WASHINGTON, Jan. 23.-While the per-
sooel feature of the vacancy In the su-
pEeme court interests the politicians
most, 1t does not approach IN import
ance the material interests affected by
the delay. Questions of constitutional
law, upon The decision of which hang
greet property interests, are being
held In abeyance until the full bench
can pass upon them, and naturally the
htlgRLts sre impa lent under the en-
forced waiting, There are now twenty
two cases on the docket OF the eupreme
court, some # which have beer side
tracked since the beginning of the Oc-
tober term AWAITING the advent to the

portant cases of the trm, IN which
hearings have bsen deferred at the
suggestion of the court or request of

brought their influence to bear upon

WARRINGTON, Jan. 23.-The votes on
the tariff bill thus far, especially upon
matters III which many mem bers we're
interested, such as coal and sugar, hFve
revived talk OF the movement TO recon-
NIT the entir3 Wilson bill. Haines Of
New York, has been arrang ng such a
move. but the members of the way
and means committee say it cannot
prevail.
Breckenridge says: 'Tbere has not
been a vote on any amendment which
would indicate doubt of the fioal las
sage o. the bill as a whole. The change
in the sugar schedule may induce some
gentlemen 20 say they will vote against
the bill. but this is due to feeling IT
the moment and there is little probable
ty that many democratic votes will be
lost TO the bill as a result of the amend
ments. On the contrary the committee
is we'll pleased that the bill has suf-
fered such slight changes, as it is far
from amounting to mutilatIon of the
measure"
Bryan, Whiting and others of the
committee expressed similar views.
They have been kept advised OF the pro
gress # Haiues' efforts to effect a COM
binati TO recommit the bill and say {
has never shown strength enough to
come within long way OF carrying. At
the same time, Haines' is continuing
his efforts and claim TO be encouraged
at the outlook.
