MANY CHANGES.
Compromise Am endmsnts to the
 Tariff Bill Agreed On.
THE SUGAR SCHEDULES CHANGED.
Another Erort to Be Made In the House This Week to Admit New Mexico to Statehood The Approprla-
 ton Bills.

WASHINGTON, May 7.-The week will in all probability witness some inter- esting developments in the tariff dis cussion. The armistice arranged on Friday will end tomorrow, if not con tinued by agreement, and the debate, which was interrupted on Friday in the midst of one of MT Quay's sen tences, to allow the democrats to ar range their compromise, will be re- stunned if the compromise shall prove to have progressed so far as to admit of the introduction of the amendments proposed.
 If the latest plans do not fail the amendments will be introduced in the senate to-day. The senators who are engaged in formulating them were at work upon them all day yesterday, notwithstanding it was Sunday. There will be few startling changes, but a great many of them. Indeed it is known the amendments, when incor- porated in the bill, will show as many, if not more, alterations than were made in the house bill by the finance com |, mittee, when reported to the senate.
 The amendments will be found most numerous on the chemical, iron and steel, agricultural and sugar schedules, but they will affect the entire bill, in- cluding woolens, cotton goods, metals and many other articles. In almost every instance where there have been changes increases have been made, and there has been a general slaughtering of the ad valorem for specifies The al. IL, T and iron manufactures will show an interesting transformation if reports be correct
 It is understood if when the compro- mise bill is once before the senate the republicans do not show disposition to discuss it's merits upon lines laid down by the democratic managers, they will make an effort to expedite business by lengthening the hours of the daily ses- sions and by curtailing the liberties of debate now enjoyed. This policy was curtly intimated in the reply made by Senator Harris to an inquiry as to whether the present hours would be observed after Tuesday. Yes" he re- piled, until we move for longer" The republicans will resist an effort of this character, and when it is made some unwritten speeches may be ex- pected. The only set speech so far an nounced for the week is one by Senator Hoar on Tuesday.
 The coming week in the house prom ises to give opportunity for another ef- fort to admit New Mexico to statehood, for sharp contest over purchasing a ett tta f~r mt infi m office, and then for consideration of ,the remaining appropriation bills on the calendar-naval, Indian and agri cultural To-day, being individual suspension day, permits bills to be called up out of their order The friends of the New Mexico bill have long awaited this opportunity, as the new quorum rules gives them a hope of passing the bill. The contest has as. sumed party aspect, as Delegate Jo- seph, of New Mexico, and others inter- eSted in the measure regard the pros pective state as surely democratic. They may be offset somewhat by an effort to admit Oklahoma, which is re- r.a-ded as prospective republican state.
 Representative Banlhead, chairman of the committee on public buildings and grounds, has been promised to-day for the government printing bill The present office is in such rickety and dangerous condition that speedy re- moval is imperative.
 It is expected the naval appropria- tion bill will be reached on Wednesday, and Chairman Cummings of the naval committee, thinks one day will be suf- fcient for the consideration and pas sage of the measure. There is the chance, however, that an animated controversy may arise over recent na- val armor plate frauds. The committee will not provoke the contest as these frauds have already induced the com mittee to cut the appropriation for armor plates. There are members out side the committee, however, who would like to ventilate the whole sub feet on the floor of the house.
 The Indian appropriation bill will consume the latter part of the week. Chairman Holman, who reported it, has inaugurated several features of economy which reduces the total of the bill about Sl, GOO, OOO below the totals of previous years. This promises to bring out sharp comment. Representative Wilson, of Washington state, is pre- pared to maintain that economy should not be carried to the extent of crip- bling the Indian service. Mir. Wilson says the discussion of the bill will be so thorough that it cannot be passed within a week.
 This programme will probably keeT the house busy throughout the week If, however, the Indian bill is disposed of earlier than expected, the agricult ural appropriation till will consume the balance of the week. The most important committee work of the weel will be the reporting of the Legislative and judicial appropriation bill, which is the last of the great appropriation bills.
