NEARING THE END.
Vote on the Tariff Bill in the Sem
ate Expected During the =,
Present Week.
HARRIS SAYS ABOUT SATURDAY.
The Income Tax Feature the Only
Subject Of Importance to
Be Discussed.

WASHINGTON, June Is. Senator
Harris said when the senate adjourned
Saturday that the tariff bill would pass
the senate by next Saturday. and when
Senator Aldrich, the leader of the op-
position to the hill, was asked what he
thought OF MI. Harris prediction, ex.
pressed the opinion that shonld it not
be entirely realized it would come near
/ it. II think" he said, that by next
Saturday night we shall be on tho fag
end of the bill"
Both declined to state whether there
had been any negotiations for an agree
ment as to the time for the final vote
between the leaders on the spective
sides of the chamber. It is known,
however, that the situation has been
canvassed more or less in T.
The Numerous Conferences
which have taken place between Sem
ators Cockrell, Harris and Jones on
the Democratic side, and Senators AID
rich and Allison on the Repu blican. It
also is known that they have not
agreed on time, lecause of the diff
Guilty on the part of the Republicans to
determine what time might be required
tor speeches by senators on that side.
They have, however, canvassed the
question sufficiently to feel assured that
there will be comparatively few more
long speeches.
There are, however, some Republic
ans who do not exactly agree with the
joint predictions of Senators Harris and
Aldrich, and who say that while they
do not consider that the time for the
final passage Of the bill is far distant,
they think considerable time will be re-
quired for the
Consideration of the Income Tax
and for the votes on various features of
the ILL. 1t is not probable that the in
come tax can be disposed of in less than
two or three days at the least. There
is also probability that Senator
Lodges i ,samendmentsSssfor retaliation
upon England will be revived byg the
silver Repu blicans, which would have
the effect of at least briefly reopening
the silver question in connection with
the tariff.
The only tariff schedules which have
not been disposed Of are: Silks, which
are now under consideration, papers
and sundries. These, with the free list,
the income tax and the administrative
features of the bill, complete the
measure.
