WASHINGTON. May 23.-There is considerable
opposition in the senate to the house tariff bill
and it IS evident even now that in its present
shape the bill can never become a law.
Said prominent Republican senatorjto-day
70 your reporter: ''When the senate gets
through with the Mckinley bill its own father
won't be able to recognize it. tariff bill will
pass both hcuses of congress at the present
session and will become a law before we ad-
journ, but the senate will have quite as
much to say about its composition
as the house, Those who expect the
Mckinley bill or anything like it to pass the
senate are doomed to bitter disappointment.
The Republican senator's almost to man op-
are equally hostile to sugar
bounty. This feature is in itself stumbling
block that cannot be removed. There are num-
erous other Objectionable features of less i'm
portAnce. The Mckinley bill, indeed, has never
been, more, aPtly characterized than by a
member of the house who voted for the measure
and who said this morning: There
IS not clause in the bill that
s&tisned that could the separate sections of the
bill have been taken up and voted upon, every

LOWER CALIFORNIA ANNEXATION.
1t is well understood here by Californians that
the flibustering schemes against the Mexican
peninsula have their origin in the polit-
ical ambitions Of few men in
who desire 20 divide that state and thus care for
the southern half. capitol with all its public
buildings, two extra senators and au, extra leg
islature, a governor and state officers and
a large number of new places would in this way
be made for hungry politicians and liberal ex-
penditures for public buildings. 1t is not be-
lieved here that the Mexican colonization com
pany as asserted in the California dispatches
aided or countensnced the flibusters. That
company has several million dollars invested in
WOulQ all
concessions if the Mexican government should
find that it had countenanced the flibustering
schemes.
