THE BILL IN DANGER.
The Conferees Are ReaJy to Abandon
Hope of Agreement.
Washington. Aug. 10.—A crisis In the
tariff a (fears was reported today, botn
In the oren senate and In the secret
councils of the Democratic tariff con
ferees. When the conference closed to
night It was with the understanding
that the meetings would be suspended
for the present. No time was set fur
reassembling the conferees tomorrow
or thereafter, and h was'felLAhat no
further essslons might be necessary in
case the senate acted favorably tomor
row on Senator Hill’s resolution direct
ing tne senate conferees to report the
situation of affairs. What was of most
importance was the feeling expressed
by the house conferees st the close
of the conference that In case the Hill
resolution passed, uud they believed It
would, the conference would be prac
tically relieved of Us work and It would
remain only lor the house to accept
the senate bljl aa s lesser evil, as they
believed, than the McKinley Isw.
Tnese obnclusions were reached after
a day ot intense excitement among the
tariff leaders. The day opened with
the senite proposition for free sugar
still pending before the conference.
Chairman Wilson and dlls house esao-
alartt were satisfied that the tender of
free sugar was not made in good taiin,
and UMy had. tbereture. refuwd the
•entfte conferee, to furniah a poll of the
equate allowing that If the proportion
were accepted it would be a<2opted b>
the aenute and the hill panned. The
poll woe considered as aoon aa the con
ferees convened. ft disclosed thst In
line event of acceptance of the free
sugar amendmnt the bill ae a whole
would be voted agatnat by 38 Re
publicans and by Senators Kyle. Aden
and Petfer (populists) and Calfery and
Blanchard (Democrats-a tout of 13
votes, or sufficient to defeat the bill.
This poll wss made on the her
ment of the senate conferees. The men
accepted It as showing
that tbe tender of th* free sugar
amendment, while made In good faith
by the »enaxe oonfereee, waa a mean,
adopted by the conservative eenators
tor the tmrpose of defeating tariff legls-
Utton aad leaving the McKinley aw
In force. They dls ussed the equation
from thla potnt. the arguments not
lacking very pointed and personal critl*

early In the day by house leaders, who
characterized it as one of the "bluffs"
which had been made of late to de
moralize the house conferees and force
them to yield. Later in the day, how
ever, this reeling guvs way to one of
profound concern over the situation and
the future of the bill. At 2 o’clock the
conferehce. or a remnant ot It, 4gain
assembled, with the Hill resolution and
the exciting debate thereon, as the main
topic among them. All ot the house
men were present, but Senator Jones
was the only senate conferee in attend
ance for any length of time, and it was
sold Senator Vest felt Indisposed to
confer pending the HJU resolution.
Little or no attempt waa made to take
up items or schedule*, the talk being on
the senatorial phases Just developed,
and nd progress was made up 10 5
o'clock, when the conference separated
without fixing a time for resembling.
The house conferees no longer dis
guised the deey concern they felt over
the future of the bill. They had »
rough estimate of the vote cn the Hill
resolution, and they felt that it woull
pass tomorrow. Under these circum
stances they sold nothing could be done
until the resolution was disposed of. If
through some hopeful turn it was de
feated. they said it would leave the con
ference to proceed and the contest
would be carried on for the Wilson bill.
If, however, #t wn* passed It would
practically discontinue the conference.
In that event, the house men elated
with satisfaction that they would still
be bale to avert the complete defeat of
the tariff legislation by having the
h’ouse to agree with the senate bill.
They spoke of this as showing that
while the situation was b.nl it dl.l not
neemsaniv mean the aoteat or ail
their legislation.
Whether the house can adopt this der
nier resort 4a n .pirllsm-ntary question.
Many members of both houses hold to
the oplim n that the bill is In the hands
of the senate nnd the house cannot act
upon the senate bill If It des4red to do
*o until the conferees act. The senate
conrferees slab, regard the situation as
very seiious and they separated from
their house colleagues in no amiable
frame of mind.

