THE WEEK I'M ooNsnKss.

The Sugar Schedule of tho Tarfh
Bill VIII be Attacked by RepubH.
can Senators-Senator Hill VIII
move to Put All Sugars on the
Free List-Work of she House.
WASHINGTON, May 27.-The ninth week
of the debate on the tariff bill opens to-
morrow. Before the week is well under
way the discussion will have begun on the
sugar schsduls, which will be made the oc-
casion for violent attacks on tho republic
can side of the chamber. Democrats,
among them MI. Brice, express the belief
that almost three or four days will be con-
sumed in the discussion of this schedule,
but republican leaders assert that the end
of next week will find the senate still talk
ing about sugar. Some republicans say it
would be improper for the senate to dis
pose of this part of the bill before the in
vestigation has been completed and Q re-
port made.
The work of the week will begin with q
epsech by Senator Walsh of Georgia. At
ter that the wood schedule will be taken
up and there is tscit agreement on both
sides of the chamber that this shall be
disposed of in the same day, although the
speeches against free lumber may run over
for short time into Tuesday.
On Tuesday the investigating committee
may submit partial report to the senate
on the refusal Of the newspaper men to
give the sources of information upon
which their sugar stories were based and
may ask the senate for instructions az to
what steps they shall take In the further
prosecution ot their investigation.
In accordance with custom the senate
will probably adjourn over Wednesday,
Decoration day.
The debate on sugar may begin in earn
est on Thursday morning. Senator Hill,
1t Is Understood, will, at some stage of the
list. The Republicans will hold q caucus
about the middle of the week to map out
q plan of campaign on the silver question.
The Republicans are not without hope
that they can put sugar on the free list for
they claim that If they give this PROPOSE
ton their solid support they can get votes
enough and to spare from the other side of
the chamber to act in concert with them.
What with Distric. of Columbia day
(Monday), private bill day friday and the
further consideration of the bill to
repeal the state bank tax law, the
week will be well nigh exhausted in the
house. The indications at Adjournment on
Saturday were that two or three days would
be required to accommodate all who had
expressed an intention of speaking upon
the pending measure. The chief speech in
favor of the repeal of the law is expected
from Mr.. Cox of Tennessee, who introduced
the amendment to that end. Mr.. Walker,
rep, of Massachusetts,, and other members
of the banking and currency committee are
on the list of speakers.
When the 10 per cent. bill has been dis
posed of Mr.. Hatch of Missouri will ask
the house TO devote few days to the con-
sideration of his anticipation bill. In this
he will meet the opposition of Mr.. Holman
of Indiana, who believes the committee on
Indian affairs, of which he is chairman,
ought not longer postpone the Indian bill.
II all the opponents of the anticipation
bill unite, 1t is believed that measure
must give way to the appropriation bill.
