IN FAVOR OF cLosURE.
Democratic Senators Getting Tired OF the
Delay.


WASHINGTON, d. c., Nav 1.-That
the rank and file Of the Democratic
party In the Senate is becoming impa-
tient at the delay in the consideration
OF the tariff bill was shown yesterday
by the circulation OF a declaration In
favor OF closure Of debate. The paper
was prepared By Senator George and
was quietly circulated during the after
noon, being handed only to the most IN
fiuential Senators. IL was not signed
by all 10 whom IL was presented, some
OF the Senators expressing the opinion
that IL was too early to attempt CLOS
ure and Others declining on principle.
The paper recites-that IL has become
apparent that the Republican opponents
OF the tariff are determined TO resort TO
filbustering to prevent the proper con
sideratiOn and passage OF the DILL, aud
commits the signers 10 a simple deelara-
tiOn in favor Of closure. IL makes no
specification as TO how the change shall
be brought about, whether through the
presiding officer or the Committee on
Rules, leaving that point as well as
that TO whether it shall be modified
or an absolute closure 20 be decided
later.
1t does not appear that the call will
be pressed for the time being, but 1t Is
to be handed around quietly as oppor-
tunity permits, so as to have the Demo
cratic side prepared for the change, II
undertaken, and also 10 have Senators
committed to il as far as possible.
Senator Harris said that be Is not yet
prepared to announce any change OF
hours fer the daily sessions, out tnat
he might have announcement In than
direction 10 make before many days.

WASHINGTON. d. c., May An
alarming condition of affeirs so far as
the ventilation of the House OF Reprs-
sentatives is concerned was shown in
report made by experts to the committee
on ventilation and acoustics to-day.
The report showed that 4O0,000 cubic
feet of impure air comes up TO the main
floor from the cellar every hour, and
that the good air that is forced through
the main floor Of the House passes
through gratings that are practically
cuspidors and receptacles for bits Of
paper and other cast off matter. Be-
sides this the report showed that there
are a large number of documents on
the lower floor, many OF which are In
state Of decay. and the carpets on the
House floor are saturated with filth and
tobacco juice, and need cleaning. The
experts recommend as remedy for this
condition of affairs that air be pumped
in from above the hall instead OF from
below, as now.
