TIE TINE FOR ADJOURNMENT.
The report having been adopted the
House passed resolution to adjourn on
next Tuesday sine die. 1t is doubtful,
however, whether this date will suit the
Senate, and Wednesday is regarded rs
the more probable day for the final ad-
tournament.
The debate in the House to-day was
far from being OF an interesting charac.
ter. 1t dragged along very slowly with
nothingto break the monotony and with
only about quarter OF the members in
their seats. Mr.. Mckinley's speech at
the close was the only one which seemed
to strike u responsive chord and be was
frequently interrupted BY the applause
OF his Republican colleagues.
The report will be taken up for con.
sideration in the Senate on Monday.
An effort will be made to have it adopt
ed on that day, but as there are a good
many Senators who have given notice
OF their desire to speak, it ID possible
that final action may bs postponed until
Tuesday morning.
The probabilities are, therefore, that
the tariff bill will be law before Tues
day night, and that an adjournment will
occur not later than Wednesday, and
perhaps as early as Tuesday, the day
named in Mr.. Mckinley's resolution.
The general opinion OF members with
regard to tho tariff bill is that it is au ex.
cellent measure when viewed from the
broad standpoint Of the whole country's
| interests. Pretty nearly everyone OF
them would be better pleased if some
little item particularly affecting interests
in their own district waR changed one
way or the other, bnt on tho whole they
consider it good bill.
TAXING THE BILL AS A WHOLE.
ut is Il great work, " said Mr.. Cooper,
OF Ohio. ''lt is one OF several good
pieces OF work this session has done,
Thare are some features in the bill l do
not iike, but rs q whole it is good
BILL"
Mr.. Funston, the Chairman OF the
Committee on Agriculture, said: Fair,
it IL fair! there are some features I do
not like. There gre come things in it
that might hayo been made better, aud
there are many which might have been
worse but, taking broader view, it is
a good bill and ono ! am willing to 50
before the country on"
Mr.. Boutelle said: at Is a remark.
ably good bill, and will be OF benefit to
the whole country. When you consider
the stats OF public sentiment and the
confusion that surrounda the subject in
the minds Of many it is remarkable
thing that so good btil should come
from it, aud it shows with what ability
the subject was treated. The two strik
ing features Of the bill are thatit fully
recognizes tho principle OF protection
and ut tho same time works great benei
to the farmers. think it is tie hev
measure Tor the farmer that was eyel
considered or ever devised"
