Tbo con forces on the tariff bill appointed to

Is no dlQlculty anticipated in coming to an

ities is thnt the senate and house mn > havean
opportunity to vote independently on the

cates of No 13 as the dividing line ol free
and dutablo sugars say that the liouso will
agree with tbo senate by a largo majority.
There is a difference of opinion between the
house nnd sonata conferees as to the thna
when the bill will bo reported bick to ttio
senate. Tlio latter say they will have finished
by Saturday or Monday at the furthest ,
while the former aroof opinion that an agree
ment cannot boicachod by Monday. A basis
of agreement tint lias an uir of probability
about It Is as follows : The kouso ulll agree
to the senate's amendments respecting rccip-

igin solely to the pursuance of a definite line
ot lomrncrclul nolle ) ' , lie would notundcrtako
to say. Ho had no wish to impute unfilemlly
motives , yet undeniably Its ellects would bo
detrimental to Canada's Interests It would
check und hnvo a tendency to diminish Us
volume of commciclal Intercourse between
the two countries. Hut the fault of such a
result could not bo attributed to Canada. Ho
said that since the abrogation of the re
ciprocity ticity of 185-1 , the ilHTerent fovcrn-
incuts , conservative und reform alike , had
endeavored to secure lmpro\ed trade relations
between tha two countuea. If the McKInley
billpa&sed , Canadians were not going to cry
about it like children , but meet It In the best
way tncy could. After the renunciation of
the old icclproelty treaty , Canada opened up
new channels of trade , and In a few yms the
pcoplo were almost in as good a position ns
e\er. In the snmo manly spirit in which they
acted then they must act now.
