NEARING THE END.
The House Will Vote on the Tariff Bill
Tomorrow.

Tomorrow.
Washington, Jan. 3O.-The great tariff
debate in the House is nearing its end.
The vote will be taken on Thursday at 3
o'clock. Tomorrow will be given over to
the fve-minute rule. When the bill is re-
ported to the House on Thursday there
will be three hours of discussion allowed
upon it-one hour and half for each side.
. Mr.. Reed will close for the republicans,
. and Speaker Crisp and Chairman Wilson
n will close for the democrats. The efforts
which were made last week to have the
bill recommitted have been abandoned.
With the solid republican vote
this plan may have succeeded. The re-
\ publican leaders met, and after talking
. the situation over, decided that it would
not be good politics to Join a faction of the
Democratic party for the sole purpose of
giving the bill a backset They have
about decided either to refrain from
voting Or else 10 vote against the motion
| to recommit They will, however, vote
with the opposition against the passage
OF the bill, which will place them
squarey on record against the entire
measure.
