Washington, March 24.?President Wilson started work in earnest ? ?night ? ?a what he considers the foremost 'ask of his administration?revision "t* the tnrilT. He had a long confer? ence at the White I louse with Itepre sentative Underwood, the Democratic majority leader, und canvassed not only the details of tin- tariff bill drawn liy Hi ? ways and means com? mittee of the house, hut gave con? sideration also i,? i m- strateg) neces? sary to slier the tariff question speed? ily and effectively through both houses of congress. The question immediately upper? most in tin- minds of members of congress now is whether the tariff/] should be revised schedule by sched? ule or In a single tariff. The party caucufl will decide the issue, l nt tin- wishes of the president are being consulted by Democratic lead? ers. Tin- Idea of coming to an agree? ment on a single measure carrying with it the weight of the administra? tion's approval lias appealed strongly io the president, because it suggested more expeditious action and the pos? sibility of legislation <>n currency and nther questions before the adjourn? ment (?i tin- extra session. Close friends and supporters of Mr. Wilson. l>oih In the house and the senate, however, openly have been question? ing the advisability of a single tariff bill, renewing the objection hitherto raised thai sectional Interests might bring about enough defections among the Democrats in the senate to defeat the measure there. They have urged thai schedule by schedule plan enough votes can he enlisted on thb schedule, wherein there are Demo? cratic losses to pass them without difliculty though nol as quickly. While Representative Underwood has been underst.I of late to favor the single tariff hill idea, it is known that other Democratic leaders in the house and members of the ways and means committee hold the opposite view and have hoped to converl Mr. Mnderwood to their way of thinking, The president discuss,.,! the tariff today with Senators (love of Okla? homa and Hughes of New York, both uf whom favor the schedule by sched? ule pro<-?-ss. Senator Oore also talked with the president about his failure to secun men of ability with sufficient moans to enable them to accept diplomatic positions. The senator suggested that perhaps congress might be able lo appropriate money to build embassies ind legations and lake away the chic expense with which the country i burdened. The president displayed much interest in n possible solution if the question. Beatdea the official announcement i hat Charles W. Rllot, realdent cmeritus of Harvard, had declined th< ambassadorship to Great Britain there was no definite word at th< \Vhit?- House as to probable diplo? matic appointments. The only recess ippolntment thus far was that ol lohn Ii.

Mr. Cnderw.I was naked whethet he president favored a schedule b) schedule arrangement or o slnglt arid' bill. "All i ? an say, ' ho replied with a smile, 'is that tin r ar. no material differences betwi n u?." Mr. Underwood said he h-i.l taken up "the general scope of legislation." ncluding income tax and reveniu measures but was not ready to make my announcements. He expressed his own satisfaction with the I ill as Iruwn by the ways land means com mittee, declaring that while there were some things which he, like all individual congressmen, might hi - '<? liave changed, he nevertheless o h that he could cheerfully support ?h tvhole bill.
