WABHTNOTntT. Mar 1 (Special Tel (rani.) With th punia of the farmer' free list bill, which may b expected on Monday or Tuesday at the very lateat, th honaa come (ace to fee with Ita flrat real legislative problem. It ha been recog nised from tha beginning of thla extraor dinary aesslon of congress that the demo crats majority would undergo the severest teat of Ita new found cohesion, solidarity and discipline, when It came to revlae downward tha cotton and wolpn schedules. Theaa two Items of tariff making and the admission of Arizona and New Mexico to statehood will complete the democratic pro grain of house activities. It aeema probable that the itatehood Mil will be brought up for consideration In the houae before the revision of the wool erhed ule la undertaken. It will serve to occupy the time for a while and Rive the membeTs of tha way and means committee a longer period to devlaa a , woolen arhedule which can be submitted to a democratic caucus. If the preliminary work of watting a arhedule haa not been completed when the debate over the admiaelon of Arlaona and New Mexico IS out of the way, tha houee will follow the present ncnate fashion and alt only on Mondaj and Thursdays. It la now the established custom of the respon alble democratic leader not to offer any party measure In the house for considera tion In debate until a party caucua has approved It, thua Insuring a united ma jority against a minority caurus. It la premature to pay that the house democrats are ;ilit over the question of whether raw wool should hear a revenue duty or should be admitted free. Cnde nlnlily there Is a difference of opinion among tha democrats of the houie. hut It Is far from true that the differences are Irreconcilable. Kver since tha new .eon arena began their have been predictions of divisions and splits in the majority. Une after another these predictions hare not come true. Kven now there, Is coins; on constantly and dally private negotiations 4a t'rmmrnm(u A i fV,i-.i.er a 1K am.l. It un -of Taw wool. ' . ' The Ways and means committee will make no effort to force 4 bill 'upon tha majority, If strong difference (re, mani fested on the woolen schedule, - I may he lrtually rewritten In the caucus. None of the democrats has said ha ? would not abide by the caucua even if his own con. mil tees did not prevail. The house member has one advantage at this time In revising downward wool and the cotton schedules. The democrats know their decision and . what their work will be Is, In fact, almost academic. None of them at the moment believea that any revision of the duties on eglto nand wool and manufactures thereof which are adopted " by the houae and aent to tha senate would be reported out of the finance committee of the other blanch at thla session. In revising theae two tariff schedules the democrats have reason to believe that they will only be setting down definitely for the benefit of the country what tiio party would do if It were in control In the senate as well as In the house. The White Hous may be left out of consideration, for President Taft will approve any measure of tariff ' reduction thai pauses both branches of Con Kress. Anyone who Is at all willing to make the inquiry can receive definite assurances from numeiotis senttors that the only tariff measure which the senate will enact at ths session is .the Canadian reciprocity bill. Th finance committee will report even this measure reluctantly and not be cause It wants to, but because it must. The members of thla committee and the ma jority -of the republican aunator have no present intention of bringing the farmers' free list bill to light or to give any con sideration to the cotton and woolen revision that may be passed by the house. President toft will not seek to Induce the senate to take any other attitude. The president s sole concern al this seaalon Is Canadian reciprocity. It is the only meas ure which he haa asked congrea to pass. It la the only, pending proposition in which ' he haa any Interest or which ha even seeks to expedite.

Fields of Kentucky, a new democratic member, be gan the debate on the free list bill In the house today by humorously chiding Min ority leader Mann. "I hope," he aald. "that my speech will not worry the gentleman from Illinois. It Is not so much the speeches of the new democrats that worry the minority leader, but our presence here and the demonstra tion of the overthrow of the republican party. "Sixteen years ago there waa a wedding. Mr. Republican Party married Mi as Money. They started fn to live happily ever after, but there were no legitimate children. They accepted, however, three children. Andrew, John D. rfnd J. P., and trouble after trouble followed until they have been driven from home." Cannon Takea Floor. After Representatives Collier of Missis sippi and Carter of Oklahoma had spoken In favor of the bill, former Speaker Can non took the floor in opposition. He re ferred to It aa the "balm of Ollead." of fered by the democrats to the farmers b cmuae of the pasaage of the Canadian rec iprocity bllL Then dissecting the measure he endeavored to show that Its benefits would not be important. Mr. Cannon demanded to know whr lire cattle, rice and tbef products of tha south had not been put on the free list bill. whn theae products tit the northern farmer had been deprived of protectlAn by the reciprocity meaaure. He Intimated that southern member on the waya and means committee had kept the tariff protection on southern products. "And you wool raisers of Montana and Wyqomlng are In a bad way," he added, "unless Texas cornea to your rescue." Blames Publishers for It, Renewing an attack on reciprocity, Mr. Cannon said: "I believe this secret agreement never would have been' made If It had not been demanded by the great publishing Interests of the country." President Taft'a speech at the publishers banquet in New Tork he said was a "tine piece of humor; better than anything of 'Clemens.' "In it the president urged the publisher to b constant' in favoring the passage of the reciprocity bill without amendment." Mr. Cannon alao referred to the Asso ciated Press saying it was made up of the publishers and that In turn It was a great organisation and that he "would not kill it if he could."'. , , "I loat my temper over the reciprocity pact," aald Mr. Cannon. "I felt that those whp represented two-thirds of the people were willing to sacrifice the others to answer the hysterl calory raised by the demagogue, the democrats and the news, papers." He predicted that the democrats would be overthrown in the next election. Actress Answers to the Last Call Mrs. Barney Williams, Known -to Playgoers of Generation " Ago, Dead in New York. NEW TOrtK.

The federals charged Uie city Monday morning and after a brisk engage ment lasting an hour and ten minutes, which resulted In no casualties on either aide, both forces left th city.
