The Tariff Bill Discussed and Party Action
Agreed Upon-OPPOsitiOn to- the Iron
Schedule.
WASHINGTON, Feb l4.-An informal con-
ference of Republican Senators was held
this morning for the purpose of discussing
the general situation in view of the early
passage of the tariff bill by the Senate. TIL
gel al programme agreed upon some days
ago by the Caucus Committee was approved,
aud it was decided to invite 8 conference OF
the Republicans of the House, either through
Joint caucus or by a Caucus Committee OF
each body, for the purpose of deciding upon
some plan by which action on the tariff pill
can be reached and its final passage secured.
During the discussion several Senators
took occasion to express great dissatisfaction
with the iron schedule rs it now stands in
the Senate bill, on the ground that its en-
actment would affect the iron interests OF
Pennsylvania, Ohio and New Jersey. 1t is
understood two or three Senators distinctly
announced they deem it their duty to vote
against the bill upon its final passage unless
the alleged Objectionable features of this
schedule are materially modified.
