the division of sentiment which has devel- oped on the bill.
 Speaker Henderson took an active part an the conference and made the first speech or the evening He spoke in a conellatory spirit urging that differences be reeonciled by the exercise of tolerance on both sides.
 The first definite proposition came from MT. Pearre, of Maryland, who suggested a compromise fixing two years as the limit for the operation of the proposed tariff.
 MT. Powers, of Vermont, was dhe first to give voice to the opposition sentiment He said, however, that he had come in the conference in the hope and expectation that differences would be adjusted.
 Shalrman Payne spoke at considerable length. He disavowed any pride in the bill, as he had not drawn it. although as chair man of the commdttee 1t had fallen to his lot to present it. MT. Payne also conveyed the impression that the president was not opposed to the bill. certainly not on the constitutional questions involved, although he carefully refrainsd from any direct statement as to hts attitude on the disposi- tion of the bill. Speech-making became general Representatives Hill, Cannon, Mo Call, Brown, Ohio; Fletcher, Lacy, Tomp- khns and 1ttlefield succeeding each other.
 MT. Lacy brought forward a compromise, giving to lhhe president full authority to act. Y UT a llIne the uhScuSSiOn turned on tn1S proposition, but it failed to develop much strength.
 The speeches of Mccall and MT. Littlefield attracted much interest because of the positive attitude they have taken. MT. Mc- Call spoke calmly, skating his opposition to the measure as a whole, but showed dis position to accept compromise.
 MT. DittleIield was more vehement, de- claring that he had not surrendered his views against the measure as a whole, al though he felt disposed to turn the sub- ject over to the president, had been proposed. MT. Iittlefeld also suggested That free trade be given to Porto Rico with a distinct declaration that this should not operate as a precedent applicable to other insular possessions.
 Up to midnight none of the propositions had been voted upon and the members began leaving the hall. The feeling pre- vailed, however, t,lcE two-year limta- ton would be agreed upon as a basis of compromise, and that wf5h this change the bill! would receive pretty general, although not the unanimous republican vote.
 As the attendance was rapidly diminish ing 1t became apparent that no final ac- tlon could be reached tonight. The pan or committee of ten, five from each side, to go over Ithe subject and report some mid de ground was unanimously adopted by all present. and at 12:15 the conference ad- jcurned until Monday night.
