 WARRINGTON, Feb. 5.r-The resolution introduced in the senate by MT. Hale di- recting the committee of finance to have hearings on the tariff bill indicates the feeling on the part of the republicans that perhaps such hearings are to be de- nied. It was stated to-day that the oom- mittee would report the bill in ten days.
 eff the hearings are to bs denied." said MT. Allison, discussing the question, ''the republicans will be much surprised, for we understood that those who desired to bs heard would be given an opportunity to come before our committee
 B Senator Aldrich said: "The republi- cans will insist that these hearings be granted and 1t seems hardly possible that the committee will do as intimated. We were of the opinion that the matter had been disposed of heretofore"
 The guarded language used by the dsm- oSAohS 1AokAoSA6 OA tA0 AuhuCO CtW"ltt0o does not lead to the conclusion that hear irgs are considered by the democratic members with favor. MT. Voorhees, is willing to have hearings for limited num- Der of industries that may have been sf- fected and which were not discussed before the house committee, but he believes all the leading trades were represented and to repeat the hearings would be simply going over the same ground. He believes that the circulars sent out by the committee will accomplish as much as could any hear ing that might be granted.
 Repub blicana say that these replies will any good, and after they come it would re- qutre months to prepare the information contained. An objection made to these circulars by the republicans Is that the questions are not pertinent to the rates proposed by the new law.
 MT. Jones of Arkansas is Inclined to limit hearipgs to the shortest time, while MT. Vest makes no attempt to conceal the fact that he is opposed to hearings. It is stated that MT. McPherson declares that the tariff bill is party measure and that he will coincide with what his colleagues believe is best. The indications are that the democratic members will prepare their bill and then lay 1t before the republicans h It's completed state, as was done in the house.
 The statement that the bill will be re- ported within period as short as ten days confirms the story that the democrats have been at work upon bill for some time. It Is said that Senators Vest and Jones of Arkansas, aided by MT. Mills, have for two weeks been at work in MT. Mills' commit tee preparing bill which has had for its basis the Wilson bill.
 One of these three senator's stated this morning that the bill would go through without material change and he was confi- dent the income feature would be kept in the bill. Additional light may be thrown upon the situation at the meeting of the finance committee to morrow.
