THE TARIFF BILL.


General Debate Limited 20 -Four, Days
River and Harbor Men Energetic.
WASHINGTON, May 6.-,-lmmediatoly
after the ad djournment OF the House yes
terday afternoon the Republican mem
bers held conference 10 endeavor to
ascertain the feeling respecting the
proper time to be allowed for debate in
tho iivuso upon the Tariff bill and reach
an understanding that might be adopted
as the policy Of the party.
The River and Harbor bill managers
made strenuous effort to have that APP
preparation bill made special order for
consideration to conclusion before
the Tariff bill should be taken
up, and Representative Henderson,
chairman Of the Committee on
Rivers and llarbors, by direction Of
that committee mado a statement Of the
reasons why this should be done. lie
pointed out the danger Of the failure OF
the bill through delayed consideration
and offered resolution setting apart
Wednesday and Thursday for action
upon the bill. A majority OF the mem-
bers could MT be made to take this view
OF the matter, for it was decided by a
vote Of 90 TO 10 that the Tariff bill was
the matter of prime Importance and
should be called up Wednesday.
Then arose the question Of the time to
be allowed for its consideration. The
record OF the proceedings Of the last
Congress was quoted to show that the
general debate and consideration of the
Mills Tariff bill had run along for nearly
three months, with interruptions on ac-
count OF the necessary consideration Of
general appropriation bills. Finally IL
was agreed that the general debate
should go on for four days Wednesday,
Thursday, Friday and Saturday Of
this week-with night sessions and
speeches. Eight days additional will
then be allowed for the consideration
Of the bin by paragraphs under the five
minute rule. Mayer the previous ques-
tion on tho final passage OF the bill is to
be considered as ordered by the terms Of
a special rule to be adopted.
Mr.. Burroughs tried without success
TO have the five minute debate go on for
few days without fixed date for its
conclusion, holding that the presiding
officer could, under the rules keep the
debate within reasonable length,
When this subject had been disposed
Of the River and Harbor men made an
other effort, this time seeking 10 have
adopted a special rule providing for the
consideration OF their bill Immediately
after final action upon the Tariff bill,
but again they were defeated There
was some talk about the remaining bus-
ness before Congress and it became eyi-
dent thst the general feeling was that a
final adjournment could be reached
about the middle OF July.
The members OF the Committee on
Rivers and Harhors feel somewhat in
dignant over the manner in which their
bill has been sidetrackod. They APP
preeiate the fact that unless early action
is taken upon that measure it may fail
by reason OF lack Of time for due con-
sideration by the Senate. Yielding to
the inevitable, however, they are de-
termined to press its consideration as
soon as the Tariff bill is out OF the way,
and viii antagonize all other legislation
until the River and Harbor bill is dis
posed Of.

The Oklahoma Bi'I.

WASHINGTON, May 5.-The conference
report on the Oklahoma Townsite bill
caused lively breeze in the House
Saturday afternoon. Immediately upon
the reading of the report twas attacked
by Mr.. TarsneY, who alleged that the
conferees had gone back on the clause
which the House had expressly
inserted, invalidating the claims to
town lots held by the United
States marshals who were in Oklahoma
before the regular settlers. The con-
ferees struck out this clause, inserting
negative provision which neither
validated nor squelched these claims.
Mr.. Tarsney, Mr. Buchanan, Mr.. Gull
hertson and others attacked this feature
and made Il SO warm for the report that
the managers saw IL was in danger of
being defeated, and thoy allowed further
consideration to go over until to-day.
