A compromise has been reached regarding the tariff o. Phil ippine sugar and tobacco as a result of the conference yesterday between Mr. Tart and the majority members of the committee. That the House of Itcpresontutives will pasB a bill which will revise thoroughly the present schedules 1b generally admitted. At yesterday b conference Mr. Taft did not discuss any particular sched ules, but expressed the desire to take up some schedules at some fu ture time. Ho also favored action on the part of the committee that would bring before It those manu facturers who have expressed their views publicly on the tariff ques tion, as well as any persons who could furnish vnltiuhle information In regard to the proposed revision. Chairman Fay no said tonight that Andrew Carnegie was the only wit ness who has been subpoenaed up to the present, and It, therefore, will be necessary for the committee to hold further meetings after ' the ChristniHS holidays. Revision up to Senate, With Mr. Taft and the House In favor of a tariff law which will meet present conditions . and materially revise present duties, mainly down ward, the discussion of the situation centers In the possible action ot the senate. While some assert the In- per House will not attempt to make any radical changes in the House hill to Bueh an extent that Mr. Taft would be likely to veto It. this latter responsibility. It Is believed, may have the effect of getting through the Senate the bill which the House accepts. It Is considered likely that the extra session of Congress will last lale into the Bummer.
