THE END II SIGHT" SAYS one.
In the House General Legislation VIII Con-
sumo the Week-Busy Days Ahead
for Representatives in Both the
Branches of Congress.

WASHINGTON. May 22-"The end is
in sight remarked Senator Jones, of
the finance committee. and we expect
to begin gathering taxes under the
Wilson bill on the first day of July.
which begins the new fiscal wear"
This statement was Endorsed by Mr..
Harris. The fact that beginning today
the senate meets at 10 o'clock, and the
belief that the republicans nave de-
cided not to interpose unreasonable
opposition or prolonged debate on the
bill, lead the managers of the bill to
take a cheerful view of the situation.
Messrs. Harris, Voorhees, and Jones. of
Arkansas, assert that they nave the 43
votes necessary to pass the bill. The
republican leaders admit the impossi-
bility OF consolidating their votes into
n cohesive whole. subject to the call of
the parliamentary managers. The
metal schedule has nov been reached
and but two more schedules remain to
be acted upon before the sugar sched-
u!e Is called up. Democrats assert that
they will finish the metal and wood
schedules this week, but republicans
say the debate on iron ore and the
manufacturers OF iron will be protected.
and that the metal schedule cannot
possibly lie disposed Of this week, leav-
ing the free lumber debate TO follow a
week later.
No set speeches have been arranged
on the tariff, but it is probable that
Mr.. Quay viii come to the front again.
as his state is especially interested in
the metal schedule. Mr.. Quay's speech.

With seven and a half hours a day for
the consideration OF the pending bill
during the current week, it would seem ;
that some Roadway ought to be made. /
Mr.. Morgan is anxious to have the !
Chinese treaty disposed Of, and it may
happen that Mr.. Harris will grant him |
al afternoon for this purpose.
The Week in the House.
Some general Legislation is in sight
n the house this week. The managers
have come to the conclusion that it will
he safe now to intermit for a brief
period their efforts to send appropria-
ton bills to the senate inasmuch as
that body is apparently committed to
the tariff bin for d month or more. to
the exclusion Of all other business.
Two or three days will be required, it
is believed for the consideration Of the
