then tho conference between tho senate
and house could be resumed. with every
prospect in the Judgment OF tho house
conferecs that a speedy agreement and re-
port could be reached.
II, on the other hand, it was passed,
then the second caucus could accept the
senate bill or take such other action as it
desired. In any event. She house confer
ees feel there would be nothing lost by
waiting for the senate to show what It in
tended TO do. As yet they say, the Hill
resolutloniand similar moves in the senate
are merely menaces, and it is well enough
to wait to SEQ If they become accomplish
cd facts
The Senate Il Waiting.
Meantime the senate ia acquioscent and
is disposed TO remain in state OF inactiv-
ity until the house shall have had an op-
portunity TO explain itself upon the situa-
tion. There is undoubtedly desire ON
the part Of large majority of the Demo
cratic senatoFs-practially all Of them, un
less it may be the Louisiana senators-tO
have the house take possession of the bill
This is due To the general belief in tho
senate that tho house viii accept the sem
ate amendments, and that the senate bill
will thus bosome law and to the fear that
II lilt pllA 0lbull NNNll 40 10 INC dtlhNt
it would be indefinitely postponed, while
on the other hand 10 IS believed that If tho
house should agree TO the senate amend
ments the senate would acquiosce in this
action and waive the technical objections
which might Do raised over the possession
Of the bill.
lt is understood that even Senator HILL
notwithstanding his opposition TO the bill
would bo disposed to accept the favorable
action Of the house as final and TO permit
the bill to go to the president without
raising any parliamentary questions con-
cerning it.
The Hill resolution has had its day in
court has gone TO the calendar and could
not be taken up except upon yoto Of the
senate. IL is also suggested that without
the actual possession Of the bill a motion
for Indefinite postponement would bo out
OF order, ana that the only process by
which the senate could secure possession
would be through motion TO reconsider
its action granting a conference and thon
to ask the house TO return the bill.
There weuld be two difficulties in the
way OF the execution Of this plan. Recon
sideration could not, I'm view of tho lapse
Of time since the granting Of the confer
cnce, be had except by unanimous consent,
and oven with this received and the re-
quest made upon the house the return Of
the bill would depend upon the courtesy
of that body. 1t would therefore seem
that the senate can do nothing with refer
ence to the tariff at the present stage.

NJ IInsiy Action Necessary.


Under these circumstances it was Thought
advisable 60 inform the house fully as 20
the situation and to explain that precipi-
tation i'm accepting the senate bill would
gain nothing
While deliberate action in waiting 20
see what the senate would do might nc
complish much good, it was pointed out
in this connection that the house need be
in no fear of the Hin resolution being
rushed through Mr.. Wilson and his nsso-
ciates have some strong friends in the sem
ate, notably Senators Villas. Gray, Lind
say and others. who could II the occasion
required, insist ON a very complete debate
Of the hin resolution, which might last
from dag 70 day. This the house confer
ees regarded as assuring thom a breath
ing spell and as making it plain that the
house need not rush TO its conclusion.
Entertaining these views the house con-
forccs did not believe that it was necessary
or prudent for tho house caucus this morn
ing to then and thorc pass a resolution to
nc once accept the senate bill. They re
alize that the situation Is so critical that
the question of accepting the senate bill
might come before the caucus and develop
such overwhelming and rosistless strength
that IL would Doe useless 60 oppose.
They were prepared for this emergency
and were ready to accept il if it came.
They would not. however, counsel IL them
selves, and 30 it camo Is would have 20 be
the outgrowth of this spontaneous senti-
mant In the caucus 10 was felt however.
that a dispassionate statomontof Of the case,

Of Its rights to pass tho senate bin by de-
ferring action for day or so, would bring
about q conservative result i'm the caucus
Exactly what that action will be was not
definitely outlined, although the house
conferees felt that it would perhaps be
best for the caucus TO adjourn and wait to
see what the senate did. Then, II need
