REVISION
IS NEARING END

WASHINGTON, Aug. 15.-The
whole tariff revision question will be
settled this week, which, in all prob
ability, will mark the closing Of
congress. Almost all members of
both houses are anxious to get
home, despite the vociferations Of
revision that they are willing to re-
main in session until autumn if
the legislation they want could be
enacted.
All OF the power of the democra-
tic party that now controls the
house and made effective through
the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS republi-
can coalition in the senate, will be
centered on quick action on the trio
of tariff measures. This means, ac-
cording to the belief of leaders on
both parties, that adjournment is
possible by the end of the week,
or, at any rate, few days there
after.
Out of the present tangled situa-
tion, with three tariff bills-wool,
the free list and cotton-in vary
ing stages of legislation, the wool
measure will be the first to emerge.
Complete agreement between the two
piece of legislation, which provides
basic average duty of 80 per cent
ad valorem on raw wool with the
wool classification provisions iden-
tically as framed by Underwood
making fiat tariff on all woods.
Everything hinges on that veto
and the subsequent move in the
house Democratic leaders are sure
of the passage of the bill over the
presidents veto in the house, but
are doubtful of the outcome in the
senate.
The free list bill and the cottor
bill are still hung up. The free
list bill is disagreed on, the
amendment adding lemons to The
fre list, and the senate amendmen
1 limiting free transportation of mea
and cereal products to those coun
tries which have a reciprocal trad,
arrangement with the United States
They agreed to all other amend
ments, and a conference report will
be presented to both houses tcd
