It was said yesterday that the Ways

abolishing the duty OF s cents a pound
on tea and dropping the countervaiIing
duty on coffee. Another meeting OF the
committee VIII be held today. and prob

The committee yesterday agreed to put
q duty OF . cents a bushel on barley.
The original duty was 30 cents. but this
caused a storm Of protest from the mem

The Ohio delegation yesterday held a
caucus and determined on concerted &C

were Representatives Longworth and
Joyce. Mr. LOngworth is a member OF
the Ways and Means Committee and Mr..
Joyce is a new member. The conference
finally agreed TO vote for a rule on a
date not named and for separate votes
on tea. coffee. lumber. and hides. The
delegation will be IN session again this
morning and other paragraphs in the
bin will be discussed.
