MACON, GA., THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 9. 1694. ■ Copy, 5 IciiU. the struggle WILL END TODAY The Conferee* Have About Concluded to Bring Their Work to a Close. TO EITHER AGREE OR DISAGREE If Is Thought Tl»e»t *h« Concession* Will H«Made by the One or the Other hide on Coni nnd Sager and So Report* Washington, Aug. 8;—The “tomor row,” upoa which the tariff conferees hare l>ecn (or some weeks pnnU-ug au agreement, at last gives promise of ful filment. When the tariff conferees adjourned at a few minutes before t> o'clock tonight, It was with the under standing that at the session tomorrow morning nil the details should be ar ranged -tad the Republicans wore called upon In the afternoon and in formed of What their Democratic col leagues had dome. One of the most prominent managers on the part of the senate made the emphatic statement that tomorrow would see the end of .the conference, and that oj. nightfall there would be either an agreement or a gen eral break-up of the conference. But one thing, he said, could postpone the result any longer. Should the house conferees agree to an agreement and the arrangement of the details con sume such time as to run the work over Into the next day, that would be permitted, but otherwise the close of tomorrow would witness the end of the labors of the conferees on the tariff hill. So little is yet to be accomplished. koweve.% that there Is e^ery likelihood that the Republicans can be called In ft an early hour and there would be no siu-prlse if the senate should have the report of the conferees at a reasonably early hour in the afternoon. Thu bitch font still lemaius for settlement is iron * ri: and coal. So far as the principle is concerned, these items seem to be disposed of finally; one of .them is to he free and the other made dutiable. These matters were the subject of three distinct changes today. At • 3 o'clock In the afternoon it was decided that iron ore should be made free ab solutely, and that coul should retain me rate of 40 cents, a ion fixed by the •>enate for a pi icxl of -five yeavsrr at the end of which time..it was to be free. Subsequently, a proposition was made to fix a sliding scale that should reduce the duty a specific percentage each year. This wat antagonized, but the house men. anxlou3 to get as much In the way of concession as possible, persisted and the result was that this matter- was left until tomorrow morn ing for final decision. I At tli? conclusion of the conference I all the members from both sides of the capitol appeared to be In a very happy frame of mind, and there appeared to 1 he very good reason for their state ments that an agreement would soon he made. One of the managers on the part of t!i“ H-nate said that if th»*iv was an agreement the sugar schedule would remain as it was published In these d'-Kpatches Friday of last week, to-wit; 40 per cent on raw sugar and one-fiftli of a cent differential on refined sugar. This senator also said that he had never of a proposition Clat gained some credence two or three days ago, to the effect that the basis of collection of the duty on refined sugar was to be the duty | collected on 106 pounds of raw sugar for | every 100 pounds of refined sugar. As far i ** sugar is concerned, it has cut no flg- I ure in the conference, and is looked upon by the conferees os settled. Lead ore, of which there baa been a nsat deal *df quiet talk. Is said to be In the same way. An effort was made in some auarters to have the nouse rate, which greatly re duced the duties, restored; but this was I not done.' As Indicated In these dtl- j pitches come days ago, the senate rate on tobacco will probably stand, and wh*s- ky. which was disposed of by JJIe con- | •****• some days ago, will be put back to JJJ W o- gallon provided for in the house | hill, with the proviso, however, that the I bonded period may be extended from five I ®lfht years, by the payment, after I 'be end of five years, of an additional tax I or 5 cent* per gallon per year. It is also I understood that the senate provisions on I wroolen% cotton goods and the metal I •cbedule have been cut into but little I vompared with the cuts upon which the I bouse Insisted. I arc indications that the reason I tne conferees did not finally settle the |b*al and iron ore tonight, was that the I J* 1 **** members might have an oppor- I (unity of consulting with their colleagues I to see how the proposition submitted in I conference was received. The latent |P r °P d *jtipn is to pat iron onr on QM fit# ■ “** •nd reduce the duty on coal 5 cents I f *. nnum tmtil It gradually reaches the IH?) a Proposition that will not be ■ nearly so acceptable as the other, which ■ leaves U untouched for five years. A ■ careful canvass of the aenate showed the ■ aerne conferees that they could not touch |2»J t without Imperilling the whole bill, I■i.lz lron ore might be tampered with |wKhout having that disastrous effect ■mlr.i-nt member of the o>.is»i f was called upon by one of the < l » this evening for advice as to how ' a °d his colleagues should act m this “*ter, and was told that the day for advice had passed. The conferee at no«r, this senator said, bring In an: 1 of a report they pleased, ond th l, ^w°uM vote upon It. Tomorrow *vll “ te this report, and it does no follow that the senate wll The conferees will meet a I ^ but no one can tell tonight Just the Republican associates will be mttej to the secrets on the confer- • room, n may be, however, tbit th* JD conferees may have more trouhl * they anticipate in removing the c»b ions of tn^r house colleagues to cer- .... things that transpired tn the cooi- room today. J* ampin ground for many con ** rumors that were flying about cool and Iroc. At one stage Drcceeding? the senate conferees the bull by the boras end toW the ronferees CTey could have either ,r iron ore free, and the house ac cepted coal. Then began the canvass of rhe conservatives to see wh*t would he ihe result oT this compromise. It was seen at once that such, a scheme doomed the bill to failure and made such men as Faulkiier, Pugff, Gorman and Camden Indignant. The senate