(From New York Herald.)
WAsHINGToN, D. c., May 2S-There is
row in the Senate Finance Committee
and it is quite possible that in conse-
quence there will be no tariff bill passed
at this session.
The proposition was that the McKin-
ley bill should be referred to a sub-com-
mittee, which, as it was to consist of
Senators Allison, Aldrich and Hisccck,
would have made short work OF Mr.. Nc
Kinley and brought forward very soon
substitute bill Of their own.
To the surprise Of the committee to-
day Senator Sherman proposed that the
Mckinley bill should be considered by
the whole committee and not by sub
committee. To the still greater surprise
of the three Senators when this question
came to a vote Senator Morrill, stood
with Senator Sherman, and as the Demo-
Gratis wanted nothing better they ana
the two Republicans carried Mr.. Sher-
mans motion.
Thereupon Mr.. Aldrich arose in wrath
and declared that il this course was to
be pursued there would be no tariff bill
at all passed by this Congress; that the
work before full committee, giving
hearings to those who might want to be
| heard, ard under Mr. Plumb's resolution
having to II :'ort reasons for every change
made in the present law, would be in
terminable; that it would not be posi-
| BILE to report g bill before August, and
that in fact the motion of Mr.. Sherman
substantially kills the tariff for this ses-
sion.
McKinley's Bill to be Dissected.
But Messrs. Sherman and Morrill,
stood firm, and so did the Democrats,
and unless there is change of pro
| gramme at the next meeting, what the
Herald foretold four months ago will
prove true-there will be no tariff legis-
lation, outside an administrative bill, at
this session.
The truth seems to be that some CT the
Republican meilber5 Of the Finai &C
Committee want the Mckinley biIl and
others prefer a bill OF their own. The
Democrats, with the help Of Mr. Morril
and Sherman, have saved the Mckinley
bill from the evil fate which was before
it Of slaughter in the committee It vii

Thereafter the bln, When reported tt
the Senate, will be accompanied by rea
sons for every change proposed, and il
tta5 case the Senate and the country q
large will, for the first time ii b quarte
Of q century, be able to get an inteligen
view Of how and why the country's reve
nue. laws are made as they are.
1t is still an open question how th
Mckinley bill will look when it come
} out Of the committee or deal. The au
: thor Of the bill was unable in the Hous
to give reasons for most Of the change
, he proposed from taa present law
Whether he can get Messrs. Sherman an
Morrill, to give such reasons for him re
mains to be seen.
Mr. Allison Beaten.
At any rate, for the present, the AL
son programme IS defeated. In b
view, as given in an authentic integvie,
in the Philadelphia Press last Marcf
'the conditions have changed" II
thought that even his own bill Of th
, previous session was tgO high in the dl
ties it laid. He said
''In many respects the bill Of 1SS
should be followed, bnt il a great man
otlars the conditions have changed sine
that time, so that reductions whic
: were made then would probably not
deemed sufficient reductions for tx
s present moment. A coed many thin:

It may be ii..as .s.e,s lat his opinlC
9 is of the Mckinley bill, whose rates a
y all through naucb higher than those
the Allison bill were.
