The Next Important Debate on the
New Tariff Bill.
THE WOOL AND WoOLEN SCHEDULE


II IL Expected That This WIN be Reached
Before the End Of the Week, and That
It WIZ PreoipitAte Three or -Four Days
Discussion.
WASHINGTON, June lit Is expected
on both sides Of the senate chamber that
the woolen schedule will be reached dur
Ing the present week in the consideration
OF the tariff bill There is a tncit apree-
msnt among the Republican and Demo
cratic leaders that the debate shall be con
tinued under the five minute rule on the
wine, cotton manufactures and fax sched-
ule. Senator Aldrich, as the representa-
tive of the Republican side Of the cham
Der, expressed the opinion that these
schedules would be disposed of with very
little delay. He said that the under
standing for five minute speeches would
not be continued when the woolen sched-
ule should be reached and he expressed
the opinion that three or four days debate
would be necessary before the wool aud
woolen schedule is acted on. Some Of the
Democratic leaders think the schedule
may be disposed Of in two days.
This schedule will develop one Of the
most important debates connected with
the bill Next to the duty on sugar, free
wool has attracted more attention than
any other item in the bill, and there
can be no doubt that many Republican
senators will make speeches vigorously as
sailing the Democratic position
The Democrats, while not expecting or
hoping to secure consideration of this
schedule under the five minute rule, are
nevertheless hopeful that they can make
an arrangement for the fixing of def
mite number of days for the debate 1t is
understood this is one end they have in
view in arranging the preliminaries for
night sessions, as they have been doing in
securing pledges Of Democratic senator's
70 remain until the steering committee
shall consent TO an adjournment each day.
This is to be an elastic arrangement,
and late night sessions will be resorted to
only in case of evident determination on
the part of Republican senators to DELAY a
vote. This is not expected on any Of the
items which precede the woolen schedule.
nor do many senators think IL will be un-
dertaken in that connection. The Dem.
ocratic leaders, however, regard II as best
to be prepared to meet the emergency IL
IL should present itself. They desire also.
If it should prove that there are to be an
unsuspected number Of long speeches on
the woOlen schedule, to work them off as
rapidly as possible by resort to night ses.
slons for that purpose.
1--WE do not, " said Senator Harris. "want
to impose any unnecessary hardships, but
we want to make an impression on the bill
