Upon these points the committee will I'M

many members object to what they term
Executive Interference" they admit Tint
alt hough the amendments which the Presi-
dent wants aeem important to him they are
not regarded so by the committee. The
President has not demanded anything
which the committee cannot grant and yet
remain consistent,

thing which would enable them to escape
from a thorough inspection of their plants.
The same is also said Of Representative
Cocks Of New York, who represents the
Presidents nome district. He also voted
for the committee substitute.
Other members of the committee who are
warm friends Of the President thought
also that they were framing a measure
which would meet with his approval. There
are many who believe that the Presidents
correspondence with Mr.. Wadsworth has
been rather harsh upon such members,
who thought they were doing something
which the President would indorse.
AT the meeting of the committee to-
morrow it is probable that a number of
amendments will be agreed to and offered
as committee amendments when the bill
ia taken up in the House, and that they
will be adopted there is little or no question.
These amendments will be in line with what
a majority of the committee believe were the
Presidents views at the time the amend
ments were offered. As the situation is now
seen there is little II any trouble ahead
for the meat inspection measure, and it is
believed that the controversy is nearing
an end.
Speaker cannon had a long conference
with the President at the White House to-
night in regard to the meat inspection clause
OF the Agricultural Appropriation bill and
other important matters of legislation which
have been threatening to prolong the
session of Congress. After leaving the
White House Mr., cannon was in cheerful
mood and spoke with much optimism OF
the legislative outlook.
when shall we ADJOURN Well, now, /
should say somewhere along about July /.
l don't know what the coordinate branch
will do, but the Senate steering committee
said something the other day about June
%. should say we ought to get away by
the first anyhow.
THE meat inspection amendment needn't
cause any particular delay, and ! don't
think it will. l don't know how many
may wish to make speeches on it. but of
course the House can adopt a rule for a
reasonable limit on debate II the majority
wish. There isn't vital difference enough
between the Senate and House amendments
to make any trouble
In regard to tho pure food bill the
Speaker said that the House would I'M
doubleday take up this measure for action
during the present week.
IF the House adjourns tomorrow on
account Of the death Of Representative
Lester he said, I'VE shall lose a little time.
In that case we should probably devote
about three hours on Tuesday to cleaning
up The docket Of measures which are to come
up under suspension of the rules II the
House doesn't adjourn Immediately to-
morrow that business could be got out Of
the way tomorrow. Then ! should say
that the pure food bill might be taken up
Tuesday, or ossibly the meat INSPECTION
business-that is, the Agricultural Appro-
priation bill. There will be a rule brought
