WASHINGTON, Jan. IA second con-
ference OF the Democratic members of the

night The object Of these meetings il TO
consult and confer with members OF Con-
grcss and others who represent some de-
cided phase Of the tariff question, with the
idea OF preparing bill, which will TO some
extent, at least, meet the conflicting views
Of all parties. The members Of the COM
mittoe feel that they cannot jump in
nlshly and cut down revenues no mat
ter from whence derived, and they av
advancing slowly feeling each step
with the hope that they may arrive at a
judicious conclusion. II has been prac-
tically settled that there must bc consid-
euble reduction in the revenue derived
from wool and wooden goods. The tax viii
be taken of of all kinds Of tobacco except
cigars and cigarettes and Chcroots, effect
ing reduction Of about so, 0,000,0 600. IL
has not yet been settled whether this item
shall be included In the regular hill TO
bo reported by the committee or whether,

form the substance OF a separate, distinct
bill. The reduction in customs duties
will probably not exceed $4,000

ton in the revenue derived from tobacco.
will effect q total reduction of S7b, 900, 900,
