leaders Wednesday, and an ln1orin"A
canvass of sentiment was made 10
learn whether members, particularly
those of the majority, would favor .
special rule bringing the bill TO a
vote without an amendment. The
of sucn a rule would be to
avoid an amendment similar to that
of Representative Babcock, IN the
ways and means committee, reducing
the rates in the iron and steel sched-
ule. or amendments from the minorl-
ty in the line of general tariff re-
vision. 1t is stated that IT, result
of the canvass has shown a majority
of the house favorable to such a spe-
cial rule. In making the canvass the
view has been presented to repub-
lican members that the tariff revi-
sions, such rs those proposed by Mr..
Babcock. might be left for detJrmi-
nation of a republic caucus, subse-
quent to the passage of the war rev.
enue reduction bill. Those fully ad-
vised as to the canvass say il has
shown n sentiment favorable to such
caucus consideration of all tariff
amendments, thus leaving the war
reduction bill to be PASSED
