ASKING FOR A CAUCUS.
Washington. Joily 2£.—Keuresentanve
Springer of Illinois has prepared a call
for a caucus of the house DenjpcratB to
consider what action shall be taKcn re
garding the tariff bill. The following la
the full text of the call:
William S. riollman, Chairman of Cau
cus Committee—Hear Sir: l h> uiMcr-
s'gncd Democratic member or the house
of (representatives resportlully request
in the event no agreement nas been
reached by the conferees of the tariff bill
by Tuesday next, the Blit Ih»t., that you
call a caucus of the Democratic members
of the house to meet ht 3 p. m. of that
day to consider what action should :>e
taken in order to secure the early passage
of the tariff bill.
The call was circulated about five min
utes before adjournment and was signed
at 2:30 o'clock by a dozen or more mem
bers.
Washington, July 28.—In wi attempt
to bring about party unity on the tariff
bill, the Democratic conferees of the
senate and hbuso took time by the fore
lock today and held o meeting for the
purpose of discussing title chances of
untying the knot. It was decided by
these gentlemen that_ the formal con
ference should begin'on Monday next
and Invitations were sent to the Repub
lican conferees to meet their Democrat
ic brethren at 1 o’clock Monday.
The Democratic majorities were (n
session for two hours Only, and while
they were one and all reticent to a
sphynx-like degree, there was enough
in their very evasive nnswera to ques
tions to Indicate that nothtng had seen
done. Indeed, the house conferees'inti
mated that They would not recede in
the least from the provisions of the
house bill, and while no one believes
that this wiu be adhered to with un
swerving consistency, it Indicates that
the house managers may not be brought
to the point of exchanging concessions
for some days. Some reason for she
apparent Arm stand of the house ptfjpw
is afforded in the fact that Mr. etch
ings of Mississippi, one of the leaders
in his body, talked about the tariff
situation with .the president lihis morn
ing. the result of which wan communi
cated lo the conferees. What the pres
ident said rests a secret with the few
There is* <me thin* about Mr. Cleve
land, however, that the conferee* have
not been able to learn, and that is
whether he will sign the.bill if it re
mains practically ns passed by the sen
ate. There have been rumors that the
president would veto the 'pill if it pre
serves that character, and again it is
reported that he wbuid, for party pur
poses. allow the bill to become a law
under the ten days, constltuttonnl limit,
thus showing his disapproval by not
signing it. Those who have investigated
these reports have obilned no light,
and they say the president’s position-u
too uncertain even for conjecture.
If the conferee did nothing else to
day. they came to one important agree
ment, or rather were thoroughly agreed
In that particular. They were unani
mous that this should be the final con
ference and tha't no report shall be
made to the respeotl/ve amuses until the
differences are adjusted in such a way
as to secure the adoption of itbe recom*
menda-ttbns. which means, of course,
tliut the bill wbuld be sent to the presi
dent. Tills, while apparently inconsist
ent with the expressed determination of
I the house managers to stand firm on
, their bin. is nevertheless a fact, and it
i shows that the Democratic conferees
realize that the situation Is critical and
' that a happy butcome rests with, them
selves alone. As a Democratic leader
expressed it, “The conferees will not
give up the attempt to arrive a't an
agreement If they have to remain in
Beacon until the 4th of March, when
the Fifty-thin! congress expires.”
The intimation made by the .rentle-
nrnn above quoted, that congress will
remain in sesslbn until March 4 unless
a satisfactory agreement is reached, will
be fiercely combatted by a great many
influential members of the house.
The desire to find a basis of agree
ment that will be fairly satisfactory to
all concerned finds a strong expression
In the movement Inaugurated by Mr.
Springer of Illinois today to secure a
caucus.on Tuesday afternoon next to
ccnj#.der what action should bo taken
to secure the early passage of a tariff
bill in the event that no agreement has
been reached by the conferees by that
time. The call for the caucus was cir
culated only a few minutes before the
house adjourned and at that time 11
contained a dozen br more signatures.
Mr. Springer believes .that a sufficient
number of signatures can be secured
on Monday next to Insure a caucus on
the date sdt In the call. It may be said
In this connection that the preparation
of ihe call is understood not to have
b*tn made with the sancUon of the
speaker and some of the more extreme
Democrats in the house, who say they
wil. be satisfied with nothing less than
tne Wilson Mil. whb are understood to
differ very strongly from Mr. Springer
as xo the advisability of holding a cau
cus untJ] fimo formal report shall be
presented to the house from the con
ference committee.

