CONFEREES MEET
Danger ol Tariff BUI Failing
In Senate.
RANGE FACTION UP IN ARMS,
Western Senators Renew Insurrection
Against Free Hides, Declaring That
Leather Compromise Contains a
Joker and Want Corrections Made,
President Taft Indorses Language
of Leather Schedule.
Washington, Aug. 3. Tnrlft legisla
tion has been dolaycd "again by tho
hldo and loather question, and as a
result tho conferees woro cnllcd to
gether onco moro. WoHtorn aonntorB
complain that tho leather schedule, as
arranged by tho conferees with tho
approval of tho president, Is unfair
to tho states interested Jin protected
hldoB. It was agreed that Bomo ac
tion must bo taken to concllluto them
if tho conference roport Is to bo
adopted.
As UBiial Senator Aldrich and his
associates moved about to boo if thero
had been any chango of Houtlmont,
Tho difficulty appeared to bo a lack
of understanding botweon tho con
ferees, tho president and Uio western
senators concerning tho condition un
der which tho latter consented to
hjdes being placed on tho frco list
Tho westerners claimed that they had
been led to bollovo that all boots and
shoes of lcathor were to bo dutiable
at 10 per cont and that all harness
wae to bo dutlablo at 20 per cont.
When tho conforonco roport wnB Is
sued It nppcarod that tho reductions
applied only to articles manufactured
In chlof part of tho class of hides
which woro to bo mndo froo of duty.
Tho reductions would not apply to
shoes of calf skin or to harness which
was of calf skin.
Conferees Hold Session.
Senator Aldrich was among thoso
who cnllcd at tho Whito House Whan
ho returned to tho capltol ho Issued a
cnll for a Bcssion of tho conferees, in
cluding tho houso Republican mem
bers. Tho western sonators wero
ushored Into tho conforonco chamber
Bjngly, or In pairs. Audlonces wero
given to Senators Boyburn, Warren,
Cnrtor, Drown, Borah and Bourno.
Senator Aldrich and Ilopresontntlvo
Payno stated unomcjnlly thnt tho lan
guage employed in adjusting tho hide
controversy was not a "Joker." An
effort was mado to roach an under
standing with tho men fiom tho cattlo
raising states. They said that
tho word had gone out ovor tho west
that froe hides had been clen for
chcapor shoos and hnrness and that
their constituents would not bo satis
fied with any other sottlomont. Son
ators Brown and Borah both had let
tors from tho president boarlng upon
tho alleged "Jokor." Tho senntors
read those letters to tho conferees.
Tho lcttor to Senator Boran wns In
rosponso to ono ho had written, Tho
president nssorted Jn this letter thnt
tho leather and hldo schcdulo as
adopted by tho conferees was Just aa
ho had Indorsed It. Iio said that his
understanding wns thnt tho reduction
on leather goods should bo mndo on
thoso manufactures horotoforo dutia
ble in hides.
Continuing, tho president argued
thnt farmers woar shoos mndo of tho
kind of hides that would pay tho low
duty and thnt practically nil hnrness
is mndo from dutlablo leather and
not from free lenthor.
Contend President Is In Error.
Tho contention or tno "rango" sen
ntors is that the president Is in or
Tor, After tho westerners had depart
ed tho conferees discussed wns of
meeting tho situation. Representative
McCall (Mass.) opposed applying tho
low rates on boots nnd shoes to prod
ucts other thnn those which would bo
affected by tho abolition of tho duty
on hldos. Others arguod that tho
westerners had been embarrassed by
tho misunderstanding to such an ox
tent thnt thoy could not bo oxpocted
to glvo their support to tho report on
terms other than thoso generally un
derstood nt tho tlmo Jt wns agreed to.
It wns realized that those senators,
nugmonted' by "progressive Republic
ans" opposed to tho bill, could defent
tho roport If thoy wero so Inclined.
It was conceded thnt In ordor to se
cure tho passage of tho roport by a
safo mnjorlty tho low rates on boots
nnd shoes and hamosB would have to
be applied to calf skin products ns
well ns to leather from a class of
hides that aro now dutiable, but
which are mado free by tho roport.
No program had been reached posi
tively as to how this result shall bo
accomplished. Tho plan favored Ja to
mako an agreomont with tno western
sonators that this will bo done, after
tho pas.sag of the report, by tho adop
tion of a concurrent resolution Instruct
ing the onrolling dorks of tho two
houses to mako alterations in tho par
agraph relating to hides. Errors
havo boen discovered In tho maximum
and minimum provi&lon and such a
resolution must bo adopted to mako
tho corrections. It Is proposed to
make tho" resolution cover tho para
graph relating to hidos as woll as
to the administrative matter.
