 Washington. D. C., Dec. 26.-No ex- traordinary- session of congress will be called next spring to revise the tariff.
 This statement can be made on the best of authority. The question has been discussed by the president with republican leaders in both branches of congress and it has been decided that it would be inadvisable to pre- cipitate q discussion of the tariff question during the coming year.
 President Roosevelt's own desire is that a readjustment of the present tariff schedules be made at an early date: but, realizing that congress is the revising body, he has left the subject for determination to the re- publican leaders of the senate and the house. After considering the matter carefully, they have indicated to the president their wish that the question be postponed until after the next presidential election. They point out that at no time in the country's his tory have the American people been 50 prosperous as they are at present. Wages in many lines of business have been increased, the farmers aud planters have been blessed with abundant crops for which they are receiving good prices and in all in- dustrial branches of business the people are doing well. To take up the tariff question would disturb. in the opinion of many. the business Of the country, particularly on the eve of national campaign. A tentative promise Is made that the question shall be considered at the first session of congress after the next presidential election.
 It is understood that the president has acquiesced in this decision and that the vigorous advocates of tariff revision or tariff readjustment also have agreed that this course may he the best to follow. The idea now Is that a special session of congress he called to meet immediately after the inauguration of the next presiden. In 1900 10 take up the subject of the fariff and determine it with as little delay as possible.
 Pending that extraordinary session, 1t is suggested that commission be appointed to consider what changes shah be made in the present tarid schedules. This commission is 10 consist of tariff experts in and out of congress. It will study the whole question and submit report to the who. in turn. will send 1t 10 the congress. It Is not expected that the ways and means committee of the bcuse and the finance commit tee of the senate in any way will to this commission their powers, but that tbe commission will simply compile information and per haps make recommendation that will be of value to the congress commit tees and enable them to reach a con clusion more quickly than if they had to do all the work of investigation 
 seriou diflculties were presented to the leaders of the majority party In congress in the consideration of the tariff revision question but 1t was finally concluded that the plan here outlined was the besf to pursue It is expected that fhe nexf rtpublican na- tisnaI conventjoo win declare In ex- plicit tern for . rsndjustueut Of the fsriR sche1nIes alsoG the lines ind;- csfed ssd flst tbe eftioa q the cen UVuk s1sol1 tDe naltonaI cnmpoiGn FumR Io c r1vu111Gnn SIG1pY.
