STIRRED UP BY THE TARIFF.
New Schedules Not Apt to Go Into
Effect For a Year.

Effect For a Year.
WASHINGTON, May "A large number
of inquiries have been received by the re-
publican members of the ways and means
committee respecting the date of the proba.
BILE passage of the tariff bill. Thedate fixed
in the bill for the beginning of its opera
tions is July 1 next, and from the state
ments contained in these communications
it appears that the business of the country
Is In very unsettled con-
dition in anticipation of the un-
looked-for changes in the tariff 1t is
stated that the sugar trade in
particular is depressed and disturbed. To
these inquiries reply is being made that the
Senate cannot possibly pass the bill finally
before July /, which fact in itself would
necessitate change in the date fixed in the
bill; and the probabilities are that the
change to be made will provide that the
bill shall not take effect before the begin
ming of the next calendar year, and possibly
not until July /, 1891.
TRYING TO AGREE.
The committee was in session this morn
ing trying to reach an understanding ue-
specting the time to be allowed for the con-
sideration of the bill in the House. The
democrats wanted three weeks at least, two
of them to be devoted to general debate,
while the republicans desired to limit the
general debate to one week and the de-
tailed consideration of the bill to another
week. No agreement has yet been reached,
and it may vet remain for the committee
on rules to arrange the programme.
