WARRINGTON. March 1.-Debate on the tariff
question will begin in the House tomorrow.
and this will be the beginning OF the real work
OF the session. Tho present intention OF the
managers OF the House Is to begin tho tariff
discussion by taking up the wool bill first and
to continue 1t until Monday. when the resolu-
ton fixing the date for tho Bland bill
comes up. and then on Tuesday to re-
turn again to the tariff discussion. and
to continue It, with occasional Interrupt
tions by appropriation bills. until March
II. when. that being suspension day.
they will undertake to pass the wool bill under
suspension OF the rules to preclude the posi-
bility OF any ones offering general bill as an
amendment to 1t. Tho silver bill will occupy
three or four days Following that an appro-
priation bill will probably be taken up on the
18th or 9th and about April the tariff dis
cussion will begin again upon the other bills
reported from the Committee on Ways and
Means. the number OF which will be augmented
meanwhile by reports from the committees.
The chances all favor the prompt adoption
OF the resolution fixing March %. g. and "a
for the consideration OF the Bland bill. II tho
anti silver men we're certain OF not encounter
ing the Committee on Rules. and could be left
to deal with tho question as 1t will stand after
the adoption Of this resolution. they might
hope to defeat tho BILL It would be very sim
pie matter to extend the discussion OF the
measure over the three days during which it
will have privilege without permitting
vote to be reached. Then with no
further action OF the Committee on
Rules the bill would so back to the calendar.
and would be in no better shape than It is now.
It is very evident however. that the anti
silver men are not going to be permitted to
take advantage OF this situation. Mr.. Bland
will. probably at an early hour in the dis
cussion make o motion that the previous
question shall be considered ordered on
the bill at certain hour on Wednes-
day. the oath. and II the antl-silver men
flibuster against this motion he will
probably ask the Committee on Rules for
resolution fixing the hour for a vote. and in
all probability tho committee would do as he
asked. II he should fail. which Is not at all
probable no would have recourse to one
method OF prolonging the fight indefinitely.
provided majority OF the House stood by
him. That would be to prevent an adjourn
thus continue the Legislative day OF the oath
as long as might be necessary to reach vote.
