It is probable that all of the revenue measures including provision for pre- paredness revenues. a tariff commits sion and the encouragement of the dyestuffs industry. will be included in an omnibus bill The President is un- derstood to favor that plan.
 Solution of the revenue problem. which as result of the conference today, appears to be in sight, will go far. MT. Kitchin believes. toward mak- ing an early adjournment of Congress possible. He told the ways and means conferees that nothing would prevent him putting the legislative pro- gramme through the House so as to be ready to adjourn August 1. The Sen ate, however, may delay adjournment by prolonged debate on some of the big measures.
 Secretary McAdoos figures showed that the balance in the general fund. exclusive of disbursing officers credits probably would be $150.000, 900 at the end of the present fiscal year and s13.5O0,000 at the end of the fiscal year of 1917. This estimate included SHPSHNi oA 70 ilhCly tO Ue TOT the proposed increase in the standing army on the basis of the conference measure passed last night by the Senate and expenditures which probably will be made next year on the naval pro- gramme now before Congyess.
