WASHINGTON. July The personnel Of
the house oonferress on the tariff bill is
as yet largely u matter Of speculation.
There are II Democratic Nom bers of the
committee. Speaker Crisp says he has
reached no conclusion az TO the mem ber-
ship of the committee, and the decision Is
entirely with him.
II Is understood that he viii not go out
side Of that committee. but win endeavor
to appoint men as conferrees who are
heartily In accord with the original Will
son bill. There are some Of the Demo
cratic members Of the ways and means
COMMITTEES who are not regarded a. en-
tireiy loyal s---s A.
IL Is understood that those appointed
will be expected to fight for the house
bill. Chairman Wilson demands 10, and
there are reasons for believing that the
speaker Is in entire sympathy with him.

Chairman Wilson and majority of the
mem bers Of the house They are tariff
reformers. and II Is the general impress

reached with them
There is q feeling among the Demo.

jority vote In the senate are now working
their horoscope on the house, and are al
ready prophesying its defeat by that body.

bill will be sent to the president for his
approval, and the indications are that
when finally acted upon by the two houses
IL will ne found substantially in the form
In which IL left the senate.
The talk about the senate surrendering
to the house and restoring the bill to the
form In which 10 was passed by the last
named body is wild aud silly. That
there will be changes made by the con-
ference committee there can be no doubt.
but that the senate will agree to strike

their votes is highly improbable.
The reasons that operated TO make a
majority vf the Democratic senators vote
for bill viii they do not approve In
many of It's important features will be a.
potent when the bill comes from the con-
ference committee. Those reasons must
be recognized by the house I'm the settle
ment of the disputed questions. IL the bill
is to reach the statute book.
