The Ways and Means Committee Hold ,
Meeting.
Probabilities ~ to Procedure and
BE Given - -Subconmittsos.

Inc douse committee on ways ana means
had a meeting this morning. at which the
subcommittees were announced, and there
was a general desultory discussion OF the
method Of procedure and the policy Of the
committee After the meeting Of the full
committee the democratic members assem-
bled In conference to talk over the situa-
ton privately. 1t was then decided that
there should be meeting tomorrow. at
which 1t is expected decision will be
reached as to whether hearings will be per-
mitted. Another meeting Is called for FRI
day. and then on Monday again the COM
mittee will probably get together and 60
right ahead with their work. Though men,
bers Of the committee are not communica-
tive as to the intention Of the committee.
1t is quite evident that the purpose is to go
straight ahead with their work. 50 AS to
bring in a bill during this special session of
Congress,
For number Of years long and labored
hearings have been held by the various
ways and means committees on the tariff
question, and a great mass OF Information
on all sides Of the question representing the
interests Of the various manufacturers and
the people has been accumulated. This will
render 1t unimportant that a great deal of
time should be given up to hearings by this
committee. Yet there Is no doubt that the
committee Will decide to give q reasonable
time for interested parties to appear and
present their statements and arguments.
The disposition in the House is favorable to
speedy action. "a there Is no doubt that
this is reflected In IL committee. 1t is ex.
pected very generally TT a tariff bill will
be ready to be reported from the COMMITTEES
to the House not later than the LIST of No
vember.
If the House has business to occupy II
from now until that time which. from the
mass Of matter always demanding consid-
GRAFTON and special things requiring atten.
ton by this Congress, 1t IL quite evident
they have, there will be a continuous scs-
sion until about the time of the regular ses
sion. II, however, II should turn out that
they have not enough work TO keep them
busy from now until November there will
probably be a short recess in October, Con
gress to reassemble on the first Monday In
November. There is obviously a determine
ton to have the tariff bill under consiiera
Vember with view of having the whole
matter disposed Of by both houses in Con
gress some time early in the spring.

Ing subcommittees to have charge of the

all the members of the official family ap-
preached on the subject. including Private
Secretary Thurber and two members OF

Of their names. The President IL extremely
averse TO a public discussion OF his health
and his friends are naturally governed by
his well-known wishes In the matter. One
OF them, who is in a position to know, says
that the best refutation o. the --ssportz
about the serious illness OF the President
lies in the fact that he is making prepare
