Republican Caucus.

Republican Caucus.
WASHINGTON, Jan. pa caucus Of
Republican representatives was held in
the chamber OF the House yesterday az
ternoon. to decide upon plan of action
regarding tariff. One hundred and
thirty Representatives were present,
aud the proceedings were marked with
a unanimity o; spirit aud action that is
seldom known in party conferences.
For a week past the assertion has been
made and repeated that Republicans
were divided as to the wisdom of
adopting the bill proposed ny the Ways
and Means Committee, and that Demo-
cratic free.traders could avail them
selves of Republican dissensions to de.
feat the passage of protection bill.
The action Of the caucus Of to-day shows
that this story was without foundation.
After the caucus was organized Kelly,
Chairman of Ways and Means, said he
wished to direct the attention Of mem.
bers to the tariff bill as to schedules
aud classifcations, as the bill follows
the commission bill. considering the
brief time allotted to the commission
for its work. He regarded the bill IS
admirable. There were several
inaccuracies in the commission bill
which probably resulted from the
haste with which it was pref AIRED.
Different schs dules were allotted
TO che various public c2mmittees, and
in some cases it was impossible for
full commission. owing to the advance
in science, art and manufactures. Since
the present tariff was created it was
necessary to make new classitications
and to rearrange schedules. Mckinley
said every Republican member of the
committee favored the bill, aud voted
to report i. to the House. Haskell, Of
Kansas, followed with long effective
speech in favor Of the bill He said that
with one exception the committee had
reduced in the aggregate the rates in
every schedule. He estimated that the
bill, as reported, reduced du lies below
the present rates S25. 900, 900, and these
reductions were made on articles of
prime necessities. Sugars had been re.
duced between Sl2, 600. 600 and Sl5,-
900, 900, and wollen goods, silks and
metals about So, 600, 600 each, and other
reductions Of a more sweeping charac-
ter. He had made careful examina-
tion of the present tariff, and discovered
that 1000 changes had been made In
it's provisions s;uce i,s enactment by the
Treasury rulings. decisions of courts,
etc. The intention Of the law had been
destroyed in many particulars, appa-
rently in the interest @; free trade and
ruin.
