CLEARING THE WAY.
THE SENATE GETTING READY
FOR THE TARIFF.
Pending business to be Disposed Of
speedily-senators blackburn, Lindsay
and MCPHERSON Representing whisky
Mon Before the Committee.

WAsH1NGroN, Feb. u. There will
BIO an effort on the part of tile senate
during the present week to clear up
the calendar as far us possible prior
to taking up the tariff bill. which,
when it is reported to the senate, is
expected to exclude the consideration
of most other subjects, The bill to
compel railroads operating roads in
the territories over rights OF way
granted by the government to estab-
fish stations at all town sites estab-
lished by the Interior department, is
the unfinished business on the cal
endar, and when it is disposed
OF the bill to provide for
additional accommodations for the
government printing Office will be
taken up and acted on as soon as
practicable. There will also be a
general effort on the part of senators
to have private bills or bills of minor
general Importance taken from the
calendar and passed. 1t is believed
that the committee on Judiciary will
dispose OF the Peckham nomination
to-day and if so, in ALI probability
there will be at least one day during
the week devoted to executive session
for the purpose OF passing upon this
nomination.

during the discussion OF the colonial
estimates, Prince Arenberg demanded
the removal and punishment of Gov.
Leist of the Cameroons colony. The
prince said he had disgraced the
German name in the Cameroons.
DR.. Kaiser, director of the colonial
department, said if the accounts re-
ceived in Berlin from the Cameroons
charging the governor with Hogging
woman were true Gov. Leists would
be severely punished. DIR. Kaiser
added that a commission had al
ready been dispatched to the Gamer
rooms in order to inquire into the
affair.

WASHINGTON, Feb. -. 49, Senators
Blackburn and Lindsay of kentucky
were before the senate finance com
mittce Saturday in the interest of the
whisky distillers of Kentucky. Their
time was devoted almost exclusively
to the extension OF the bonded period,
which the distillers say, in the pres
ent depressed condition of business,
is absolutely necessary to them.
They represent that there are now
5,000,0J0 gallons of whisky in
bonded warehouses which must be
taken out under the Wilson bill within
the next three years, much OF it with
in the next year or two. This, even
without tho increase of the tax. would
be hardship, and with tho increase
the burden would that much heavier
Senator Voorhees,, chairman of the
finance committee, accompanied the
Kentucky senators on their visit to
the Subcommittee, fact which is
favorable to the extension of the
bonded period. He had previously
pben in conference WIN some vi 'tn,
representatives of the distilling in
terests. Senator MCPHERSON was alsC
closeted with the subcommittee for ;
considerable length of time during
the day.

FREQ woolen Nranufa ctnres.

WASHINGTON, Feb 10. Senator
Pettigrew of South Dakota says he is
going to test the senate upon one
feature of the tariff bill which he be-
lieves will carry. He intends first to
move for duty on wool, and If this is
not carried he will offer an amendment
placing wool and woolen manufactures
on the FREQ list He thinks
the latter proposition will carry be-
cause it will probably receive the
support of all the northwestern men
in the Republican Iarty, as well as
all the Populists and many Democrats,
enough at least to carry the amend
ment through. The South Dakota
senator said he would like to see pro-
lection for wool, barley, flax and some
other agricultural products OF his
state

Silver all Day Long.

WASHINGTON. Feb. 10.-The house
was busy all day yesterday discussing
BANDS silver bill, which proposes to
coin all the silver bullion in the treas
ury There are some of the silver
mon who are satisfied with the bill as
it stands, while there are great
many who say that it is a
bill so bad that it ought not
to become Il law. Bland does not
seem to be at all disposed to permit
much tinkering with it, and most
heatedly stated yesterday on the
floor that he does not want it modified.
He wanted all the bullion coined, and
was not of that character of silver
men who wanted to stop less than
half way in the work, that is, in the
coinage of the seigniorage, However
he may protest, before the bill comes
to a vote there will be dozeus of pro-
posed amendments and substitutes
flying in the air, and from appear
ances, if some of them are not adopt
ed, the Bland bill will die on the way
