Hale gave notice that he would call IL up eacly to-

Some Representatives, seem 10 believe that
quorum-seven members--Of the Ways and Means
Committee will deny themselves hodoy recess
and continue work on the Tariff bill. but more or
them believe that nothing Of ths sort will happen
and that no progress will be made during
the recess of Congress. lt Is no
secret that three members OF the
committee-Messrs. Carlisle, Morrison snd
Tucker--would much prefer 10 tariff legislation at
this session than any on the line of the Tariff Com
missions recommendations. All of them favored tho
holiday recess. and are disncliued 10 hasten tho
work of the committee. Three others-Messrs Dun
nell HubDei and Russcll-aso voted for the recess.
1t Is we'll understood that the first two will on no
account remain in Washington during the recess.
owing to the Senatorial elections in their re-
speclive States, in which both have deep
