WORKING IN SENATE FOR
 THE SOLDIERS BONUS BILL

washing. Aug. 2f.-senate republican raders continued negotiations today for unanimous consent agreement for 8 inzi nenato vote on the soldiers bonus bin. tut apparently with little prospect sf immediate success. Some progress vas reported. but 1t was understood that -four or five senators objected to an agreement at this time.
 The bonus measure is the senat's un- finished business and will be taken up after the senate reeenvenes Wednesday Chairman McCumber of the finance com u,lftee. plans to deliver a prepared ad- dress at that time in support of 1t and some majority leaders said t1at unless .ncre was an agreement fT time fer Inc final vote the legislation would pave been fought out to finish on the soor.
 Estimates as to the time which would kc required 10 pass the measure in the absence Of any agreement varied, but 1t appeared that it might require several seeks Several substitute measures have been proposed and, in addition, many amendments 10 the committee draft are prousised- All of these are expected to lead to more or less prolonged dis sussion.
 After the bonus is passed by the ssaate and the general belief at the capitol i: shat it will go through finally by a sub rantizl majority-it would, in the usua course, be sent to conference for the com tossing of differences between the senate and house. In that event it would b' handled by the same conference com nittce to which the tsriff measure vii se referred this week with little prosper hat it would receive attention until aft srt the committee had completed it's worl ,n the tariff.

TO AWAIT REpR1SrrxG OF
 THE AMENDED TARIFF BILL

Washington, Aug. 21.-The house got the administration tariff bill back from the senate today, but did not send it to conference. This next step in the now long drawn out journey of the measure must await a reprinting of thes amend ed bill, which is expected to be conlpict- ed tomorrow or Wednesday. The ex- perts had hoped to have 1t ready today, but they found the senate had male so many and complicated changes in the original house bill that their task proved far more difficult than they had alitici- pated.
 When the reprint is ready, republican house leadtrs plan to send the measure to ; conference under special rule which may permit of little or no discussion on the floor At the same time the house conferees will be named and they will have their first session with the senate managers probably on Thursday as i Chairman McCumber of the senate com mittee expects to be occupied in the sen ate Wednesday with the soldiers bonus bill
 i In anticipation of acting on the tarif 1 the house had a quorum today for tho first time since it reasssmbled last week The announcement of the senase clerl that the measure had been passed l., | tile senate ana conference FSQEeStef was greeted with mingled applause ant with other work, but the tariff formed before the house, that body went anea' laughter. As the measure was not lait the chief topic of private discussion oi the floor and in the cloak rooms. Some of the senate rates, principal, those in the cutlery schedule, apparentl are opposed by number of house mem bers and these along with American val uation and the duties on dyes, are ex pected to furnish subjects of sharp con troversy in conference.
 Some leaders of the republican agrl cultural bloc in the house expressed ai proval of the agricultural, sugar an wool rates as fixed by the senate.
 It was the judgment of majority the conferees that the American valua tion question would be the first su5Je,
 coming up for settlement in the confer ence.

WHY ATTEMPT WAS MADE
 TO KILL MICHAEL COLLINS


 London. Aug. 21 (By the A P3.-' Americans who have recently arrived here from Dublin declare that the at tempt to kill Michael. Collins, head of the Irish provisional government, was fore cast in IreIand, and was planned, first, to secure the removal of the sole remain ing outstanding figure in that govern ment, and thereby weaken the Free State movement and second, as 2, measure of reprisai against the shooting of Harry J. Roland by Free State soldiyrs.
 On the walls of Trirpaty college and other public buildings is the inscription in white paint "Harry Roland nur- dered," while handbills pasted on teQe- graph poles by irregulars assert that Roland was shot by Free State troops when he was unarmed after having been remved from his bed
 The provisional government asserts that Boland was trying to escape when 1 shot down
 Boiand was popular figure and Irish men who dared talk at all about the gen ! eraa political situation voiced the fear [ that Boland's death would lead to as- sassinations Nightly flHsllades and bombings have reduced the Dublin popu- lation to a state of terrorism
 The criminal element of the country gurimen as they are termed in Dublin are taking advantage of the disturbed conditions. and numerous persons have informed the Americans that they have been held up in the streets and robbed ot their valuabaas. The railroad stations public buildings and the Shelbureaf hotel the sole remaining hostelry of in1por tance. are constantly guarded by troop. with drawn weapons to meet isolated st. tacks from irregulars who turk about tn, city in civilian clothes and do not hesi tate to shoot down soldiers of the pro visional army
 The Americans added that their talk with the average citizen, including DOT ters. cab drivers and workmen,e brourh forth the assurance that S5 to 90 De cent Of the people of Ireland were solidl, behind the Free State movement.
