**********% ********

Washington. July 24.-The removal
of Canadian reciprocity from the con-
gressional stage has left things at the
capitol i'm a decidedly mixed condi-
tion.
The senate will launch into the wool
tariff fight at noon, today. but il is
anticipated that the discussion will not
stick closely TO wool, but sNiit run the
whole gamut of tariff revision. The
house Democrats will caucus. on Tues
day. and the cotton tariff bill, with
their endorsements. is expected 10
come into the house on Wednesday.
The house is going to pass it's cotton
tariff measure but the fate of the wool
bill i'm the senate still is a matter of
conjecture.
Situation is Confusing.
The Democratic leaders i'm the house,
some of them at least, are still skepti-
cal as to whether the senate will pass
any of the tariff bills now before it.
They have tried to obtain some defin-
ite information from senate leaders as
10 what will be done. bu, little is forth
ate want a wool revision. and so 90
the Republican insurgents. but they
cannot agree on the kind. The Demo-
Gratis want 10 have a Democratic meas
ure IL possible, but above all they want
to have some kind OF n bill. in tho
hope of embarrassing the president,
who has characterized the Payne-Al-
drich wool tariff rates as "indefens-
ible."
II they cannot get their own wool
bill through the Democrats Of the sem
ate may support the LaFollette insur-
gent Republican bill. which was de-
feated on Saturday as an amendment
to the reciprocity bill but which will
come i'm the game this week as an in
dependent measure With the Demo-
Gratis and insurgents united the La
Toilette bill might easily be passed.
But at this point the parliamentary
bug bears intervene. The Democratic
wool bill is officially before the senate
and the LaFollette bill must come In
as a substitute. Under the rules of the
senate the substitute must be voted
on frSt. 1T the DcnfocratS vote loT lts
they lose a chance to vote on their
own bill, and If they vote against IL.
they confront the certain defeat of
their own measure on the next vote.
Either the Democrats who favor

To be sure OF some revision viii win
out i'm a Democratic senate caucus this
week. or else IL will be determined to
put the wool revision measure i'm again

The wool vote comes next Thursday

following Tuesday. August !. II the
wool bills are voted down on Thursday.
