CHATTANOOGA, Tenn, Oct. THE
campaign which Hon. Greed +. Bates is

his friends. During the present week
Col. Bates has been addressing immense
crowds in White and Warren counties and
the news from that portion Of the district
Is 10 the effect that the Democracy has
never been so thoroughly organized rs
they are this year. Col. Bates has been
given a series Of oyations wherever lac has
spoken west OF the mountains. The
Democrats in White county say that they
will give Bates at least 1900 majority,
while his majority in Warren will probab-
~ reach 1000. Van Buren, county Demo-
Gratis promise TO increase the Democratic
majority. In the eastern portion OF the
district the outlook Is most encourag-

very close for several wears, will
roll up not less than 80 majority for

THE WEEK IN CONGRESS-.
What the Senate VIII DO with the
Tariff RilI

WASHINGTON, Oct. I'm the Senate
tomorrow the tariff will be taken up and
Senator Allison will make a speech in sup
port of the Senate substitutes. The bill
will be temporarily laid aside whenever
the conferees on the general deficiency bill
reach an agreement. With this excep-
ton II is expected to command the atten-
ton of the Senate until disposed Of The
assertion is made by some Republican
senators that the bill will be passed within
three weeks and Democrats express the
hope that such may be the case. The
opinion, however, is pretty widely enter
tanned on both sides that before the expir-
alton OF three weeks the Senate will find
itself voting without q quorum and will as
sent to recess, If in the meantime the
House does not send over n resolution TO
adjourn. The proposition TO take recess
and reconvene after election would prob
ably meet with considerable favor,
even as against one for adjournment,
since the two or three weeks practically
added TO the beginning of the next ses-
sion could be made 10 advance the next
years work materially. In spite OF prom
Uses and resolutions to the contrary, moth
ing is expected OF Congress under ordinary
circumstances until after the holiday re-
cess; but with the period before recess
practically doubled, and especially il the
annual estimates are made ready, there is
little doubt that the committee work on
several Of the appropriation bills would be
greatly advanced.
In the House of Representatives a final
conference report upon the general de-
iiciency appropriation bill will be present
cd for action early in the week. After il
is disposed Of, nothing of interest IL likely
TO occur, unless some influential members
shall spring upon the House an adjourn
ment resolution. In the absence OF a
quorum the immediate success OF such a
movement will depend upon the possible
ity Of avoiding single objection.
