May Postpone Tariff Revision.

Senator Cullom, the new chairman of the Foreign Relations Committee in the Senate, hopes to call up the reciprocity treaties now pending in theSenate before that committee when Congress reassembles after the holidays. Senator Cullom does not look forward to any general tariff revision at this session of Congress. “I hope to get the treaties up before the committee,” said Senator Cullotp at Washington Thursday, "but what the policy will be with reference to these treaties I am unable to say, as 1 have had no conference with the members on this subject. The treaties now pending are in line with the suggestion of the late President McKinley. I consider it my duty to try to ascertain at once what it will be advisable to do with these treaties, and either to try to secure their ratification or dispose of them hi some other way.”
