most of the members of the House are
heartily tired of the long drawn out
general debate on the tariff bill, Rep
resentative Olmsted, chairman of the
committee of the whole still has down
nearly eighty names of members who
desire time in which to speak. It Is
understood that there will be no fur
ther granting of the privilege Of un-
linjte dtime. Most of the speeches this
afternoon and tonight will be held
down to 20 minutes. II is likely, also,
that a number Of the so will not de-
liver their speeches. except through
the medium Of the Congressional Re
cord, for the benefit of their consti-
tuents
No rule will be reported in the House
tomorrow. as had been expected, to cut
off general debate, and TO set a day
for a vote on the bill House leaders
are at sea as TO the tariff sentiments
OF the majority, and they will get de-
finite information on that subject be-
fore taking action. State delegations
are holding meetings 70 agree upon
statements of their desires, and these
are being forwarded to the committee
on rules.
Iowa has declared. for a separate
vote upon half dozen different sche-
dulles, and Illinois has voted in favor
of a caucus. The latter is impossible,
because of the divergent sentiment
among the Republicans. But II is pos
sible that there may be a decision TO
hold a conference. Caucus action
would bind every member Of the body,
but a conference means merely an ex-
change Of views. 1t is probable that
the Michigan and Kansas delegations
viii hold meetings later today.
