SIX wEEKs' DELAY.
The Senate Finance Committee held q
meeting this morning and decided 20 can
on the Treasury Department TO, furnlsh
tabulated statements showing the pro
DOeH0 fDtDNfs III Iut ItNtnup
Mckinley bill. Senator Vance seems 10
think that it will be from three TO SIX
weeks before the tariff bill will be reported
from the committee.
Senator Bill Chandler is working hard
among the senators TO have the iuies
changed 80 that he can press 20 nnlsh
the election bill, but nothing can be done
in that direction until the tariff and silver
bills are disposed of.
To-day's session Of the House was de-
voted entirely 10 the consideration of Dis
trict of Columbia matters, and IN the SEN
ate most of the days session was consumed
In discussing the naval Appropriation biu.
The Senate is tearing all 10 pieces the
appropriation bills that have been sent
over from the House. The House under
Ross Reeds rules is doing business IN
very slack way, and the people will ma
that Reeds crowd are about the worst lot
of legislators ever in power.
