THE WEEE IN CONGRESS-
Uncertainty on the Tariff Still
Prevailing,
STILL UNABLE TO COMPROMISE

A Series of lnterrsting and Acrimonious
Speeches Expected During the Week.
Senator Hin Favors the Sugar Amend
ment of senator vnas.
WASHINGTON, July 23.-All 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 the
result of the debate.
All efforts to compromise the difference
on the tariff and to allay the feeling en-
gendered by the presidents letter TO Mr..
Wilson have so far been unavailing, and
the coming sessions will probably develop
series of very interesting speeches, which
bid fair to be characterized by words both
plain and pointed Democratic senators
generally agree that there is now no pros,
pct of reaching an understanding in the
party u It'll the temper of the senate shall
be stlll further exploited before the coun-
try.
If there should be no change Of pro-
gram Senator HIPS motion to recede
from the amendment to make coal and
iron ore dutiable at forty cents a ton and
put both on the free list will be first de
cided, after which Senator Villas motion
to amend the sugar schedule by striking
out the one-eighth of a cent ditferential
on refined sugar will be subject TO dis
cussion. 1t is on this proposition that the
most interesting part of the debate is eX-
pected to occur Senator Hill expects to
gain few votes over the number secured
for his motion when offered by himself
before the bill went to conference, but he
does not think it will show any great
strength, and comedies that interest Is alb
sorbed by the Villas motion, which he ia
vors as strongly rs he does his own.
The duration of the discussion upon the
Villas amendment will probably depend
| 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, and
| with Senator Harris in the chair the ces-
sation might be very sudden at any time
| after the point had been made There is
a general feeling, however, that while the
| point is sure to be raised at some time it
| will not be presented at the beginning of
the debate. 1t is a generally recognized
