For the Early Passage OF the Democratic
Tarif BiII-HhI the Only Kicker In the
Caucus.
Special Tsleqrdm 70 ths REGISTER.
WASHINGTON, d. c., May 5.-To-
night the way TO the statute book
seems TO be clear aud straight ahead for
the tariff bill. A caucus OF the Demo
cratic Senators held this evening for
mally ratified the general agreement
among them, which was outlined in the
REGISTERS Washington dispatches last
Sunday, in an interview with Senator
Camden.
Every Democratic Senator, excepting
Hill, pledged himself at the caucus to
support all amendments TO the tariff
bill presented by the Finance Commit
tee, TO vote down all amendments offer
ed by the Republicans, and then TO
force the amended bill through to a
.peedy passage against the opposition OF
the latter,
a
At the caucus. The discussion was
thorough and good natured and Senator
Hin alone, Of the 3S Democrats in at
tendance, declined 20 join his party as
sociates in entering into the agreement
to support the amended bill and redeem
the party's pledges.
He still made the income tax the os-
tenSible ground OF his opposition, the
notifications in that feature falling 70
satisfy him. But Hill can well be
spared as there are 80 votes pledged TO
the support OF the bill, not including
those OF Allen Of Nebraska, lrby Of
South Carolina. nor Stewart Of Nevada,
al, of whom il is believed
WILL FINALLY VOTE FOR IT.
The greatest satisfaction is felt by
Democrats over the solution OF the puZ-
zling problem, which confronted them
in the tariff matter, and the utmost
confidence Is expressed that the amend
ed bill will be forced through the Sen
ate before the first OF June.
The prevailing feeling even among
the kickers is shown by an interview
which Senator Brice gave tonight in
which be expressed deep grathcation
at the settlement OF ali difficulty and
the assurance that the bill was now in
such shape that it was bound to speedily
become a law. The Senator said that
notwithstanding all reports to the con-
trary there had never been a time when
be had not stood ready 10 vote for
any tariff bill reported by the
hnsnce committee, which was in the
slightest an Improvement on the Nc
Kinley bill. While he opposed the in
come tax, ne would have voted for
biIl with that tax in 10 rather than TO
have no bill passed at all. He said he
had worked hard for the last two or
thre> weeks with the members OF the
FinaDCe Committee 10 endeavOring 10
harmonic Democratic difference and
get the bill into such shape that it
could be forced through the Senate des-
pite the utmost opposition the Republi-
cans could offer.
