Special to the lndisnapoiis journal
WASHINGTON, July PA Republican mem
Der of the House, who had long talk with
Senator Allison, chairman Of the subcommittee
of the finance committee having charge OF the
tariff bill. says that he does not think Mr.. Aili-
son has any idea that the Senate will do any
thing with the Mills bill at this session. The
reason for this belief is given in the following
account Of q conversation between the two gen.
tlemen: Senator Allison was asked: 'How are
you getting along with the preparation Of the
Senate substituter'
To this the Senator replied: 'It will be sew
eral weeks before we shall be ready to report to
the full committee
"Will it then be reported at once to the
Senatel"
'Oh. no; that will be but the beginning OF the
preliminary discussion No two members Of
the full committee entertain exactly the same
views on the subject
SLOW long will it take the full committee to
prepare billl'
"That is very difficult question to answer
'Will it be ready by tho first OF Septemberl"
Hardly"
"Will the Senate get 1t by the middle of
Septsmberl"
~ don't think so."
"How long will the discussion last when 1t
comes mp in the Senate7"
II guess every Senator will want to be heard
in the discussion"
'Then there is not much prospect Of an ad-
journment by the middle of Septsmberp
"Would you think sol" Was the Yankee reply.
"Do you think that the Senate will try to pass
bill before sdjournmeutT"
"Some OF The Senators want to try to 90 so."
Since the vote on the tariff bill, yesterday.
there are various explanations given by the
members Of the Republican caucus committee
of the failure Of the minority to offer the pro-
posed substitute. The meeting in MAJOR McKin-
ley's room on Friday night lasted until mid
night, and when it finally broke up it was fully
determined to move to recommit the bill, with
instructions to report substitute which should
abolish tho internal taxes upon alcohol used in
the arts. on smoking and chewing tobacco. and
the special stamp tar on dealers; also q reduc.
sion OF 80 per cent. on the sugar duty. From
the best information obtainable this motion was
not made because. at the last moment, some of
the leading Republican Senators advised against
this course. on account of the condition of the
preliminary movements in the Senate toward the
perfection Of q bill which is to be the Repub-

Mr. Morley Indicates the Attitude the Liberal
Party Will Occupy.
LONDON, July 22-Mr. John Morley, in his
spesch at Morpeth, last evening. gave distinct
forecast OF the position which the Liberals will
occupy with regard to the Parnell bill Con-
csrning the appointment Of commission to in
vsstigate the Timess charges aeEiast the Irish
leader. Mr.. Morley said that II commission
were needed at ALL 1t was the business Of that
body to decide whether Mr.. Parnsll wrote GER
tain letters and whether he and other members
Of the House OF Commons were privy to the
murder of Lord CKvendish and Mr.. Burke.
This should constitute the entire work Of the
commission. Il was not necessary nor
WAS it any part OF the commissions busi-
ness. to ascertain whsther or not some rufians
had hung upon the outskirts of the National
League and that violence had been committed
by indivi idual members Of that organization. 1t
was q mistake to imagine that the commission
was appointed with view of procuring evidence
against Mr.. PArnell or any one else. 1t was
simply charged with the duty of establishing she
truth or fslsi,y of certain accusations already
made, and, this duty performed, the functions
of the commission ended Dir. Morley stated
that he had taken pains 70 consult the highest
authorities, and was positive the bill would be
passed In its present shape.
