The Tariff Debate,

WASHINGTON, March IA MT. McMil- lin asked unanimous consent in the House yesterday that private bill day be dispensed with in view of the tariff dis cussion and the two hours tomorrow previous to the eulogies at o'clock on J. R. Gamble of Dakota, be devoted to the consideration of private bills.
 The expectation of the Ways and Means committee is to have the Free Wool bill voted on in the House March 21. Thus far the little blank book in which the names of members who sig nifty to the Speaker their intention to speak on any set topic are inscribed shows a list of thirty-six members of the House who have remarks to make on the tariff question.
 The House went into committee of the whole on the free wool bill. MT. Stevens (Dem.) of Massachusetts spoke from the standpoint of the manufac- turer. Reduced taxes and lower prices, he said, always meant increased con sumption. Free wool meant lower prices, better goods-the one was the
 
 can people would have reason to com plain if the conditions did not ensue. While American manufacturers main tained their high standard of enter prise and workmanship there was nothing to be feared from foreign competition. Quoting from leading manufactul CTS of the country he showed that the free wool bill was sat isfactory to them. The bill proposed was an immense boon to manufacturers and was one of universal benefit. The bill represented as wise a distribu tion of duties az could be made. If the bill was passed it would result in infinite good to the people.
 Mir. Montgomery (Dem.) of Kentucky followed with long argument in sup port of the bill.
 He was followed by Mir Brookshire of Indiana, who said that Mir. Blaine so-called reciprocity scheme and the eminent fallacies by which the protec- tive system was sought to be main. tained. He made summary of the agricultural exports of this country for the purpose of suggesting to our farmers to what countries those ex. ports were destined. It was not the agricultural products that the people of South America wanted. In the main they wanted manufactured goods. After a short speech by Mir. Coombs of New York in favor of free wool the committee rose and the House took a recess until o'clock, the evening ses- sion to be for the consideration oi private pension bills.

Eran May Be Tran sferred.

WASHINGTON, March 1s. - Minister Eagan, according to report, is to be transferred from Chile to Brazil. Posi- tive corroboration from Acting Secre- tary Wharton could not be obtained this worning. but that gentleman re- fused to deny the report, something he is invariably willing to do when re- port is groundless. It is well known that Minister Congor is heartily tired of his position in Brazil. He has long wanted to resign, but the want of a secretary and later the inexperience of a new one has made 1t inadvisable to leave that post unrepresented.

 Bill Before It.

Bill Before 1t.
 DEs MONIES, Iowa, March 15.-Next Tuesday the special order in the Senate will be the consideration of the Brewer bill for the erection of soldiers mon- ument. The bill does not provide for the appropriation of any specified sum. but sets apart from the direct war tax refund the remainder after the indebt- edness of the State to the school fund shall have been paid. The amount will be about Sl35,000. The bill also provides that other sums may here after be appropriated by the Legisla- ture for this purpose.
 There has been some talk of an ar engagement with the Democrats by which in consideration of the Repub- licans in the House giving the Catch bill enough votes to pass it the Demo crats in the Senate would help resub- mission resolution through that body. However, neither party will take any official action looking to such . com promise, and the caucus lines have been drawn so tight that no one on either side will dare, in all probability, to enter into such an agreement.

SILVER SENTIMENT IN THE SENATE.
A Modified Free-CoinaEe Bill Will Prob ably Pass That Body.

WASHINGTON, March 15.-Canvasses of the Seuate are again being made to determine the fate of free-coinagc bill when it reaches that body. The chances are now, as they have been all along, that the measure will pass by majority of between and l2. This is the opinion of Senators Aldrich, Ali son and other opponents of ire s-coinage. Yet there are some contrary signs, and the Republican leaders will make a tremendous effort to keep the bill from passing by persuading the Western Senators who are not too strongly com mitted to free coinage to adopt mid dle course.
 There is no longer any question that the free coinage bill will pass the House.
 The only point at issde with respect to it is as to what the majority will be in that body

The arr bitration treaty will hardly ie taken up in the Senate again until the foreign relations com init reports, and that committee is awaiting Salisbury's answer to the declaration of March that this coun- try would insist on a renewal of the modus vivendi. The news received from London is that the Premier was only bluffing, but that he wants to giv. the poaehers more time to get into the sealing grounds before the bluffing is stopped. English sentiment one way or another will not affect the attitude of the administration. It will enforce the protection of the seal with or with. ont Great Britain's cooperation.
