WASHINGTON, D. c., May 6.-To-mor-
row will probably witness some inter
esting developments in the tariff dis
cussion. The armistice arranged on
Friday will end next Tuesday, il not
continued by agreement, and debate,
which was interrupted on Friday in the
midst Of one Of Mr.. Qusy's sentences,
to allow the Democrats 70 arrange
their compromise, will be resumed II
the compromise shall prove to have
progressed so far as TO admit Of the in-
PRODUCTION OF the amendments proposed.
II the latest plans do not fail the
amendments will De intrOd uced in the
Senate tomorrow. The Senators who
are engaged in formulating them have
been at work upon them all day to-day
Notwithstanding it is sunday. They
we're also employed with them a good
part Of the last night. They had the
ASSISTANCE OF SEVERAL EXPERTS.
No definite idea OF the amendments
could be conveyed without giving all
the amendments, and they will not be
given 20 the press until presented Ia the
Senate. There will be few startling
changes, but a great many OF them.
UIn almost every instance where there
have been changes increases have been
made and there has been general
sRughtering Of the ad valOrem for Spe-
cities. The sugar schedule is totally
changed and iron manufactures will
show an interesting transformation II
reports be correct. With the amend
ments once in the Senate il will be in-
teresting 10 observe the programme OF the
Republicans The Democrats have be-
lIeyed that IL they could secure bill
which would insure the support OF 43
Senators, the Republicans would yield
after formal and business-like protest
against the changes, and they have as
sured the Republican tariff leaders that
the bill which they hope to presept
Monday will have the support OF 43
Democratic Senators.
II is understood that il when
THE COMPROMISE BILL
ieonce before the Senate, the Republi-
c.,ns do not show a disposition TO dis
cuss it's merits upon lines laid down by
the Democratic managers, they will
make an effort 20 expedite business BY
lengthening the hours OF daily sessions
aud by curtailing the liberties OF debate
now enjoyed.
This policy was curtly intimated IN
the reply made by Senator Harris TO an
inquiry as 10 whether the present hours
would be observed after Tuesday.
''Yes." he replied, "unth we move FOR
longer"
The Republicans will resist an effort
of this character and when II is made
some unwritteu speeches may be ex-
uected. The only set speech so far
announced FOR the week is one by Sena-
tor Hoar on Tuesday. The Chinese
treaty will occupy the Senate to-mor-
row.
THE NEW MEXICO BILL.
The coming week in the House prom
ises 10 give opportunity for another ef-
fort 20 admit New Mexico TO Statehood
for o sharp contest over purchasing a
new site for the Government printing
office, and then fer a consideration OF
the remaining appropriation bills on
the calendar-naval, Indian and agr-
cultural.
Monday being individual suspension
dav. permits bills 90 be called up out Of
their order. The friends OF the New
Mexico bill have long awaited this op-
u0rtuuity, as the new quorum counting
rule gives them a hope Of passing the
BILL The contest has assumed a party
aspect, as Delegate Joseph, OF New
Mexico, and others interested In the
measure regard the prospective State
as>uredly Democratic. This may be
Offset somewhat by an effort to admit
Oklahoma, which Is regarded as pros
pective Republican State.
10 is expected that the naval appro-
priatOn bll be reached on Wednesday
vnd Chairman Cummins OF tue naval
committee thinks one day will be suf'
fc.ent FOR the consideration aud passage
Of The measure. There is the chance,
however, that an animated controversy
may arise over recent navat
AENoB PLATE FRAUDS.
The committee will not provoke the
contest as these frauds have already IN
Ouced the committee 70 cut the aD-
preparation for armOr plates.
There are members outside
the committee, however, who
would Ike 10 venti0te the whole
subject on the floor OF the House.
The Indian appropriation bill will
consume the latter pant Of the week.
