was the senate bill or no legislation:
"Resolved, That it is the sense of this
caucus that the order heretofore made
requesting conference with the SEN
ate on the disagreeing votes Of the two
houses on H. r. 4S4 be rescinded. That
the conferees heretofore appointed on
the part of the house be DISCHARGED
from further duty in that behalf, and
that the house recede from it's disagree
ment to the senate amendments to said
bill and agree to the same

shall at once proceed to the considera-
ton OF separate bills, placing the fol-
lowing articles on the free list, VIZ:
Sugar, in all it's forms; iron ore, coal
and barbed wire"

terWard tn" resolution was adopted
without division. Chairman Wilson
prepared at the close OF the caucus to-
day statement of his views on the tar
If situation. The statement is in Mr..
Wilson's handwriting and gives sue
cinctly his position on the action of the
house in accepting the tariff bill. 1t is
as follows:
Il cannot see where we failed to do
anything we could to bring about bet
ter result. When have done the best
according to my capacity and judgment
l must fall back on the consciousness
of duty done. The difficulty which the
country must recognize is that on the
tariff question we did not have Dem
ocratic senate and what had ever been
gained has been wrested from a pro-
lection body. have been willing to
take any, even the most desperate
chances that gave the least hope of
success in getting rid of the most OBJ
jectionable senate amendments, and
would have fought to the 18th of March
with any ground to stand upon and any
following to sustain me- We have been
confronted by a senate with closer
ranks, while we have had divisions
from the beginning that have been
fomented from the senate, and the
growing Impotence Of the members to
get back to their districts with any
thing that might be called a tariff re-
duction bill, has made them unwilling
to stay unless promise could be given
Of assured or most probable victory.
We could not honestly give such prom
Use, and man cannot continue battle
with his army ready and eager to
break away"
