WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-During the first

- ,,as received from the Senate announc-
g the massage of the tariff bill with
amendments, and by direction of the
s-aaker 1t was referred to the committee
on ways and means
.1rths the ways aud means committee
Ia a session. The purpose was to discuss
- +raatmsnt of the Senate amendments
- ~ +be tariff bill, and how the entire session
1eas IN he consumed. As the bill itself had
e. coached the committee no formal
noDcInsiops la0U could be noted, and the
1roceediugs were entirely confined TO
Fl,aneraI discussion. On one point there
sSear,ed 10 be practical agreement, and that
was that the amendments snoulu De con
s;Jered by the committee instead OF acced-
inc at once to the request Of the Senate for
q Conference. As to how much time should
- eeIIotted to that proceeding there seemed
- be diversity of opinion, but there was q
vronounced disposition on both the repub-
fcan and democratic sides to hasten the
action in the committee as much as pos
sible.
TIRE CHIEF POINTS OF DIFFERENCE.
The chief matters where trouble is autici-
mated is in regard to sugar and binding
twine There is no difference as to what
should be done, but there is good deal OF
difference as 10 the method OF dong It,
There is no doubt but an agreement Will De

WHEN IT GOES INTO EFFECT.
The date upon which the bill when en-
acted into law shall take effect was also
discussed, but without result, peyond the
davelopment of a strong individu ual belief
that the date fixed by the Senate, Oct. /
was too early to admit of final action on the
hin and its distribution among the customs
officers of the country.
The committee will meet again tomorrow n
and proceed formally to consider the bill
aud amendments, which were referred to Il
by the House soon after the committee
adjourned
DEMOCRATS MAY DELAY 1T.
1t is said by some democratic members
thas the willingness with which their party
associates will lend themselves to the repub-
hcan efforts to hasten the fina
disposition of the bill is conditiona
upon the programme which II
to be adopted by the republicans in the
House for the remainder of the session, anC
that if it should be attempted to pass the
threatened resolution to interfere with the
Ohio districts as established by the las,
gerrymander OF to force through other
pronounced PARTISAN measures resort will
be had to all parliamentary means tx
ohstruct the tariff bill.
REQUESTS FOR HEARINGS.
Numerous requests have already beer
made to Senator Aldrich of the conferee'
appointed by the Senate on the tariff bill
for hearings before the conference commit
tee; and several delegations representing
various interests are reported to have beer
appointed to visit Washington and appear
before the conference. Senator Aldrict
says such aproceeding would be in violation
Of all precedents of congress, and he has M
idea that suoh an innovation as is thus pro
posed would be tolerated for moment by hi
colleagues. As far as no is concerned be
unalterably opposed to granting hearings
II any person or interest desires to plac'
before the conferees any information o.
argument on any subject it may be done b,
written brief, and the communication will
receive due consideration. Senator AldricI
believes that the bill will be in conference
not longer than four days.
