Senate Tariff Bill.
 WAsHINGToN, Aug. l3.-It is not improb- able that the Senate for the first time in many years will indulge in a deadlock this week. Notice has been given that the fish, cries treaty will be pushed to final vote within three or four days and the Demo cratic Senators talk ot refraining from voting upon Mir Morgan's motion to post pone further consideration until December which motion must be voted upon before another move can be taken-and it will re- quire full attendance Of the Republican Senators to defeat the proposition. Should the Democrats persist in demanding a quorum final veto may be diverted until next week. The conference report on the Naval Appropriation Bill is reported as expected to-day, and this may precipitate considerable debate. The Senate demands that the heayy-armored cruiser to cost $2, 5OO, ,0O0, inclusive Of armament, which was put in the bill by the House, shall be stricken out, and three light cruisers sub stituted at cost of $7oo, QUO each, inclusive of armament. The Senate, 1t is reported, will stand firm in its position and demand tho three light ships In place of tho one heavy gunboat, and there may be other conferences ordered. The Senate does not expect the Deficiency Appropriation bill to come over from the House till the end of the week.
 There arc pending before the House three appropriation bills, only oue of which has not received preliminary action. The General Deficiency bill is almost com pleted, and the naval and army bills are ln conference and will come up durng the week some time. If the House agrees to the Senate amendment to the army bill the Notifications Appropriation bill which is HnnSe calendar taken up.
 Chairman Townsend of the House Com mitte on Military Affairs has called a ID eeting of the House conferees on tue Army bill for to-day, and says it IS proba- ble that the conference will agree to the Senate amendments (Hswley's heavy ord nance) to the Army bill with some further amendments, and that the House will set tie the debate between the Committees on Military affairs and Appropriations as to which shall have Jurisdiction over the for t. tncations appropriation bill.
 To-day Is District Columbia day in the House, but as there are no measures of pressing importance for the District Com mittee to put upon their passage the Gen. eral Deficiency bill will be taken up. There remains but little of the allotted time to debate the French spoliation claims in this measure, and the bill can bs passed within few hours unless point of no quorum should be raised when a vote is called for on the French spoliatious. If a point of no quorum is raised deadlock may ensue Tuesday has been been made spec ial order for the Senate bill restricting Chinese immigration, and there is no dis position to delay consideration of that measure, as the House seems to be almost t unanimously in favor of It. If the House progresses well with It's work an effort will be made to adjourn from Friday until Monday. There appears to be disposition on the part of the House to take things easy and wait the Senate Tariff bill.
 Chairman Allison of the Sub Committee of the Senate Committee on Finance pre- | pairing the tariff bA1 says the hearings which are being given to various indus tries have not yetsclosed, and that there Is no proba bility of the bill going to the | Senate this week It will create no sur. prise in the Senate among those who are best posted on the subject if the tariff bill does not come up fer debate before the first of Septem Dor, and most of the old Senators arc predicting that adjournment | will not be had until some time in October
