While no agreement was reached and while none was absolutely promised by the conferees, it was the general opinion that the meeting of the president and Nr. Fielding had been indicative of a solution. Nego- tintions, which were practically at an end when. Mr. Pepper retuned to Washington, from Ottawa, several weeks ago, have been resumed and every effort will be made by President Taft. and the state dipariment, and, it Was said, officials of the Canadian government, to avert a battle over the tarifl schedules. President Taft following the confers ence, caused this statement to be given out : "The president and Mr. Fielding were in conference in respect {o the tariff, to-day, for several hours, No conclusion was resched but the sit- uation remains that of friendly nego- tations." ; The president, according to those in close touch with him, is seeking for' some way in which to interpret the tariff law, for some quid pro quo on which to base an agreement with the dominion.
