PARTIAL TARIFF REVISION.
SENATOR CULLOM GIVES HIS VIEWS ON
LEGISLATION AFTER TALKING
WITH THE PRESIDENT

Chicago. Aug. 5-After visit to President Nc
Kinley. at Canton. Senator Cullom says there Is
likely to be any general tariff legislation next
winter. but that some of the pending commercial
treaties ought TO pass the Senate. The Senator
returned home last evening. and went at once TO
Highland Park. where he is spending the summer
Asked as to the story that Senator Hanna had
gone to Canton to get aid from the President in
settling the steel strike. senator CullOm said:
Il know there is nothing in that report Sena-
tor Hanna. President Mckinley and myself talked
of the strike. as did of other matters of cur
rent interest. but there was no suggestion from
Senator Hanna at any time that he was mixing
UP in the matter at all"
Speaking of the action likely 20 be taken BY
Congress at the session. Senator CullOm said:
We shall have 10 enact some legislation regarding
the Philippines. but not much. think. Porto Rico
is all disposed Of and there is nothing 70 do
for 1t. AS far Cuba is concerned IL has ac-
cepted the American proposals, and we have moth
ing more to do than let il alone and allow 1t to
work out its own salvation. From all the nforma-
tion l get the feeling is growing stronger in
Cuba every day In favor of final annexation to this
country. 1t will grow stronger the Cubans find
their neighbors in Porto Rico enjoying the benefits
of free trade with this country. which they are
debarred from"
What prospect is there OF tariff legislation BY
Congress next winter" asked of the Senator
Il do not think there will be any, at least IN
the form of general revision of the tariff" he
replied. "Of course, I not In a position to
speak authOritativeIy for the President, but feel

are. however. some things ought TO do which
will amount to a partial revision of the tariff
