Fiery Bursts of Eloquence Today-The
 Situation Has Not Cleared Up Any Over
 sunday-IndefinIte Postponement.
 WASHINGTON, July 23.-Au interest in the senate proceedings for the present week centers in the efforts which will be made to settle the tariff controversy as raised by the report of the conference dis agreement. The week will begin with this question in the foreground, and no one can foresee what amount of time will be consumed upon 1t or what will be tho result os the debate, which will begin again today at noon.
 There was little doubt this morning ahat today's proceedings will he of n very animated character. All efforts to com promise the differences on the tariff and to allay the feeling engendcrcd by the presidents letter to Mir. Wilson had so was expected to develop series of very interesting speeches, which bid fair to be characterized by words both plain and pointed.
 No Prospect of Peace.
 Democratic senators agrce that there Is now no prospect of reaching an under standing in the party before the session, and this cannot be done until the temper of the senate shall be still further ex-
 
 If there should bc no change of pro- gramme, Senator Hills motion to rccedc from the senate amendments to make coal and iron orc dutiablo at 10 cents por ton and put both on the free list will be first decided after which Senator Villas mo tion 10 amend the sugar schedule by strik- ing out the onc-eighth of n cont differcn- tial on refined sugar will be subject of dis cussion.
 f fS thfS hat hn interesting part of the debate is expected to occur. Senator Hill expects to gain q few votes over tho number secured for his motion when offered by himself be- fore the bill went to conference, but he does not think it will show any great strength and comedies that interest is ab sorbcd by the Villas motion, which he fa- vOrs us strongly as he does his own.
 The duration of tho discussion upon tho Villas amendment will probably de- pend largely upon the time when the point of order which will be made against it shall be made. When point of order is once made, it lies with the chair to say how long debate upon it shall continue, With Senator Harris in the chair the ces- sation might be very sudden at any time after the point had been made.
 It Is n general feeling, however that while the point is sure to be raised at somc time it will not be presented at the begin ming of the debate.
 It Is a generally recognized fact that there are several senators who are deter mined to speak upon the general qucs- tions which the publication of Mir. Clovc- lands letter has raised, and that these speeches will find vent in some other con ncction if not in that. Unless the scna- tors who arc expected to speak change their minds thcrc will bc no mincing of l words when the talk shall bpnin Senator German is slated for speech | during the day, and those who arc in his confidence say he considers that the presi i dents lcttor is directed largely ut himself and that his uttcrances will show his re 1 sentiment. It is also understood that ho will take the position that the senate bill must be sustained and will give his req | sons therefor
 | Mills and Villas In the Van. Senator Mills will, with senator Villas, lead the fight for the Villas motion. He will also speak on the general features oi the question at issue and will sustain the | presidents position in his own vigorous | manner. With Inference to tho Villas mo | tion he will take issue with those who | consider it out of order and will contend | that n ruling to sustain the point of order would be unconstitutional, saying that 1 the greater privilege of moving to amend l h DllI III COnItFCnCt bN TNCGulns rom hT entire amendment carries with it tho lesser privilege of rrceding from a part oi any amendment.
 The Texas and Wisconsin senators ar, ! regarded us the especial champions of tho | president on the issues now at stake and 1t Is intimatcd that one of the r,.asun. they have, apart from their convictions or the question, for champiOning the move mcnt is the desire to meet and by thcil l ln.,F- the executive rnfuie tho charge which Ina. been made in certain quarters that tn, president $ letter was intended to suppor the argument for duty On refined suga as against coal and iron orc and ut her raw materials.
 Senators NoorhccS, Bricc and Lindsay are among the other Democratic senator who may speak during the day, and manl others, including senators Hill and Villas will probably participate in the debate MT, Brice had expected to speak on Fri day, but was cut of by adjournment, an, ! he now says that circumstances will de eide whether he shall talk at all II l also indefinite as yet whether Mcssrs Noorhecs and Lindsay will make ad dresses at this juncturc
 There is still much uncertainty abou the power of senator Eilas' motion L hold its position, notwithstanding th | AaSS tAaAb tllbSS W OPpoSS II hbll II 10 D clearly out of order. The best adviccs in dicatc that when the chair rules it out tn ruling will be sustained, but this will de pend largely upon Republican votes Some of the Democratic senators fricndl to the motion assert that tho RcpubIica vote will be sOlidly against such n rulluS but this does not appear probable
 Indefinite Postponement Foarsd. If the motion should be declared out ( , order, there will be an effort to renew , in other form. possibly by amending Ser ator Gray's motion to rccommit tho bi to conference committee without instru,
 tions. It now appears quite certain thI
 the advocates of the motion will exhaui N | all parliamentary resources to have iI y structiors given as implied by the motion
 If they should not succeed in this, the
 would then be an effort to pass Senate
 Gray's motion to send the bill back = conference without instructions, und'
 which arrangement the confcrecs cou
 recommend the striking out of the sugi
 differential if they should see fit. Thero Is real apprehension on the pa
 of the friends of the bill that there will
 an effort made to supersede tho motiol
 now pending with one to postpone tl
 bill indefinitely.
 The discovery that such a motion w
 contemplated Friday was the reason f
 the adjournment over until Monday. aI
 1t is believed by those on the inside tn, if the motion had been made and had m
 been ruled out on point of order
 would have carried. The same apprehe U sion Is felt in case the motion should no N | be entered.
