoned. "There is no exeti.se for mistaking or misapprehending the feeling and the temper of the rank and file of the democracy. They are downcast under
the assertion tlmt tneir party inns m ability to manage the government and they are apprehensive that efforts to bring about tariff reform may fail: but they are much more downcast and apprehensive in their fear that, demoem tic nrinciole may w surrendered.
In these circumstances they can not do otherwise than to look with confidence tnynu and those who with you have patriotically and sincerely championed the cause of tariff reform within democratic lines and guided by democratic principles. Thiscontldcnee is vastly augmented by the action under your leadership of the house of representatives upon the bill now pending. "..very true democrat and every sincere tariff reformer knows that this bill in its present form, and an it will be submitted to the conference, falls far short of the consummation for which we have long labored, for which we have suffered defeat without discouragement; which in its anticipation gave s a rallying cry In our day oi triumph,
1 ami which in its promise of accomplish- ' mont Is so interwoven with domovrutic mill democratic successes that
our abandonment of the eause of the principles upon which It rests means party perfidy and party dishonor. One topic will W submitted to the confurenoe which embodies democratic principles so directly that it can not be compromised. We have in our plutforttts and in every way pus- ible declared in favor of the free importation of raw materials. We have again and ng.mi promised that this should le accorded to our people and our manufacturers as soon iu
the , democratic party was invested with the jKnver to determine the tariff policy of the country. The party has now that power. We are as certain to-day as we have ever been of the great Wuefit that would accrue to
the country from the inauguration or this policy, and nothing has occurred to release us from obligation to secure iIik ii!viint:i!'i to our neonle. It must
be admitted that no tariff measure can accord with democratic principles and promises to bear a genuine democratic badge that does not provide for free raw materials. "In these circumstances it may well excite our wonder that democrats arc willing to depart from this, the most democratic of all tariff principles, and that the inconsistent absurdity of such a proposed departure should
lw tnnliMsized he the Rinrirestion
.-v ( - c n 1 that the wool of the farmer be put on the free list and the protection of tho tariff taxation be placed around the iron ore of . corporations and capitalists. How can we face the people after indulging in such outrageous discriminations and violations of principle? "It is quiteappa rent that this question of free raw material does not admit of adjustment on middle ground, since their subjection to any rate of tariff taxation, great or small, is alike a violation of democratic principle and democrat ie good faith. "I hope you will not eousider it intrusive if 1 say something in relation to another subject, which can hardly fail to be troublesome to the conference. 1 refer to the adjustment of
tariff taxation on sugar.
"Under our party platform and in accordance with our declared party purposes, sugar is a legitimate and logical article of revenue taxation. Unfortunately, however, incidents have accompanied certain stages of the legislation which will le submitted to the conference that have aroused in connection with this subject a natural democratic animosity to the metloHls and manipulations of trusts and combinations. I confess to sharing in this feeling: and yet it seems to me we ought, if possible, to sufficiently free ourselves from preju-
ilice to enable us coolly to weign me considerations which in formulating tariff legislation ought to guide our treatment of sugar as a taxable arti
cle. "While no tenderness should lw entertained for trusts, and while 1 am decidedly opposed to granting them, under the guise of tariff taxation, any opportunity to further their peculiar methods I suggest that we ought not to be driven away from the democratic principle and policy which lead to the taxation of sugar, by the fear, quite lilfi.U- iv:ni-!'irated. that in carrvintr
n - - out this principle and policy we may indirectly and inordinately encourage a combination of sugar refining interests. I know that in present conditions this is a delicate subject ami I appreciate the depth and
strength oi tlie leeiing wmcn us treatment has aroused. I do not lelievo we should do evil that good may come, but it seems to me that we should not forget that our aim is the reduction of the tariff and in taxing sugar for proper purposes and within reasonable bounds, whatever else may be said of our acts, we are in no danger of running counter to democratic principle. With all there is at stake there must 1.. in tli. treatment of this article some
ground upon which we are all willing to stand, where toleration and conciliation may be allowed to solve the problem, without demanding the entire
surrender of fixed and conscientious convictions. "I ought not to prolong this letter. If what I have written is unwelcome, I Ivg you t.i believe in my good intentions. "In the conclusions of the con-, ference touching the numerous items which will lie considered, tln m-onle are no afraid that
tln.ir interests will nr , be ncirleeted.
They know that the gjtioral result. so far as they are con med will be to place hone accessaries and comfort more easily within tl.eir reach, and to inSure better and hl .-er compensation to those who toil. "We all know that a tariff covering all the varied interc .ts and conditions miiW : foiinlrv as vast as ours must.
of necessity, be larjely the result of honorable adjustment and compromise. "I expect very few of us can say when our measure is perfected that all its features are entirely as we would prot.,f Von know haw much I deprecated
the incorporation in the proposed bill of the income tax fi iture. In matters of this kind, however, which do not violate a fixed and recognized demj ocratic doctrine we are willing to defer
to the judgment of tne majority oi our democratic broth; on. I think there is a general agreement that this is a
party duty.
"This is more plpaiiy apparent when we realize tlm the business ot our country timidly s. anils and watches, for the result of our efforts to perfect tariff legislation, that a quick and certain return of prosperity waits upon a wise adjustment, and that a confiding people still trust in our hands theic prosperity and well-being. "The democracy of the land pleat earnestly for the spe-dy completion o. the tariff legislation which their rep resentatives have undertaken, but they demand not less earnestly that no stress of neecssstty .shall tempt thost they trust to the abandonment of den ocratic principles. "Yours very truly. "OhoVKB Clevki.AND.

SOJIt: PECVMAK FACTS, This table reu-als some lwculiar facts which It would be difficult to account for. AmoDB all the Kreut states north of the Ohio, Indiana has the smallest percentage of alien population -7 per cent., while Ohio, the adjoining stat? on the east, has 13 per cent.. Illinois on the west has 22 percent, and Michigan on the north side has 20 per cent, forelirn population. Why have the foreigners settled all around Indiana In viiri, irr.-:it numbers and left that state prac
tically alone Then, again. Missouri, just eross tho great river from Illinois, has a very mall alien element, only 9 per cent, of the total population. Missouri Is the tilth state of the Union, but is twelfth la point of foreign population. In all the southern states. It will be seen, the alien element Is Insignlllcant. it belüg hut 2 per cent- In North Carolina, and less than 1 percent, in eroral other southern states. On tho other hand, tho umst northern states have the largest proportion of foreign population -New York. (! per cent.: Michigan. 2t. per cent.: Wisconsin. II per cent.: Minnesota. M per cent.: Norlh Dakota, 5 per cent,; Montana. 33 per cent., and Washington. 2rt per cent. The foreign iopilai. nt -Oi in far western states, although
numerically small. Is proportionately large, but at tho same time it la worth noting that lore than one-third of tho foreign settlers ha v. never got more than 200 miles away from Ne' York city Fully as much Interest Is attached to the mi,r,.. ihk nllnn nomilatlon as to Its extent.

The inlltience of frost in changing ilw ehomieal character of fruits nnd

who have had experience with persimmons well know how astringent they m t t 1
are before frosted, ami now sweet, aim delicious they are after the first frost. A new fact has recently been added in connection with the famous Canaigre roots of the north of Mexico, which are found to contain so much tunnin as to threaten to drive tree barks wholly out of use. After In-ing frozen, however, there is not the slightest traee of tannin left. How frost acts in bringing alxmt the change has not ln'en determined.
