DEMOCRATS ARE SLOW
WITH TARIFF CAUCUS
Less Than Half the Schedules
Have So Far Been Dis,
posed Of.

Slow progress in consideration of the
new tariff bill by the democratic House
caucus has upset the early prediction
of administration leaders that the bill
would be ready for the Senate by May /.
After week Of delibera ton the eau
Gus is less than half way through the
proposed measure. with several OF the
important schedules yet to be disposed
Of notably wool and cotton. The In
come tax also is certain to require con-
siderable time in discussion
Today the caucus resumed considera-
ton of the agricultural schedule, wheat
being first taken up. Northwestern rep
resentatives opposed the free listing OF
flour. declaring it inconsistent with pro-
posed duty ce 10 cents a bushel on wheat
Citrus fruits also were the target for
opposition, as we'll as the free listing of
potatoes.
Underwood Again in Charge.
Representative Underwood was suffi-
GENTLY recovered fro-, his illness to re-
sumo charge Of the bill in the caucus,
although. his friends urged him to return
home until completely we'll. He was so
anxious to guide the administra ton
measure through the caucus. however.
and to hasten its consideration as much
as possible that he remained on the floor
in spite of illness.
The democrats held the market bas-
ket' schedul. steady yesterday after
noon, although Representative kinkead
of New Jers," did his best to upset 1t
with free cattle ad Of cattle at 10
NOR rant aG 1atOrem duty.
Free Cattle Men Beaten.
His new colleague Representative
Logue of New Jersey, introduced the free
cattle resolution, which precipitated the
biggest fight of the day. and although
the free-cattle men rallied strongly they
lost by two-to-one vote.
An unsuccessful attempt was made to
raise the duty on barley and other small
grains. Representative Burke of Wiscon-
sin offered an amendment restoring the
rates Of the Payne-Aldrich tariff, under
which barley paws a. duty of 80 cents a
hushel while the Underwood bill provides
but Ii cents for barley.
Wheat Rate Left Unchanged.
The caucus rejected both amendments
and left the wheat rate as fixed by Mr..
Underwood and his colleagues
When the citrus fruit paragraphs were
reached democrats from California and
Florida began a fight to maintain the
duties on lemons, lines and oranges.
When the caucus took a recess for
1uncheo., the debate was running high on
the question.

MAY FAVOR BRITISH VIEW
President Wilson's Alleged In
formal Opinion of Canal Tolls
Encourages England.

LONDON. April 1o.-The report sent
by James Bryce. British ambassador to
the United States OH the results OF a re-
cent conversation with President Wilson
foreshadows. it is understood, a favor
able termination of the controversy be-
tween the two countries over the ques-
ton of Panama canal tolls.
The Manchester Guardian understands
that President Wilson will shortly make
an important statement on the question.
Presidents Informal Opinion.
Although President Wilson has never
expressed himself publicly on the ques-
ton Of Panama canal tolls, he has in
formally indicated 10 his friends that he
believes in an Interpretation of the
treaty which would make it improper
for the United States to exempt its yes
sells in the coastwise traffic from paying
tolls He is also understood to take the
position that the exemption as now pro-
posed is in effect a subsidy, and he has
always been opposed to subsidies
The report that the President had in
timated to Ambassador Bryce that the
settlement Of the question would be favor
ab,e to Great Britain is credited generally
IN official circles because it is thought that
Mr.. Wilson'S personal friendship for the
rctirins ambassador would account for
their intimate conversation on this point
inst before Mr.. Bryce's departure, though
Mr.. Wilson has been urged not to give
formal expression to his views until the
tariff is disposed of in the present session
Of Congress.
Might Cause Dissension.
Mr.. Wilson is said to realize that the
tolls question might, il brought up at
present, divide the democratic majority
and cause embarrassment to the tariff
question, which he regards as paramount
The inference drawn from the London
renort is that the President has seen hit
informally to indicate to England that
favorable adjustment will be forthcoming
so as to forestall early representations
from Great Britain and that the Brit
ish government might understand fully
the strategic reason for temporary delay.

Aided by Clearing Weather.

The clearing up of the weather today is
taken as a hopeful augury for the recov-
cry of the Pope. Father Parolin. the
Pope's nephew, helped his uncle through
his morning toilet today and gave him his
breakfast of weak coffee and milk. Fa-
ther Parolin, who has installed himself in
a small room in the Vatican adjoining the
Pope's apartments, declared this morning
that the Pope had suffered from only
three coughing spells during the night
and that the cough was much easier
The pulse. he said, was stronger and the
respiration more regular.
When Prof. Marchiafava appeared the
Pope was so cheerful that he joked with
the physician and congratulated him on
the realization of his prediction of recov-
cry Prof Marchiafava answered:
81 will make another prediction: you
will have a further relapse if you do not
patiently fulfill the doctors commands. "
Calls Doctor a Tyrant.
The Pope insisted, however that re-
manning in bed would make him nervous
and Prof. Marchiafava permitted him to
sit up in chair for few minutes, while
his bed was being made, but would not
allow him to walk.
At II o'clock the Pope was assisted
from his bed and removed to All arm
chair close by. He had been there only
a few minutes when he showed signs
iafav - he remarked, 'forbids me to
walk. At least, carry me to the window
so that i may enjoy the sun.
This was done Immediately. At noon
the pontiff took some chicken jelly, which
seemed to refresh him greatly.

ably brilliant aid he in turn eliminated
Edgar T.. Leo. of the Bronxville Athletic
Association forces, and George B. Leech
In his match against Roberts the net
play Of Graves was at once severe and
steady. In the first set Roberts often
found the openings along the side lines
so that he managed TO hold the games
even up 70 sail.
Then Graves made sensational stand
His smashing attack was so spirited and
we'll sustained that Roberts was driven
back, and lost the set at IS. II was the
same story in the next set. with the diff
ference that Graves blocked off Rober.s's
drives in beautiful style. and allowing his
adversary only one game in the set. won
the match at 81.
Ostendorf gave the Haworth expert
tussle through the limit of three sets be-
fore he was beaten off at 81, 81, 6-3.
Ostendorf was compelled TO cling TO the
base line whether he liked it or not. for
Graves was up to the breastUorks OF the
court on every return volleying and
smashing with tremendous vigor. Osten-
dorf attempted to lobb at times. The
ball fell short and by splendid overhead
