Special Dispatch TO The Appeal
WASHINGTON, Dec. lS.-The Rcpub-
lican Senators held caucus this morning
for the purpose Of doyising plan with
which to meet the new tactics adopted by
their Democratic colleagues with relation
to the tariff bill. The result of their cogi-
tatons was in effect .ginform The Demo.
Gratis that no Christmas recess would be
taken by the Senate unless they tho
Democrats) would guarantee that they
would cease their present policy Of fight
ing the bill. To have to give up their
customary Christmas holiday is no doubt
the dreadful alternative, but with heroic
fortitudc the Democrats have determined
TO persist in their efforts TO amend the bill
which they believe 10 be so detrimental to
the best interests Of the country. Never
theless, they do not like the prospects Of
having to work while all the rest Of tho
world, including the House Of Representa-
tives, is having good time. They
had been counting on being able TO care
fully study over the tariff bill during the
holidays, preparatory 10 organizing sys-
tematic attack which, 80 lar, they claim
they have not been able TO do. Then they
are aware also that most OF the Rcpub.
lican Senators will take holiday anyhow,
aud that the work Of pushing the bill 20
its passage will be left in the hands Of a
faithful few. The Republican leaders
are determined 10 press the bill TO n
passage ~ rapidly as possible, and TO get IL
over TO the House, II they can, in time TO
fix upon by the Ways and Means Com
mittee the responsibility for failure Of the
House 10 take Il up. Had the Democratic
Senators continued In the opposition OF
lazy indifference they ut inst adopted, this
would have been accomplished. But now
they arc determined that the bill shall not

gested state. The Senate Is prob.
ally n little moro than fourth
Of tho way through the bill, but
practically all this progress was made be-
fore the Democrats adopted their energetic
policy Of attacking IL. Before they took
np-this policy about thirty-threo or thirty
four pages were gone over very rapidly.
since then not moro -.inn seven or eight
pages have been passed, aud progress ap.
pears 10 be getting slower as they advance.
This Il is that hnsicncd the Republicans To
the extraordinary efforts they are making.
They will have 10 work night apd day
during the holiday week, and work all IN
harmony, 10 get through the bill. The
matter of a rush was left undecided. aud
there is some talk tonight Of possible
compromise being effected.
