WASHINGTON, D. c., June 16.-"I
think that every vestigs Of doubt that
the tariff bill will pass the Senate next
week has vanished, said Senator Cam
don this afternoon, after the woolen
schedule had been adopted "In fact
the Republicans tacitly admit that they
cannot keep no the fight longer, and
will be compelled to allow a vote on the
bill to be taken. They are exhausted,
and they know the country demands
action and will not patiently tolerate
much longer the delay which they have
caused on the BILL"
As TO the fate Of the bill in the con-
ference committee, Senator Camden
gave it as his opinion that there would
- be not few changes in the schedules
in the direction OF lower duties. The
sugar schedule, be believed, would be
put in shape more satisfactory 10 Demo-
Gratis, and other concessions would be
made to the House, getting the bill
finally into a condition that would rem
der IL acceptable to the great mass Of
THE PARTY AMI TO THE COUNTRY.
The fight over the wooden schedule
ended TO day and that schedule, as we'll
as the following schedule, "silk ard silk
goods" was disposed of in quick time.
The Republicans had been fighting for
certain notifications Of the wOOlen
schedule and were partially successful.
They succeeded in having the rates on
the wooden and worsted yarns valued az
over forty cents per pound Increased
from 35 TO 40 per cent. ad valorem and
the dividing line on women's and chill
dren's dress goods decreased from 81 TO
so cents. duty OF 40 per cent. being
imposed on goods valued as less than
fifty cents per pound and 50 per cent.
where OF greater value.
This latter modification is the one it
is understood that
