Pawtucket tribune. (Pawtucket, R.I.) 1890-189?, 1894-08-13

Its understood that even Senator Hill,
Notwithstanding his opposition 10 the b.'',
would bo disposed 10 accept the favorable
action OF tho house as final. and 30 permit
the bill 20 90 30 the president without rails
ing any parliamentary questions concern
ing 10. The Hin resolution has had lite day
In court, has gone 30 the calendar and
could not be taken up except upon vote
of the senate.
IL Is also suggested that without the
actual possession Of the bill motion for
indefinite postponement would Be out OF
order, and that the only process by which
tho senate could SECURE possession would
be through a motion TO reconsider its
action grantLnga a conference, and thon to
ask the house 20 return tho bill.
There would be two difficulties In the
way Of the execution of this plan. Recon
sideration could not, In view Of the lapse
Of time since the granting OF the confer
ence, be held except by unanimous consent,
and even with this received and the re-
quest made upon the house, the return OF
the bill would depend upon the courtesy OF
that body. IL would, therefore, seem that
the senate oan do nothing with reference
% the tariff at the present stage.
Adjournment In sight.
The hope Is general about the senate
the session This Is based upon the be-
lief that the tariff bill will bo disposed Of
In some way early In the week, and with
the tariff out OF the way final adjournment
can be brought about at almost any time.
None of the appropriation bills, with
the exception Of the sundry civil and the
dnG.fapgxr N M anfan
upon 10 any extent by either house, and
these two are In such an advanced stago
In conference that a day of Jealous work
would probably suffice to put them both
In shape To be sent to the president.
The Chinese treaty is the only other bust
ness that would hold Congress for a day,
and this is also In condition to be taken
up and voted on at once. When the SEN
ate adjourned on Friday, after giving the
greater part Of the day TO the treaty, there
was an understanding that the senate
should 20 into executive session on Mon
day Immediately after the reading of the
Journal, for the purpose Of taking the vote
upon che treaty 10 was also agreed that
this should be done without further de-
bate.
The order Of business after the treaty

ator Chandler's resolution for the inyesti-
cation Of the Alabama election. After
that, all Is uncertain, but there Is no pre-
arranged program for tho entire week.
Almost everything will depend upon the
action of the house on tho tariff bill, but
whatever that action may be 10 can be
counted upon as quite certain that the
two remaining appropriation bills will re-
ceiyo final attention sono time during tho
week. The conference report on the
sundry civil bill has already been largely
disposed Of, and L is not probable that
much more time viii DO spent upon it,
The conference committee on the general
deficiency bin was In session II days Sun
day, and It will be In shape for early pres
entation 30 both houses.
II, therefore, the house should decide to
aeeeDt the Senate amendments TO the tar
IN bill, the senate could he prepared TO
suspend proceedings on almost any day
after Tuesday. II the house should decide
upon the opposite course there is no saying
what might happen in the senate. The
tariif Is engrossing the attention of the
house, and It has 50 far no program what,
ever for the week
