Of Congress, to which he replied:
II doubt if bill reducing the tariff all

that some sort Of q compromise measure

think it can nuly lie accomplished after a

long and tedious debate, ana there Is evl-
dence that some Of it will pIoyc to be rath-

"What do you anticipate will be the IA
turo of the compromise bill that will even
