about the question of what will come up
In the extra session OF Congress"
WAS the Cabinet discussed?' he was

No Fractional Trouble.
Mr. Underwood was asked IL he an
ticipated any trouble from the faction
that had been designated as the Bryan
faction" in the House.
There Is no factional trouble he
said. You Will remember that in the
caucus on the wooden schedule there wah
only one vote against me. and that
represents, perhaps. the factional differ
ences in the House. The friends OF Mr..
Bryan. should say, are very likely to
be the friends Of President Wilson"
''Will anything OF Importance. in ad-
dition to the tariff. be considered at the
extra session.
I'VE shall have to leave any an
nouncement of that kind to the Presi-
dent-elect." said Mr.. Underwood. The
tariff, however, will be thoroughly con-
sidered. II will be revised from top to
bottom. Every schedule will be taken
separately by the committee Then. II It
is deemed advisable We can put an en-
acting clause at the top OF each schedule
and send It through separately. That
might be the most expedious way. Or
It may be found that all the schedules
can be Jumped and put through In the
form OF a single bill. That Is a matter
OF choice. You know We must device
some method of giving three hundred
and fifty millions in revenue"

What is Mr.. Underwood's opinion as
