HOUSE SUPPORT PLEDGED
Caucus Action Wednesday on the Wool
Tariff Revision Bill.

Washington. July 26-Solid support
for the House wool tariff revision bill
was pledged in caucus tonight. by the
Democrats of the Senate resolution
setting forth their attitude offered by
Senator Culberson, of Texas was
adopted without dissenting voice al
though the caucus lasted the greater
part of two evenings and was slgnallz-
ed by protracted debate.
At tonights meeting the discussion
was devoted largely. it is understood
to finding some parliamentary method
of resuscitating the La Toilette wool
bill, ii the House measure is voted
down. The La Toilette bill will be
offered a substitute for the House
measure when a vote on the latter is
demanded and it is conceded it will be
killed. Then, If the House bill meets
a similar fate. an effort, 1t is said Will
be made to reconsider the vote on the
House bill which, If successful would
be followed promptly by re- offering the
La Toilette measure as substitute
and by a coalition of the Insurgent
Republicans and Democrats passing 1t.
This program, 1t was said. tonight.
is entirely tentative and dependent
upon the willingness of La Toilette to
submit TO a sharp modification of his
measure. The caucus took no official
action on the plan. evidently desiring
to convey to the Insurgent Republi-
cans the impression that they were
solidly behind the House measure and
intended not to entertain any COM
promise

UNDERWOOD BILL.
First Serious Consideration With Vote
Probable for Today.

Washington. July e6-The Underwood
tariff bill had its first serious considera-
ton in the Senate today with vote upon
1t in prospect for the opening of tomor-
rows session. The honors OF the after
noon were divided between the two sena-
tors from Montana. Senator Myers. the
Democratic member. said he would not
vote for the bill as II came from the
House of Representatives
Senator Dixon. speaking from behind a
desk piled high with samples of wool and
wooden cloths. expressed the belief that
no wool legislation should be passed at
this session of Congress; and that the re-
vision when taken up should be based
on the forthcoming report of the tariff
board. Senator Dixon said there is a
real joker in the wool tariff. known as
the "skirting clause" BY permitting
importers TO discard all the rough parts
of the fleece. he said, it reduces the act
ual protection to American sheep rails
ers from II cents to cents.
Numerous conferences were held by the
Democrats during the day in an effort to
clear the situation and to come to some
agreement as to the attitude the various
factions would take. None of these con-
ferences afforded any definite agreement.
however.
Senator Myers said he was ready to ac-
cept the Underwood bill as fair adjust
ment of the wool tariff and he was in
favor of Congress remaining here to
vote on all remedial legislation needed
by the people" He said:
1.-The interests and trusts want Congress
to adjourn" He said the Senate had ae-
complished less In the last four months
than "a good board of county commits
sioners could accomplish in week.
Senator Townsend of Michigan urged
that no wool legislation be passed until
the tariff board reports on the wool IN
dustry. Senator Hepburn of Idaho spoke
on the wool tariff.
At the suggestion of Senator Penrose
the Senate took a recess until tonor-
row morning, thereby continuing the leg
islative day of Wednesday. This VIII give
Senator La Toilette of Wisconsin an OPP
portunity to speak on his substitute wool
bill before the vote is taken tomorrow.

of Blue infantry, which had been
thrown out as flank guard under
Major Sweetsir to protect the march
of the Blue column until the outposts
could relieve it.
Major Sweetsir drew up his two bat
talions and prepared to attack the
Reds under Capt. Campbell. while the
Blue cavalry which had reformed a
mile back. moved up to attack the
right of the Red infantry.
The odds We're greatly in favor of
the Blues as practically the entire
Blue force was within striking dis
lance, while the Red army was fully
eight miles away. while on the field
facing each other We're fully 800 Blue
troops to about 200 Reds.
AS Capt. Campbell had been sent
out merely to reconnoiter and not to
engage the enemy he executed with
drawal which was styled very clever
by the umpires and returning to the
Red camp he reported such informa :
ton as he had secured to Gen. Pew.

The American people are estimated
