 A telegram received at headquarters from the strikers committee at St. Paul this afternoon announced that the Great Northern officials had instructed their employees that they need not han dle the cars of roads involved in the strike.

 THIS WEEK IN CONGRESS-.
 All Signs Point to the Tariff Bill Leaving
 the Senate-The House is Waiting.
 Washington, July 1.-Unless all the signs of the times fail this week will see the tariff bill out of the senate and on its way to the house, where the struggle is to be renewed pending the final contest in conference. The fight Is now for hours rather than days. The democratic managers are making ef- forts to get the bill out of the senate by Tuesday night. Senator Hill, 1t is said, talks this way in private, but he does not express himself so publicly. He is quoted by those who have dis cussed the situation with him as Say ing that the bill is dead. and it is be- lieved that rather than see the income tax put upon the country MT. Hill would not at all be disturbed should the tarih measure with that forming a part of 1t be defeated sn the final vote. There are clements that cause the ma 1ority some feeling of uneasiness over the outcome, among them the attitude of Senator Blanchard, and the asser- tions repeatedly made during the past week by the populists that because of their votes heretofore cast in commit tee of the whole in favor of the bill It. must not be assumed that they will necessarily vote for it under all condi- tions on final passage. Some of these rumors go so far as to say that MT. Allen last week notified MT. Jones through MT. Berry that he could not vote for the bill.
 Nevertheless, there appears to be lit- tie doubt that the bill will pass the senate substantially as amended. It does not seem certain the bill can be pushed through the senate in the two days set apart for that .ssk by Mr. Harris, for MT. Hill, who has relaxed none of his energy in his fight on the income tax, will insist upon discussing that subject again possibly, however, not to any great length. The repub- lioans, also, have number of matters to- which they will again call the atten- tion of the house. It is likely four, or perhaps five days may be consumed in further consideration of the bill, in stead of the two days designated by the democratic managers.
 In anticipation of the disposition of the tariff bill this week the committee . we'll in hand. Appropriation bills will not detain the senate long after the tariff bill is out of the way, for when 1t has it's mind so to do, the senate can easily pass two of them in a day. The only bill likely to cause any extended debate is the pension bill, which will form the ground work for number of partisan speeches.
 There will also be some criticism on the suspension of appropriations for building the new navy, The committee up to this has reported to the senate the notifications, pension, military, postoffce, diplomatic and military acad- emy bills. The agricultural appropria- ton bill will be reported tomorrow. The pension and army bills will prob- ably be the first called up in the sen- ate.
 The house will be in waiting humor until the senate tariff bill is laid before It.. Little interest will attach to it's until Chairman Wilson and his associates on the ways and means committee are in possession of their challenging, and are asked to de- ,ide what they are going to do with it. The session will be limited to five days, IS the Fourth is holiday. A number # committees have asked for days for he consideration of measures on the but the rules committee will not decide whether any special orders Iflall be made for the week until to- morrow. There is a disposition on the part of the committee to keep decks cleared for the tariff bill. \ One of the measures which may come 6, the Cooper bill to tax greenbacks.
