The Tariff In tho senate aud the ppro.
priations IN the House.
wAsHMoros. April 29.-The course which
the tarih debate may take In the senate
this week will depend entirely upon the
developments from day 10 day. The agree
ment for limiting the debate TO certain hours
each day has expired and ths republicans
have shown no disposition 10 renew IL.
The democrats can only get ths bill up each
day after the disposal of she routine morn
ing business BY vote. Senator Harris
said to-day that he thought IL the republi-
cans could only become convinced that
there WAS no prospect of opposition TO the
ball among the democrats they would yield
gracetullY to she Inevitable, and allow the
bill 20 pass after expressing their reasons
for their AntaQonism. IL Is possible that II
the republicans do not indicate their will
ingness 10 conhne themselves 30 what is
called legitimate discussion, night sessions
may be very suddenly precipitAted. aa the
democratic leaders feel an early disposal OF
the bill 10 be OF the utmost im-
portance. The republicans have no. yet
given up hope of q schism in the
democratio ranks. and thsy will announce
no policy different from that which they
have been pursuing until 10 ID made mani
fest that all the democratic senators have
united upon a bill. IL such union is not
shown they will continue their present tao
tics with probably more frequent roll calls
and a more decided protest agninst long
hours than have yst ooourrsd. They have
not decided upon their course in case OF
democratic agreement, but there are some
indicati0na that IL one is reached the op-
position will not be so stubborn. as 10 is
realized that 10 would In THAI event be fu-
tie In the end. There are few set
speeches in prospect for this week. SsRa-
tor Aldrich will probably speak during the
week aud Senators Squire and Kyle mar
also ask for time 30 deliver spesohsA The
continuation of the speeches OF Senators
Quay and DELPHI may also be eounted upon
az occasion may require.
The house will continue wOrk on ths ap-
propriation bills thia week. The republi-
osns have developed a restrictive policy
during the consideration of the diplomatic
and consular BILL which was completed last
Thursday, consuming the entire week BY
msAna OF unimportsnt amendments TO IN
i'm portant items. The democrats fear that
this policy is 90 no continued In further
ancs of a we'll prepared programms 60 de-
lay the passage OF the regular appropEia-
tion bill Afte, the completion Of ths army
bill the confederation of which was begun
Yesterday. IL lie probable Doeksry will be
allowed 10 bring forward the bill 20 rsor-
ganiEs the system OF accounting IN the
treasury department.. which is designed 20
ednce the expenditures of the department
$4,000. AZ soon as this Is out of the waF
tho river and harboT bill is 20

sist in obstruoting the programme an at
tempt will be made 20 pass IL week from

rules. The managers in the house are very
earnest in their determination not 20 per
nit any resolutions bearing on the Corey
movement 20 get into the debate. They do
not believe this subject should be agitatsd.
