UNLIMITED TIME FOR DEBATE.
Action of tho Democratic Caucus ol
 Discussion of the Tariff.

Action of tho Democratic Caucus on
 Discussion of the Tariff.
 WASHINGTON, April M.-The caucus of the Democratic members of the house last night, called to consider the limit of time which should be given to general debate on the tariff bill, brought together about 12O members Speaker Carlisle and MT. Randall were not present. Representative Cox, of New York, chairman of the caucus committee, was pres ent and presided. MT. Mills report from the ways and means committee that the Repub- licans desired ten day sessions of five hours each, for general debate, was not favorably received and led to considerable discussion. No decided sentiment in favor of definitely limiting debate on the bill was shown; in fact, proposition advanced by Mr. Town shend to limit the debate to five days on each side met with such slight support that it was at once dropped. Finally, upon motion of Mir. Holman, the following resolution was adopted unanimously:
 Resolved, that it is the opinion of this caucus that discussion of the tariff bill shall be resumed to-day and continued to a conclusion to the ex- clusion of other business, except that night ses- sions be held, and if not required for debate on the tariff be employed in current legislation, the direction heretofore given, touching an amicable arrangement as to time of debate on the tariff bill, to continue in force.
 The caucus then, at 9:45 p. m., adjourned.
