in Conference.
THREW OUT THEIR TEUTACLEt
To ml Around Cutis Friday, When

Raaolntloaa ot Coufideuce In
the Conferee*.
Washington, Aug. 7.—The house
Democratic caucus today lasted an hour
and a half, and aajourned after deed
ing that the house conferees on the
tariff bill should not be embarrassed
by instructions of any character from
the Democratic associates.
This action of the cau-cus was disap
pointing to its promoters, who had
hoped for a different result, by a sdeedy
settlement of the matters In dispute
between the two houses, might be
reached. Another disappointment
awaited those present, In that Mr. Wil
son, the chairman of the ways *and
means committee, failed to Inform the
caucus what pregress the conferees
had made, wtfrat propositions had been
advanced and rejected by the represen
tatives of the two houses, and when,
in his opinion, a report would be made.
Nor did Speaker Crisp, who spoke at
length, throw any light upon the situa
tion. For the most that he said was
that an agreement might be reached
at an early day, while he deepened the
spirits of those who are pressing for an
early adjournment by saying that con
gress might remain in session ninety
days, but that a tariff bill satisfactory
to the country would be passed before
it adjourned,
A feature of the proceedings was a
statement made toy Mr. Boatner of
Louisiana, on the authority of Senator
Mills of Texa4, that the house must
recede from its objections to the senate
amendments and -agree to them if the
pissage of a tariff bill is to be ex
pected. The characterization of this
declaration by Mr. Cooper of Indiana
as a bluff, seemdd likely for 0 moment
to result in an acrimonious debate. It
did not, however, so result, and the
the entire proceedings were character
ized by a spirit ot harmony and good
feeling.
Before the serious work of the caucus
began, a telegram was read from the
desks announcing that Col..Oates had
carried Alabama by a majority wrf 25,-
000. This was greeted with loud ap
plause and put everybody in a gcog.
humor.
Mr. Holman, the ohairmaifcof the cau
cus committee, presided. 1 The roll call
disetosed the presence of 168 members,
an unusually large number, Mr. By-
i num of Indiana, who was the moving
I spirit in securing the caucus, prompt
ly offered the following:
I “Whereas, house bill 4864, for the re-
I ductlon of taxation and to provide rev-
1 enue for the government, passed the
I bouse on the 1st day of February and
I the senate on the 3rd day of July, and
I wa* sent to conference on the 7th day
I of July lost; and, i
I "Whereas, The commercial Interests

I pense awaiting a final settlement of
the question; and,
I "Whereas, The people of the whole
I country, through the public press and
I by petitions .to both houses of congress
I demanded a speedy decision, that the
Industries may, as soon as possible, be
I adjusted to the proposed changes; and,
I •’Whereas, Conferees appointed by
I the two houses to hold a full and free
1 conference over the disagreeing votes
I of the two houses have had the matters
I In dispute and under consideration for
I one month and have failed to come to
any agreement whatever; and,
"Whereas, the house of representa-
I tlves, which, under the constitution of
I the United States, is clothed with the
I exclusive power tb originate bills rals-
[ lng revenue and Is, therefore, clothed
I with the right to pa«w upon all amend-
I ments proposed by the senate, freely
I and without restraint: and,
I "Whereas, the members of the house
I of representatives have not availed
I themselves b£ an opportunity to consid-
I or said amendment or any of them,
I which right under parliamentary law is
[superior to all others: and.
| “Whereas, It Is ourrenty believed that

I therefore, be it
I “Resolved. That It 1s the sense of
I this caucus that the Democratic con-

I should meet in a spirit of liberality, to
I the end that the two house, by equal
I concessions, may ugr^s upon a meas-
I ure which will meet the approval of

