CARLISLE ON THE TARIFF BILLS.
Special 70 the Gazette.
WASHINGTON. March ~ Speaker Car.
Isle has been giving his personal stten-
zion to the condition and prospects Of the
revenue deduction problem in the House.
In frank conversation on the result Of
his inquiries the Speaker sad: al am
free to assert fhst l am as confident as
could wish that the Mills bill for revenue
reduction will psss the House. Il am as
, sured some tariff reduction measure will
go on the statute books before this ses-s
sion of Copgr IS adjourns. OF the
character Of the measure which will pass
both Houses cannot speak. ] expect it
will De somewhere in the line Of the COM
mittee bill. The difficulty, from what l
learn, grows out Of
THE CONFLICTING CLAIMS
and interests Of whisky, sugar, wool and
lumber. Some want whisky aud tobacco
to CARR the bulk of the revenue reduc
ton. Others insist on sugar and tobacco,
dhu 90 bOOA as luS lutSIcbtS Vi TIC COn-
stituencies are effected these conflicting
interests, think, will be 40 jasted. Then
the heXt controversy comes on wool.
have my doubts Hhether wool will be
continued on the free list. That seems to
be the stumbling block in the way q man7
Democrats. have never been particularly
determined about wool There are sErong
arguments for and against placing it on
The free list. In my opinion 1t might be
r ported as 1t now stands in the bill and
settled by the Hou e. There is strong
opposition among the farmers TO free
wool. TIE bill maY be modified in this
particular "
THE RANDALL BILL.

er said: "With one material exception
