Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON April Is -Chsirmsn Mills
WAS at the capitol short time to-day,
but WAS not feeling well and did not at
tempt to do sly business. Heis still
weak and is uncertain whether he will
make long speech on the tariff when he
calls the bill up to morrow II he feels
no better tomorrow he will only mske
yetY brief speech.
Judge Kelly, from Pannay!vsuis, will
open the opposition TO the measure. No
definite plNn has been decided on AS to
the method Of procedure, but the belief
is general that no zig I sessions will be
necessary. Both parties have been fig
urirg upon the attitude q the House,
Nut It Is agreed no CANVASS can show with
absolute certainty st this time how the
mAj DIRTY will be sitter free discussion of
the measure. At present the situstion
seems fAv0rabie TO the NILS Sill, ard the
tariff reiormers feel conf tent inst they
will be able to psss it without serious
amendment.
