WASHINGTON, D. G., May S.-Leadins
senators were chary to-day about ex.
pressing themselves upon the subject
Of the revised tariff bill.
Senator Hill did not CHIN not to have
read the bill, but he said he had moth.
ing to say on tho subject beyond what
he had previously said, and he init.
mated that no did not consider the bill
acceptable 80 long as it should contain
any provision for an income tax.
Senator Jones, who has assumed tho
burden OF preparing the amendments,
said that he believed the bill would be
passed by Democratic votes, and that 1t
would be sent back to the house sooner
than most people believed. The finance
committee, said he, have every con-
fidence OF enough Democratic votes to
putt through.
Senator Smith spoke approvingly OF

March next. He thought tho former
the wiser course to pursue"
Senator Piats said: "If the Wilson bill
has been called an abomination this
should be called bill OF shame. II it
had not been for the power OF the sugar

would have been single protective
duty in tho bill, but even the Demo.
cratic members OF tho finance commit

the duties which would enable 1t to
make more money than under the Nc
kinley law and hold the semblauce OF
protection from all other industries. It
is bill without principle, pressed by
party without policy"
Senators Mills, Berry and Faulkner
conferred with the house members dur
ing the day concerning tho tariff sItua.
ton. The feeling OF opposition to tho
amendments was very marked among
Democratic members, as they regarded
the changos as stop toward protection,
and as rotreat from the revenue re-
form lines OF the Wilson bill.
Mr.. Montgomery, OF Kentucky, a
member OF tho ways and means COM
mittee, said the amendments looked
