II IN impossible for his saggestions to -
carried out The speeches OF senator.
Gray and Vest on yesterday indicate tnat
the Democratic senators have no idea OF
yielding either 10 Mr.. Cleveland OF to the
House. Many Of the members OF the
House are tired OF tho farce OF holding
out. and AZ two or three breaks would
open up the whole question again, the
Indications are that after lot OF speech
making IL INDUCED In the House VIII
simply walk Into camp. Then II the
President does not like the bill he can
veto IL.
IL IL freely charged by the Democratic
senator's that the President has broken
faith. He led them TO believe he was In
favor OF the Senate BILL and Secretary
Carlisle. claiming TO speak for the Presi-
dent, or at least 20 understood. had n
great deal 10 10 with the compromise
amendments that were added by the SEN
ate. The Presidents letter has stirred up
lots OF bad blood, but IL will be found
later on that II has not split the party
so badly as did his demand last year that
the purchasing clause OF the Sherman law
should be repealed.
Senator Daniel and many other southern
senators stoutiy maintain that the upper
branch OF Congress cannot afford to re-
sentiment in legislative circles Is that
the Senate bill will be passed, or else
there Will be no tariff legislation this
session
