REPORT Is LIKELY TO 90 THROUGH THE SEN
ATE MONDAY. MAKING An ADJOURNMENT PROB
ABLE ON WEDNESDAY.
At the opening Of the session this morning
The indications were that the tariff conferees
report would be finally disposed of by the
House before adjournment. 1t is said that the
republicans who are not satisfied with the re-
port will have some explanations to make for
the benefit Of their constituents. but that they
will yield gracefully to the will OF the ma
jority.
The democrats think that the report should
be discussed in the House for at least two days.
but the anxiety to get away is expected to be
more potent in settling this question than the
desire to let off tariff fireworks.
Tho first thing this morning Mr.. NcMillin
withdrew his demand for the reading of the re-
port.
Mr.. Mckinley gave notice Of the previous
question at $50 O'Clock this evening. When
this question was under discussion Mr.. OAR
nell of Minnesota showed disposition TO
kick" little, and protested that more time
should be had.
The Senate will probably adopt the report
on Monday. 1t is understood that most of the
Senators who said they would vote against the
bill if n duty were put ON binding Irvine have
been induced to yield, but a few Of them are
memorable.
Eight the bill whether any one else does or not
The general impression. however. is that the
republican opposition will not be strong
enough 10 endanger the report.
The probabilities are. therefore. that the
tariff bill will be u law before Tuesday night.
and that an adjournment will occur not later
than Wednesday. and perhaps az early as Tues
diy, the day named in Mr.. McKinley's resolu-
ton.
There is general feeling of relief in Con-

WHAT Is SAID OF THE 1ARne BILL
1T is a great work." said Mr.. Cooper of
Ohio. 1T is one of several good pieces Of
work this session has done. There are some
features in the bill do not like, but as a whole
tits Il good bill
\ STAR reporter asked Mr.. Funston. the
chairman of the committee on agriculture
finished Fair. 1t is fair; there are
some features l do not like. There are
are some things in it that might
have been made better and there arc many
which might have been worse; but taking n
broader view. 1t is a good bill and one L am
willing to go before the country on"
Mr.. Boutelle said: 1T is remarkably good
bill and will be of benefit to the whole country.
When you consider the state of public sentiment
and the confusion that surrounds the subject
IN the minds of many IL Is remarkable thing
that so good a bill should come from it. and it
shows with what ability the ject was treated.
The two striking features OF the bill are that it
fully recognizes the principle of protection
and at the same time works great benefit to
the farmers. | think il is the best measure for
tie farmer that was ever considered or ever
devised"
Mr.. Farquhar, when asked il the bill was
satisfactory. said: mo tariff bill can be. Any
revision of the tariff interferes with business,
and the only way to handle the subject
principle. 1t is largely matter of
selfshness and division of tho spois
rs long as there is no general princinle. The
true theory of protection is to equalize the diff
ference between the cost OF labor and raw
material here and that abroad. and it should
