convention Of the association at Austin,
Texas, told st. Louis Republican re-
porter the other day that the loss of cat

range from s TO 20 per cent, which is
considered very small loss by the
stockmen. The sheep suffered more, es-
pecially those brought from Texas last
fall, a large number of which died in
drovrs. The Stsckmen of Minnesota
have favorable reports from their ranges,
the hard winter having had very little
effect on the cattle. The loss through

Yesterday afternoon a police officer
found an aged man, named James

THE TARIFF BILL.
I'm the way OF its Pass.
age-Ths situation Discussed

ton 70 the SENATE Bill.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 2l.-The pros
poets of tariff legislation are still in
volved in about as much obscurity as
ever, despite the passage of the Senate
bill. 1t should be understood that this
state of affairs results not so much from
any uncertainty as to whether ma
jority Of the House would vote for or
against the bill, as from the uncertaint.
whether or not majority will ever get
chance to vote upon the bill at all.
1t is, of course, difficult for most people
to realize that majority of the House,
unless it includes two-thirds of the ell
tire membership Of that body, is, on
matters like the one now pending, at
the mercy Of the minority, Therefore it
is that the success of the Senate bill or
any other tariff bill depends on the re-
moval of certain grave parliamentary
obstacles.
Several prominent Republican mem
bers havejbeen busyhll day studying the
details of new scheme to overcome
the parliamentary difficulties which
confront the Tariff bill without IA resort
TO the expedient of changing the rules,
which is so Objectionable to many. The
libraries of the House have been ran
sacked to find precedent for the pro
posed action, hut thus far, it is under
stood, without success, the most that
can be said on that point beng that
there is no contrary rule or precedent.
As the Democratic leaders have in
some manner been apprised of the new
scheme, there is no reason for keeping
it secret.
While Republicans are divided in
opinion upon the question AS t" whether
the tariff revision amendments proposed
by the Senate to the Internal Revenue
bill are an invasion Of the constitutional
prerogative of the House, "a majority
of them hold that such is the case, and
as the history of the past shows, this /,
matter about which that body is eX
=; tremely sensitive.
A large majority of the Republicans
e however, still insist that the Senate bill
f will not do as it stands, and good
: many of them boldly and openly de
u clare th;tt no legislation at all is prefer
able to it. A few extreme protectionist
