FATE OF SPEAKER CANNON Bis Arrival at Washington Thursday Expected to End Talk. Washington, Nov. 24.—The arrival •f Speaker Cannon at the capita) not later than Thursday is awaited by his friends with the belief that bis presence will put an end to the reports that President-elect Taft will oppose his reelection to the speakership. As the members of the present congress who are to serve in the Sixty-first congress arrive the interest In the speakership grows, and ts rapidly becoming the principal theme of discussion. The attitude of speaker Cannon on the tariff is understood by most of the representatives to be the principal objection that will be urged against bis re-election as speaker, and it is believed that he will make his position so clear when he arrives, both by word and action, that there will he complete and agreeable understanding reached between the speaker and Taft in regard to the revision. It is understood that bo arrangements have been made for a conference between the two. Speaker Cannon's friends sky that he would hardly go to Hot Springs to confer with the president-elect without an Invitation.* " The statement of Cbainuan Payne,

if tbe committee on ways and means, that a new tariff hill will bf* framed during the coming session of congress for enactment Into law at a special session fell far short of ending tbe discussion as to how the tariff will be revised. The framing of a hill at this session I* taken by some who say they are fighting for a thorough revision of the tariff as an Indication that the, schedule would be reviewed too hastily and without intention of much change. Others say they can be no party to interference by tbs executive or pres-ident-elect with the organization of the house. CARNEGIE 1$ CALLED UPON Tariff Inquisitors Would Like Him Talk to ThemNov. 24. Chairman Payne, of the bouse committee on -rays and means, has sent a telegram to Andrew Carnegie in New York city, asking him to appear this week, preferably tomorrow, to give the committee such information as he possesses in regard to the Iron and steel industry and tariff schedules. Sitting in a long night session to consider tbe tariff schedules on tiles, lime, cement, carbons and kindred articles the committee put in full time at work. In tbe course of the night session H. L. Sheppard and Orln F. Perry, of tbe Rockland-Rockport (Maine) Lime company, were put through a grilling examination when they asked that the present duty of 5 cents a hundred pounds on lime be maintained. Perry asserted that his company was organized in 1900, when seven or eight firms were purchased. He admitted the price of lime had advanced ever since. Chairman Payue asked why Perry’s firm was the only one that demands a duty. “Because we are so near to the Canadian manufacturers and because ours is tbe best made in the United States," he replied. ‘‘Why we have the best in the world right in New York," declared Payne, with a show of state pride. “les; we sell most of our product in New York,” retorted Perry. Using figures supplied him. Representative Clark figured out that the company is making 24 per cent profit.

As to the Money Question. Washington, Nov. 24. —General revision of the financial system cannot be hoped for at the coming session of congress, but the members of the national monetary commission expect there will be a law passed corrective of some of the developed evils in tbe administrative features of banking.
