That Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON. August ID Special 1T has
been rumored around the capitol today that
there would be no tariff bill after all, as Mr..
Blaine was anxious TO have the issues of the
campaign made distinct between what he calls
free trade and protection. IL has also been
said that Senator Hale, of Maine, had CON
enlted with Mr.. Blaine, and that tho latter
had advised apast il.
When called upon Senator Allison chair
man of tho sub-finance committee, which il
preparing tho bill, doned emphatcally that
there was any truth in the report. He pro-
nounced il made out Of whole cloth, and said
the committee was determined to finish the
bill and report II to the senate. When asked
II the bill would then pass, Senator Allison
politely retired to the inner chamber of the
committee room without expressing an opin-
ion
On the other hand there are MANY who he
ueve the rumor that no bill will he reported
They say the republicans of the committee
WILL keep mp n tent of preparing II measure
until month more passes 1t is claimed tho
scheme Is 10 give hearing to every ono who
will appear and thus protract the hearings
until there is q reasonable excuse to adjourn
without action.
