7OCEIHER ON THE TARIFF.
k1cKEss WANT CONCESSIONS.

Earth Mills COnCeOeS 1heir
Power Faulkner Thinks the
Bill Will Be a Law by June
15- Relying on the Popuiist
Vote.
WAsHINGToN,M May 4.-Notwithstand-
ing the truce agreed upon between the
Democratic and Republi can senators
whereby it was arranged that hostlllties
on the tariff should cease until next
tuesday, there has not been day when
there was bolder talk and stronger pro-
testations on the respective sides of the
chamber than today. While the Repub-
lican senators have allowed the Demo.
Gratis to infer that when the amend-
ments are publicly announced and the
assurance of vote sufficient to pass
fhe bill is gwen, they will yield to the
majority, they assert privately that
they know that the necessary vote can
not be obtained, and declare that the
Democrats in the senate are gradually
approaching more serious trouble than
they have yet encountered; and,
in making this statement, they assert
that Senators Murphy and Smith are as
doubtful as is Senator Hill in the sup
port of the bill as it is to be amended.
1t is asserted that Senator Smith only
cast his vote for the German resolution
in the Democratic caucus yesterday
upon the assurance that the resolution
was not binding.
The Democrats express the greatest
confidence in the success of tue bill.
Senator Faulkner said today that the
bill would become law before the 10Th
of June, and that congress would ad-
journ by the 4th of July. Other DEM
ocratlc senators declared the tariff bill
would pass the senate before the ist OF
both Senators Murphy and Smith had
given
ASSURANCE OF SUPPORT.
1t is noticeable, however, that some OF
the Democratic senators are canvassing
the probabilities of securing the Popu-
list vote in the senate, and they say
that Senators Allen and Kyle will vote
for the bill. so that they can lose Hill.
Murphy and Smith, if necessary, and
still have the requisite forty eight
votes. The programme of the Demo-
cratic managers is to Introduce the TAR
itf amendments Monday, have them
taken up i'll the full committee on
finance Tuesday and reported to the
senate, so as to continue the debate
after that date. In the meantime. they
will proceed with their work Of clear
ing up the executive calendar. While iii
the committee rooms they will ar
range for the renewal of the battle,
which they will try to carry by cav
airy charge, if the Republicans do not
make definite terms with them.
Senator Mills. who was not at the
caucus yesterday, was asked il his alb
segce had any significance, and said it
had none.
IL did not know anything about it,
he said. land if l had been there l
would probably have talked against
concessions and then taken my medicine
like the rest of them and agreed to vote
for the bill. realize tnat we are IN the
hands of half-dozen senators who can
defeat the bill if they cannot get what
they want. Since the bill was first
made concessions have been going on,
and, instead of cutting down. as l
desired should be done, they have been
going up, up; and we cannot tell where
they will end"
He was asked why they did not ar
range the differences in some way and
get down to work.
THAT is what they are trying to do.
They hope that this matter
CAN BE ARRANGED
after a while and the discussion Of the
bill proceed. The country is impatient
at the delay. They were when the sill
yer repeal bill was pending. A great
many did not believe the repeal would
do any good, but they wanted the mat
ter settled. l know something abou t
public opinion. aud l know that the
people regard this delay as unnecessary
and are becoming very much dis
gusted."
Senator Jones has put in the entire
day in his committee room. and has had
Senator Vest with him part of the
time. They have been engaged espe.
cialIy upon the wool and cotton sched.
ules. which. it is believed. are to be still
further changed than they are under
stood to have been.
Senator Murphy has interested him
self in the schedules, and there is little
doubt that he will secure more liberal
concessions than have been granted. A
delegation of gentlemen, consisting OF
Walter Stanton and George w. Bram-
hall, of New York, and Charles A.
Owen, all of them influential Demo.
Gratis, have been at the capitol today as
representatives of the wooien manu-.
| featuring interest, and Mr.. Stanton
| said, after comforting with members oi
the committee. that he was very hope
full that the woolen schedules would be
materially changed. He said they had
asked for compound duty, aud had
shown the committee how it was i'm
possible to make an ad valorem duty
serve the purpose of affording any pro-
lection to manufacturers. Mr.. Stanton
declared that the woolen manufacturers
were asking concessions as Democrats
and they had shown the committee thai
the changes they seek are such as the
Democratic party could afford to grant
1--WE do not" he said, TASK for duty
on wool, but we do ask for sufficien
duty on WOODEN products to keep aliv.
the factories which are now in exist
ence."
