ence began after $3.50 o'clock and those

tons were TO be considered. The con-
ference at II o'clock broke up. Those

together for the purpose Of going over
with the president certain portions OF
his forthcoming message to congress.

general discussion of the reciprocity
agreement now before congress. II
developed that the old controversy be-
tween the house and senate over the
right Of the former to initiate all rev.
enue legislation was the principal topic
Of conversation. The members Of the
house claimed that the present treaty
provides that during the life Of the con-
vention the duty on sugar shall not
be reduced either by treaty or conven-
lion. To concede the position of the
senate they assert would be surrender
,f their constitutional powers. It was
said that unless the contention Of the

Measure will be defeated. No conclu-
lion was reached by the conference.
