The rnrsR urSl.

wAsuINoToN, D. c., July A.-sena
tor Beck, who is member of the vi
nance Committee, thinks there will be nc
\ leg islation on ihe tariff at the prese nj
sess ION OF Congress. he said, in discuss
| ing this matter, that the Senate sub.
Committee would be able to report their
bill to the full committee within ten.
days, and week later |. could be re.
ported to the Senate. The Republicans
be thinks, Will pass their substitute for
the Mills bill. Then the matter will 20
to Conference Committee and this com.
mitlee, for the sake of appearance, would
be z iven week or 90 to lock horns and
demonstrate that they cannot agree.
In explaining his reasons for not cast
ing his vote on the Mills bill, Represen-
tatiVe Foran, of Ohio, said to q Post re-
porter that he withheld his vote for the
reason that II would not have changed
the result. "Had there been a tie," iaid
Mr.. FoTan, ~ would have voted IN the
negative. As It was, the question was
simply one Of greater or smaller majori-
ty, aud, therefore, did not antagonize
my Democratic brethren" Touching a
bill the Senate may sub :titute for that
of the House, Mr. Foran said there was
an understanding among Protection
40 " WuAb AuGI NOulu 0Os
1.-THE two points we want to see touched
upon" said Foran, "are wool and tin.
If the Senate Is Wiso and desires to have
bill pass it can secure sufficient sup
port from our side of the House The
duty on wool might be reduced one half
favor that. Then there should be .
corr spending reduction in wooden goods;
that would only be right. The Mills bill
puts wool on the free list and leaves the
duty ON woolen goods, clear discrimi.
nation In favor Of the manufacturer.
"Tin should DO properly protected. Our
production OF tin 10 very small, Of course,
bnt II is q great mis- AXE to throw the
manufacture Of all oar roofing mAteria
into hands of the Welsh Plate workers.
The Mills bill puts tin on the free list,
and II that becomes law they will put q
thin coating Of tin on sheet iron and
flood our market with all the roofing
metal we can use, and that is no incon-
siderable amount. Thus q great home
industry would be utterly destroyed. If
the Senate will give us goo1 bill, with
wool and tin plate properly protected, q
sufficient number Of Democrats will vote
for It to put II through the House and
make a law Of it."
A WOOL GROWERS OPINION.
PITTsBURG, July 2S.-Herman Doefer,
who has 150 900 sheep on his rancho In
San Jose County, California, said to-day
that free wool would kill his business
and that the removal OF the tariff would
induce him at once to sell out to the
highest bidder. He says that two thirds
Of the wool-growers of the country and
particularly in California hold the same
views Mr.. Doefer was returning from
Washington, where he used all the In
fluence he could command to defeat the
