The highly important gentlemen who are to constitute the tar ff conference committee have practically been se lected by the Republican leaders of the House and Senate. The members. as usual, will be chosen 'according to .seniority of service on the finance and ways and means committees, with a single exception in the case of Senator Cullom, wno is one of the veteran members of the Senate com m ttee.

The House Republicans who start ed out to make a show of downward revision and ended about where they began, have undoubtedly been sorely innoyed by flagrant disregard of the'r policy by Aldrich and his committee. ind they are sa'd to be seriously con sidering the advisability of a rule from the rules committee especially formed for the handling of Senate intendments to the tariff bill. The adoption of any new rule. Intended to expedite the passage of the bill, will be attended with the same difficulties the rules committee had at the begin ning of the session, with chances of aggravated opposition because of the kind of tariff bill the Senate has to propose.

The Southern Senators were glv;n some thing of a surprise today by the Sen ate leaders who consented to the plac ing of sulphate of ammonia on the free list. This ingredient, which Is used In the manufacture of fditlllrers Is largely exported from Germany. 1 he Southern Senators were very much Interested in placing sulphate of am monia on the free list, and they were prepared to discuss the subject for a great length of time In order to ac complish this result. Senator Sim mons had been selected to open, the debate. He had prepared an elabo rate speech, and when he Aros-j to of fer his amendment preparatory to be ginning his argument. Senator Aid- rich announced that the committee would consent to this product7 go-hg on the free list It is estimated that cutting ammonia on .the free Uet will effect a saving of fifty cents a ton to the users of fertilizers.

The Michigan senator wanted to know If the policy of protection had tot made three districts in North Carolina. Re publican last year. Senator Overman replied that the people who voted the Republican ticket In North Carolina last year did so under the Impression that the Re publican party would live up to Its pledges and revise the tariff down ward, but they now realized that-they had been deceived, for the revision o fsr has been upwards. Senator Overman would hot let his antagonist get away from the fact that the harvester trust is a monopoly ind had el'mlnated competition as the result of protective duties.
