Washington, d. c.. Jan. 25.-The fed.

Mr.. Cromwell began his testimony soon

EXPECTED TODRAG TO JULY
House Committee TO Consider the For
est Reserve Question on Tuesday
Morning--President's Message
Will Hhelp.

Washington, Jan. 25.--Urgent tele-
graphic inquiries indicate that there ia
much hopeful agitation, At least in New
York, over the report that plans have
been matred TO rush the tariff bill
through the special session in record
time, so as to relieve the business in
terests Of the country from suspens
The report is doubtless accurate enough
in regard to what is being planned
but careful study OF the situation here
fails to reveal any reason for attaching
large importance TO II. 10 has for long
time been assumed that the administra-
tion and certain OF the leaders in the
Senate would make a probably unpreee-
dented effort to put the tariff bill
through Congress as rapidly as possible.
But the whole matter hinges upon their
ability 10 carry out the contract and
upon the rules Of the Senate, which per-
nit infinite debate and which are sure
to be taken liberal advantage Of by the
Democrats, not 10 speak Of the more
radical revisionists among the Republi-
cans.
II is accepted that there will be little
delay in putting the tariff bill through
the House. But il is equally a matter
Of common expectation that. owing to
protracted debate in the Senate, the bill
win not become law before July | at
the earliest. II IL proves possible for
the administration and the Republican
leaders to put the bill through before
that time, Il win be stroke OF fortune,
.Tathern than the assured fulhllmeRt of
any carefully prearrangcd plan. Con-
gresham Sherman, the vice president
elect, is described as especially anxious
70 hasten the bill. But Mr. Sherman,
when he comes to preside over the SEN
ate, win find himself in a very different
position from that occupied by his bosom
friend, Mr.. Car n, the speaker and die
tator Of the Louise.
Through the efforts Of Congressman
Weeks, il has been decided that the
House agricultural committee shall begin
consideration Of the forest reserve ques-
tion at its meeting tomorrow morning
The vote Friday by which, with only
two dissenting voices, the committee
agreed to make this the next matter Of
business does not necessarily mean that
any such majority of the committee is
in favor Of the reserves. Mra Weeks has
much work cut ont for him in winning
advocates to the bill which he intro
dueed Friday, and on which the discus
sion viii henceforth apparently center.
But President Rooseveits message ae-
companying the report Of the eonserva
ton commission is likely to be Of ma
teiial assistance TO those who are work
