WASHINGTON, D. c., June 1o.-lt Is
expected on both sides of the chamber
that the WOODEN schedule will be reach
ed during the present week in the con-
slderation of the tariff bill. There is a
tacit agreement among the Republicans
and Democratic leaders that the debate
shall be continued under the fve-min-
ute rule on the wool, cotton manutact-
ures and fax schedules. Senator
Aldrich, as the representative
OF the Republican side OF
the chamber to-day expressed the opln-
ion that these schedules would be dis
posed of with very little delay. lie
said that the understanding for hve-
minute speeches would not be con-
tinued when the WOODEN schedule
should be reached and be expressed the
opinion that three or four days debate
would be necessary before the wool and
WOODEN schedule is acted upon. Some
of the Democratic leaders think the
schedule may be disposed OF in two
days.
This schedule will develop one Of the
mostimportaut debates connected with
the bill. Next to the duty on sugar,
free wool has
ATTRACTED MORE ATTENTION
than any other item in the bill, and
there can be no doubt that many Re-
publican Senators will make speeches
vigorously assailing the Democratic po-
sition.
The Democrats, while not expecting
or hoping to secure consideration OF
this schedule under the ive-minute rule,
are nevertheless hopeful that they can
make an arrangement for the fixing OF
definite number of days for the de-
bate. IL is understood this is one end
they have in view in arranging the
preliminaries for night sessions, as
they have been doing in securing
pledges OF Democratic Senators 10 re-
main until the steering committee shall
consent TO adjournment each day. This
is to be an elastic arrangement and late
night sessions will be resorted to only in
case of evident determination on the
part Of the Republican Senators to de-
lay a vote. This is not expected
on any of the items which
precede the wooden schedule nor do
MANY Senators think it will be under
taken in that connection. The Demo-
cratic leaders, however, regard it best
to be prepared TO meet emergency If 1t
should present itself. They desire also,
il it should prove that there are to be
an unexpected number OF long speeches
on the wooden schedule, TO work them
off as rapidly as possible by resort TO
night sessions for that purpose.
I'VE do not" said Senator Harris,
want to impose any unnecessary hard
ships, but we want to make an impress
sion on the bill during the week.
IN THE HOUSE.
The Indian question in its various
ramifcations on schools, agents, ra-
tions, supply deuots, will continue to
occupy the attention OF the House~the
early days OF the coming week. Judge
Holman, in charge OF the bill, said to-
day that he expected to pass the bill by
Tuesday night, if ne was not obliged to
surrender on Monday to District OF
OOluUDld lGklSldblOus III 'AiSA SNSS ~
expects vote Wednesday.
After that there are a number OF i'm
portant bills struggling for priority.
The general deficiency bill will be re-
ported to the House on Tueseay, and
Chairman Ssyers, of the Appropriation
Committee, will urge its immediate con-
alteration in order to clear the calendar
OF appropriation bills. Representative
Savers will be in charge OF the Def
ciencv bill, Notwithstanding the fact
that Representative Breckenridge, Of
kentucky, is chairman Of the deficiency
of the subcommittee.
Ii is expected that Representative
Hatch will try to have the anti-option
bill follow the Indian bill. Represen-
tative Cooper, OF Indiana, also expects
TO have q day set apart soon for his
bill authorizing the taxation OF green
backs.
Representative Livingston, Of Geor-
gia, is pressing the bill for government
aid to the cotton exposition In Atlanta
Chairman Culbertsou, OF the judiciary
committee, also wants early recognition
for several important bills affecting fed
eral court procedure and the territor-
ial statehood bills are being vigorously
pressed TO the front.
No exact order of priority for these
bills has yet been made, but they are
the measures which are TO receive the
earliest attention.
