Washington, Mirch 31. A compr n.lso Is to be agie-cl to by the various fn i .i s on the republican side of the Hon r -gnrding the "onsldf ration of the ivnn tariff bill, and It Is confidently expet-tr ' that the measure will he voted uj.on nn April 10. There was a notlcoable til-position f i the part of tho "stand patters" to-'n following their conference wltn Premil Taft yesterday, to accede to the v is.ic t f those who httvu opposed any "g.ig r I which would pi event u voto or. crtn i Important schedule. The wavs n 1 mean.', committee have agreed to s i n t amendments to the hill which will tea on the free list, strike out tile f mit,t -vailing duty on coffee nnd ninking t '. rate on barley cents a bushel. While it probably will be inipn-slhle to have a rule to limit amendments f.T, -ably acted upon before Monday, Rei -resentatlve Invight of New York Is ma, -Ins every effort ot get the members In line, Speaker Cannon.

Representative Tawney fM'nn .) nt 1 Smith of I own, are the leaders In t- fight to have certain Important schedules submitted to a vote by the Hnti'e. Fears that the Senate will not meko changes In tho bill which they desire, nnd their determination to satisfy thr r constituents that they are looking aft- r their interests In the House, are tha mam reasons certain republican mem- i hern nre holding out for a rule which will permit th-m to accomplish th?o nbtccts vp to this time the "stand p-tt-ters" have agreed to permit the dist-.s-slon for amendments of the pitingr..' s on hides anil lumber. It probnblv v i be neressary however for them to gr-t- the same permission with a regard to the reciprocity clause on bituminous r- 1 and the paragraph which places lr n oie on the free list. The republican members of the Ml, . gan.lowa, and Wisconsin delegations ' t conferences to-day, each tleleg.itioi -1 -elding upon the schedules on which t" -demand that the special rule shall t -vide for a vote. Most of the me.nbt rs of these delegations desire an Increi 1 tax on beer and the lowering of t e duties on gloves and hosiery. Pome w the repent of the provision for an ' herltanco tax. It Is said that the wn and means committee may report i amendment which will provide for a 1 x nu all dividends from stocks and b 1 This has been pr-Mf-'e-l as n means ' r inlslng the Jlfl enn ct of revenue w' It Is estimated tl.e Payne h'll w provide for the tax on tea nnd luru'i- r The ways ami means committee tn.,ln further considered the amendments w' 'c"i It will offer to the bill. The tiriff cr-e-m'sion met several members nf the c m mittee to discuss the proposition which they advocate. J. ,T. Hill, the rallrna I magnate, called nn Speaker t'annon ar 1 Informally discussed the tariff with 1 -i and with members of the tariff framing committee nnd Repi esentatlve Tawney of Minnesota. Mr. Hill Is understood ti hi In favor of revealing the duty on lumber but would not so express himself for publication.

The situation v.ilh which the leaders of the House ,f Representatives find themselves c-ir--ftot:ted In dealing with the Payne tai ff bill continues to give greatest concei n at the White House. It Mas ail t-- 1 ,v that President Taft had been direct' appealetl to by Speaker Cannon u id Lenders Payne 'and D.ilzell yesterd y when they spent more than an hour an 1 a, half with the chief eoctitive nt t' a White House. The tactics of the "lnsnr. rents" are worrying the leaders to e en a greater degree than thev tue w Hit g to admit and It Is to "bring these re calcitrants" Into line that the P i-sulr' "'s ah' has beon sought. ' It has been represented to M-. T " according to current report, tint U i Insurgents nre not living up to ti letter of the verbal agreement th v made with him nt the time of the tlgl't rgalnst the House rules nt the begin ning of the ptesent session. At tint tlmo the 'insurgents" nre saltl to have pledged themselves not to oppose the tariff bill If the President would asr-'O to keep his hands off tho fight to re vise tho rules. This arrangement w i.s agreeable to Mr. Taft. Now tho Houso lenders claim the "insurgents" nre no only opposing the bill but are making combinations with the democrats to the extent of threatening tho effec tiveness of the measure. They sny they cannot put the bill thtough tn satisfactory shape until tho "Insur gents" are whipped Into line. It Is said that President Taft hns ben appealed to use his Influence to pcnm.uU the republicans who nre helping to endan ger the bill to abandon their attitude. It Is declared that only In this way can a definite arrangement be mado or n limitation bo plnced upon debate nnd nmendtnents. The President Is con sidering tho mutter. According to opinions expressed nt tho Whllo House to-day tho President v.-Ml find conditions more favorable In tho Benato than In tho House. Ho Is said to have received tho assurnnco ot thti leaders there that they were In smpathy with him and will uphold his policy ttf tho best of their ability. Tho Prrsldept himself Mated a day or two ago that ho had been assured that tlic Senate wis agieeable tn the maximum and mlnililiiin pilnclplo of the Payne bill.
