washington May 21.-The senate be-
gan the seventh week of the discussion of
the tarlt bill to-day at 10 O'Clock by TAX
ing up the metal schedule, and the pros-
pect Is now that the entire week will ba
ueNoted 10 the tariff without ATTEMPTING
aly other business than that which can
De lone In the first half-hour of the
daily sessions and possibly an occasional
prlet executive session after 6 o'clock for
the disposition of unConteStCd nomina-
ions. Senator Harris to-day reathrmed
his intention of pressing the bill forward
as rapidly as it may be possible to do
so. but he said he had no idea of an
attempt to extend the daily sessions be-
You'd . O'Clock so long as the work
should 90 on as satisfactorily as it is
going at present. He expressed the
opinion that the Republican senators who
have been opposing the bill, and appa--

decided to change their policy and to let
the bill proceed upon its passage after
giving the various items Of difference the
attention demanded by their merits, and
H'tanced the fact noticeable Oh Friday
and Saturday that there had been a de-
clded cessation of long speeches and Of
roll calls as well. This change in the
couIse of those of the opponents of the
bill who have sought to put obstacles in
the way of its progress, the Democrats
attribute to the two facts that their OPP
ponents have discovered that they mean
to pass the bill, and that the Republican
conferences of the past week have de-
yelOped a decided sentiment in the Re-
publican party OF the question of delay,
with, as they think, a majority opposed
to all dilatory tactics.
The state bank issue which has been
gathering strength at caucuses and con-
ferenCeS ever since congress assembled,
was taken up to-day in the house and
promises 10 be fought to a finish this
week. 1t will bring out a sharp contest
on party as well as economic lines, as the
state bank plank of the Democratic ma
tional platform has advanced the QueS-
ton to a place of Importance second only
- those of the tariff and silver.
