important amendments TO the senate bill,
began upon the more important changer
yesterday. They have practically agreed
to accept the senate anAndment striking
out the administrative feature of the
house bill. accepting Secretary Carlisle's
intim alton that 10 might be better TO be-
gin the administration Of the new law
under an aot that had already been con-
strued by the court.
The period OF time that will be occu
pied by the confertees cannot he stated
with any degree Of accuracy. That will
be dsteYmi ined by cirou instances which
cannot be forssssn. The conference on
the Mckinley bill covered 10 days. The
present conference 10 not likely 70 be OF
shorter duration and will proba bly, ex-
tend over a longer period.
II IL observed that there Is less bitter
ness Of feeling now on the house side
toward the amendments of the senate
than there was last week, and a greater
degree Of confidence is manifested that a
satisfactory agreement will finally be
reached.
Protest From Republicans
The Republican mem bers OF the con fer
sncs oom mittes are dissatisfied with the
methods adopted by the Democratic con
fsrrses In excluding them from participa-
ton In the first conference and giving
them no intimation whatever Of the time
and place Of meeting.
It Is claimed by the Republicans that
this In contrary to the usual practice
They do not complain because the Demo
Gratis propose to arrange the differences
between the two houses without reg ri
to the Repu blioans, but insist that they
should have been invited to the first
meeting to take part in the organization
Of the conference.
Whether the Republicans should re-
main after the organization 10 matter
which they claim should have been left
to them to decide. 1t IL alleged that upon
all previous occasions Of conference on a
tariff bill all the oonferrees were notified
and invited TO be present They protest,
therefore, against being completely ig-
nored.
At the first meeting OF the conference
committee that dealt with the disagree
Ing votes on the act of 1888, and subse-
quently on that Of 1890. It 10 unquestion-
ably true that on both those occasions the
Republican mem bers OF the conference
committee alone considered and arranged
the differences. and the minority mem
bers were not invited and did not parcici-
pate In the work Of reconciliation until
that work was fully completed by the
majority mem bsrs. when the former were
notified aud the completed bill was then
laid before the full conference committee
for final action.
Radical Changes Not Allowed.

ferrees remarked yesterday that the Dem
ocrats would gain nothing by such
course. He said that IL the bill was radi-
cally changed the Republicans will insist
on debating each item. no matter IL such
course should hold the oonferrees to-
gether for month. There II no previous
question In oommittee, he says, and that
IL would not be possible to cut OF debate
should the Democratic majority resort
to drastic measures the fight will be
transferred to the floor of the senate. In
other words. the Republicans propose to
have their say In whatever changes ar
made, and II they do not get this in COM
mittes they will have It In the open
session of the senatorial body.
It was suggested by some Of their M.
sociates that the matter should be-
brought before the house, but IL was
thought best not to precipltate any dis
oussion on the question at this time. 1t
IL evident from the feeling which 10 now
manifested among the Repu blican mi
nority and Its friends In both houses that
there 10 going to bs some plain and inter
esting talk INDUCED In before the tariff
bill is finally disposed of.
