the Free Wool Clause of the Tariff Bill
 With Much Vigor-Five Minute Rule Still
 Prevails-work For the House.
 WASHINGTON, June 11.-It is expected on both sides of the senate chamber that tho woolcn schedule will be reached dur ing the present week in the consideration of the tariff bill. That there is a tacit agreement among the Republican and Democratic leaders that the debate shall be continued under the five minute rule on the wines cotton manufactures and flax schedules, Senator Aldrich, as the rep resentative of the Republican side of the chamber, expressed the opinion that these schedules would be disposed of with very little delay.
 He said that the understanding for five minute speeches would not be continued when the wOolen schedule should be reach ed, and he expressed the opinion that three or four days debate would be necessary before the wool and woolen schedules are acted upon. Some of the Democratic lead CTS think the schedule may be disposed of in two days
 Will Fight Free Wool.
 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 assail ing the Democratic position.
 The Democrats, while not expecting or hoping to secure a consideration of this schedule under the five minute rule, are nevertheless hopeful that they can make an arrangement for the fixing of a definite number of days for the debate. It is un- derstood this is one end they have in view and are arranging the prclimnaries for night sessions as they have cen doing in securing pledges of Democratic senators to remain until the steering committee shall consent to adjournment each day.
 This is to be an elastic arrangement, and late night sessions will be rcsorted to only in case of evident determination on the part of Republican senators to delay vote. This is not expected on any of tho items which prccCdc the wooden schedule, nor do many of the senators think it will be undertaken in that connection. The Democratic leaders, however, regard it best to he prepared to meet the emergency if it shouid present itself.
 They dr~iic .ii.o, if it should prove that there are |" in au unexpected number of long sppCch, n the woolcn schedule, to work them uIf ;t~ rapidly as possible by reSortiug to night sessions for that pur- pose.
 ''Wc Go not" said Senator Harris, want to impose any unnecessary hard ships, but we want to make an impreS- sion on the bill during the week.
 The House Programme.
 The Indian question, in its various ram ifications on schools, agents, supply depots, will continue to occupy the attention of tho house the oarly days of the coming week. Judge Holman, in charge of the bill, said that he expected to pass the bill by Tuesday night if he was not obliged to surrender today to District of Columbia legislation, in which case he expects a vote "Wednesday. After that there are number of important bills struggling for priority. The general deficiency bill will be reported to the house on Tuesday, and Chairman Saycrs of the appropriations committee will urge it's immediate consid- cration in order to clear the calendar of appropriation bills. Representative Say CTS will be in charge of the deficiency bill, notwithstanding the fact that Representa- tive Brcckinridge of Kentucky is chair man of the deficiency subcommittee.
 It is expected that Mir, Hatch will try to have the antioption bill follow the Indian bill. Representative Cooper of Indiana also expects to have a day set apart soon for his bill authorizing the taxation of prcenbackS.
