With it comes an era of uncertainty that
x causing the senators in charge of the
npasuremuch uneasiness. Although the
rrasent amicable agreement under which
the bill is being considered in general
debate from i O'Clock until o'clock in
the a fternoon is to end with the speech of
Mfr Mills. of Texas, on Tuesday next, the
democrats know that the general de-
hate will not end at that time, and
that although on the day following the
hin will be up for consideration by para
c~aphs the field of debate will be broad
ened. and the opportunity for the con-
sumption Of time will be enhanced. 1t is
the impossibility of foreseeing just where
the discussion will end that is causing the
managers of the bill much worry.
The attitude of the republicans during
the past week has not been encouraging
for il has made conspicuous the fact that
the minority considers any means justifi-
able TO prevent final action on the tariff
measure,
QUAY's TACTICS.
MIR. Quay started in with a speech that
was made up largely of census
statistics devoted to the iron
and allied industries of his state,
and when Saturday night came MIR.
Quay had not finished telling the Senate
how unjust the pending bill would be to
the industries Of Pennsylvania, nor had
-.- NJ ceased &c quote. from his formidable,
and. apparently, inexhaustible supply of
figures At the same time, Mr.. Quay
was very accommodating, and gracefully
yielded to any senator who wanted to
make speech, and he even went so far
as TO permit anyone to insert in the body
of his speech such remarks as the in
te,rupting member saw fit to make.
DoLPH UP TO THE SAME TRICK.
Meanwhile Mr. Quay yielded to Mr..
D0lph and that senator started in with a
would fill many columns of the Record
but nevertheless is said to be only Just be-
gun. MIR. DOlph himself assured the SEN
ate yesterday that he would submit the
remainder of his remarks in serial form
whenever the Senate would hear them
He, also, not to be outdone in senatorial
courtesy, yielded to Interruptions and
permitted others to make speeches in his
time.
The condition that now confronts the
Senate is one where two senators have
the floor and are yielding to such of
their colleagues as are ready to go on
with the debate, the two senator's
referred to holding themselves ready to
To take up the dicussion at any moment
and resume their remarks"
The present tariff situation in the
Sen8te calls to mind the many long
speeches made during the silver fight.
GRAY TRIES TO HEAD THEM OFF.
That the democrats appreciate what is
brewing is manifest from the amendment
offered to the rules by Mr.. Gray, of Della
ware, Friday, which provides that mo
senator shall read a speech, nor shall he
read from any book or paper, except it be
TO quote an authority or illustrate point
or argument which he ismaking, without
unanimous consent" This was aimed at

Such future quotations, in extenso, of

are not fearful of Mr.. Gray's proposed
amendment TO the rules. 1t has gone to
the burial ground of innumerable amend
ments that have preceded 1.-THE commit

WAsHBURN TO OPEN THE WEEK
The week will open with a speech by
MT Washburn, of Minnesota, who, after
pref discussion of the tariff in general.
Will devote himself to a consideration of
Ihe reciprocal relations of this country
growing out of the Mckinley act, and the

me abandonment of the policy. MIR.
NaShourn is a business man and has
made tins matter study, and his speech
- looked upon as very important con-
Irloutlon to the tariff literature of the
Jay. Mr. Washburn's prepared remarks
are said to be of exceeding length and
VIII occupy all of Monday.

amer dem, of Illinois, and later in the

lepuollcans during the past three weeks.
THE HAWAIIAN POLICY.
.. Another arrangement of the administra-
oioH w. on the Hawaiian policy will be heard
ou Wednesday, when Mr.. Higgins, of Del

Meunesday the tariff bill will be up for
uSslon by paragraphs will not inter
