Some TIME during the day Senator Plumb
Will ask that the pending business be laid

committee order of business is followed.
the Des Molnes river land bill and the open

The Appropriation and Tariff Bills.
WASHINGTON, May 23d-The work Of
passing the appropriation bills will be con-
tinued in the House and the Senate this
week where ii does not interfere with
prior special orders. There is no talk of
| opposing the appropriation bills with the
tariff, and Mr.. Morrison, who originally
named the 18th of this month as the time
for beginning the tariff discussion, is dumb
| as a clam regarding the future of his bill.
Those in his confidence say that if the
appropriation bills are passed before the
! tariff is taken up, no power can keep Con-
gress together to debate it. and if Mr..
| Hewitt secures the passage of his admins
| tration reform bill. he viii be unconmonly
| fortunate. The members are becoming
anxious about their districts, and as nine
| tenths of them are working for renomina-
| ton, their presence at home as early as
possible is desirable. Mr.. Randall says
| that he can see no reason why Congress
| should not adjourn by the ith of July and
in making that statement he of course
means that no tariff bill will intervene to
| prevent the immediate passage of the ap-
preparation bills.
Speaker Carlisle was seen by your CORE
| spondent tonight, and asked his opinion
as to when Congress would adjourn. " |
| have fixed the date all along" said the
| Speaker, as the lst of July, because | have
| been anxious that the work should be hur-
ried up: but say now that we ought Ger
| tainly 10 get away between the lst and 18th
OF July. Two years ago We adjourned on
the 9TH of July, and though that was rem
| dered necessary by the assembling of the
| Democratic Convention, there seems to be
no reason why we could not adjourn at as
early date now
Do you mean" asked the correspond
ent, = that you can adjourn by that time if
you take UP the tariff bill ?"
| "Oh! yes" was the reply; you see
| that there are only five appropriation bills
yet to pass. All the appropriation bills
that were taken away from the Committee
on Appropriations have passed except one,
and that is the naval appropriation bill.
This bill was one requiring great care and
study, and has necessarily been delayed :;
but the legislative. executive and judicial
| bill will probably be taken up tomorrow,
the sundry civil few days later, and
| then there are only the Notifications bill
| and the general deficiency bill. These an
preparation bills can all te passed in about
| two weeks, and then we can take up the
| tariff"
DO you think the tariff bill will pass ?''
think it ought to pass, not only in the
| fulfillment of the pledges the Democratic
party made 10 the country in regard to
tariff reform, but also because | believe it
is right. Whether it will pass the House
| am not prepared to definitely predict
! There will be good deal of opposition TO
! ii in the party. The Pennsylvania delega-
| ton, however, will not be as solidly against
| it as it was against the last tariff bill. The
| Ohio delegation will all oppose it, with
possibly one exception. There will prob
| ably he three from Louisiana and three
| from New Jersey who will oppose it, and
the one Democrat from California will vote
against it. The result. | think, will
| depend upon New York, and what
the action of the members from
that STATE will be, cannot
say. | have made no canvass OF the House
in this matter, and am speaking now from
my impressions. The vote will be very
close anyway. If the bill is defeated, it
will he by a very few votes, and if it passes
il Will be by very few"
How about the New England mem
berS?n
That cannot say, but do know that
there has been great change in sentiment
upon the subject of the tariff in New Eng
land within the past three years. | am
constantly in receipt of letters from manu-
faclurers il Connecticut Massachusetts and
New Hampshire upon the subject of free
trade. and / believe that the time will come
when the manufacturing districts of New
England will be the most active advocates
of free trade. | am not frce-trader, mind
you continued Mr.. Carlisle Il am q
revenue reformer, and believe in an equit-
able adjustment of the tariff; but under
the present system we not only protect
foreign articles from coming into our own
market, but practically protect England in
a monopoly of the. markets Of the world
in which we ought TO enter into compe-
tition."
Startling Developments in Chicago.
CHIcAGo May 23d.-A morning paper
published to-day what purports 70 be the
testimony of Captain Setback yesterday
before the Grand Jury i'll relation to the
lnStlgatOrS OF the recent Haymarket
slaughter. This testimony as printed is
sensational in the extreme, but not incred-
ible, and it is anticipated that the develop
| ments Of the next few days will prove the
truth of much of it. Captain Setback is
said to have told the jury the following
| facts resulting from the investigation of the
police department: He had witnesses to
prove that prisoner Iingg had manufact-
| ured number of dynamite bombs from
| material obtained at the office of the -4r-
better Zeit,ng. These persons We're associa-
ted with Lingg, one of whom was under
| arrest. The second section of the Captains S
testimony was listened to with breathless
silence. | think" said Setback, q that
| have got to the bottom of this business.
In a couple of days l will have it all, but
| want a little more time. Then | can prove
beyond doubt that this Anarchist con-
| spiracy has existed here for years. There
are two divisions of it. One is an agitating
section, and money is set apart for its ex-
plosives. This is called the Socialist sec
ton. Besides this, there is an armed party,
an Anarchist section. These dril, and are
