The Attitude of the Republicans Ap-
parently Unchanged.

The Attitude of the Republicans Ap-
parently Unchanged.
WASHINGTON, May 2l.-At meeting of
tho Way5and Means Committee this morn
ing, it was agreed between the majority
and minority that the House should not
enter upon consideration of the tariff bill
for amendment before Wednesday, action
after that day depending upon the result of
the Republican caucus tomorrow night.
TAKING THEIR TIME.
The Democratic members of the Commit
tee on Ways and Means have not as yet dis
posed Of any of the large number of amend
ments to the tariff bill which have been
handed in since the last caucus. Arguments
and representations have been heard from
about score of members upon amendments
offered by them, and the committee will
continue to hear these statements till the
amendments have been finally acted upon.
Mr.. Mills said to-day that i'll his opinion the
present week should be devoted by the
House to consideration of the appropriation
bills. The probability of such a course
being followed warrants the members of the
committee in acting more deliberately on
the amendments before reporting, and the
present indications are that a caucus will
not be called for this purpose before the
end Of the week, if then.
THE REPUBLICANS.
There does not appear to be much change
in the condition of affairs on tue Republi-
can side Of the House. Consultations are in
progress constantly among the members of
the State delegations, the res Its of
which are expected to manifest them
selves at the general conference to be
held tomorrow night, but it cannot be
learned that the opposition to the accept
ance Of Mr.. Mills pfoposjtion to take the
vote Immediately upon the tariff bill has
lost strength