the support of the Injunction; that a.

“On Sunday, the 15th of July, 1894,
we left <Macon for Washington city for
the purposo of dladharging our duties
as skevohed during the last meeting
l had with your honorable body. We,
arrived Jn Washington city on the
morning of Hho 10on ineta/nt, and early,
tha't day had a most cordial Interview
wHfli the honorable secretary of thoTffi
terior. W-o invoked hla uesiauinco in
our behalf, and I beg to state that we
feel undear the most lasting obldg^tibne,
not only to him, but also to the othes
represontaUvo yentlemen from Geor
gia, who#e mi mes I shall SMattott, latei
on in this report.
“Tlhe secretary, of tho Interior al
once set about to procure an anfer-
'vlew wl'Uh the president, and on ‘the
next morning, itlh* 17th d-netanX, at 9:50
o'clock, we met the president at. the
White Houne. On this occusion wq
were accompanied by the secretary* of
the In'terlor. •Benator Wad ah and ltexpre-
Hen'UUlves >BI;tck, Lester and Twite, Mr.
Maddox being detained by ooimnltteQ
business and Mr. Turner bolng en-
guged in Important business with the
conference committee. Mr. /Turner,
however, expressed Ihimself as will hi a
to assist us, und I feel Quito e&bnflderal
that ho will do so. Gen. Gordon, was Out
of the aity, but wo ttfterwurdsghad q
personal interview with hhn, and he
assured us that ho would see tlhc pres
ident 4n our behadf. •
“Tho president received us quite cor
dially. Benulor Wuiah wiia our spokes
man, and urged !tho preHidont mm*
-Ally, to oomo Ito 'Macon during tho first
week of tho fair. The president replied
In substance that ho Iwid received many
inVIrations to como to Georgia', and
he felt limt It was almost a du/ty foq
him to (accept our (avftatlon. * Hd
stated, however, ttiat It was impossible
now to toll what public obligations
might provent him from coming. He
requested, however, that wo give him
the names of the gentlemen with wfl*>m
he sfhouid oommunlciUUr, Indicating that
the matton was on# ho would keep In
mind. Wo left the president vory much
encouraged. Ay
“Wo do not feel authorized in stat
ing to you (Unlit t/iio president, will cen
talnlj oome, but wo feel quite oonildenl
that If there is noliiing in tho wuy*rt
ofilctal duties to prevent him he will
oome.
“We then called upon tho vice presi
dent of -tho United tfuaes and was re
ceived by him quito cordially. His
reply was not so encouraging us that
of the president, btrt ho stated that If
ho could como he would certainly do
HO.
“We then made aji engagement to
meet 'the secretary of tho treasury,
which' meeting wto accomplished
through the assiduous offoru of the
secretary of ihe Interior, und on tho
next morning, Wednesday, at It
o'clock* we met Mr. Secretary CnnHsle
and tendered him an invitation to come
to 'the fair. Ifo assured us positively
that ho would ecrtkinly coino unless lie
was detained in Wu^li'lngton by the
president.
“Wo then repaired to* the capltol
building . and were Introduced, to
Messrs. N. L. Wilson, Thomas B«
Uetnl of Maine und JuHum Caesar Bur
roughs Of Michigan, and tendered titieni
invftajolona ‘to com# 'to the fair. They,
replied in substance that 'the time Indi
cated -wan so close to tho November
elections 'that It would bo quito out of
the question for 'thorn to como. They,
expressed 1 hems elves us highly grati
fied at the compliment of tho Invitation
and begged to assure us that if it was
an off-year in politics ‘they would 'do
very gkul to accept our invitation.
“I think, upon the whole, that our
visit to WVsblngton will bring much
good fruit to tho fair. Tho matter has
been advertised extensively from one
end of tho country to tho other. /Tho
press was very kind, and wo beg to
assure you thut wo feel ve^y mudi en-
oourjged. In this regard we cunnot
ontlt to way that the Georgia repre-
•uMUlns and senators and the sec
retary of tho Interior are entitled to
the gratitude of every person con
nected with -the fhlr. They are exceed
ing y courteous, kind and actlvj la
their efforts to aid us In the furtherance
of our purpose, and we trust that theHl
endeavors will meet with a cordial
i*-q# fr<»m i i.-i •'-•Miin'iiLiy.
