COMING TARIFF LEGISLATION

-
WASHINGTON. Dec. 10.-The sudden
collapse of the bankruptcy bill in the
house last Friday has somewhat disor-
ganized the programme in the house for
the coming week. which it was sup
posed would be almost entirely devoted
to that subject As it is, the house will
begin the week tomorrow with no def
mite work in view. The tariff will not
come up for debate until week from
tomorrow, the 18th, at the earliest.
although, if the present intention of the
Democratic members OF the ways and
means committee holds. the bill, that is
the customs features of the bill, will be
reported on wednesday. The majority
report will be filed with the bill, but it
will be some days later before the
Republicans have their report prepared.
The bill tor the admission of Ut h.
which consumed the morning hour on
Friday. will again come up during the
morning tomorrow. The Republicans
ing programme, and at the conclusion
OF the hour tomorrow the privilege of
the bill will end and it will return to
its place OIL the calendar. Mr.. Kilgore.
OF Texas, who is in charge of the
measure. says that, in that event, he
will ask the committee on rules for a
day for consideration. and he expects
that
BEFORE SAT URDAY NIGHT
the bill will have passed the house and
have been sent to the senate. Tuesday
the committee on judiciary meets, and
at is expected that it will Immediately
report with favorable recommends
ton. Mr.. Bailey's bill for the estab.
lishment of voluntary system of bank
ruptcy, although the house gave
crushing majority against the Torrey
bill, which included both the voluntary
and involuntary features, the prevailing
opinion is that all overwhelming senti-
ment in the house fayors single vol
.untary bankruptcy law. and Mr.. Bailey
thinks that it can and will De passed
without debate. The Bailey bill differs
radically from the Torrey bill. 1t Gre
ates no new Off cials except trustees. is
limited i'll its application to those who
desire to take advantage of its provis-
ions, and is Gistinctively temporary in
its character. 1t is framed, as Mr..
Bailey says. to cut two holes, one to let
the honest debtor out and begin bust
ness life anew; the other to catch and
hold the debtor.
There are no bills of Importance on
the calendar. The most important, per-
haps, is to protect
FOREST RESERVATIONS,
which has already had some considera-
tion ana will probably be disposed of
this week. 1t gives over large amount
of Western lands. and is being heartily
opposed by the Western representa-
tives. Upon the house calendar
the most important bill is the famous
Billy McGarragahan claim to the rancho
Panoche grande. 1t is thought it will
also be disposed of this week. 1t is not
improbable also that the Hawaiian affair
may reach the arena of debate in the
house in some form before the week
closes. The contest over Senator HIPS
federal election repeal bill has from the
beginning of this congress been expect
ed to furnish more genuine political talk
than any likely to be under discussion.
Having succeeded during the Fifty-frSt
congress in preventing an enactment OF
the force bill, the Democrats, now that
they are in full control OF all branches
of the government, seek to follow uu
this triumph by wiping from the statute
books virtually all the laws permitting
federal interference at general cleo
tons, and as the party North and South
is united upon this policy, and as the
bill has already passed the house Of
representatives. would seem that there
is every prospect of Its success. Natu.
rally the Republicans as party will
ANTAGoNIZE THE BILL.
Some Republican senators are strong
ly opposed to the proposed legislation,
and will exert every legitimate power
to prevent favorable action. While
they recognize the futility of their
efforts in preventing the passage of the
bill, they hope in tie end to gain a
party advantage by putting their views
on record. Senator Hill's motion will
be antagonized by counter motion
from the Republicans to revert the bill
to the committee on privileges and cleo
lions, which will offer a substitute.
There is a possibility that Senator
Hoar's motion may carry. If it should,
the future consideration of the bill
may be postponed. bnt the Republican
triumph will be only temporary. The
Hill bill is now with the committee
on the Judiciary. There is likely to be
considerable debate of partisan char
acter before the result can be determ-
ined. The programme for the week
also promises a speech by Senator Nor
rill on the financial features of the
presidents message. The venerable
senator from Vermont generally treats
the senate to speech early in the ses-
sion on some financial topic. The Ha-
waiian question will again during the
week receive the attention of the en-
ate. 1t is even possible that it may be
taken up to the displacement OF other
orders mentioned. The past week has
developed the fact that large nnmber
of Democratic senators stand ready to
defend Mr.. CIeveland's policy. CoDse-
Quently the discussion of this topic will
not be one-sided when it shall occur.
The senate calendar, while not very
long, contains a sufficient number of
bills and resolutions to keep that body
entirely employed. There will be moro
or less executive business. In all prob
ability adjournment will be taken again
on Thursday until the following Nom
day.
