TARIFF BILL PROSPECTS
Predictions That the End Will be
Reached This Week.
INCOME TAX WILL RAISE A BREEZE

Aside from This Feature. However. It Is
Believed That There VIII be Few Fur
ther Protests Against the Measure-The
Anticipation niii In the House.
WASHINGTON, June Ex-senator Harris
said when the senate adjourned on Satur !
day that the tariff bill would pass the
senate by next Saturday, and when Sen.
ator Aldrich, the leader of the opposition
to the bill, was asked what he thought OF ,
Mr.. Harris prediction expressed the opin.
Jon that should il not be entirely realized
1t would come near IT. ~ thipk," he said, (
"thet by next Saturday night we shall be
on the fag end Of the bill"
Both declined to state whether there
had been any negotiations for an agree
ment as to the time for The final vote be-
tween the leaders on the respective sides
of the chamber. 1t is known, however,
that this question has been canvassed
more or less in the numerous conferences
which have taken place between Senators.
Cockrell, Harris and Jones, on the Demo
cratic side, and Senators Aldrich and Al
lison, on the Repu blican side. II is also.
I known that they have not agreed deit-I
nitely upon time because of the diff
Guilty on the part of the Republicans OF
determining what time might be required
for speeches by senators on that side.i
! They have, however, canvassed the ques-l
ton sufficiently to feel assured that there
will be comparatively few more long
speeches.
There are, however, some Republican
senators who do not exactly agree with
the joint prediction Of Senators Harris and
/ Aldrich, and who say that while they do
not consider that the time for the tinai
passage of the bill is not far distant, they
+, think considerable time will be required
+ for the consideration of the income tax
and for The votes on various features OF
6 the bill, rs well as probably some speeches
when the bill shall be reported from the
j. committee OF the whole 1t is not consid-
l. cred probable that the income tax can be
:, disposed of within less than two or three
days at the outside. There is also prob
. ability thnt Senator Lodges amendment

It yer Republicans, which would have the
effect Of at least briefly reppenng the sill
q yer question in connection with the tariff
IL The only tariff schedules which hayt
L, not been disposed of are silks, papers an,
~ sundrie4 These, with the free list, tn
% income Tux and the administrative fea
lures of the bill complete the measure
81 There is very little prospect of man,
u speeches on silks or papers, but there ar

culated to develop debate. Tho Voc

Y as it was when the subject was taken u

Ii still seems strongly probable that tn
