When the ftfiittt? met Tuesday, Senator Brown* of Nebraska, nought (o have adoptm! the joint resolution directing the Secretary of State to transmit to the Governors of the va rious States, copies of the revolution providing for ? constitutional amend ment, ftuthorUiug the levying of an income tux, but under objection from Senator Keau, consideration was postponed. The Senate adjourned till Friday. The tariff bill was hoisted above the bickerings of congressional con ferees, and transferred bodily from the Capitol to the White House. I Deadlocked because of the attitude of Hcpresentative Payne, who appar I ently has become convinced that he is iu the minority, the confcreoa abandoned the uhuuI afternoon ses sion. Senator Aldrich and Speaker Cannon repaired to the White House i>oKt haste to consult with President Taft, literally taking tho tariff bill with them. ? ? ? ? ! ? i Better progress was made Wednes day by the tftriftconferees thnn on ?ny other day since the really trouble^ some disputes were readied. No trace of the ill-feeling which was manifest* cd on Monday was apparent iu the proceedings Wednesday. Before schedules were taken up tho couferees discussed "briefly what re ports could be made at the conference Wednesday night pn the subjects of coal, lumber, links, oil and iron ore, but no effort was made to flx rates upon any of these articles. It was evident that the Senate and House, conferees were still fr* apart. Sev eral subjects passed over in former conferences then were token up. The entire zinc schedule was ad justed. Spelter was made dutiable at 1 3-8 cents per pound, a reduction frbm the Senate rate of 1 1-2 cents and an increaso from the House of 1 cent. All of the Senate differentials were adopted.- Zinc sheets will be dutiable at 1 3-4 cents, land sheets coated or plated with nickel or other ?metal at 2 cents. ? ? ? ? After a session of little more than half an hour Friday, the Senate ad journed until Monday, which is a day earlier than would have been possible under the unanimous agreement for sessions only on each third day while the tariff bill is in conference. The date was moved up in the, hope that the conference report on the tariff bill might be in shape to bo presented by Monday. . Senator Culbertson presented -a' brief statement showing the record of the Democratic party in the Senate on the Payne-Aldrieh tariff bill. He asked for the printing of a series of tables showing the votes of the Demo cratic members on all the more im portant questions before the Senate in connection with the tariff in doing so, he made a brief explanation. "An impression seems to have been created in some quarters," he said, "that in their action on the tariff bill, which is now in conference, the Democrats of the Senate havo been divided and have often voted with the protectionist majority." He then presented the record to show this im pression to be unfounded. ? - ? ? r ? - The hide question was settled and unsettled Saturday and while there seemed little doubt thpt eventually ?hides will fall among the unprotected articles on the tariff bill, the contest over their status cannot be regarded as closed. When the Conferees ad journed for luncheon several of them said that it had been decided that hides should go on the free list. Sat urday night the same conferees de clare that hides will be free, but that that question has not been decided of ficially, < \'i None of the questions made prom inent throughout the country by Pres ident Taft's interest in them has been Adjusted. The conferee^ spent a large part of Sunday m wrestling with these problems. I From a careful analysis of state ments made by Senate and House leaders, taken in connection with the attitude of President Taft, the Indi cations are that the conference rates rn'the important questions still in >ute will be as follows: \ Sides, free ; oil, free ; lumber, rough, $1.25 a thousand feet, with proportionate differentials; coal, 45 eenta a ton without the House re ciprocal clause; iron ore, 15 cents a ton; print paper,^$3^75 a ton. Hides will be put on the1 free list if boots and shoes and other manufac tures of leather are reduced below i|ie rates fixed by the House bill. Un less the advocates of free hides are alio to carry out this bargain the wholo programme is to be catfed off. A decision to this effect was reached ; by the tariff conferees Monday. Senator Aldrich has informed Sen ators from Northwestern 8tates that he will not consent to the abolition of tha duty on hides unless there is a material eut in rates on boots, shoes and other leather goods. Senators from cattle-raising tSate* insist that tha only way consumes^ can get any benefit from the removal of the pro tection on hides will be by correapon and shoes and harneaa. if Senator Simmona is somewhat ex ereised^over the rumor that tha New England intersts on tlx conference committee are seeking to placate the W?Ura demand for further reduo (ion of tho' duties oil the courser grades of rot toil goods, Hindi' in Southern mills, while giving up no |M?rt of the inorvatrd duties on the liner graded' made in New Knglaud. Thii Senator hold kcvcthI conference's Monday with members of tho confer ence coruuiittes and guve plain . and 'vigorous expression to hia resentment of such h? HUh discrimination. Of couras, in prcttem .conditions, it is iuipossjbloto predict what will hop pen, but Mr. Hi rontons nays ho has as- J suraucea that this scTieuie will nut be successful if vigorous opposition in the committee ran prevent <?.
