mission bill and having endorsed one
said 10 Do more to their liking. the
Republican leaders Of the house are
nov more In a mood TO pass the
Legislation which the president has
asked
There are some wide differences be-
tween the Longworth bill and the Dali
ssll bill which has supplanted 1t. but
there Is feeling that the progressive
Republicans will not refuse to vote
for the substituted measure, believing
As they do that It is an advance along
lines which they have blazed. The
difiiculty will come In the senate,
where the chances are very much
against the passage of any tariff legis-
lation at this session. The progress
sives say that their conservative Re-
publican brethren will not be in the
least sorry II the bill fails to become
q law.
In the meantime Democrats are
5ubilant because of the disagreement
which has come to the Republicans
over the form which the tariff COM
mission legislation should take. I'm
questionably the Democracy in Con-

passed this year. The progressive
Republicans accuse their conservative
brethren OF playing into the hands of
the Democrats, and the conservatives
retort by saying that the progressives
have been playing into the hands of
the opposition for two years. All Is
not peace In the Republican ranks
and recent discussions on the tariff
by the Democrats have shown that
the spirit of amity is not dwelling
entirely unmolested in their camp.
Army to Get Aeroplans Fund.
The house of representatives has
put into the army bill an appropria-
ton of $125.000 for the use of the sig
nal corps Of the United States army
In aeroplane experiments. For a year
the signal corps officers have had an
aeroplane on their hands and have
not had money enough to put It to
use. 1t was not the war department
alone which urged congress to grant
money for flying purposes, for petit
lions came from all over the United
States from persons who are interest
cd IN the new art, and from other per-
sons who thought that II Great Brit
ain, Germany, France and some of the
other nations were making arrange
ments to fly and to drop dynamite
bombs into the enemy's camp, the
United States ought to be prepared in
some way to check the game provid-
