Washington. July 7.-President Hard ing naid an unexpected visit to the sen ate today and. it is understood. inter posed the weight oS his personal infiu- cncc to defer action on the soldier bonus hiii until a clearer understanding of the governments financial outlook has been made possible by enactment of new tariff and tax laws.
 In an hours conference with senate leaders the president is understood to ----e endorsed the view of Secretary Mel lon that bonus legis.etlon now m4Eht le a serious embarrassment 10 the treasury, and even 10 have -1 -scsted that ali other legislative business le suspended tN rer- mt completion Of the tariff and tax re- visions as soon as possible BN those who talked with hin he was qIotel as favorine recess congress whi'' ;he committees in charge are hastening per lection Of the two measures on account of which the special session was called.
 lt was indicated that Mr. Harding S Views would be set forth at greater length in a special message 10 congress which may be sent 10 the capitol tomor- row. The document is expected to deal particularly with the bonus bill and to set forth that while the administration regards itself as committed to some leg station for relief of war veterans it sees DO reason for acting precpitately.
 While the president was giving his opinion Co senator after senator in his room just or the senate chamber the senate itself was debating the bonus bill with sponsors for the measure confident of iis passage. By an overwhelming vote the bill had been brought to the senate floor as a special order of busi- ness and the senators in charge were in- ci.ned to predice that even the opposi- tfcu Of Secretary Mellon would not be sufficient 10 delay it.
 Leaders tonight had not made a can vass to ascertain just how much weight the visit of the president might have, and the disposition in most quarters was Co await Mir. Harding's message before forcing a showdown. After the message has been received it is regarded as likely rhat an attempt will be made to send the bonus bill back 10 committee and then secure another vote on the recess pro- posal which failed several days ago.
 In their opposition 10 a recess the bonus advocates are expected to have the aid of various other senate clements who want action on some particular class of legislation Not the least potential of these groups 1t generally is expected r.iu be the agricultural bloc, who are de fern,ined to put through a series Of rellei measures for the farmer

DEMOCRATS WILL OPPOSE
 THE TARIFF BILL

Washington, July 7.-The permanent tariff bill as drawn by republican mem bers of the house ways and means com mittee. took top place on the house cal endar today, not to be displaced by other legislation until voted on July 21.
 The day was devoted to having it read paragraph by paragraph while members sat and sweltered without giving heed to the monotonous droning of a relay of reading clerks.
 Immediately upon adjournment, demo- cratic members held a conference at which it was said, with half a dozen exceptions" it was agreed that the party should stand as a unit against the bill.
 A resolution was adopted at the con- ference declaring that the measure vio- lated all principles and traditions of the democratic party, and reaffirming the party's stand against high protective tariff.
 The reading had not been concluded when the house quit work for the day, and before general debate begins tomor- row the reading will be concluded and rule adopted shutting off all but few general amendments and such others as may be offered by the committee.
 Outstanding in the first days work on the bill was the presentation of minor ity statement by democratc members or the ways and means committee who charged that the republican tariff pro- gram would mean destruction of the na- tion's foreign trade, bring new hardships on the taxpaying public through the sys- tenn of American valuation of imports and establish rates higher than hereto tore ever written.
 The majority report and dissenting statement by Representative Frear of Wisconsin. the only republican member of the committee to break away from his party stand, already had been laid before the members.
 The democrats in their report declared the bill to be a conspiracy to benefit "a Jew favorites at the expense of all hu- nanity," and added that its adoption would mean an economic boycott against me whole world.
 Tt you'd be sunerhuous, the report continued, ito occupy any space in show ,ng the intimate relations which bind to- gether the benefciaries of this bill and the republican organization.
 When, therefore, we see in this meas are the taxing power transferred to tht men who subscribed lavishly during the campaign, we know at once that hert business is in full operation"

NO DEVELOPMENTS IN
 IRISH PEACE MOVEMENT

London, July (By the A P.).-The Irish peace movement on the surface made no further progress today, but hopes remain high mainly on account of the fact that General Shuts, premier of South Africa, is, taking such an active part in the negotiations, with an evident purpose to translate into practical poli- tics the kings message and exhortation for forbearance at the opening of the Ulster parliament
 The kings evident and serious interest in bringing about peace is also a strong factor in the situation. His proffer of Buckingham Palace for the meetings of the proposed conference points in the di- rection of repetition of the peace ef- fort of 1914, when the home rule con ferences assembled in the palace under the chairmanship of the Rt. Hon. James William Lowrther, then speaker of the house of commons.
 It is believed that if an independent chairman were appointed to the confer ence now contemplated. especially Gen. ersl Shuts, who is trusted by the Irish people, there would be a far greater chance of MT. De Valera accepting the conference It is probable, however, that nothing will develop definitely pending tomorrow's Dublin conference betweer the Irish republican leader and the southern unionists. General Shuts vii not attend this conference.
 According to latest information, MT De Valera is maintaining the republican claim but is willing to give the Irish peo pie full opportunity to decide upon any serious proposition.
