indian Appropriation Bill Consider
ed in the House
WASHINGTON, June 10.
01HE fourth draft of tho pending
tariff bill which was laid before
the senAte for confederation ON

| tariff bill which was laid before
| the senate for consideration on
u April last names June 80 MS the
time when the law shall 90 into effect
That day ends the fiscal year, and
throughout all the prolonged debate
which has since occupied the senate,
MIR Jones and Mr. Harris have con.
tended that they would begin collect.
ing duties under the new law with the
beginning OF the new year. Tho pres
ent condition of things hardly supports
their belief. There are several very
important schedules yet to be con.
sidered, to say nothing Of matters that
have been left open pending final nc
ton when the bill comes out OF the
committee stage. and goes into the sen
ate.
The spirit schedule will probably be
completed tomorrow and the debate on
tho cotton schedule will then begin.
The wool schedule and the putting of
raw wool on the free list-questionr
which will follow-are bound to call
out protracted debate. Prolific sub
jects Of discussion will also be found
In the rates fixed on silk. papers and in
the sundries schedule, where coal will
be found. Pearl buttons and gloves
will be made the basis of considerable
talk and the free list can hardly be dis
posed Of in u day. Three great items
in the free list, agricultural imple-
ments. lumber and raw wool, will b.
stubbornly fought for the purpose of
making record, but without hope OF
changing the result.
When the bill has been finally con.
sidered in the committee OF the whole
and reported 10 the senate, the struggle
over sugar will be renewed. Mean.
while the condition Of appropriation
bills is giving the Democratic leaders
uneasiness and if they do not get
through by June Both, joint resolutions
extending the terms of the present ap-
preparation bills. will have to be
passed.
ORDERS FOR WORK FOR HOUSE,
The order Of work for the house this
week is pretty clearly blocked ont by
the managers, but that the house will
fill their desires is very uncertain.
Monday will be devoted to the affairs
of the District of Columbia The In
dian appropriation bill, OF which seven
pages wero considered last week, will
again be taken up under the 5 min.
ute rule. 1t is the hops of the leaders
that it will be ont of the way by We'd
nesday night, but the outlook is not
fiattering. If the bill shall drag along
later in the week summary end to
debate may be secured by means of an
order from the committee on rules.
Next in order will come the hill to
erect a government printing office on
one Of the public reservations in the
city, Mr.. Hatch's anti-optious bill, or
Mr.. Cooper's bill to tax greenbacks as
other money is taxed. These three
bills are marked for consideration af =
ter the ludian bill is ont Of the way
and before the general deficiency bill
shall be called up. The order in which
they will be considered, however, will
depend up the action Of the house it
self.
