TIRESOME TARIFF TALK.

Theme All This Week.

washington, May 13.-Now that the
Senate has got into the midst of the dis
orssion of the tariff bill proper, and is
Ling up paragraph after paragraph, it
;s almost impossible to forecast what the
.,,,rramme for the week is likely to be,
.,rcb less tell what results will have
baer accomplished before the week ends.
,ro.morrow begins the seventh week of
badebate, which was opened by MIR
voorbees April 2, and yet the week just
or,sed saw the tariff bill as the demo-
crafts say they expect to pass it, first
laid upon the desks of the senators. The
debate throughout the week related to
the chemical schedule and that subject
will be continued this week, the demo-
Gratis expecting to complete the
oorsideration of the seventy
Ave paragraphs, while the republi-
cans saw the rest of the month at
least will be necessary for this work. In
asmuch as but seven paragraphs were
acted upon last week, if the republicans
continue to exhibit their present zeal in
aobate. it would seem that their estimate
oftbetine to be consumed is more nearly
correct.
THIS WEEKS DEBATE.
The debate throughout the week will
he mon this schedule, and but one set
sueech is booked, that of Mr. Aldrich,
late in the week, when he will speak upon
fhe rates of duty found in the bill on arti-
cIas recognized as luXuries and the reduc-
lions made on this line of imports. The
h1r,len Of the pending discussion will
nrobablv fall upon the shoulders of
Nessrs. Allison, Aldrich, Chandler and
Hale although Mr.. Quay has expressed a
desire to conclude his speech begun some
weeks ago.
The republican caucus of tomorrow
nirht might have some bearing on the
debate. but Just how far remains still to
be seen Members Of that party deny
that il has anything to do with the tariff
bill, but say it relates solely to vacancies
in committees occasioned by the death of
Mr.. Stockbridge, of Michigan.
1t is not likely that the arrangement
whereby the Senate meets at II o'clock
each morning and sits until 6, devoting
six Of the seven hours to the tariff, will
be set aside this week, although as soon
as he sees he has the votes with which to
do it, Mr. Harris will move for 10
o'clock session.
IN THE HOUSE.
Some little variation from the pro-
Cramme shat the House has followed so
strictly for the past month or two is pos
sible in the proceedings of the coming
week, possible only, for if the managers
of the House (the committee on rules and
the chairman of the committee on appro-
priations) have sufficientinhuence among
the membership to secure adherence TO
the programme which they outlined, ap-
preparation bills and minor measures
that meet with no objection viii consume
most of the week. The possibility of a
Change lies in two propositions that are
awaiting consideration by the House, the
promoters of which desire to secure ac-
ton as speedily as possible. One of
these is the Brawley bill, suspending the
operation Of the 10 per cent. tax on
clearing house certificates and other
forms Of Indebtedness issued by financial
institutions during the money strlngency
last summer, which Mr.. Springer has
given notice he will report from the COM
mlttee on banking and currency on
Wednesday next and ask consideration at
that time. The report is privileged
and can be made as the chairman has
given notice he will, but the question of
consideration will be raised in favor of a
general appropriation bill-the naval bill,
Il II has not then been disposed of, or the
indian bill, If it shall be the first on the
calendar at that time.
CONDITION OF THE INDUSTRIES.
The other matter is the Joint resolution
reported Friday, from the committee on
labor, providing for an investigation into
the Industrial condition of the country,
us causes, and what legislation is neces-
SSdTy TO provide employment for the idle
a00ring men,
"A similar resolution, introduced by Mr..
IAert who is the successor to Mai. Nc
hinley, from the Massillon, Ohio. dis
uIct IS now pending before the committee
Va rules, That body has not yet seen fit
" " report an order FORTS discussion by the
nouSe, and Mr. McGann, chairman
me committee on labor, will
PROBABLY be no more successful in secur-
ing an order of that kind than has been
Mr' lkert, so that he will have to depend
upon unanimous consent of the House to
sahe up his Joint resolution if he desires
SO!IUn upon 1t at the present time This,
~ ~ hardly necessary to say, he will have
sumo dlfhculty in securing.
DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA DAY.
Monday is district day under the rules,
ana Mr. Heard, the chairman of the com
TTlIlee on the affairs of the District of
G(oiuinola will ask the House to spend
