The subject Is being quietly dlecusiied and Republicans were sounded this nfter- noon as to their feeling in regard to the matter. It Is said that the committee Is urged to effect tbo repeal of this law II possible, and efforts In that direction nre being made. Tho Republican leaders de cline to commit themselves, but It Is un. deratood they will oppose any attempt to revive the tariff agitation and will not permit amendment, however smnll.
