reported to the House tomorrow. 1t will
be placed upon the calendar and Chair
man Payne will call it up Tuesday. I'm
der the present arrangement the vote will
De taken at 4 o'clock on Wednesday.
The Democratic members of the COM
nittcc were present at the meeting yes
terday. but refrained from voting on re-
porting the bill. They will not attempt
any material obstruction in getting the
measure before the House. They also
gave tacit consent to taking vote on
the bill Wednesday next, and this plan
will be carried out unless objection is
made by members outside OF the com
mittee Then II will be necessary for the
Committee on Rules to report a special
order providing that the vote lie taken at
that time. part OF two days will thus
he allowed for debate OF the bill, and the
time will be allotted by agreement
Attitude of the Minority.
II is possible that the Democrats may
not vote on the bill. 1t IS also said that
Representative Littlefeldand Representa-
tive Mccall. with two or three other Re
publlcans. may decline to vote for the
measure. the former having taken de-
cided stand against the Porto Rican tar
iG bill. and the latter being opposed to
the Philippine policy OF his party.
The Democrats oppose the bill on the
grounds OF oolonialism, and secondly be-
cause of their general dislike for the pro-
visions OF the Dingley tariff measure.
There is a possibility. however, that one
or two OF the Louisiana members may
vote for the bill because OF the fact that
il protects the staple products of their
State. The Democrats are satisfied that
they can accomplish nothing by antago-
nizing the bill, and their opposition will,
therefore, be but little more than per-
functory. Representative Richardson and
one or two others viii, however, set forth
the position OF the minority.
May Amend in the House.
The bill viii be reported without
amendment. but i; is probable that an

 Remaining Work.
 When the convention gets through with the article on judiciary there will still re- main to be adopted the articles on muni- cipal corporations, impeachments, repre- sentation, exemptions. militia, education, private corporations and amending the constitution and miscellaneous provisions. The article on municipal corporations will be taken up after the article on judiciary is disposed of. Lying on the table to be considered along with the article on muni- cipaI corporations are two sections of the article on taxation which limit the tax Ing power of cities and counties. The article on taxation has been adopted all except these two sections. Some of these articles remaining to be considered en1- body little or no change from he present constitution, such for instance as the ar ticles on homestead and militia, and it will take very little time to adopt them They will be adopted almost as quick as an afternoon roll call is got through with.
 These afternoon roll calls have in the last few days. since the convention has been hustling, consumed very little time. It usually takes about ten minutes to call the roll on an aye and nay vote, and about six minutes on the morning roll call. Time Is getting too precious, however, to waste six or ten minutes on an unnecessary roll call and Adjutant General Brandon, who Is the reading clerk for the convention, can call the 155 names in about minute. He has a fine sonorous voice and the dele gates greatly enjoy the little joke of hear ing him go down the roll like shooting he chute. and usually applaud him as ne gravely announces to the president that there are 1so delegates. present or any other number above quorum that hap pens to come to mind.
