WASHINGTON, Sopt. 13— Chair- man Underwood, of the Ways and Means Uommittee. and A. Mitchell Palmer, both of whom represent States where the Steel Trust has ex tensive plants. Insist that a duty shall be placed on ferro-manganeiKj. This is the product controlled absolutely In this country by the Bteel Trust. The Independents must buy It abroad and pay the duty. The Item was dis cussed by the tariff conferees again to-day. The House members demand a duty on the ground that the revenue Is needed. The Senate insists upon keep Ing the product on the free list be cause the Steel Trust refuses to sell it to the independents. The House rate of 15 per cent is equivalent to $8 a ton. The high protective Aldrich- Payne law assesses a duty of only $2.50 a ton. Senate conferees are asking why the House Insists so keenly on this Item of vital Importance to the Steel Trust, and the House conferees say "we need the revenue." The Indica tions. after to-day's session of the committee, were that a small duty would be the compromise. Wine Fight Settled. The big fight between the Califor nia. Ohio and Missouri wine growers on the liquor schedule was settle 1 to-day by eliminating entirely tne Senate amendment. The proposition Is to he referred to a Joint commit tee of the Finance and Wnys and Means Committees, with Instructions to report a bill at the next session dealing with the whole problem.

This subject was up for discussion the greater part of the day. The Senate made a reclassification creat ing a differential of 2 1-2 per cent as between plain and colored threads, yarns and clothe. No conclusion was reached on the cotton schedule. Wheat Clause Debated. The disputed question of the coun tervailing duty on wheat was dis cussed and then passed over, each side standing firm. Shortly after A o'clock to-night the conferees completed the cotton and flr.x schedules with the exception of the paragraph covering the rates on threads and yarns used in the manu facture of cotton cloths and on cloth* .themselves. The rates on dockings were in creased slightly over those made by the Senate, which were a little In ex cess of the House provisions.

The members of this uni me musi cal organization hold the opinion that the church music of to-day is badly tainted with operatic, secular ami ragtime strains, and they are sotting forth with no inconsiderable seat to demonstrate that the old-time c.'iuri h music of their forefathers id the best, after alt. Modern musical composi tion, they maintain, serves to diive away Instead of to promote religion and religious feeling. They retmarsed yesterday with all the fervor and spirit of the camp meeting days many of the songs that .are contained In their hymnal, n book compiled especially for their own use. They employ the so-called four- note system which was originated by their ancestors before musical Instru ments in churches came into vogue In the South. The majority of the songs they sing were contained in the Sa cred Harp book compiled by B. F. White in 1844. With slight revisions and additions, this is the hymnal used I to-day.

Not a few of them, in fact, are instructors in the more modern music, but they wish to ; preserve the old melodies that their fathers sang years ago.” The rapid growth of the organiza tion. which had its birth in Atlanta thirteen years ago. has rendered the care of the large conventions a serl- I ous problem and caused the introdue- ! tion of a resolution yesterday by M. j D Farris, one of the founders, In J which it was proposed to divide the ' I expense of the convention up among I the districts represented Instead of leaving It all for tho convention city.
