Washington, March 22--Consid-
Grafton of the tariff bill will begin
in earnest IN the house today, and
Il is the present intention Of The lead
ers to let down the bars for ten days
of general debate. It is not expected
that gag rule can b" agreed

for II vote on the bill AZ the cxpira-
ton of fourteen days debate under

How mach further the leaders

limiting debate on amendments, Is
just now the subject Of extensive
pulse feeling on the part of the
house organization. It appears that
q l~publiean DETECTION will occur on
The Jumber and hides schedules
while considerable opposition has
Developed within the party over the
inheritance tax provision. These and
other subjects In the bill over which
there Is republican dissension make
1t practically certain that a party
caucus viii be called during the
coming week to bind the republicans
and prevent a reign of party chaos.
It Is expected that the solution OF
the trouble will be had by forcing
the republicans TO support n RUE
that will provide separate votes on
such amendments as. are making
most trouble for the republicans
through sentiment at home. The
evolving Of such rule Will require
the finest talent In log-rolling In the
republican camp.
The leaders OF the majority are
determined TO put the bill through
by June /, or 3 at the latest They
propose that the bill shall reach the
senate by the last week in April
Their hope Is that the senate VIII
