Voorhees, and Lindsay will make ad
dresses at this juncture. There Is still
MUCH UNCERTAINTY
about the power of Senator Villas mo-
tion to hold its position, notwithstand-
ing the fact that those who oppose it
hold it to be clearly out Of order. The
best advices indicate that when the
chair rules it out the ruling will be sus-
tanned. but this will depend largely
upon Republican votes. Some of the
Democratic senators friendly to the mo-
tion assert that the Republican vote
will be solidly against such ruling,
but this does not appear prob
able. If the motion should be
declared out of order, there
will be an effort to renew it in some
other form, possibly by amending Sem
ator Gray's motion to recommlt the bill
to the conference committee without ln-
structing. 1t now appears quite certain
that the advocates of the motion Will
exhaust all resources to have instruc-
tIonS given as implied by the motion.
If they should not succeed in this, there
would then be an effort to pass Senator
Gray's motion to send the bill back to
conference without Instructions, under
which arrangement the conterees could
recommend the striking out OF the
sugar ditferential if they should see fit.
With the tariff bill disposed or in what
ever way. the senate Will take up the
Sundry civil and general deficiency ap-
preparation bills if they shall be re-
ported from committee. These are the
only appropriation bills which the sem
ate has not passed upon. An effort will
be made by the committee to have the
sundry civil bill ready to submit to the
senate early In the week. 1t will carry
larg. number of changes, and is lia-
bic 70 cause considerable debate when
lakeu up. For the rest there is long
calendar awaiting the attention of the
senate
DlSQUIETING RUMoR.
There is real apprehension on the
part of the friends OF the bill that there
will be an effort made to supersede the
motions now pending with one TO post
pone the bill indefiuiteiy. The discov-
cry that such motion was contemplated
Friday was the reason for adjournment
over until Monday, and it is believed by
those on the inside that If the motion
had been made, and had not been ruled
out of order, it would have carried.
The same apprehension is felt in case
the motion should now be entered
There has been no effort to secure
Democratic conference today, and there
does not appear to be any likelihood of
one tomorrow. Many senator's, in
cluding Senator German. chairman
of the Democratic caucus, aud
Senator Jones. of the conference
committee, are out of the city. Ali the
senators spoken to upon the subject ex-
press the opinion that every effort to
reconcile the differences at the present
stage of the proceedings would be fu-
tile. Senator Villas still adheres to his
determination to insist upon his amend
ment, and says he will not withdraw it.
The house branch of the tariff mbroglio
is QuieScent, while the senate's position
remains underlined. Three of the four
house confereeS have taken advantage
of the senate struggle to get out of town
and secure much-needed rest. Mr.. Will
son is at his West Virginia home. Mr..
Montgomery has gone to Kentucky and
Mr.. McMlllin to New York. This leaves
IN town, SO that overtures to or from the
house could not be made If desired. in
short, the house appears to be leaving
the question entirely with the senate
for the present.
