' Washington, Sept. 28. The demo cratic tariff revision, begun early last April, and which has been constantly before congress since that time, op proached Ha final stages early today. when the full conference committee named by senate and house to adjust their differences, met to adopt their final report on the bill. For over two and a half weeks the eight democratic, members, of the con ference committee had been at work adjusting differences and compromis ing disputed questions. When the six republicans were called In today, it was only to give their formr.l expres-! slon of opinion upon tLu t'eport which the democratls had prepared. . As the tariff bill went Into the con ference committee. It carried more than 670 amendments made by the . senate, and which the house refused to accept All of these had been settled early today, with the exception of the Clarke amendment proposing a tax on trading In cotton futures. In many of ita more Important : amendments to the bill, the senate was successful In convincing the conferees that the change should be accepted. These Included the heavy . Increase In the tax rate on large Incomes; the postponement of the date when free raw wool and , reduced - du ties on woolen goods should be come effective, . so that trade may readjust Itself; trie transfer to the free liat of pig Iron, ferro managa nese ore. and cheap grades of Iron; and the reduction of duties on food i products and many other articles. As the tariff bill was prepared for presentation to the house . today by Chairman Underwood of the house conferees. It contained practically all of the reductions of duty that Presl dent Wilson had Insisted 'were part of the democratic program; and made sweeping reductions In the tariff on nearly all articles of general use. The conference report, under sltua- tlun existing In congress, had to go flrsjt to the house for approval before It could be laid before the senate. - It ia asserted there will be no exec utlve opposition to the separation from the tariff bill of tha provision . Imposing taxes on cotton futures. As the cotton provision la not essential to the enactment of tariff legislation ' the president Is said to have assented to the action, which It m understood the conferees have taken, In cutting out this provision and leaving it to be . treated In special legislation in the future. la tha form In which the bill will go to President Wilson for his signa ture. It carries many changes from the original Underwood bill passed by the . house Inst May. The conferenoe re port made public today, shows that while the senate gave way on many of Ita amendments In the two weeks tight In the conference committee, many changes were retained and the genural average of rates of the house bill wns reduced about four per cent ad valorem.

The agreement had not worked to the sat isfactlon of any of the five powers con cerned Great Britain, France, Ger many, Russia and Japan.

Gazette-News Bureau, Wyatt Building, Washington, Sept. 29. The decision of the executive com mittee ot the progressive party to place candidates in the Held in every congressional district in next year's congressional elections is an important political development and means the ultimate disappearance of the repub lican party, if the plan is adhered to in 1914 Mild for the national campaign in 1916, In opinion of prominent dem ocratic politicians highly connected with the administration. While, according to these democrat ic leaders, the program of the pro gressive party to determinedly main tain their national organization and eld forces will be additional water on the wheel of the democratic mill, It will mean that eventually, possibly by the time of the next presidential cam paign, a new political situation must be met by the democratic party. That situation, according to the views ex- , pressed, would constitute a single op position party Instead nf a split re- . publican party as at present; it being assumed that the progressives will ul timately absorb a large part of the old epubllcan party. t ,.

"Nothing has happened," is the way Representative Hlnebaugh put It, "to show that we have not a thoroughly organized party. The election In Maine showed that we are very much alive. If we can poll 6500 votes In the old Blaine district It is evident that there are at least 2,600,000 pro gressives in the country. Our plan Is to get our men on state and county tickets and to get them In the field campaigning, thereby greatly Increas ing our lieutenants for the congres sional elections in 1914."

The Pennsylvania railroad's decision to dispose of Its anthracite cool prop erties Is regarded here as an Impor tant anil-trust victory for the demor eratlc administration. Attorney Gen eral McReynolds today spoke of the Pennsylvania's action as In the high est degree significant.
