TONGUES WAC LIKE FURY
Speeches Will Flow Like Water in
Both Houses This Week.

The Tariff Bill to Be the Theme in the
Lower House, and Repeal of the Fed
eral Elections Laws in the Upper.
GallinEer may Also Infiiot the Sem
ate With Tariff Speeoh-Hawau an
omni-Threatening Subject.
Washington, Jan. 14.-Debate and not
action will mark the proceedings of both
houses of congress this week. In the
House the feature will be the tariff debate
on, and in the Senate the bill to repeal
the federal elections laws.
The week is expected to open in the
Senate with an executive session, after
the morning hour, perhaps, to consider
the Hornblower nomination. 1t is thee
pressed determination of the senator's
who sustain the majority report of the
judiciary committee adverse to confrma-
ton to insist upon final action so, in view
of the extent to which senators have in
terested themselves in this case, it may
occupy the attention of the body in exec
utive session for two days
REPEAL OF THE ELECTIONS LAWS.
Otherwise Senator Gray, of Della
ware, conformable to notice will
call up the elections repeal bill
on Tuesday The bill will be
made the unfinished business, and be kept
before the Senate until passed or de-
feated 1t is understood that the demo
cratic senators have decided to refrain
from extended debate ON this subject and
will content themselves with two or three
speeches, which may be made by Senators
Gray, Bate and Hill. The republican
en- lrpr II re IL l.,
Lodge, Frye, Chandler and Hoar and per-
haps others, and it is the hope of the re-
publicans that their,speeches will oDlige
the democrats to reply at length. The
present expectation is that the debate
will consume at least two weeks.
Some time during the week coming
events will cast their shadows before in
the shape of tariff speech to be deliv-
cred by Senator Gallinger, of New Hamp-
shire.
SPEECHES ON HAWAII
OF course, there is always present the
possibility of resolutions and speeches on
the subject of Hawaii during the morning
hours of the week, and this proba bility is
reduced almost to certainty by the re-
Gently published correspondence.
IN THE HOUSE.
The tariff will be the almost exclusive
talk in the House this week. The general
debate ended with the remarkab BILE demon
stration on Saturday night, when the hall
was thrown open to the public and in the
presence of more people probably than
ever gathered within it's walls before
Representative Bryan delivered his
speech of two hours and forty minutes in
favor of the Wilson bill, advocating it as
an approach to free trade Beginning
with to-morrow's session the House will
take up the consideration of the bill
under the five minute rule, and
the paragraphs will be open to amend
ment. Already the desk Of Chairman
Richardson is covered with amendments
that will be proposed by various men,
bers, who want to make sure that their
propositions will receive proper attention.
The probabilities are. however, that few II
any amendments, except such as the COM
mittee on ways and means approve, will
receive sufficient support in the House 10
secure their adoption. What amend
ments the committee will propose have
not yet developed-it may be that there
will be none-but it would not surprise the
friends of the bill should there be some
changes desired by the committee be
fore 1t reaches its final touches in the
House.
CONSIDERATION OF AMENDMENTS.
The order of the consideration of
amendments has been under considera-
tion by Chairman Richardson. He was
inclined to hold, so he stated to those who
asked him in regard to the matter, that
amendments would be considered as they
were proposed, without reference to the
relations of the schedule which they af-
fected to the order of the bill. Unless he
has changed his mind, therefore, there
will be no priority given to amendments
to one section over those to another. The
bill will be thus discussed and open to
amendment this week and next and
then a vote will be taken on
it's passage on Monday, Jan %.
Night sessions will be held, at which
gentlemen will have an opportunity TO ex-
press their views at length upon the
measure. and the time is already nearly
all spoken for.
The scheme Of internal revenue will be
reported to the House on Thursday next
by Chairman Wilson as an independent
separate measure
The friends of the income tax PROPOSE
tion will endeavor to attach il to the
pending bill, and upon the motion may
come one Of the most interesting strug-
giles Of the debate, unless the matter is
spttled in caucug