I “Resolved, That this caucus stands
[adjourned until 3 o'clock Friday, the
[ hHh Instant, at which time. In case no
[ agreement has been reached. It shall
I reconvene to tnke such further act Jon
[in the premises ns It may deem nec-
| **iry and appropriate; and the chair-
I man of the house caucus is hereby
[ authorized and directed to invite the
| uemocrwdc senators to meet with the
I r? mocra t* of the house at that time in
■ Joint caucus.”
1. Livingston of Georgia offered the
I«Ollowing ftj a fubstltute iwr Mr.-Hry-
[•»’• resolution:
I *2®*°l v «d. That we have unlimited
1 confidence In the house conferees and
lheni to present a tariff bill that
■ will meet the pledges and principles of
| w .' ca mi»lgn and platform of 1832.”
|J B the discussion of these resolutions
I -■•■■'finnan Wilson of the ways and
■m*ine committee aald he was glad of
■an opportunity to meet the Democrats
■ in council, but would not have selected
II? 8 time for the purpose. He did not
ISl”?. ** fortunate Just at *.hls time
■Hf 11 the situation was most - ml ii.
I, * week and this week, that the call
l*°r a caucus should be held over th
MH. in conclusion. Mr. Wils’on said
ihat this was the feeling of all the
hi'use conferees and that they desired
to carry out the programme along the
lines indicated. But ho intimated that
if the present conferees did not repre
sent the -wishes of the Democratic ma
jority of the house they would willingly
give way to others.
Mr. Wilson spoke with great earn
estness and wiito much feeling and his
remarks were greeted with applause.
•Mr. C. R. Breckinridge of Arkansas,
a member of the committee on ways
and means, who has been present at
all the meetings of the Democratic con
ferees, assured the caucus that the
house conferees, had not .set up any
ultimatum on any one schedule as had
ln.*en reported, but th.it they were at
work with their senatorial associates
in the effort to secure an agreement
u.l along the line.
Mr. Bynum and Mr. Livingston sug
gested several changes in their resolu
tions, but before anything definite was
accomplished by the caucus. Speaker
Crisp was recognized and took the floor.
The speaker said that he was glad
that the caucus had been called. It
gave the Democrats an opportunity of
meeting and expressing their- senti
ments. He always attended Demo
cratic caucuses, he said, and was wil
ing to be bound by their decisions.
He thought it inadvisable to adjourn
the cuucus to another fixed day. A
caucus could always be coiled when
ever necessary, If a reassembling of
the caucus was flxed^for Friday next,
it would be equivalent to saying to the
conferees: “If you don’t agree by that
time we shall instruot you what to do.
Are we going *to instruct them to agree
to the senute amendments? If bo, we
might as well do it now. Speaker Crisp
said he was confident that the house
would stay here 30, 60 or even 00 days
rather than go home without securing
the passage of a satisfactory und ac
ceptable-tariff bill. The effect of the
Dynum resolution, if passed, would be
to take the house from behind its con?
ferees and Impress the senate confer
ees with the tact that all. they had to
do would be to wait a week, and the
house Conferees would come to them.
The house conferees, he said, were en
titled to the same support the
had so far given Its conferees. The
conferees were waiting to secure an
agreement, and no other action was nec
essary. -Let them alone. There are
38 men in the senate who favor the
house bill. We all want to go home,
but while we are waiting for the right
kind of a bill we can best serve our
country by staying here. He went on
to say that coal, ore and sugar were
not .the only important items in the cili.
The senate had increased the rates on
almost all of the schedules and many
concessions would be secured on these
if the conferees were permitted to con
tinue thtfir work, die hoped for the
reason stated, that no resolution WOttJd
be passed, inasmuch as Mr. .Wilson
was still hopeful of 1an . t
himself was inclined tto the belief that
the agreement would be made inside or
two weeks and that, too, upon a report
that would pass both houses. •
A moment ater a voice was heard.
What’s -the use of doing anythin*?
Speaker Criap-4W©U, if Its a.greoa1t>le
v n all sides I am ready to. move that
the caucus do now adjourn.
Thereupon Messrs. Bynum and Liv

An Exciting Flurry In Chicago Markets
Caused by th* Drought.
Chicago, Aug. 7.—There was a wild
opening to afi the-grain markets today,
with corn leading and setting the pace
for tho otihers.
The sccno at the start was one of the
moot exciting for years on the board of
trail* rtoor. Sales, especially of corn, wejo
rr.mlc with a total disregard of price, an/I
at quotations ranging, from 14, to UK)
cents ibglier than yesterday's close tor
May, and irom 1% to 6 cents higher than
that day's lost Pgures for September corn.
The uproart did not ccaau after the first
trades had been made, as Is iimally the
cane, but was continuous throughout tho
first hair hour. Frantic bids, outnumber
ing the offerings two to one, were made.
The drought throughout tho West wus
unbroken last night, atxl In this circum
stance lay tno motive tor tho unusual
activity und strength.

JAPAN WILL WIN, '
Tnooma, Wash., Aug. 7.—Capt W.
It. lJrldgi-muii, who 1ms commanded
tho United S(uteH cruiser Raltlmoro for
tho Inst two year*, returned hero on
two months' leave of absence, having
left tlio cruiser ut Chemuluo, Corea,
July 12. Ho regards the oriental war
as an unequal contest, wltli tho odds
greatly favoring Japan, which, ho says,
bus u splendid navy and an army ns
Well equipped ns that of any European
country. Japan, hu thinks, is sure to
win unless Chliut Is given time to maku
war preparations on u gigantic scale.
In ills opinion, thu Japanese govern
ment has been endeavoring to force tho
war Un order to detract attention from
lialernal political dissensions.
EUROPE MAY INTERFERE. '
Loudon, Aug. 7.—Tlio Russian news
papers are abandoning thu Idea of an
amicable understanding between Eng
land uud Russia with respect to Corea,
nnd are publishing mitl-Eugllnh arti
cles. Especially suspicious of England
Is nia Nov-'o Vrcmyn, which declares
that England is secretly supporting
China and tliut Japan will find this out.
Tho London News remarks tlmt tills
language Is not worth much, Inasmuch
as the statements made would not 1st
permitted to jiass tho censorship If
thu Russian government objected to
them.

upon how the Chinese are led. If they
