WASHINGTON, Nov. 25.-There is
such q diversity Of opinion among Re-

course to be pursued at the next session
with reference to the tariff that it is
considered quite probable a caucus will
be held very early in the session to de-

Sherman is still understood to hold to
the opinion that the Dingley bill should

session, while other Republicans dis
agree with him, some as to the wisdom
of the measure and others as to the
possibility Of getting it through. It is
believed that line of action can be
agreed upon in party conference
which will be satisfactory to all, and
which, when it is once decided upon,
will render unnecessary much useless
agitation. The indications now are
Decision Of the Caucus
when held will be against taking up

that have been quoted as saying that ex-

II have evidently also been quoted in

while Mr.. Platt had publicly announced
that he did not intend to come here before
the latter part of next week he had pri-

I have never employed the word 'conspir-
acy' in connection with what Mr.. Piatt
has done or may have in mind. He has a
perfect right to do what he is doing so far
as / know, and know of nothing he may
have in contemplation that is illegitimate.

and man of honor. The friends of Gov

ator Platt or questioning his motives
