To ascertain how lhe members ielt unthc

some modification OF opinion hV repre-
Sentalives since last session. IL was Ger.
tain If there had not been some change

mentors no tax reduction could
be had except by the aid
not propose any experiments, hut If,
, upon Inquiry, | find there Is reason to
think a Oil proposing moderate re-
{ ductlon could pass this session,
shall certainly bring on such "a
! Dill In answer To further
questioning, he said i. was not unlikely
That the discussion OF the legislation
. necessary 10 carry the Mexican treaty
into effect would open up the general
tariff question. The new treaty with
p spain, IN relation "a the commerce. OF
b lho United States with Cuba
o. aud Porto Rico, would be
, discussed in executive session
1 uy the senate and would not be likely tu
lead 20 any open discussion of the tariff
question. As to The other question, ne
said ne understood IL was proposed IN
3 push through the apps priatiDu bills at

grant legislation and this would take up
most of the limo of the session.

Republicans alike are declined
To attempt anything like q

aid IL was possible some attempt
D. would bc made this SESSION to remedy
q 'ortdu irregularities ia the present

n result. With respect 90 aly
general revision, he said even SHOULD
u they all agree such revision should hi

l. tails they would hud such diiiercnc,
y OF opinion that months would be needle,
Il in which T. complete the work. II,
d was equally we'll convinced uOthinl

e down internal revenue taxes, because
q should such attempt be made II woul,
preipitate the whole question of tn,

II ho secretary OF the treasury, Mr.
Carlisle expressed satisfaction with IN
positlon taken by the secretary OF
