fBY TELEGRAPH THE TRIBUyE.I
Washington. May 3.-Senator Allison. the
chairman OF the Republican subcommittee OF
the Finance Committee which has revised the
Ding!ey Tariff BILL had a very satisfactory in
tervew to-day with the Democratic members OF
the full committee the outcome OF which was
definite understanding that soon as Senator
Jones, of Nevada, is ready TO announce his CO.
operation with the Republicans in reporting the
amended measure all opposition to immediate
action will cease on the part OF the Democratic
minority. AS Senator Jones has already had
friendly conference with the Republicans ana
laid down in a general way the conditions under
which he will vote to report the Senate revision.
it is not believed that Senator Allison and his Re-
publican associates will be obliged to delay much
longer the submission of the amended schedules
to the full committee.
Tomorrow is the regular meeting day Of the
Finance Committee, and, Senator Jones's aid
is now confidently counted on the bill is almost
certain to be offered to the full committee. and

ate Orce in the Senate. it Will lie the table
for a week ten days while the Democratic COM
mitteemen make themselves familiar with its de-
tails and prepare themselves for the protracted
parliamentary struggle which is sure to come
over many Of the rates in the revised schedules.
The Democratic managers in to-days talk with
Senator Allison showed far more conciliatory
temper than was apparent in last weeks nuga-
tory conferences. If Senator Jones. of Nevada,
they practically conceded would give no counte-
nance to their project of passing on various dis
puted amendments in committee, the whole plan

be abandoned. They therefore agreed TO leave
IL wholly with the Nevada Senator Whetner 10
hold up the bill in committee for further eXanlnd-
tion and patchwork revision. or TO report IL uh-
touched to the Senate without further delay.
There is determined opposition on the part OF
number of Eastern Senator'S 10 the proposition 10

has taken definite shape. 1t Is led by senator
Lodge OF Massachusetts, and Senator Frye, or
Maine Both these Senators have had frequent
interviews with the subcommittee with the nope
of prevailing upon them to alter their decision.
They have. however, so far received no assurance
of acquiesoence. and the impression is general IN
the Senate that when the bill Is reported IL VIII
