WAsHlNGrON, June Tho sugar sched-
fla viii again this week DE the central
Joint around which thc proceedings in
the senate VIII rlvulve. Among numerous
senator's who were asked for their opinion
as to when the debate ON this schedule
would cease not one would attempt to fix
o definite Time The discussion has al
ready proceeded for three days, which was
the utmost time that Democratic senator's
would admit before the debate was bo
gun, would ho necessary or allowed to IT,
Some think 10 viii ho possible 90 reach "a
verdict tomorrow while others assert that
there are contingencies which may post
pone the disposition of the schedule until
the lattcr part of the week.
Among other lines of policy which have
been canvussod among the opponents Of
the bin Is shat Of allowing the sugar
schedule 60 Dc accepted as amended hy the
committee on finance without taking any
vote on the schedule I'm committee OF tho
whole the object being that the opponents
of Che bin shall not Doe forced 10 show their
hands at this time, and especially that
they may refrain from exhibiting their
supposed strength among Democratic and
populist senators.
Senator Harris adhcrcs to his dctormina-
tion To ask the senate to prolong its daily
sessions into the evening, beginning with
today Some Of the Republican sonntors
have taken his notice TO mean that no will
ask the sonnte TO sit today until the sugar
schedule shall be disposed of, but convcr-
sation with him and with other Democratic
senators indicates that hispurposo is hard
ly so definite, but that the intention IS To-
prcs- as near Co the goal as it may b, pos.
siblc to do They say that the speeches of
Che past few duys indicate that the sugar
subject Is ono prolific Of talk, and that
they wnnt Co give opportunity to dispose
of as much of the talk as possible within
reasonable hours.
We want, 'said Senator Jones' "to SEQ
that the scnate docs "a good day g work
each day, and II IL should be apparent
that there has been no effort TO secure de-
10y FOR delays sake we should not proba-
bly, ask for very extended hours, but II tho
proceedings should indicate shat the long
speeches arc to continue we should prob
ably ask tho senate TO sit wcll into the
night
The Republicans win probably resist
the attompt TO extend tho sessions beyond
g o'clock To- tho extent of ut least demand
ing that o quorum be- lnninmincS and
somo of thom VIII decline to assist in
making a quorum. Tho Democrats appro-
ciato this difficulty and will make an
effort 20 havo as nearly quorum Of Dom
ocrats as possible on hand TO moot this
emergency. They have the pledges of
moro than go senators, including most Of
the Populists and some Republicans that
they viii remain 20 aid In making quo
rum as long as may be required
senator Harris said that whom the night
sessions woro once begun they would ba
continued until the bin should bo finally
disposed of. Meantime they win main
tain their efforts to get the Republicans to
agree 90 tly "a day for tho final vote
Outlook In tho House.
The outlook for the week ia the house
OF representatives is So much In doubt that
a Democratic caucus may ho necessary TO
ngrce on % plan OF action. Tho state bank
question has been debated until the Lead
crs are anxious for n vote. But the de-
hato has shown the state bank men that
thcy arc liablc TO be defeated by inability
TO agree on any one of the many plans dis
cussed. AS che state bank principle was
Incorporated i'm the Democratic national
platform, the leaders are lonth TO sec the
bin defeated, SO that caucus today or to-
morrow may be called ION the purpose OF
formulating party measure That win
command united support 10 ls probable
that the final vote on the hll viii De takcn
carly in the week unless the whole qucs-
tion is allowed TO 60 over until q caucus
committee can frame % satisfactory bin.
