CONFERENCE COMMITTEE ON TIE SENATE TARIFF
BILL.
In the House yesterday, after our report closed,
MI Haskells substitute for Mr.. Hammonds reso-
luton was adopted IL provides that the conterees
on the part Of the House on the conference COM
mittee the Senate tariff bill consider fully the
constitutional objection to said bill as amended
by the Senate, "and to bring the same, together
with the opinion of the House In respect thereto,
before said COMMITTEES on conference, and II neces-
sary In their opinion. after having conferred with
the Senate conferees, said conferees on said COM
mtttee may make report to the House in regard to
said bill herein referred to-" The tariff bill was
then called up, the Senate amendments non-con.
CURED In ana the bill sent to a conference COM
mittee. The cOnferees on the part of the House
are Messrs Kelley, Mckinley, Haskell. Randall
and Carlisle, and on the part OF the Senate Messrs
Morrill,, Sherman, Aldrich, Bayard and Beck.
The prOtectioniStS OF the conference committee
are:-Messrs. Morrill,, Sherman, Aldrich, Kelly,
Haskell and Mckinley, six out OF the ten mem.
bers Mr.. Beck, OF Kentucky, is revenue re-
former. with free trade leanings, and Mr.. Bayard
Is Tor revenue reform, with leanings toward pro-
lection The feeling at the Capitol that the con-
ference managers will agree upon some bill, but
whether both Houses viii sustain the conference
report is another thing upon which many men
have many minds II the Senate bill is amended
by the conference managers so as to increase the
rates on iron, steel and wool, it will meet with
persistent objection from the democrats. On the
other hand, the iron and steel rates are not ad-
vanced, the Ohio and Pennsylvania members will
probably oppose the bill Some very clear headed
members think the tariff bin will fail, and that all
that VII! be gotten through Will be the internal
revenue features OF the Senate BILL which Is after
all the bill passed by the House last year, with
Iurther reduction OF the tax on tobacco and cigars
