(Speclal.)—At of the tariff debate and a vote in the senate on the pending bill, as amended approaches, considerable interest to the probable personnel of the conference commitice on the part of the two houses, confercnce committees have in the last three great tariff bills so completely the measures that it Is expected confy nee on the present bill will no exceptional result Aldrich, as chalrman of the fi- nance committee, will, of course, head the #eveh members on behalf of the senate.

The wscleetion of the house Is belleved, will show a arture usual practice of taking members fr the 0 parties according to thelr rank on the mittee, With that view and be- cause of the known attitude of members toward tariff legislation, 1t is assumed that Speaker Capnon will prefer Boutell and Ford who are stanch protectionists, o members of superigr rank, such as McCall and Hill, who have not vs been un- compromising protectionists, Calderhead | Needham also outrank Boutell and Fordney on the committee, but they have ot shown the same geal for the preserva- ton of the protective polcy.

If there were any available s tisties of speculation as when congress will get through with the tariff, it would probably be indicative that the senate will complete consideration and reach a vote by the last week In May.
