New Tariff Bill.
THE WOOL AND WOODEN SCHEDULE
II IL Expected That This wuI be Reached
Before che End OF the Week. and That
II VIII Preoipitase Three or Four D.ys'
Discussion.

WARRINGTON, June lit 10 expected
on both sides of the senate chamber that
the WOODEN schedule will be reached dur
Ing the present week in the consideration
Of the tariff bill. There Is q tacit agree
ment among the Republican and Demo
cratic leaders that the debate shall be con-
tinued under the five minute rule on the
wine. cotton manufactures and fax sched-
ule. Senator Aldrich. as the representa-
tive of the Repu blican side OF the cham
Der. expressed the opinion that these
schedules would be disposed OF with very
little delay. He said that the under
standing for five minute speeches would
not be continued when the wooden sched-
ule should be reached, and he expressed
the opinion that three or four days debate
would be necessary before the wool and
wooden schedule is acted on. Some of the
Democratic leaders think the schedule
may be 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
senators will make speeches vigorously as
sailing the Democratic position.
J The Democrats. while not expecting OF
hoping to secure consideration of this
schedule under the five minute rule, are
nevertheless hopeful that they ean make
an arrangement for the fixing Of def
mite number of days for the debate 1t 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 senator's
to remain until the steering COMMITTEES
shall consent to an adjournment each day.
This Is to be an elastic arrangement,
and late night sessions will be resorted to
only in case of evident determination on
the part of Republican senators to delay a
vote. This is not expected on any of the
items which precede the wooden schedule
nor do many senators think It will be un'
ldertnken in that connection. The Dem
ocratio leaders, however, regard 1t as best
to be prepared to meet the emergency II
1T should present itself They desire also
~ it should prove that there are to be an
unsupported number OF long speeches on
the wooden schedule. to work them off as
rapidly as possible by resort TO night SEES
sions for that purpose.

to impose any unnecessary hardships. but
