THE CHINESE TREATY,
1t Should Come Up Tomorrow Accord.
Ing to Agreement.


Ing to Agreement.
If the agreement made In the Senate two
weeks ago is observed the tariff debate
will be suspended tomorrow to permit the
Senate to consider the Chinese treaty. The
observance OF the agreement will probably
depend upon the wishes of Senator Morgan
chairman Of the committee on foreign re-
lations. who has been absent from the
Senate for several days. His leave of alb
sence will expire tomorrow, and If he should
be present tomorrow and should express a
desire to have the treaty considered his
wishes would doubtless be complied with
If, on the other hand, he should express
wish to have consideration postponed, the
democratic managers of the tariff debate
would acquiesce willingly.
The first question to be determined in
connection with the treaty is the motion of
Senator Mitchell that ii be discussed and
acted upon in open session. 1t Is the pur-
pose OF the republican Senators from the
racine coast to antagonize ratification
with all the arts at their command, and
they will require considerable time for the
expression of their views.

THAT TARIFF COMPROMISE
It Hangs Fire and Its Authors Arc in
Doubt
senator Hill the Principal Stumbling
Block-Messrs. Murphy and Smith
May Stand by Him.

The authors Of the pending compromise
IN the Senate on the tariff evidently are
not making the progress they had hoped to
accomplish. 1t appears that they are meet
ing with some unexpected difficulties in
the shape Of objections made from both
factions Of the democratic party in the
senate. and 1t now seems somewhat un-
certain when the proposed amendments
VIII be introduced. Senator Hill apparently
Is the principal stumbling block, and the
indications are that he is giving the COM
promisers serious trouble. The compromise
was effected. so far as 1t had been effected,
In his absence, but 1t was supposed from
assurances given by his friends, from the
liberal concessions made on the income tax,
from the changes from ad valorem to
specific duties, and from the general in
crease In rates which Is believed to have
been conceded by the compromisers, that
questioning, and announce his unqualified
support of the bill.
Against the Income Tax.
The Senator's attitude since he returned
from New York has not justified these ex-
pectations. and while he has said very little,
the impression has become quite general in
the Senate that he will not accept the bill,
oven as it is proposed to be amended. He
stands out for the entire abandonment Of
the income tax provision, and, SO far as can
be learned, he has not indicated any modi-
ncation OF that feature of that bill which
ne Will accept. There are also apprehensions
on the part Of democratic Senators that
senators Murphy and Smith may be led to
take the same view of the subject that Sem
ator Hill entertains. and II such should
prove to be the case the situation Is likely
to prove most embarrassing to the COM
promisers. The friends Of the income tax,
among whom is Senator Voorhees,, chair
man OF the finance committee repeat on all
occasions that the income tax in some shape
shall remain In the bill. There is also a
feeling on the part Of some of the tariff
reformers, which has not yet manifested It.
self very strongly. but which is apparently
growing, that they cannot afford to concede
too much to the conservatives, and some of
them express the opinion mot to be quoted
at this stage Of the proceeding) that 1t is
better to stand for a bill upon the lines
which they consider right and take the
chances than to concede all that is asked
and make sure Of passing a protective bill
Republicans Enjoying the Situation.
Tho republicans are informed Of the situ-
alton and are enjoying 1t more than the
democrats. They contend that 1t will be i'm
possible for the democratic Senators to
agree. and. believing this, are encouraged
to continue their fight on the present lines
against the bill, with the hope of increasing
the democratic disaffection and indefinitely
postponing the vote on the bill, and, II
possible ultimately in defeating its passage

Coxey was such a well-known character