conferees went back and told fheir associates that they oould not grant the concession, and de spair once more reigned In the cdmmltte; room. Almost in despair, the house men finally accepted free iron ore, as n salvo for their Injuries, but subseqjencry in sisted that they shojld have that which was originally given them. This was the condition of affairs when the conference adjourned for the nl?7it. That a report of some kind will be* forth coming tomorrow Is <0(host a certainty. What Its fate will be, the next few hojrs will tell. What the policy of the Repub licans -will be cannot now be toretolu. This element of the senate, arfttve affl alert to embrace every opportunity to de feat the bill, has not been Idle. touring the afternoon Bess'.on of the senate the leaders were in conferenc. but they have succeeded in keeping strictly secret ah that.they did. Tonight quite a gathering of the leaders met at 8enat«w McMillan's residence nr dinner, aud It is safe to assume that the political side of the tariff fight was dlsouss'ed between tne .courses. When asked tonight what the policy of the minority would be, Mr. Aldrich, the Re publican leader, remarked that they had no policy and would have none um.i tljey knew what the Democrats In tended to do. With a smile. Senator Al drich observed that the Republicans would be about the capitol tomorrow and keep their eyes open. On it being known that the bounty on this year's sugar crop* Is not to bo given, there Is much concern among Democrats to know what course Messrs. Caffery and Blanchard will assume to-wari the bill. Mr. Caffery declines to talk, but rests on the speech he made recently in the senate, when he declared It would be hfi? duty to consider the Interests ot his. state before he did that of the party at large. This is interpreted as being a thro; ,t that he will not support the bill. Both the Louisiana senators are receiving large numbers of telegrams urging tnem to vote agulnst the bill unless the bounty is given, and the two leading Democratic organs In New Orleans this morning an nounced that the. two senators would, under the circumstances, be Justified In voting against the bill. Messrs. Kyle and Allen are also botn quoted as saying th.it they could not Indorse the bill Eu less it provided for a bounty on sugar. In view of the fact the four votes are essential to the success or the bill, how they will cast their ballots, will have much to do with the future of tariff re form In this country. - Mr. Jones ' declared that the bill will pais, but there are others who hesitate to make any prophecy. Mr. Brice Is in clined to think that the senate will not accept the conference report if it mate rially charges the senate bill, but says the senate will amend the bill by moving to recede, and after so perfecting It will send it back to the house and let them pass it. Mr. Brice is of the opinion that if tne bill comes into the hands of- the sonab again, it wfll rcAise to grant another conference; but that the bin will, after being perfected, pass and become a law. Others anticipate trouble ana expect some delay in debate. Mr. Jones and all his associates on the conference held that a meeting to Indefi nitely postpone or to lay the conferenc* report on the table will not be In order, nnd that this motion can’t oe made. Un der, the senate ruics, a majority can make any ruling it pleases, and if thero should be a majority litr favor or postponing the conference report, it wojiid bo an easy matter to sustain an appeal from the decision of the chairman. It Is this vote that Is feared, and the apparent indif ference of the conservatives to the report that may be made only adds to the un easiness of those in cnarge o? the bill. If the bill should get into the senate to* mofrow night or Friday morning. It Is likely that whatever action tlio senate takes would be speedy and certain. THE LOBBYISTS MUST BEWARE.

This shows conclusively that, not taking Into consideration tho in crease in tho white • >te sinco tho cen sus of 1890, and s’ 1 -wing nothing for the large numb" of negroes in thoso counties who, nough Republicans, It is well known us between Kolb *and the Democrats they! would vote every, lime with the latter, even had mi tho Republican .negroes remained away, front 'the polls, O.Uea* majority in those nine conn ties could not have been, less than lB.OOu. From this it Is shown that, even admitting everything that Kolb claims, it Is clear that Insteud of be- lng elected, Kolb Is defeated (by not less than 13,000, But Kolb's claim Is absurd. Many negroes openly voted the Domocraitlo ticket. This was particularly tho oaso in Kolb’s old county (Barbonr) and In hn ol.l homo (Eufaula). It 1* natural that they shauldhavedono so and It would have been very strango If they; did not. im the recent rlbta in Jefferson county .the governor used the whole power of the stale-to-protect the ne gro against the murderous assaults of those who were supporters of Kolb., This act ton of the governor was* uni versally Indorsed by the Democratlo press, und speakers of the opposition 1 ' as universally condemned tho gov ernor for his a of I >n. If -th.- negrif* under such tfp'cufiustancea had tint sup ported the Dembcratlo party they would have shown that they did not possess even ordinary gratltudo. Gov ernor Oaten wan open and avowed Inf iris Indorsement of the action of Gov ernor Jones, and naturally 'the negroes vt'ted for hlm». This man Kolb has ,always cried fraud. He, according to his own admis sion, has frequently been a party to fraudulent practices in Elections. Ho .’lxHurnes that the Democrats uso the same me.i<nn to obtain bhelr majority; that he admit having used himself. The .tw\> counties not hoard from yes terday reported today. One, Baldwin, give a small majority for Oa/tes, in the other, Covington, about offset It with a majority for Kolb. This settles th<» Democratic majority at 26,000. 1 The legislature will stand: Senate, 24!' Democrat* and 9 opposition; house, 63 Dfrriocrafk and 38 opposition. Kolb, the defeated candidate for gov- ernvr, Was 'published 11 oard claiming that ho was elected by 18,000 majority.
