WASHINGTON, Dec. 8.-A resolution
increasing the force of capitol employees
led to considerable discussion in the
house. After an amendment striking
out an extra clerk for the disbursing Of
fee of the house, the resolution was
adopted.
The house went into committee of the
whole to consider the joint resolution
authorizing the appointment of joint
committee to investigate the personel OF
the navy.
The status of resolution, as brought
over, is the securing of quorum, and
this was again undertaken.

Tariff In the Senate.
The Democratic members of the
finance committee of the senate held {;
conference, at which an effort was mad
to come to some conclusion as to the pol
icy to be pursued in the consideration OF
the tariff bill
The senators were slow in reaching
the room, and the conference proper
lasted not more than Is minutes.
1t was decided that comparative
statement should be prepared, showing
the difference between the rates o. tariff
under the Wilson bill and the existing
law, and as soon as this is received the
committee will begin work on the bill
Independent o. the action of the house.
From the tenor Of the remarks of a
leading member of the committee, the
inference is drawn that there may be
numerous changes in the Wilson
bill, when it is reported to the senate,
and it is not without the range of posi-
bilities that the entire principle Of free
raw materials may be abandoned.
The Republicans Organizing.
Senator Sherman, as chairman of the
senate Republican caucus, has an
nounced the membership of the Repub-
hcan advisory committee of the senate,
which is to consist of Senators Allison,
Hale, Aldrich, Cullom, Dolph, Mander-
son, Washburn. Quay and Dubois.
The duties of the committee is indi
Gated by its name. They are to be OF
the same nature as the duties of the
democratic steering committee, though
designation.
1t is understood that the Republicans
of the senate are preparing for an ag-
gressive fight in the senate, and that the
appointments of this committee is the
first step towards organization for it.
