week Will see the conclusion of the de.
hate on the tariff bill in the house. Ac.
cording to thespecial order, the voting
on tho bill and pending amendments
will begin next Monday at noon.
During the past week no amendments
Of substantial importance have been
voted on with any chance of adoption
except that fixing the date upon which
free wool would go into effect, which
was carried ty the radical Democrats,
with the aid of some Republicans, over
the protest of the Democratic members
Of the ways and mean committee. This
coming week, however, will witness the
fight over the big amendments to be of
fered from the Democratic side. The
full measure of the Democratic opposi.
ton to the bill will then develop, and con.
siderable bad blood will doubtless be
manifested.
Conl and Iron Orc Schedules.
Tuesday has been set apart for the
consideration of the amendments to the
tree coal and iron ore schedules. Tne
present duty OF both these articles is rs
cents per ton. The coal men, especially
of Virginia, West Virginia and Ala.
lama, arc at the back Of this opposi.
ton and have the support pretty gen.
orally of the Democratic representatives
from those states.
The iron interests Of the south, Ala
bama and Tennessee, and of the LAX,
Superior district, including the vessel
interests Of the lakes, is fighting against
free iron ore. Both are willing to yielt

VIII Divide It's Attention.
The present Indications are that the
senate will divide it's attention in the
main this week between the federal cleo
tions bill and the policy of a bond issu.
as decided upon by the secretary of this
treasury. There has now been a posi-.
tive agreement upon the part of the Re
publicans to continue the discussion OF
the elections bill and to take it up with
a view to its final disposition. Many OF
the Republican senators have given
public assurance that they would not
seek to delay the final vote upon this
bill beyond a reasonable time fordebate,
and that the Republican caucus took no
action looking to deciding upon a policy
concerning this measure, would seem to
Indicate that no such course would be
pursued.
Determined to Dispose OF 1t.
On the other hand, the continued
postponement of the interrupted discus.
sion of the subject would seem to indi-
cate that there may be some design of
brushing the subject aside by pleading
for delay until the tariff bill shall reach
the senate and to absorb its entire tins
with that. 1t is evident that the Demo.
cratic leaders have some apprehension
Of a policy of this kind and are deter.
mined that if such a purpose is enter.
tanned it shall not succeed. They will
have 4 doube reason for insisting on
proceeding with the elections debate
this week. First, that they are quite
determined to dispose Of the subject be.
fore the tariff bill is reached, and sec.
ond, that they wish to as far as possible
divert the speech making in the senate
from the bona question. Hence, it may
r%easonably be inferred that the program
as agreed to in the senate on Thursday
last with respect to this bill will b, OBJ.
served.
VIII Speak on the Bond Question.
Senator Lodge has given formal notice
Of an intention to speak on the bond
quest IN Wednesday and Senators Hoar,
Frye. Chand.e r, Higgins ana Hawley
have indicated they would ask to be
heard upon the bill before it shall! La
definitely disposed of. Among Demo,
Crafts who will probably speak upon the
bill are Senators Gay aud Hill.
