The conference Of the Republican mem
bers cf the House of Representatives last
night partook of the nature Of q caucus,
and voted TO direct the Committee on
Ways and Means TO report the Porto Rieau
Tarin bill to the House with a recommcu-
daticn that the Senate amendments thereto

direct action upon that proposition. an
order viii be brought in by the Committee
on Rules to restrict the permissible mo-
tions to the one to concur. After the adj
3ournment OF the caucus. Chairman Can
non dictated the following statement OF its
action:
The conference which was. in its effect.
a caucus. was quite full, harmonious. and
exhibited a good temper throughout Mr..
Payne. Chairman Of the Committee on
Wsvs and Means explained the changes
in and additions 20 the bill made 10y the

way OF Indiana. moved 10 amend Mt.

Senate amendments in the concurrence.
This was adopted. and then Mr. Payne

The vote was substantially unanimous.
No division was asked for and. as well
as / could judge. On the viva voce, one or
Two. not to exceed the latter number, were
in the negative
Mr. Cannon was asked when the bill
would be reported TO the House.
Just as soon as the members Of the
House-can be got here. Some Of them are
AT home sick. others are detained at home
bV the illness Of members Of their families,
and others are at home on business. Every
effort viii be made TO get them here so as
TO have action between Monday and
Wednesday inclusive. il possible il viii be
on Monday"
What time will be allotted fCr dehatee'
That matter was not considered. and !
can tell nothing about it, The decision OF
the majority Of the House viii determine
that"
will a rule be reported 10 govern the
consideration Of the billy
A rule was not discussed; but, Ire
fiectivelyl yes; if necessary. If 1 were
going to guess 1 would guess in favor OF
a rule Further than to test the sense Of
the conference on the matter concurring
in the Senate amendment the parlia-
mentary situation was not touched. The
meaning OF the action OF the conference
is that vote viii be taken on the ques-
tion Of concurring in the Senate amend
ments 10 the House bill, and if necessary
10 confne it to that a rule viii be re-
ported"
Inquiring among attendants upon the
caucus developed the fact that the de-
sire Of as early an adjournment as pos
sible had considerable influence in bring
ing about the decision reached. 1t was
feared that II the bill was thrown into
conference It would probably delay final
adjournment. II it did not cause dead
lock resulting in no legislation al all this
session.
