Washington Sept. 26.-The contcrecs on the
Tariff bill succeeded in settling their final differ
cnces and finishing up their ten-days' labor late
this afternoon, and tho YGSrt which they signed
laid before the SQSe in time to br read
partially through before adjournment. Major No
Kinlcy, the chairman of the House Committee OF
Conference had hoped 10 avoid the loss Of several
hours by obtaining unanimous consent TO dispense
with the reading of the report in full at the clerks
desk as the whole Of it will necessarily appear
in to-nOrrow's issue of The Congressional Record
But Mr. McMilin, Of Tennessee the ranking MI
nority conferee, dema nded that the whole text no
read, after failure to force thc consideration of
the report over Until next Monday. Mr. Mckinley
will call up the Tariff measure in its newest form
Immediately after tho reading of the journal to-
morrow and there is little doubt that the previous
question will bc ordered, and 4 vote taken on tho
adoption of the report some time during the after
noon. Mr.. Mcilillin took the trouble to announce
that the minority in tho House would offer no nm
usual opposition to speedy action, and, If the same
policy is followed in the senate, tIe bill in its
amended form will go to the President next 1ncs-
day or Wednesday. Adjournment will undonbt-
cdy follow few days later