House Passes the Bill."
Tho house passed tho conference ro
port ou the tariff bill by a voto of 135
to 1S3 Twenty Republicans voted
agalnht the adoption of the roport and
two Democrats, Brougsnrd and Entop
Inal of Louisiana, votsd for U.

SITUATION IN SPAIN IMPROVING
Threatened General Strike at Madrid
Apparently Averted.
Paris, Aug. 3. Tho internal situa
tion in Spain Booms to bo Improved.
Barcelona haB omcrged from her Iso
lation nnd tho threatened general
strike In Madrid appears to havo been
aerted, at least temporarily.
Tho first train out or Catalonia's
cnpital city since tho beginning of tho
tragic oventB thero reached tho
French frontier, bringing consorod
and plnlnly Inexact newspaper ac
counts of tho insurrection nnd of tho
conditions In tho outlying parts of
Cntalonla. Tho icst Is Bhrouded in
mystery. Several of tho smnller cities
nro roporten to bo In tho hnnds of tho
revolutionists and many villages navo
proclaimed tho district a republic.
Troops are bolng steadily distributed
throughout tho rebellious districts,
nnd bnrrlng now serious outbreaks,
tho Insurrectionists eventually will be
forced to capitulate.
RoportB from Snn Felice, Palanios
and Casa do la Solva says that those
places nro still In tho hnnds of tho
revolutionaries. It is rumored that
tho Spanish gunboat Temorarlo has
left for San Felice to aid tho troops
in restoring order.
In striking contrast with tho cstl
mato of tho victims of tho disorders,
given by tho Barcelona newspapers,
which nrrlved at Corboro, 1b ono of
5,000, emnnatlng from prjvnto advlce3
recelvod from Madrid. This latter es
timate, however, Is labelled "perhaps
exaggerated."

OSAKA FIRESWEPT
Jap Oily Loses 20,000 Buildings
In Twenty-live-Hour Blaze,
HOSPITALS ABE FILLED UP.
Thousands Are Without Homes and
Great Suffering Prevails Several
Insurance Companies Will Probably
Fall as Result of Paying Heavy
Losses Area of Four Miles Square
Swept Over by Fierce Flames.
Osaka, Japan, Aug. 2. Confusion
still prevails bore as a result of Satur
day's disastrous lire. Thousands or
porsons nro homeless and hunger is
staring many or them in the race
Outside citleB and towns nro gen
erously sending In contributions to bo
UBed in alleviating tho Bufferings of
tho homeless and destitute. The num
ber of casualties has not yet been de
termined, but hundreds of Injured per
sons nro crowding tho hospitals.
Tho latest oBtlmntea are that 20,000
buildings wero destroyed, these In
cluding tho banks, tho Stock exchange,
tho musoum, government ofllflces and
factories. Whllo at present It Is Im
possible accurately to Btato tho losses,
thoso aro given roughly at several
million yon. It Is fenred that Bomo
of tho Insurance companies will rail as
a result or tho heavy Iosscb thoy will
havo to pay.
Tho conflagration lasted moro than
twenty-flvo hours and tho burned sec
tion presents n deplorable sight. Tho
stroets of tho city aro very narrow
nnd tho houses wore mostly of wood
construction. Under a strong breeze,
the buildings woro easy prey for tho
flames, which Jumped from ono to an
other with great rapidity. Tho fire
men fought valiantly against the odd3
of lack of water and high wind nnd
many of them fell unconscious whllo
working bravely nt their posts. Had
not tho water supply beon curtailed
by tho existing drought it is believed
tho flro would have been quenched
without great damage.
Tho belongings of the people who
wero able to save anything from their
burning homos aro piled In groat
heaps along tho railroad tracks from
Osakn to Kobe. In the gray of tho
dawn thousands of persons, heavily
laden with household effects, wero to
bo Been fleeing across tho numerous
canal bridges and away from tho flro.
An area of over four miles square,
containing some or tho city's hand
somest structures, Including tho
Buddhist tomple, tho lnrgost In tho
world, was entirely burned over bo
foro tho flro was brought under con
trol. Tho Stock exchange, which was
one of tho most Important in this
country, wns entirely destroyed. This
loss, It is believed, will tend consid
erably to dislocate tho business or
Osnka, which, with its manufacturing
concerns, is ono of tho chler commer
cial cities of Japan.
