WASHINGTON. April so.-The course
which the tariff debate may take 10 the
Senate this week will depend entirety
upon developments from day 20 day.
The agreement for the Limitation Of de-
bate on the tariff to certain hours each
day has expired and the Republicans
have shown no disposition to renew IT,
The Democrats have been successful In
the advance OF the hour for the meet
ing from l2 TO IL o'clock, but they only
got the bill up each day, at the disposal
OF the routine morning business, by IN
ave and nay vote, and are making
progress by elbowing themselves along.
They have not yet decided whether they
will attempt to extend the debate until
later hour each day than has Jet besu
observed.
Their programme In this respect viii
depend upon the progress that may be
made with the compromise now In hand.
The feeling is general on the Demo
cratic side that II they get bill which
commands the support OF the entire
Democratic side OF the chamber, the
Republican
ANrAGoSIsM WILL wEAKEE,
that the opposition will be content 20
make earnest protest, but without any
e fort to proloug the final vote beyond
the time necessary TO discuss the vari-
Gus schedules in n business-like man
ner, and that night sessions may not DO

Senator Harris said to-day that he
thought II the Republicans once became
convinced that there was no prospect OF
opposition to the bill among Democrats,
they would yield gracefully TO the In
evitable and allow the bill 10 pass after
expressing their reasons for their an
| tagonism. "If we succeed In reaching
that state" he said, "and Republican
Senators take this view OF the matter
and conduct themselves aees iiHsiy, ~
will not be the policy OF the Democratic
management OF tho bill TO impose any
unusual hardships on Senators"
The Republicans have NOT Jet given
10 the hope OF .chism In Democratic
nnks and they will announce no policy
different from that which they have been
pursuing until IL Is made mani
fest that all the Democratic Sen
ators have united upon bill. III such
unison is not shown they will continue
the present tactics with probably more
frequent roll calls and more decided
protest against long hours than have yet
occurred.
II THE HOUSE.
The House will continue work on the
| appropriation bills this week. The
Republicans developed an obstructive
policy during the consideration OF the
Diplomatic and consular bill, which was
com pleted last Thursday. consuming

tapt amendments TO unimportant Items.
The Democrats fear that this policy 10

settled programme TO delay the passage
OF the regular appropriation bills.

ing week that such is the fact, q special
order may be necessary 10 erpedih

attempt will be made to pass IL week
from tomorrow under suspension Of
the rules.

do not believe this subject should be
