WASHINGTON, Jun0 lit Is SAPoCDCO
in both sides of the senate chamber
reached during the present week in the
consideration of the tariff bill There
is tacit agreement among the repub-
lcans and democratic leaders that the
debate shall be continued under the
five minute rule on the wines, cotton
manufactures and fax schedule.
Senator Aldrich, as the representa-
tive of the republican side of
the chamber, yesterday expressed the
opinion that these schedules would be
disposed of with very little delay. He
said the understanding for five minute
speeches would not be continued when
the wooden schedule should be reached,
and he expressed the opinion that three
or four days debate would be neces-
sary before the wool and wooden
schedule is acted upon. Some of the
democratic leaders think the schedule
may disposed of in two days. This
schedule will develop one of the most
important debates connected with the
bill
Next to the duty on sugar, free wool
has attracted more attention than any
other item in the bill and there can be
no doubt that many republican sena-
tors will make speeches vigorously as
sailing the democratic position. The
democrats, while not expecting or hop
ing to secure consideration of this
schedule under the five minute rule,
are nevertheless hopeful they can make
an arrangement for the fixing of a def
mite number of days for the debate. It
is understood this is one end they have
in view in arranging the preliminaries
for night sessions, as they have been
doing in securing pledges of democratic
senators to remain until the steering
committee shall consent to adjourn
ment each day.
This is to be an elastic arrangement,
and late night sessions will be resorted
to only in case of evident determina-
ton of the republican senators to delay
vote. This is not expected on any of
the items which precede the wooden
schedule, nor do many senator's think
it will be undertaken in that connec-
ton. The democratic leaders, how
ever, regard it best to be prepared to
meet the emergency if it should pre-
sent itself. They desire also, if it should
prove there are to be an unexpected
ndmber of long speeches on the wooden
schedule, to work them off as rapidly

for that purpose.
The Indian question in its various
ramifications on schools, agents, ra-
tions, supply depots, will continue to
occupy the attention of the house the
early days of the coming week. Judge
Holman, in charge of the bill, said yes
terday he expected to pass the bill by
Tuesday night if he was obliged to
surrender on Monday to District of
Columbia legislation, in which case he
expects a vote Wednesday.
After that, there are a number of i'm
portant bills struggling for the prior
ity. The general deficiency bill will
be reported to the house on Tuesday,
and Chairman Sayers, of the appropria-
ton committee, will urge its immediate
consideration in order to clear the cal
endar of appropriation bills. Repre-
sentative Savers will be in charge of
the deficiency bill Notwithstanding
the fact Representative Breckenridge.
of Kentucky, is chairman of the de-
fciency subcommittee.
1t is expected Representative Hatch
will try to have the anti-options bill
follow the Indian bill. Representa-
tive Cooper, of Indiana, also expects
to have day set apart soon for his
bill authorizing the taxation of green
backs.
Representative Livingston of Georgia
is pressing the bill for government aid
to the cotton exposition in Atlanta. Mr..
Culberson, of the Judiciary committee,
also wants early recognition for sew
era1 important bills affecting federal
] court procedure and the territorial
| statehood bills are being vigorously
! pressed to the front.
No exact order of priority for these
bills has yet been made, but they are
the measures which are to receive
| earliest attention.
