For come days there has been talk OF a
compromise between the friends OF the Nor
risor tariff bill ana iis opponents in the
democratic party by which, In view oil Ger
tain concessions TO be made to the WOOL IN
tereste, the vote Of the wool men should be
given In favor OF the amended Morrison
bill. Il is understood tonight that this
proposed compromise has fallen through
and tho Morrison bill must take its chances
on its own merits. AS nearly as can be
learned tho failure OF the talked OF compro-
cling the demands OF tho wool
mon with tho concessions which
the friends of the Morrison bill
we're Wiling 70 make. The latter IL Is IN
dcratond, approached the subject oil con-
cession somewhat in this Wise: Wool, they
say, has suffered reduction OF about 10
per cent. BY the tariff act OF 1883, end there
wonld be some reason for com plaiat OF I'M
iust determination against this particular
interest If IL shonld be included in the
further reduction OF 20 per cent. proposed
by the Morrison bill. They could sec their
way clear TO exemptipg wool from the oper'
ation of this further reduction, leaving the
rates on 1t redu ED 10 per cent. oeio% 'nos se
Of 1867, provided the wool men would vote
for The Morrison bill amended la this man
ner. To this proposition 1t Is understood,
the latter replied they were not willing 70
submit one wrong for the sake
OF admitting one greater. They
would not admit by voting for =
bill .sus amended that the wrong commit
-sd IN 1888 was right; they would vote Tor
the Morrison bill II the rates % 1917 ca
wool were restored; otherwise they pro-
posed that every tub should stand on liz
own bottom aud said the friends OF the
Morrison bill would have toget along Win
out them. Tho matter came to a decisive
point to-day when Geddes, representing the
wool interests, went TO sec Morrison and
laid the n!timatum OF his faction before
him. Morrison informed him the house
had voted down proposition 10 restore the
old rate on wool, and that he could not
consent 10 such q proposition, and added
he was doubtful even whether ne coulu
either entertain the proposition 30 exempt
wool from the 20 per cent. reduction pro-
posed in his bill. Hurd and other members
OF the waya and means committee, who "ere
present az this conference, II ouch II may
be called. agreed with Morrison and ex-
pressed similar opinions. In view OF this
failure to effect compromise the demo.
cratic opponents OF the bill are asserting
tonight their opinion that the Morrison
bill will be defeated by striking out the en-
acting clause. The programme with re-.
gard 70 the method OF defeating the Dill
has, however. been changed, and Instead OF
a motion to strike out coming from the re-
publican side 1t will be msde by demo-
crnt, p -1b,bly eisher by Eaton or Converse.
IL 10 thought the movement In opposition
30 the bill will be strengthened by such
course and the republican opponents TO
the measure, with this In view, will have
an opportunity OF making the political
capital which taking the lead In
Opposition 70 the bill would give them.
The friends of the Morrison ill, on The
other hand, say the motion TO strike ous
this cnacting clause, IL made, will be de-
fested, and the bill, with some amend
ments, perhaps, but practically with all its
present features retained. will pass the
house. Some OF them think that Morrison
has made mistake In closing tho general
debate on the bill 30 soon, as In their opip-
ion. the debate gains friends for the meas.
