THE SENATE SUBSTITUTE.
Washington, July 23.-It is under
stood that the substitute bill OF the
senate finance committee for the
Mills ball, which passed the house
Saturday, will be in readiness to sub
NIT to TIE senate about the middle of
next week. Discussion on this T0eas-
IRE, it Is expected, Will occupy sew.
eral weeks lime. Besides aJolIshing
all tax on tobacco, and GU spirits
used in the arts and maui actures,
upuu grape brandy, and reducing the
duty on sTgar nearly 90 per cent,
the proposed bill viii deal with ey~
cry schedule of the tariff, correcting
errors ihut are conceded to exist, and
1
needed tUr protection, and i,y so in
cTeasing them 10 curtaIi Importatious
and decrease the revenues.
The date OF the final adjournment
OF congress depends now entirely
upon the senate Tue democrats II
he house have cen at work upon
the tariff for f. r months, AID they
can't we'll deny tue .isLt OF the sen~
ate to occupy One-fUurth OF that
time. The time Of adjournment de-
peuds entirely upon the progress
made with the tariff question III the
senate. Other matters Can be easily
disposed Of, the fishery treaty can be
voted upon, OF left TO lie over. The
deba has not attracted any great
amount Of public interest, except in
east. The Republicans favor Its re-
lection, but they would not be likely
TO permit any controversy as 10 its
fate, or to delay the Adjournment
if all other business has been dispos-
ed Of Iu such Il case the treaty
would probably go over until next
season.
