There Is a great deal OF feeling among
the Southern members about the pro-
posed channe In the rate Of bounty on
sugar between eighty and ninety polari-
scope test. They claim that Il Is con
trary to the rules Of both houses for the
conferrees 10 make such change In
an item on which both houses had
agreed and Mr. Carlisle will make this
point against the item In the Senate.
II Is claimed by the Republicans,

proposed change In bounty; and be.

that the Committee on Rules will bring

the immediate consideration of the re-
port and vote on its adoption after
few hours debate. The report will uu-
doubtedly pass the House. Mr.. NedrIng-
haus Of Maryland stated that he will vote
against the report, but so far as known
there are no other Republican members,

the conclusion Of the cOnferTees, who
will place themselves on record as op-
posed 70 It, They will simply content
themselves with making vigorous pro-
test while the bill is under considera-

cided not to make more than a formal
protest and TO vote against the adoption

confeTTees on the part Of the House,
said this afternoon that the Democrats
