FIGHTING or THE TARIFF BILL FORCED
Bank Tax Debate Still on in the House,
And no End Yet SP' 'ad-Trojan Horse
EmbarrassinS:y Springs up
in the Senate End


WAsHINGTON. June 5.-The end of the
J debate on the bill to repeal the law tax
! ing the issues of state and other banks
| and associations is not vet in sight in
| the house. although an effort will be
made today to draw it to a close. 1t
has been the desire of Speaker Crisp
and other democratic leaders. especial
! " those interested in the management
of the appropriation bills, that today
should see the close of the general de-
! bate on the bill and there has been the
work of bringing in an order from the
| committee on rule to that effect. But
that has been opposed by the republi-
! Gems. who want the debate to exhaust
| itself, and by number of democrats,
! of whom NesSrs. Rayner of MARYLAND
! and Harter of On,D are types The
| former opposes repeal and the latter
| favors it, but both agree that discus
| sion should proceed Two weeks at least,
as in their opinion that period of time
| could be prOfitably spent in cOnSidera-
ton of the subject. That the time
would be occupied is proved by the
| length of the list of those who have
| asked Chairman Richardson for time
in which to speak. 1t is probable that
| the order referred to will be reported
| by the committee On rules during the
| day to test the question. If it shall be
| agreed to, it will be taken to mean that
the repeal bill Will pass: if it shall
| be defeated, the fac of the bill be to
| be ''talled to death" In that event
| the executioners may consent to re-
| duce the limit within which to perform
| that duty and end tie matter within a
| day or two.
When the state bank tax bill shall
have been disposed Of the Indian APP
| preparation bill will be taken up An
| unusually long discussion of its pro-
visions is anticipated. because of the
| many radical changes Mr. Holman has
| introduced into the bill. Next in or
der, Of general legislation, Will be the
general deficiency bill for the year
| ending the 3Oth instant, which will
have been reported to the house in the
meantime
The Week in the Senate.
Two months of tariff debate have
passed in the senate and the end is not
yet within telescope vision. Rcpubli,
can senator's stated ten days ago that
the close of this present week would
find the sugar schedule still undisposed
Of. The course of events in cOnnec-
tiOn with the facts elected by the sugar
trust investigation Of the special com
mittee as far as that investigation has
proceeded. and the facts which it is eN-
pected will be deveirped in the further
sessions of that committee seem to
make it possible th"t this threat may
be verified. Some of the leaders on the
republican side insist that the vote can
not with decency be taken on the su-
gar schedule until the investigat ton into
the allegations of improper influence
to secure the adoption of that schedule
have been disposed Of. Several of the
pOpulist senators and also Mr. Hill are
on record as favOring this view The
solid republican vote and the pOpuliSts
or most of them. it is expected. will
rally to the support of Mr.. MandersOns
proposed amendment to retain the
bounty on domestic sugar instead of
paying an increased tax on the impOr-
ted product. Mr.. Harris, the chosen
captain Of the democratic cohorts on
the tariff question has given fair notice
Of an intention to force the fighting
1t is understood that the republicans
will not oppose an extension of the
session to something like o'clock. but
various threats are made as to what
course may Oe pursued if Mr.. Harris |
tempts to urge what the republicans
call Extraordinary measures" The |
tactics pursued by the republicans last |
week. We're successful in drawing out |
: number of democratic senators and |
il is understood the same policy will be |
continued this week, with the hope |
that the democrats will be compelled |
to participate in the debate.
The fifteenth OF June. at which |
time the democrats have said the bill |
would pass, is not vSry d.stant bat there |
seems little chance Of final vote by |
that time. 1t can be said with absolute |
certainty that the sGrar schedule will |
not be dropped until the repu blicans |
have had an opportunity to discuss the |
testimony taken by the investigation |
committee.
There is another matter that will |
tend to prolong this debate about which |
nothing has heretofore been said but |
which will probably come to the front
very soon.
An amendment to the bill will be in
troduced probably this week winch
provides for the repeal of ten per cent
bank tax This may prove an embar-
RAISING "Trojan horse in the camp.
1t is argued that such an amendment
would be quite as partinent to a tariff
bill as the income tax sections especial
ly as the repeal Of this tax was one Of
the democratic platform pledges.