HILL'S OUTSPOKEN VIEWS.
He Says ass the Tariff or Adjourn Con-
Cress at Oncea
Washington. Au». 10.—Senator Hill
tonight gave out she following state
ment In regard to the action today In
reference to the tariff bill:
"My object In offering the resolution
today was to expedite the disposition
of ih» tariff measure. Every day’s de
lay Is Injurious to the buslnena Inter
ests of ths country and the bill should
be disposed Of dt once, one way or tne
other. It tiaa now been under consid
eration In conference eommitte for over
a mono* and a further delay Is abso
lutely inexcusable. The conferees
ought to know each other’s minds by
this time, nnd If they cannot agree me
fact of such disagreement should be
reported to the two houses, when. If no
understanding can ba reached upon a
bill, congres sehould promptly adjourn
and give the country u rest. We have
now been In session nearly a whole t
year and have had ample opportunity
to legislate. A senator or a member
who does aot know exactly what he
wan'ts to do on the tariff question after
all this time spent In useless delibera
tion Is unlit to repr. -ent any constit
uency. We have deliberated enough:
we want action. Let tae two house, !
take Ute viii uUt. vt.-ttm W8&S
conferees and proceed to vote n
upon the disagreeing provisions, and
If no agreement can oe reached, let the
whole matter go over until -next ees- |
■ton, and let congresa adjourn to give I
the bvislne«e Interest* of the country a I
chance to recuperate from the present
depression. Congress must arouse from
Us lethargy, nnd should act In accord
ance with public sentiment and not In |
delta nee of It. Either pass a tariff bill
at once or xdjuum and go borne. These
are my sentiments, and I believe they
are the sentiments of nine-tenths of
the people of both parties.”

of their creed which. If enforced, msy
bring temporary preferment to those

A Few of the Dlegruntled Held Forth

Gainesville, Aug. 10.—(Special.)—The
Peop.e’s party held forth last night at
the court house with a very slim at
tendance. it waa it momentous ncr.i-
I r: "i to them, fraught will all the re-
l« ot rescuing our fair land

vitals.
Hon. John firbley of Cobb appeared
as their exponent. He Is evidently one
of the many misled ones Who are hon
est In Whitt they soy. He was treated
with all the courteey any man can re
ceive In a free country. He was not
Interrupted once durinff hip speech of
an hour with applause. He was com
mendable In one respect. In that he
did not abuse the Democratic party.
After 'Mr. Sibley ended his speech,
Mr. A. D. Chandler, u Democrat, wits
Introduced to the audience by Hon. w.
C. Glenn of Atlanta. Amid cheera he
began hla eloquent reply. From the
time tie atepped forth Rw-nsevldent
that the audience was In sympathy
with him, and he was frequently In
terrupted with outbursts of app.wuse.
And we do not wonder at 4t, for tt waa
an intelligent audience, mostly Demo

Mew York. August 10.— R. G. Dun &
Co.’s weekly review of trade will say:
With changes every hour In the pros
pects of the tariff, nnd a decision ex
pected every day, burtness has unpleas
antly resembled gambling. Orders and
purchases have been largely baaed upon
Individual opinions regarding the legla-
bustne** hn* been deferred because the
decision was not yet in the future. The
accurnuialing denmnd. which sumuiattxi
trading and manufacturing within the
past week or two, represents, to a great
extent, needs which have been post
poned, waiting for a. settlement, but
can be postponed mi longer. Thus, both
the ruxh of deferred business In many
lines and the scantiness ot new orders
reaching Into the future reflect an un
natural state ot things which cannot,
be expected to continue, and while the
volume of business Is larger than the
exdstlng Conditions of uncertainty war
rants. it Is In a sense but a shadow cf
the larger business which should come
with the removal of the uncectalnty.
In such circumstances, the present Indi
cations aito of comparatively little
value.
Gold' exports have practically ceased
for a time with settlements for most of
the 90,000,000 pounds of sugar imported
within the past six months and treasury
officials anaWmorf hopeful , counting
upon larger receipts on a3count bf whis
ky. Low as the gold reserve Is, there
appears a slight gain, nnd with .a ces-
s.itl3n of gold exports'the improvement
should be considered during the full.
Whether under new br old duiles, im
ports nnd customs revenue will natu
rally be larger for some time alter n Je-
chdon on the tariff question. There has
appeared of l.ute some demand U»r k »Id

worst. Prtc»» sustain this view, hav
ing cheogufl only in the direct Poo of
wreakn/rt.s and the disappearing demand
for flnftahcd products 1h the main tuo
tar.
The \blurn' of domestic buslnes*
through olMriag houses Is 4.7 per imtfl
smaller thun a year ago and 22.8 per
cent, smaller than In 1892. Tho earn
ings ot the railroads r»*p«jrted for July
are 20.7 per cent, leas than lant year,
with a larger decrease in granger, other
Western, southwestern and Pacific rail
roads.
