WAsHIEaToN. d. O., July 9I.-Every

be laid before tDa Sslats, Voorhees, hay

liant speech. IL will not necessarily be
debated every day, but it will be pend

not for the Force bill. Aldrich will have

bill, aided BY Sherman, for Allison, who
was Aldlich'H partner ia the preparation
and passage Of tie Senate bill OF 1888, is
against this one, and is doing sll that he
oan-DY calling attention to the probable
deficit in the treasury and by pushing
the Force blll-to prevent the passage Of
the Tariff bill. OurIously enough, Al
drich's chief reason for pressing the
Tariff bill is his desire to defeat the Force
bill.
Blaine's especial friends, led by Hale
(who hates Reed as much as he loves
Biaine) will do all they can to embarrass
and delay the Tariff bill, Just because
Blaine wants it killed in order that Reed
and Mckinley may not get any reputation
out of 1t. Neither Blaine'u friends nor
MoKinley'a friends in the Senate have
yet adopted tie Harrison substitute, sin
troduced by Pierce" for tue Blaine reo-
procity amendment, tinttodueed by
Hale" and they will probab aquaoble

probably, Blaine will be beaten, and tue
bill bs p s1ed substantially as reported
by the finance committee, wit possibly
the addition of the Harrison amendment,

debate on the bill, involving as 1t does
all the prlaeipal Republican Presiden-
