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.

WhIOcOmb of the illinola Cen tral rbud this noon made the following uu then tic statement 4n regard. to the lorest tires in the northern part of fthe »l:tte. Trains from the south have readhed 'the llrs>t bridge north of Phil* lliw. about one mile nartli of «the eta- Ubn. khls bridge having toeen damaged by tire. Nearly the whole city of Pnil- llps Is deatroyed, Including the eaW and planing mills and box factory of the Jbhn R. Davis Lumber Company and Shaw's tannery. About thirty houses ure left standing in Phillips; a great many settklorw along the lino have 1‘ost their bouses and all of their belongings. The fires In the forests are etUI burn ing, but some rain fell last night and the fires are not spreading. The load id estimated at several millions of dollars.

The Big Elk river, which runs through Phillips, af forded a haven of refuge to many of tho inhabitants.
