lo9 pU9 Ind Sneaker Reed proposed It, If for no
otI 0tbsr The large majority of them would
Idly odiourn on Sept. l provided the
eear;ff riIl had become law, leaving the
a.t ~ the Harrison-Reed programme
bonoing in the air. If they could only get
tba demOcratic managers TO agree to help
them hurry up the tariff DILL they say would
Wind the session up in three weeks. Inelr
representatives we're over on the oelno-
cratic side Of the Senate frequently tIls
afternoon sounding the democrats as TO the
rrosnects of making some arrangement
which would enable them to do this.
THE DEMOCRATS SUSPICIOUS.
Tbedemocratic managers refused to make
env verbal contracts whatever, and refused
IN make any agreement which would cur
tsil nroDer and reasonable consideration of
tba tariff bill. which they said had received
no snch consideration in the House. The
democrats are not taking any risks with
The republicans. They know that, much as
tbe majority of the Senate republicans
want to 20 away, they might be brought to
stav here long enough to pass rec bill,
if not a reapporuonment bill, il the tariff
bill were out of the way.
MUST HAVE A BINDING CONTRACT.
They think, therefore, that unless the
republican managers will give them bind
ing contract not to bring up the force bill or
areapportonment bill they must just fight
it out on the line they have been following.
Thev know that the republicans, having
the majority, can do anything they want to
do, and they do not propose to help them do
wrong The republicans may give the
democrats a promise that will hold water
or they may 20 on with the Harrison-Reed
programme So far they have not
agreed upon any change of
the rules, nor even to the
Edmurds Limitation of debate on the tariff
ill, which was a. much surprise to the
republicans as to the democrats, and which
some of the republicans condemn as being
an Intellectual half step designed to stop
party criticism Of Senator Eimunds and
keep his party record straight. Other re-
pubhcaus chiefly western men, say it is
simply intended to occupy time to delay the
river and harbor bill.
QUAY BRINGS IN A RESOLUTION.
In his own quiet way Senator Quay pre-
sented TO the Senate this afternoon the key
which would set it free in a resolution post
poning the force till till next session. In
DONG this Senator Quay acted for himself
ana Tor those senator's who, like himself.
thnk 1t folly to try TO pass the force bill.
lie does not speak for the managers on the
republican side. He is not their leader. as
senator Gorman is leader of the democrats,
nor does he speak for the caucus. for he is
not an officer of the caucus
anu mas not as matter
Of TACT attended its meetings. He speaks
Ior the Informal caucus which met in his
library last week. 1t was there that his
resolution was formulated.
"HAi Il SAYS OF 1T.
senator Quay says of it: 1.-THE country
Nauts Tie tariff bill passed and the other
necessary public measures. but there is no
such demand for the passage Of the federal
eIection law. and as a matter of fact.
