It. is generally umlerstool that nearly
all of the twenty-out! who voted
against the resolution will vote in the
house hgainst acceptant"' of the sen-
ate amendments.
An hour before 10 o'clock, the timo
set for the Democratic house caucus,
members begun to arrive at the cup-
Itol, und hasty consultations were
held on the course to he pursued.
At HI o'clock Speaker Crisp and the
conferrees filed out of the speaker's
office mi I look scuts in a body iu the
forward part of the Democratic side.
There was an ominous silence as they
csmt* in. At that time 1.1.1 Democrats
were on the floor. As Mr. Wilson
passed through tho corridor he was
asked its to the result of the confer-
ence in tin; speaker's room but he an-
swered. "I cannot make it known
now."
Chairman llolman called the caucus
• to order promptly and the call for the
meeting was read. The roll call
which followed took some time and
members shifted uneasily for the de-
cisive action ahead.
CHAIRMAN Wll.sov tai.k*.
Chairman Wilson took the Hour im-
mediately after roll call and made a
general statementof the situation, lie
spoke calmly and dispassionately.
Members left their scats and crowded
snout him, listening intently to every
word. He began with a recital of the
difficulties that havo been en-
countered and went, over each
stage of tho situation witli
much detail. lie said thnt each
step had been pursued with an ardent
desire to support with honor the de-
sires of the house to resist what was
regarded as the unreasonable de-
mands of the senate, lie took up the
contested 'schedules, particularly
sugar, coal and iron ore, and reviewed
the difference in conference on these
items, lie s|Ktke of the vast profits to
the sugar trust which would result
from many of these propositions, lie
did not indulgo in tho sliurp criti-
cism thai was expected on the
motives of the senate conferrees. lie

COnfcrrMH for a specific ilnty«on sugar
on the gronntl that under an ail val-
orem system it would be impossible
to tell on account of the invoice meth-
ods' the exact advantage which would
accrue to the sugar trust. He made
the remarkable statement lliut he had
been credibly informed and believed
that the sugar trust had anticipated
the acceptance of the senate sugar
schedule and purchased 8! 12,001),DIM)
worth of raw sugar. If this was true,
he saitl, the profits accruing to the
trust from this investment in advance
of enactment of the senate schedule
would lie at least #10,000,000. lie also
pointed out at length the embarrass-
ment attendant on the efforts to ad-
just the coal and iron schedules.
"The great battle," said Mr. Wil-
son. warming up, -'is between the
American people and the sugar trust.
It is a battle in which the trust has
taken the people by the throat, anil it
will never end until wc throw off the
grip." There was an enthusiastic ap-
plause at this.
Mr. Wilson proceeded to state that
the house conferrees had liecn willing
to concede almost everything except
these vital items of sugar, iron and
coal; that the senate conferrees had
also seemed willing to concede much
and had much t.ie same views, and
were apparently dominted by the
knowledge that if theyco 'ceded what
the representatives were willing to
concede the bill could not pass and
the agreement would be useless.
Mr. Wilson concluded by saying that
he had now become satisfied that it
was either the senate bill or no legis-
lation.
Mr. Montgomery then took the floor
and substantiated what Mr. Wilson
had said as to the details of the con-
ference.
Speaker Crisp followed Mr. Mont-
gomery. He spoke with much spirit
and earnestness, anil soon the caucus
was in a tumult of enthusiasm, round
after round of applause greeted his
remarks He spoke of the critical
situation, and the apparent need to
accept the senate bill, and then, if
need lie, to introduce separate bills
for free sugar, free iron aud free coal.
He believed that it was either "the
senate bill or nothing." He said that
as long as there was a desperate
chance, of securing the concessions
which the house demanded, he was in
favor of standing out, but ho was
now satisfied that Ihe time had come
when further insistence by the liousa
was useless.

Over Their Tariff Hill.
Wasiiixotox. Aug. 15.—When the 1
house met to-day, tive minutes after
the Democratic caucus had adjourned,
there were more members on the fluor
than at any time since the tariff bill
was passed. The anxious public,
which thronged the corridors
beforo the doors were thrown
open, crowded into the galleries
in anticipation of the Hnal scene in
the long tariff battle. The greatest
confusion existed on the floor. Mem- |
bers were standing about in excited
groups discussing tbe situation, the |
general understanding being that j
resolutions to agree to the senate !
amendments and probably to consider i
bills for free coal, iron, sugar and !
barbed wire would be brought in this |
afternoon.
Under the rules Mr. Heard, chair-
man of the committee on the District 1
of Columbia, pending action by the
committee on rules, claimed the day
for the consideration at business re-
ported from the committee on the Dis-
trict of Columbia.

appeared and Mr. Catchings sub- i
initted a report for the immediate con-
sideration of the senate tariff bill, to |
be followed by the separate bills for !

Mr. lteed made a parliamentary ob-
jection to the procedure, claiming
that the tariff bill was not before the
house and indicatod the Republican
intention to tight the bill and report
in every proper way. At the present
time, he said, the senate was propos-

Last Saturday Pardridge took $."i00

ceeded to celebrate in his own whim-
sical way with the result that late in
tiie evening a policeman in plain

his guide, as liis condition was not
such as to cause much joy at the front

W liile lie was at home a more seri-
ous affair happened, however, for it
leaked out by way of the coachman's
news exchange that Mrs. Pardridge
had met with an accident shortly af-
ter her husband's arrival. According
to the servants' gossip Mrs. Pardridge
had fallen down stairs and .sustained
a fracture of the arm. Pardrldge's
son stated that his mother was a crip-

sion in the Washingtonian home.
