CONCESSIONS ON BILL
COMPROMISE IS NEEDED.
Tariff Committee Finds Disdfec
ton and Nay Gail Caucus.

Washington. March 2S.-The House leaders. after
going far to urge by mail all Repuohcan
members TO be in their seats next Thursoay 10
vote for a rule for the further consideration OF
the tariff BILL have been obliged to abandon thelr
intention and devote themselves TO asceFtalhlnS
what compromises must be made to OBTAIN SUM
cient support for rule TO insure It's aooplIoi'-
They had purposed 10 bring in a rule proNldlhs
that no amendments which had not been reported
by the Ways and Means Committee should De
submitted Il vote, but they have discovered SUCH
widespread disaffection to render that lhprac-
ticable and the whips are feeling out the
situation ascertain what concessions Will nave
to be made 70 get the 1876 Republican votes heces
sary to secure the adoption OF any rule
1t has been decided, moreover that it Will be un-
safe TO carrying through RUE On 'io
floor of the House, and as soon as the necessary
1g6 votes can be obtained a caucus VIII DC calieu'
at which IT Will be sought to pledge the necessary
number Of votes. 1t is admitted. moreover tnat
even with a caucus the bill cannot be passed as
reported, and that 1t will be necessary TO submit
to the caucus the definite amendments on "iiON
a vote will be permitted.
The chief opposition is against the lumber, COAL
hides ore. barley. leather. oil, hosiery, gloves ana
wool schedules The inheritance tax is also Visor-
: ousy opposed. and many members from prohloitoh
states insist that their political lives depend o"
! their having opportunity to vote for an IN
creased tax beer.
It now seems probable that there will be some
extensive trading in hide lumber and coal scheu-
ues, but the leaders still believe they can heulo
the opposition to the others named They are EN-
phaszing the fact that 4 the lumber schedule
gets before the caucus, lumber will go on t'e
free list, and they expect in this way TO dispose
of the advocates of higher lumber duties.
In spite of all the difficulties which besat the pas
sage of the bill in its present form, the Speaker
and his associates insist that they will be able
to effect its adoption not later than April TO- when
is five days earlier than had been expected. The
Speaker is using the argument that the consldera-
