Washington April 20.-The presence on the floor

Tariff bill made the basis Of much speculation
The members Of the committee were in conference
for a time with Senator Yes, of the Democratic
side Of the Finance Committee, and afterward held
Individual conferences with other Senators on boa
sides OF the Chamber. 1t was generally supposed
that the committee had reached point from which
the end Of its arduous work could be discerned. and
that preparation was being made for q meeting OF
the full committee. This did not prove to be ex
acty true, but the visit made for the pur
pose Of smoothing the way for the final work The
committee Is approaching the end of its labors. and
various Senators who making persistent de-
mands for changes were called upon with a view
TO arriving at an understanding
Among the problems which are yet unsettled are
those relating TO sugar, lead ore and wool. Some

TO these and other articles. The members Of the
