one row tain NO AGREEMENT, HOWEVER, IS REACHED ON THE PHILIPPINE TARIFF BILL STATEHOOD MUST BE PART. House Leaders So Oeclare Feeling More Bitter as Fight Goes On. BT ASSOCIATED PRESS. "WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.

Reports of a compromise between the Republican leaders and the Republican opponents of the Philippine tariff bill were discussed to-day by members of Congress, but nothing like a detlnite proposition has been made, and consequently no understanding has been reached. One of the best sugar men has suggested to Chairman Payne and Mr. "H1 that a compromise might be orterea which would prohibit the importation of a certain amount of sugar ana tobacco from the Philippines. This was not seriously considered these members of the ways and means committee, as they ar confident of RuSflclent votes to pass the bill without material amendment. There was just enough in the suggestion, however, to cause discussion among members of the House, who are very much Interested in the present conditions.

House Managers Determined. It is understood that no proposition for a compromise will be considered by the House managers unless the hood bill is also made a part of the agreement. A combination having been formed by the opponents of the Philippine bill and the opponents of the joint Statehood bill any compromise one must include the other, which means that te leaders will not agree to a modification of the Philippine bill In the sugar and tobacco interests unless those who seek such a compromise abandon the fight against the Statehood bill. Speaker Cannon and his supporters feel that they are sure of the Philippine bill, and tha't it would be useless to compromise on that unless some advantage could be gained with the other measure about which there is so much doubt, but which they believe they will eventually be able to pass without amendment. Ground for Suggestion.

The suggestion for a compromise on the Philippine bill was made on the ground that the Republicans would be able to pass a modified measure with Republican votes, as it is believed the Democrats would oppose any amendment look- lng to a restriction tipou the importation of products of the islands, but the House leaders do not agree that the Philippine bill will need Democratic votes in its present form.

Four of the most important pieces of legislation to be considered by this es pensne political trick of the machine leaders will be presented by Allegheny countians. David A. Wilbert is to present the chamber of commerce Greater Pittsburgh bill.

He is on the road here with it now. This is the measure prepared by D. T. Watson and George Guthrie for the admission and enactment of which Governor Pennypacker supplemented his call. All the legislators have received copies of the rather meaningless annexation measure of the Merchants and Manufacturers association.

Robert WcWiiinnej- is to offer a legislative re-apportionment bill which has aeainst it the fact that Max Leslie ha3 much to do with its preruiration and the. gerrymandering of the Allegheny county districts.

The Greater Pittsburgh Bill.

All the Allegheny countians on the ground are being by the up-State legislators for information about the Greater Pittsburgh scheme. The country members want to know whether the Allegheny county delegation will be united in support of any bill. and. of course, the Pittsburghers must reply that such a thing is improbable. It may take a week or more to get anv sort of an idea upon the sort of bill the assembly Is disposed to pass, for it seems likely now that least three measures dealing with this liiestion will lie offered.

The car ran down the Brighton road hill, from Winthrop street to Woods Run avenue, a distance of a Quarter of a mile, before the conductor, who stuck to the car. managed to stop it by applying the hand brakes at the rear end. The injured are: Dennis O'Neal, motorman, 25 years old and single, of 2612 Lehland avenue, Allegheny, bad scalj) wound, skull probably fractured, face and hands cut and bruised, and back sprained; condition serious: taken to St. John's General hospital.

Interesting to Alleghenians. McWhlnney's bill Is interesting to Alle-ghenv countians. Under its provisions 19 counties would lose a member each and 11 would make gains. Allegheny county leading the latter class with a gain of eight, making the delegation consist of 2. burgh would have 10 representatives.

Alle-ghenv four, McKeesport one and the country districts nine. The two Allegheny districts, the First and Second wards would be undisturbed, except that their numbers would be changed. The First. Third. Fourth, Seventh, Eighth, Twelfth.

Thirteenth and Fourteenth wards of Pittsburgh would1 constitute the First district, two assemblymen. The Second district would be composed iOf the Second. Fifth. Sixtn, I Eleventh and Fifteenth wards, with two members. The Third district oma nae but one member, the Fourth two members, the Fifth, two.

the Sixth, composed of the big East End wards, two. The Seventh district would be composed of the Southside and the Fortieth ward, and would be represented by three men. The cty of McKeesport would constitute the Eighth district, with one representative, and the country in between the Yough. Ohio and Monongahela rivers would compose the Ninth district with three members. All the boroughs and townships south of the Ohio, lying along the Pan Handle railroad would make up the Tentn district with four members.

The boroughs and townships north of the Allegheny and Ohio rivers would comprise the Eleventh, with two assemblymen. The Bill Is 3ctched. As usual, Leslie botched things, and the McWhinney bill is imperfect, several wards being included in several proposed districts. Together with the Senatorial apportionment bill that Flinn and Leslie jabbed into, it will be considered at a caucus of the Allegheny county delegation to-morrow afternoon. Because the Rev.

Wesley Sullivan likes his fee of $1 for the prayer that marks the opening of the Senata session, that body will likely be fin-barrase1 a bit when it convenes in the afternoon. It is alleged that the Rev. Mr. Sullivan ha-5 joined the Jersey lor.gshoremen. and is no longer to rfcpive pay as a State employe in the ministerial line.

His removal from the State is not. denied, but Mr. Sullivan insists that he was ejected for a period of two years, and contends tint it his duty to pray for the Stale official" and lawmakers. If he is not permitted to do sr threatens to sue for his Meanwhile Dr. E.

Knox, of Westtnorelnnd county, has been appointed to tak Mr. Sullivan's place, and both ministers will likely be on hand to-morrow. Subjects for Consideration. There will be seven subjects to consider the extra session, necessitating the appointing of nine standing committees. The intention is to divide the membership of the House so that each member will have a place on one of these working The following pine committees will be mentioned in a resolution that will he offered to-morrow: General judiciary, appropriations, barks and banking, senatorial apportionment, representative apportionment, municipal corporations, elections, compare bills and account-.

The- latter two will not be regarded as working committees, as there will be. oniy one meeting of each committee during the session, the rules of the House making that necessary. The appropriations committee will meet to tlx the expenses of the special session and also adjust the amount necessary for the increase in the act pertaining to bridges, which is an item in the governor's proclamation. To Facilitate Business. Heretofore there was but one committee on legislative apportionment, but the rule will be changed so that there will lie two committees on legislative apportionment, one known as tiie senatorial and the other as the representative.

This will ftoill'ate he business of the session and properly allot the work to those interested in this kind of legislation without the interference of one subject with the other. Seven of the above committee, not Including accounts and compare bills, will have a membership of at least 20, the judiciary general possibly having more, which will give a place to nil of the members on each of the committees named. The committee on elections, with the other work it will have on, may possibly have to decide oil the Luzerne county question, as Iarry Holeomb, member from that county. coming l.cre to claim his seat, notwithstanding; that an election was held in his district to till the vacancy caused by his resignation shortly niter the regular session adjourned last April. Luzerne County Tangle.

Mr. Holeomb at that time was promise! a federal position. As the office he ex-peeted to get was incompatible with the one he held he resigned his neat in ti.e. House. He failed to get the federal job, and then recalled his resignation.
