now on the hill will !r in constant danger
of amendment, and the house Democratic
leaders have urged upon all their colleagues
the absolute necessity Of their continual
presence until tie final vote II taken.
Chairman Wilson said: 'it is OF the ut
most importance that every Democratic
member I've present i'm the house from this
time until the passage Of the tariff bill.
Thus far the discussion has been limited to
general debate. bu, from this time forward
the actual voting Vn amendments will pro-

II will probably happen. as in the case
sf the Mckinley bill, that the special crier

! il would seem that this particular opposi-
tion lacks both cohesion and the n,,mer-
