Concession From Filibusters For
Vote Today-Tariff Commits
sion Bill Up.

Washington, March 1.-The deadlock
most continuous session of more than
thirty hours. Here are the direct re-
suits of the compromise:
First.-A unanimous consent agree
ment by the senate to vote on the Ior-
mer case this afternoon, at which
time the resolution to unseat the Hi
Aois senator undoubtedly will be voted
down.
Second.-The making of the bill pro
posing the creation of a permanent
tariff commission the unfinished busi
ness of the senate and agreement that
NO ilibuster will be conducted against
vote on this measure.
The Canadian reciprocity situation
IN the senate remains unchanged as IL
result of the breaking of the deadlock
m SO far as the legislative log jam is
relieved by the advancement of the
Lorimer case and the tarin commits
sion proposition. No attempt was
made by friends Of reciprocity to force
n compromise upon this measure. and
a special session to consider this sub
Ject still seems inevitable.
The disposal of the Lorimer case and
the advancement of the tariff commits
sion bill will, however, give the sup
porters of reciprocity a better oppor,
tunity to focus the attention of the
senate upon it, but they acknowledG"
that the outlook for favorable action is
not bright, in view of the fact that
the senate has eleven big appropria.
ton bills to dispose of in the remain
ing days of the session.
Just what the insurgents in the sen.
ate will get eventually from their fill
buster is uncertain at this time. They
announced in undertaking to obstruct
vote upon the Lorimer case that they
would insist first upon a date being set
for vote upon the tariff commission.
