The Tariff bill coming up as unfinished
business Mr.. Chandler moved to Law il
on the table for the purpose Of consider
ing bills reported from the Committee on
Commerce, with The understanding that
the tariff bill should be taken up again at
one o'clock 10 morrow
Mr. Sherman said that as this dav had
been assigned for the consideration of
bills from the Committee on Commerce,
he would not oppose the motion Besides,
he was somewhat at a loss to know what
70 do about thu tariff bill. There seemed
10 be some uncertainty throughout the
country as to the effect of the vote on
Friday to make tea and coffee free, and if
the Senate bad deliberately made up its
mlnI 20 re3eai the duty on tea and coffee,
the hcst course would be to pass House
blIl FIR that purpose. If that were done,
then perhaps 1t might be advisable to
postpone further action on the tariff until
Che House bill should be received.
Mr.. Scott said it was important that the
tea and coffee question should be settled
At once, and asked Mr. Chandler to con-
scnt TO lay aside the bills Of his committee

amend The uouse bill by fixing tim G
when it should go into operation, and
