rFrom The Tribune Bureau. ,

Washington. Nov bah hope OF
breaking the deadlock in the Senate
Barking and Currency Committee was
abandoned to-day The six administration
members refused to participate in the de-
liherations Of the fun committee, and
went on with the work Of revising the
House bill i'm accordance with the views
OF the White House. The five Republican
members of the committee. with senator
Hitchcock held a meeting of their own
with a view to perfecting their report.
Bv tacit understanding the committee
agreed to disagree. The fun committee
will meet on Saturday. when the reports
Of the two factions will be compared. On
the features of the bill over which there
Is little or no controversy unanimous
report will be made on the four funda-
mental questions upon which the commit
tee divided after the ultimatum OF the
administration was delivered disagree
ment will be reported and the issue iousht
out in the Senate.
The Republican members decided not 10
follow the example of the administration
by making currency legislation a party
matter. and will not submit separate
bill in opposition TO the Glass bill Ihe
onus Of cutting short the deliberations Oh
the committee before it had completed l's
revision Of the bill and of forcing 'lsh'
