have charge of the tariff bill ia the senate.
Al q meeting of the committee this morn
ing, Voorhees, announced that purpose.
Another important development of the
committee meeting was the announce
ment of determination On the part of
the Democratic members Of the com mittee
TO take up the tariff question immediately.
VOORHEES, urged the members TO use ali ex-
pedition in considering the question. so as
TO be able 10 report promptly on the bill as
soon as it came from the house. Ii was
suggested that the Democratic members
begin at once to hold daily meetings The
Republican members were assured that
whenever there was good reason for grant
ing hearing to persons interested in the
tariff changes. an opportunity to be heard
would be given. The Wilson bill will be
used as the basis of the senate committee's D
labors, and will be quite closely fol-
lowed. The chairman appoinfed Jones of
Arkansas, Vest aud Mcpherson. Demo-
Gratis, and Allison and Aidrich, Repub-
licans. . subcommittee on the tariff bill.
The investigation will be conducted by
the Democratic members OF the entire
committee as a party organization.
The house ways and means committee
will take up the Wilson biii Monday. 1t
seems TO be iacitly understood that 1t will
not be called up in the house until after
the holidays The Republicans feel they
have won a victory in securing time for
consideration of the bill. Between now
and next Monday the Democratic men,
bers az the COMMITTEES will prepare a
measure for shaking up the estimated de-
ficiency of SO. 0.000. .000 DaIzcli Of Penn
syivania said today that il petroleum were
put on the free list it would break every
oil man in Pennsylvania
The general drift Of opinion among
Democratic members Of the house seems
to be that the tariff bill must be passed,
and as speedily as possible. There are
some who say they win make al at
tempt to have it modified Ia certain points
in the interests of their eonstituents, but.
failing in that, will vote for the bill. 1t is
understood to be the intention not to al
low much time for debate. even il cioture
has to be applied, with the object Of get
ting the measure before the senate as
quickly as possible.
