WAsnINGroN, July 2.-When the
tariff bill reaches the house, after it
has passed the senate, it is not prob
able that there will be any attempt to
oppose the motion which will be made
either directly by Chairman Dingley
or by the opposition of Il special order
to disagree To the senate amendments
| and send the bill to con ference. The
rcpu blican leaders do not think there is
any necessity for debate until the bill
Is reported back by the con.
| ference and the democrats are
| inclined to the same opinion. BAILEY,
| the leader of the minority, said Thurs
day that he would not oppose motion
to get the bill into conference, pro-
vide the republicans would agree to a
| reasonable time for debate when the
| bill was reported back to the house.
lie thought three or four days for dis
| cu>SIon ut that time would bc suf-
| hricnt The number of con ferccs to
hc appointed on behalf of the house
has not yet been decided, nor
the political division, but the confer
ccs. a. is usual, will tie The ranking
members OF the committee from each
side. 1t is probable that there will -br
seven roufcrecs. The political di-
vision NAV be five and two or four and
! three. The republican members of
the committee i'll their ranking order
are Dinglcy, Payne, Dallcll, Hopkins,
| Grnsvcnor, Russell, Bolliver, Steele,
Johnson, Evans and Tanney and the
democrats Bailey, Mcmillan, Wheeler,
McLauriu. Robertson and Swanson.
| The estimate of the time the bill
will Toe in conference ranges from two
/ To ten days, but the best opinion is
that the confcrccs will report the bill
back a week from next Monday il it
comes over from the senate on the lat
ter day.
