Chairman Wll ton and his nssoolnt e house tariff couferree.' cored a victory yesterday when the house Democratic caucus, called with a view ol terminating tlit tariff struggle by instruct ing or advising the house conferred, ad journed without taking any action. Tin effect of this was to leave the house con ferrees to proceed as they saw best. The friends of Mr. Wilson could have passed the Livingston resolution, expressing con fluence, but there was no desire on the part of the supporters of the conferrees to take this course. The sentiment was gen eral that the movement Inaugurated to bring about an acceptance on the senate, bill had resulted iu materially strength? nnlnrr M.ji nt.nrt.ll Inn tninn .nnafu l,ltt The proceedings opened by the lntri duction of a resolution bv Mr. livnui providing for a joint caucus of Democratic senators nnjjl representatives on Friday next in case the conferrees have not by that time reached an agreement. In his explanatory statement, which was a brief one, Mr. Uynum said that al- though there had been a clamor from h part of the press for the house bill, he be lieved that the overwhelming sentiment of the country was for the best possible bill that could be Afffoitrl nnon. Forhiui set?. hV nreftrred tha senate bill to no and as he interpreted the wish of the party It was for a tariff bill and prompt action. lie had no sympathy with the stand taken by some members that It would be better to retain the McKinlej bill than substitute the senate bill for it. Chairman Wilson commented upon It as an unfortunate circumstance that at a crucial point In the negotiations of th conferrees, and at the last critical stage of the conference as well, movements had been started to hold a cnucus over the heads of the house conferrees, so to speak. The house bill had seemed to be accepta ble to the country, he paid, while the sen ate bill bad not. lie believed that if the house conferrees did their duty, and the house its duty, that a bill honorable foi both house and senate and acceptable tc the party and the people would be tho ro. suit. Such a result would not be brought about, he said, by any action that would notify tho senate that if it would hold out to a given dato the house would instruct its conferrees to recede. Mr, Livingston (Ga.) proposed a sub stitute for the Bynum resolution express ing the confidence of the house in Its con ferrees and leaviug the matter entirely ir. their hands. Then followed a discussion of the position held by the senate and the prospects or an ngreement. Mr. Drecklu ridge, of the ways and means committee rose to correct the impression which might he maintained, he said, if not cor rccted, that any ultimatum from the sen ate had been received by the house con- ferrees and opposed by them. Ono of the Louisiarn members argued that speedy action was necessary; that it was plain the senate would not yield, and proceeded to pay a high tribute to Senatot Mills as a pioneer in tariff reform, and said that this conspicuous tariff reformei had personally assured him that it wns the senate bill or nothing, and unless the house soon recognized this all tariff legis lation would fall. Mr. Cooper (Ind.) said senators around Mr. Mills had been trying to create the impression that nothing but the senate bill could pass, and that this might have Us effect on Mr. Mills. These claims were being made by the senators uudei cover. Mr. Cooper said that now that the American peoplo had been Informed oi these senators they had been publicly pit liorled. They would have surrendered al ready, he said, if tho caucus movement had not given them hope that the house was weakening. During this discussion Mr. Bynum of fered to amend his resolution to extend the tlino within which it was designed tc being about action by the conferrees. Something ot a sensation was stirred by the forging to the front of Speaker Crisp when tha general debate was well uudei way. The speech of the speaker was tem perate, but very forcible, and Its logic was so irresistible that at its conclusion Mr. Bynum, the author of the resolution, withdrew his motion. The speaker de clared that it was and should be the pur pose of the Democrats ot the house, a: Democrats, to redeem the pledges they had made to the people. He deprecated the passage of any resolution at this time. The senate had not withdrawn its support from the senate conferrees, and the house should stand by its representatives. No vote ot confidence was needed, while on the other hand the passage ot Mr. By uum's resolution would be a virtual sur render, lie gave it as his opinion that the conferrees could reach an agreement in a couple of weeks at most, hut they should not be harassed by a "backfire" from their own house. The proposition for a joint caucus of the house and senate In case no agreement was reached, the speaker characterized as an abandonment. Pass a resolution to that effect, said he, aud you serve notice on the senate that you want to treat with them, If you do that you might as well hold a joint caucus tomorrow. Mr. Uynum suggested that he would be glad to withdraw bis resolution It Mr Wilson woulsl rise aud say thai an agree meut was iu Mght Mr. Wilson gave no apparent reiugnitiou to Mr. Byuum Th action of the chairman excited no litti comment, a- it w is .,ik u to me.iu a di'd uatlou to ii'jve auy controversy witti Mr. Uynum. Inuuiries were made re garding ine status" ofnegotlatlons upon sugar, coal aud Iron, hut no definite In formation was forthcoming. Finally Mr. Bynhni withdrew his resolution, explain ing that he was satisfied with the repre sentations made.and on motlou of Speaker Crlsti the caucus adjourned. lot tariff conference was entirely sub- ordlwtted to the house caucus, and was devdjd of interesting features. The con ferrals had two brief sessions during the day, and discussed the coal and Iron ore nutations, besides reverting to the sutrar sohedule. The talk, however, served to no purpose, except to emphasize the fact that the disagreement is still unbroken, and that very little if any progress is be ing made. Senate conferrees have re-ex- pressed their coavictlon nam times dur ing the past week that If an agreement is notsoou reached the situation demands the reporting of another disagreement.

This state ment la made upon a positive assertion made by Mr. Finney yesterday, nud which he confirmed last night when several prominent politicians called upon him to ascertain If a report that he had made an announcement to that effect was correct. Mr. Finney gave no special reasons for his withdrawal, simply Intimating that ho had other interests which might seri ously Interfere with him making a cau vnss which the occasion requires. The change In this respect throws the canvass upon tho hnnds of Joseph Wyatt, of town; Bees Bosser, of Mahanoy City, and Robert Peel, of Lost Creek. Following upon the heels of Mr. Finney's withdrawal from the Legisla tive contest comes a report Unit a number ot his friends, backed by encouragement from several very prominent and Infiu entlal Republicans of tho district, have decided to prevail upon him to mako nil effort for the Republican Senatorial nomination. One of the most Influential Republicans of the district said to-day: "It Is true that there Is a movement on foot to Induce Mr. Finney to come out for Senator, now that he has declared himself out of the fight for Legislature. During the - past two days there has been a change which I think will very materially aid Mr. Fin ney should ho consent to run. An effort was made to see him to-dny, but it was found that he had gone to Hnrrlsburg. The situation Is this : McIIenry Wilhelm has withdrawn from the Senatorial field and that leaves Coyle a clear road. Now, It is an indisputahlo fact that there Is a strong feeling ngainst Mr. Coyle nmom,' many Republicans of this district, and they will try to turn heaven nnd earth to bring out some ono to nt least make a fight In tho convention. Those whom I have consulted feel that tho opportunity Is ripe. These Republicans I speak of want an alternntivo, nnd I believe that Mr. Finney would be Just the man for tho emergency." Mr. Finney left Shenandoah for Potts- vllle on an eaily troln this morning and later in the day proceedi tl to Harrlsburg. He will return to-morrow, nnd If he Is to be a candidate for tho Senate it will be probably learned then. It Is well known that Mr. Finney has recently become In. terested lu so many enterprises that his time is pretty well absorbed, and as that caused his withdrawal from the Legisla tlve fight it may deter him from entering tho nrena for the Sonntorlal nomination. However, his return nnd later develop ments In tho reported movomeut will be awaited with an Interest bordering on fover bent. RAILROAD RUMBLINGS. Preparing' for Their Trip Convention.
