mentary director of the Tarik bill, remarked that
the questions still remaining open in that bin were
more numerous than-though perhaps not 40 I'M
portant as-thOse which had been disposed OF yes
terday He therefore hoped that Senators would
consent and resolve dispose Of the bill before al
journment to-day. so that the Senate might have
holiday Tomorrow He should not attempt any
coercive measures on the subject either now or
hereafter: but he appealed In all sincerity ana
earnestnoss TO Senators TO try and dispose OF the
bill to-day.
Mr. Plat Rep. Comm agreed with Mr. Harris
in his desire to finish the bill to-day but II that
should not be done he would Ike to know whether
the Senator from Tennessee would stn insist on a
session tomorrow.
Mr. Harris replied that consulting his own sense
of duty and propriety he should stay here tonight
and all day tomorrow and tomorrow night rather
than let the bill go over another day or two.
Mr. Cullom Rep. I'D suggested that more prog
ress would be made If the Senate proceeded at

he was concerned he was willing to have the Dill
finished to-day If 1t could be done. with due con-
sheraton; or II not to-day, on Thursday. but ne
certainly hoped that the Senator from Tennessee
would on no account think of proceeding with TINS

of a worse work for the Senate OF the United

pioyment to million farmers
Mr.. George Dem. Mss asked Mr. Sherman
whether he would be content with a small duty on
wool without also raising the duties or wooden
goods
Mr. Sherman replied that no change Of duties
would be required woollen goods except as 70

The interests Of the wOol-grower and Of the wooen
