EyD OF THE TARIFF FIGHT
Taxes 10 Be Collected Under the New
Law On July 1.

vlibu steriug Against the newt
ab1e-senator Quay Expected to In
4io+ an Additional Torrent Of Words
n, His Suffering Colleagues.
washington, May 2O.-"The end is in
,;rbt =, remarked Senator Jones of the
4r,nce committee yesterday, 'and we ex-
Mort 10 begin gathering taxes under the
wilson bill on the first day of July, which
to,ins the new fiscal year" This state
-,ont was indorsed by Senator Harris
The fact that beginning tomorrow, the
senate will meet at 10 O'Clock and the be-
riof that the republicans have de-
cded not TO interpose unrea-
.onable opposition or prolonged
dsbate on the bill, led the managers of
the bill to take a cheerful view of the
.;ruation. Senators Harris, Voorhees,,
and Jones of Arkansas, assert that they
have the forty-three votes necessary to
mass the bill The republican leaders
admit the impossibility of consolidating
their votes into cohesive whole, sub
tact to the call of the parlia-
rrontarv managers. The metal schedule
has now been reached and but two more
s,bedules remain to be acted upon before
the sugar schedule is called up. The
dem6crats assert that they will finish
the metal and wood schedules this week,
but the republicans say the debate on iron
are and the manufactures of iron will be
nrotracted and that the metal schedule
cannot possibly be disposed of this week
leaving The free lumber debate to follow q
week later.
QUAY TO BE HEARD FROM.
No set speeches have been arranged on
tbetarifI but it is probable Senator Quay
will come to the front again, as his state
is especially interested in the metal
schedule Mr.. Quay says his statistics
and the iue1haustible data he has at COM
maDd. bear directly upon this question,
and now that the iron schedule has been
reached it is proper that he should COM
nIete his remarks If Mr.. Quay persists
in taking up the thread of his discourse
where he doopped it on May and yielded
toother senators, he may precipitate
Tight on the part OF Mr.. Harris for
further pr0longation of the hours of de-
bate at the evening end of the session.
Mr. Quay's speech, so far as it has been
delivered-in installments April H.
rs and 20 and May 3, and s.
would make over 150 closely-printed
newspaper columns. Mr.. Quay may
possibly consume as much more space
and printers ink, for, when he was con
graduated the other day by Senator
Blackburn, on finally reaching a stopping
place Mr.. Quay remarked, sIyly, that he
had only stopped to ''load up"
With seven and half hours day for
the consideration Of the pending bill dur
ing the coming week it would seem that
some headway ought TO be made. Mr.
Morgan is anxious TO have the Chinese
treaty disposed Of, and it may happen
that Mr. Harris viii grant him an after
noon for this purpose.
IN THE HOUSE.
Some general legislation is in sight in
the House This week. The managers
harecome TO the conclusion that it will
be safe now to internit, for a brief Pc
r0d, their efforts to. send appropriation
bills 10 the Senate, inasmuch as that
body is apparently committed to the tariff
bill for month or more to the exclusion
Of all other business. Two or three DAYS
will be required, it is believed, for the
consideration of the legislative,
executive and judicial appropriation bill
which will be taken up tomorrow under
the five minute rule. Although general
debate on the measure has been ex-
hausted, there are several features which
VIII be criticised quite extensively in
short speeches. Among these are the
provisions of the bill intended to reor-
gani3e the accounting branch of the trea-
Sury department, abolishing the Offices of
tle second controller and deputy
second controller, and reducing the
clerical force. Another point of at
tack will be the omission
from the bill of the force of clerks in the
internal revenue division, engaged in the
settlement of sugar bounty claims. These
nave not been provided for on the theory
that Tue bounty is to be abolished, but
some republicans contend that 1t would
