WASHINGTON, April 22.-The pros
pect is that the tariff debate in the
senate will continue this week much OH
the same lines as have been observed
since the agreement for the regulation
of hours of debate was entered into,
Notwithstanding the arrangement that
the reading of the bill by paragraphs
shall he begun on Wednesday at l
o'clock. The Republican senators are
counting upon the continuation OF this
programme for at least another week.
and exdect to go on with their general
speeches just as they have been doing
for the past three weeks. General
debate" said Senator Aldrich, in dis
cussing the outlook, twill conclude
Tuesday at 5 o'clock. and will be re-
suIned Wednesday at O'clock" Sem
ator Aldrich is among those who have
not vet spoken upon the general fea-
lures OF the bill, and he will not now
have time to get in before the reading
of tile bill is begun. He will possibly
speak on "Wednesday or Thursday,
though probably not before the begin
ming of next week. Besides replying to
Senator Mills, he will devote himself
especially TO the revenue features Of
tine pending bill. The speeches an
nounced for the week are those of
Washburn on Monday; Mills and Pal
mer OH tuesday. Higgins On Wednes-
day and Cuilom on Thursday or Friday.
Other speeches. among them one by
Senator Lindsey, of Kentucky, may be
made on any of these days, and. if no
one else should be
PREPARED TO PROCEED
at any time, Senator Quay will con-
tinue the speech of which lie has already
delivered several installments. 1t Is
understood that he has not exhausted
more than half of the material he has
collected upon the various features OF
the bill, and that when his speech is
finally concluded and printed it will
make large book on the tariff. Senator
Dolph may also at any time conclude
his unfinished speech. Senator Mills is
expected to reply in a general way for
the members of the finance committee
to the attacks which have been made
upon the bill, and his speech will be
about three hours in length. Senator
Higgins will discuss the Hawaiian
question, basing his speech upon the
provision contained in the first report of
tie senate bill for the notification Of
the reciprocity treaty with the islands,
and will advocate their annexation to
the United States. Nine Republican
senators will make manifest their dis
position TO contest every inch of ground
at the very beginning of the discussion
of the paragraphs as such on Wednes-
day by attempting to have the provision
of The first paragraph providing that
the new tariff shall 60 into effect on the
3oth of June changed. They will con-
tend that the custom has always been 10
give at least six months notice In max
ing a change of the tariff laws. They
also say that there are other provisions
in this paragraph which will require
CAREFUL CONSIDERATION,
and a number of them agree in saving
that it is probable that the chemical
:ncdule, the first in the bill. will not
b, reached before next week. Senator,
lao: coli hot
agreement had been reached for tie
continuance Of the present agreement
as to hours for debate, and he was not
prepared TO say what would be done in
that respect when that stage Of the con-
sideration of the bill should be reached.
at will depend upon circumstances,
he said, "whether we shall go on as at
present. We possibly may dnring this
week, but should say no longer. We
have already had the bill under con-
sideration for three weeks, and its op-
ponentS have consumed the greater
part of the time. They certainly should
have had opportunity TO exhaust their
long speeches, and, if disposition
should he shown to continue to make
them, shall ask for ali extension of
the daily time for debate. We shall lave
to come to that soon if it becomes ap-
parent that those who are unfriendly
to the bill mean to adopt dilatcry tao
tics. l think we shall begin by meeting
earlier, and if that change does not suf-
fee to exact sufficient progress, we
shall gradually extend the hours into
the night. and then will begin contest
which must either exhaust the senate or
the senators and result in tilal action
upon the BILL"
