FOR FIVE MORE DAYS

Before Friday.
LITTLE USEASINESS IS TO IT'S FATE.

House by The Fourth OF July-Less

signs of the times fail this week will
set the tariff bill out of the senate and
on it's way to the house where the
struggle is so be renewed pending the
final contest in conference. The tight
is now for hours rather than days. The
democratic managers are making every
possible effort to get the bill out OF the
senate by Tuesday night, and failing to
accomplish that end they threaten to
remain in session on the fourth Of July.
In some sanguine minds there is still
a lingering hope hat the bill may be
defeated. Senator Hill, it is said, talks
this way in private but does not so ex-
press himself publicly. He is quoted
by those who have discussed the situa-
ton with him as saying that the bill is
dead, and it is believed h a rather than
see the income tax put upon the coun-
try, Mr., Hill would not be at all dis"
turbed should the tariff measure with
that forming a part of it, be defeated
on the final vote,
Uneasiness Felt Yet.
There is a certain lement thai cause
the majority some feeling Of uneas1'
ness over the outcome, among them
the attitude of Senator Blanchard n
the assertions repeatedly made during
the past week by the populists that be-
cause Of their votes heretofore cast IN
committee of the whole in favor OF the
bill it must not be assumed that they
will necessarily vote for it under all
conditions on final passage. Som1 OF
these rumors go SO far as to say that
Mr.. Allen last week notified Mr.. Jones
through Mr.. Berry, that he could not
vote for the bill. The detection of one
vote would put the party in charge OF
the bill in a predicament that would
cause serious trouble and anything
tending to weakness in the ranks OF
any of the forces pledged to the sup
port of the bill at once becomes a very
serious matter.
The Vote In Five Days.
Nevertheless. when the whole sltua-
ton is c~anvassed, there appears to be
very little ground for doubt that the
bill was to pass the enate substantial
lv as amended. It does not seem GER
tain thatthe bill can be pushed through
the senate in the two days set apart for
that task bv Mr.. Harris, for Mr.. Hill,
who has relaxed none Of his energy IN
his fight on the income tax will insist
upon discussing that. subject again,
possibly, however, not TO any great
length. The republicans also have a
mum Der of matters to which they will
again cal the attention Of the country.
Between all these things and the un-
expected which is so likely to arise in

is very likely hat four or, possibly.
five days may be consumed in further
consideration of the bill instead of the
two designated by the democratic
managers.
Other Matters in Their Turn.
In anticipation of the disposition of
the tariff bill this week, the committee
appropriations has got it's matters
we'll in hand. Appropriation bills will
not detain the senate long after the
tariff is out of the way, for If it has it
in mind SO to do the senate can easily
pass two of them in a day, The only
bill likely to cause any extended de-
bate is the pension bill, which will
form together work for a lumber of
speeches. There will also be some criti-
cissn on suspension of appropriations
building the new navy The com
up to this time has reported to
the senate the Notifications, pension,
military, p%ostoflce, diplomatic, and
military academy bill. The %appropria-
ton for the agricultural department
will be reported today, and the COM

this there is still in the hands of the
the District of Columbia,
sundry civil, river and harbor legisla-
tive. Indian. and deficiency bills. The
pension and army bills will probably
be the first called up in the senate.
Although nothing has been said on
the subject it is likely that when the
tariff bill passes the senate will be-
it's sittings at noon instead of 10
as at present. That matter
will be in the hands of Mr.. Cockrell,
and as there will be no partisan opposi-
ton to appropriation bills better pro-
gress will be made and the need of pro-
Longed sessions will not be manifest.
In the House.
The house of representatives will De
n a waiting hrmOr until the senate
tariff bill is laid before it. Little in
terest will attach to its proceeding I'M
til Chairman Wilson and his associates
the ways and means committee are
put in possession of their changeling
and asked to decide the question what
they are going to do about it. Then
the fun will wax fast and furious.
A number of committees nave asked
for days for consideration of bills on
their calendar but the committee on
rules will not decide whether any spe-
cial orders shall be made for the week
until today. There is a disposition on
the part Of the committee to keep the
deck clear for the tariff bill.
The Tax on Green Backs.
One Of the measures which may come
up is the cooper bill to tax green backs.
This is a privileged measure. 1t is I'M
dor the control Of Mr. Hall 0f Missouri
