" can floor Leader Mondell finds "that
the place he now haa may be take

forces in the House. The Bouse
agricultural bloe has had res
resentment growing in bent since the
speech of Secretary Weeks and in the
present frame of mind of its mem
bert there is trouble gathering for
the leaders who are of the regular
squad of Republicans.

at in the light that its members

position the blot wll have the sup
port of many lawyers ia the Boum
who take the position that such
provision ia the tariff bill would be
aaeonstitutional in that U would be
a delegation of the powers of Con
gress in the making of a tariff, Aad

Dublin, Dee. 17. (By the Assoc!

mained in secret session until late
tonight in aa endeavor to thresh eat
personal political difficulties among
tht members, with ths prospect that
it might eoma out Into public tet
aioa on Monday reconciled nt least
to he yxtent, of, presenting, a, solid,

towfrd the Anglo-Irish reay.
Expect Ratlflcatlaa.
There appeared to be no question
tonight but thnt the treaty would
be ratified, but ia view of the fact
that so many membere of the Irish
legislative body wiah to proclaim
their respective positions it wm
considered hsrdly likely that a flail
vote could bo taken before next
Wednesday.
People Impatient
If reports reaching Dublin tonight
If rem ether parts ef Ireland aisy be
accepted ss correct, the general pub
lie aparently is becoming irritated
at the delay in settling the big ques
tioa that is oa everybody's mind
These reports indiestt thst the gen
eral Irish public would like to see
the Dail quickly ratify the treaty,
snd let tht leaders of the opposing
factions settle their twa political
figbtt afterward.
LONDON CONFIDENT THAT

London, Dee. 17. (By the Asso

that the Anglo-Irish treaty ulti
mately will be accepted by the Dail
Eireann, tr by ths Irish people, if a
referendum should become neest
sary. But ths unexplained, prelon ga
tioa ef the secret debstot fas Dublin
hu begua to cause seats anxiety
here, which it tomcwhat augmented
by tht remembrance ef many similar
prolonged debates oa tht Irishytlde
daring tht conns si ths negotia

that document
The English public mind today ap
peared to revert to former Premier
Asqoiin s warning noout a maiig
Beat gsnlus" hovering over Irish af'
fairs, and this 'uneasiness wm in
creased by rumors of important
modifications of the treaty to be tuo
gested from Dublin, entailing pos
sibly sntirely new negotiations.
Might Destroy Treaty
Should this unexpected count be
ndopted, nobody here seems to hnow
how tht government would meet It
During the course of the debate oa
the treaty ia ths House of Commons
Prims Minister Lloyd George took
the stand that aa attempt by parlia-
meat to modify ths treaty woald
destroy It aad necessitate a bow eoa

by the Dail woald havs the same ef
feet.
Then wm much political gossip ia
the lobbies of Parliament yesterday
after the votee were takea concern

proroguing parliament, many metn
bert apparently-not being convinced
by the government's explanation
thnt it wm necessary to wait for the
