Building, Washington.
Washington, May 1e.-House democrats
are already talking about framing tar
III bill TO send over to the senate and to
serve as the foundation for the issues OF
1904 provided the ffty-eighth congress
is democratic. That will make the chair
manshfp of the ways and means commit
tee most desirable position, and there is
good deal of informal talk OF available
men. In case the fifty eighth congress
should be republican, it is said to be the
intention of the president 10 call an en-
ira session for the consideration of tariff
matters Many republicans will advocate
this plan. Revision at the short session
next winter will be out of the question,
and if mt.de at the long session following.
the tariff will be precipitated as the lead
ing issue of the campaign, without the
country having had time to study tho
schedules. Older members -remem Der
what happened to the republican party in
1892, when the Mckinley Till was put be
fore the country in completed form only
a Ns,ort time before the election. The
law was badly misrepresented and repub-
lican disaster followed. The Dingley law,
on the ether hand, was passed at an extra
session, and had been in force nearly
year and a half before the election came
on. By that time the effect was under
stood and a republican victory was the
result. =.
This democratic talk about the tariff
shows that there is a loss of hope that
there will be a chance to make effective
campaign material out of the Philippines
or that the antiimrerialistic issue Of 1909

Hansbroueh.s Tilt With GaIlinger.
Senator Hansbrough had a tilt re-
Gently in tie senate chamber with Sen
ator Gallinger, of New Hampshire, over
the bill providing for a new union pas
senger station for Washington. Senator
Hansbrough wants the station to be built
and owned by the District. of Columbia.
Other senators want the station owned
by the Pennsylvania with the right re-
served for its use by airy ,ral!roads tnaI
ever may enter the city. Senator Hans
brough, speaking of one phase Of the pro-
posed municipal improvements, said that
the abolition of all grade crossings would
cost Sc. 900 900, and Senator Galllnser re-
piled that the cost would greatly eN-
coed s3.oo0.0oo. This led Hansbrough to
reply that the trouble with the senator
from New Hampshire was that the only
figures he had on this matter were those
furnished him by the railway people.
THAT is a sample Of the senator
courtesy" replied Gallinger, "and l pass
it over for what it is worth.
Gallinger then likened Hansbrough. with
his schemes of munici2al ownership, to
Former Senator Pettierew. This made
Hansbrough very angry. The remark Is
quite gratuitous,' he said.
ut is fact retorted Gallinger. e..
"Why," said Mr.. Hansbrough, zone OF
the members Of the district COMMITTED
told ne that he was surprised at what
the bill contained. and he was going 70
ask that it be recommitted-'
81 don't wonder he was surprised, in
terrupted Mr.. Gallincer, 'if he TOOK the
statements of the senator from Nortf
Dakota"
s'He was listening to the senator from
New HAMPSHIRE" retorted Mt, hans
brough. warmly.
Senator Gallinger then analyzed Mr.
Harsbrough's ''crudely drawn substitute,
as he characterized it, and said that NJ
one could tell from that bill whether tht
nnion station was to be located in Eek
ireton or on the classic shores OF I'M
Eastern Branch, or up in balloon.
think I understand the senator's purpos
in his opposition to this bill, observes
Mr.. Gallinger, land I do not beneve ina
he expects his bill to- pass
