The Senate consideration Of the tariff
bill is now only the matter Of a few
days, and Monday or Tuesday Of next
week will find the bill back into the
House. from which It came, but It returns
in very different shape indeed.
All Republican opposition which has
for so long kept back the bill, has been
withdrawn or rather defeated by the
persistent Democrats. and the final COM
pletion OF the bill Is only a matter now
Of necessary detail.
A report was circulated about the Sen
ate Hobbies this afternoon to the effect
that a final vote would be taken on
Monday. This was traced 10 Senator
Aldrich, and Is probably true, although
another day may possibly be required.
