Washington. July 27.-Out of what
Rad appeared to be a chaotic condi-
eop in the senate there suddenly
arose today.a coalition of democrats
and nsurgent republicans which
bowled over the regular organization
and passed a compromise bill for the
revision of the wOolen tariff by AS

This new force in the senate, unit
Cd on a material reduction of tariff
duties all down the line and flushed
with victory, tonight is threatening
nat only to pass the so-Called farm
ers free list bill as il came from the
house but to put through q cotton

sugar and steel schedules included In
the program.
The house democratic leaders are
not willing to accept the compromise
wool bin as it passed the senate to-
day but they are more than willing
to meet the senate conferees. Chair
man Underwood of the house ways
and means committee, expressed the
belief tonight that a bill satisfactory
TO both houses was more than likely
to he agreed upon.
This would put the wool issue UP
to President Taft and there is much
Hecuaton as to what his course will
k
Mr. Taft would make no comment
On the situation. While the president
in the past has denounced the pres
eht WOODEN schedule of the Payne
Aldrich law, as indefensible, there
have been strong intimations from
the White House within the last few
weeks that he would not hesitate to
use the veto on any tariff schedules
passed in advance of reports from
the tariff board.
The assumption of power by the
democratic -insurgent combination to-
day was the Outgrowth of similar
coalition formed June 81, to send the
yoolen bill to the finance committee
with Instructions to report ii back
July 10. The standpat senators then
admitted that their control of the up
per house of congress had been brok-
en- and that they would no longer
hold themselves responsible. The
finance committee shifting response
blity to the floor of the senate, re-
nored the bill back adversely the next
day.
Today the regular senators again
showed their resentment in defeat
and declared they would not serve on

likelihood therefore that the senate
