MILLS BILL MUST PASS.
IT WON'T BE sIDE-TRACKED UNTIL
AFTER THE CONVENTION.

Appropriation Bills Will Be Given
Every Advantage Possible, But Not
to the Detriment of the Tariff Meas
ure-The Republicans Unable to
Reach an Agreement.
WASHINGTON, May 15-Chairman Mills
denied tonight the report that the majority
of the Ways and Means Committee had
determined to side-track the tariff bill after
the close Of the general debate, so as to pass
some of the appropriation bills, leaving the
vote upon the tariff bill TO come after the
st. Louis convention has expressed the
party feeling in favor of tariff reform
Mr.. Mills said that a conference would be
held tomorrow to determine what should
be done about the appropriation bills, but
that the tariff bill would not be side
tracked. He said it would be passed
if possible, before the st. Louis conven-
tion, but that would depend upon
the length of the debate under the five
minutes rule. However, it would certainly
pass. Messrs. Reed, McKinly and Bur
rows, three of the five Republicans on the
Ways and Means Committee, have agreed
upon a substitute for the Mills bill 1t puts
sugar on the free list, with a bounty to the
producer, restores the duties on woods and
woolens as demanded by the representa-
tives of the wool and wooden men, repeals
the taxes on tobacco and alcohol used in the
arts and all special license taxes, but
neither Mr. Kelley and his friends, nor Mr..
Browne of Indiana and his friends, would
agree to such a scheme; Mr.. Kelley because
it does not cut internal taxes more
and Mr. Browne because it does not cut
tariff taxes more. The Republicans of the
House seem to be absolutely unable to agree
upon a tariff bill They will probably

themselves to come to an agreement as yet.

The Methodist Brethren Too Busy
ElectiOneering TO Work.
New YORK, May 14.-At to-day's session
of the Methodist conference Bishop An
drews occupied the presiding officers chair,
and the devotional exercises were conducted
by Rev DIR. Truesdell.
Chaplain McCabe had occasion to again
protest against the non-attendance of dele
gates upon the opening services, as less
than thirty representatives to the confer
ence were in their seats. A delegate, who
was asked to call the delegates in from
the lobbies, where they were assembled in
title knots of four and six, caused consd-
cradle merriment by answering that the
brethren would not come in as they were
busy electioneering. When the work of the
conference, however, began in earnest, the
delegates came troopng in, evidently OK
pecting that the storm of yesterday would be
followed by another to-day. The routine Of
conference, however, was taken up. A
resolution was adopted later in the day pro
viding for the election of a bishop on Tues
daY of next week.
