WASHINGTON, April s.-If the plans
OF the Democratic leaders OF the SEN
ate do not miscarry the Senate will de-
vote itself almost exclusively this week
to consideration Of the tariff bill. Their
plan is to have the bill taken up each
day Immediately after the conclusion OF
the routine morning business, which
means that they desire TO absorb as
much OF the morning hour, which usu-
and cut out the discussion OF miscella-
neous subjects, many OF which
are introduced when Ques-
tion like the tariff bill Is
under discussion for the purpose OF de-
lay. They may not succeed In getting
such an order as this. bat the announce
ment OF the purpose Of making an effort
in that direction Is an indication OF
their intention oi,crowding the debate
along as rapidly as it possibly can be
done.
The Democratic members OF the FL
nance Committee will also probably un-
dertake to
EXTEND THE DAILY SESSIONS
until 6 o'clock, which will most likely
be resisted by the Republicans.
Great interest is felt In Senator HllI's
speech. which Is announced for to-mor-
row. Ii is known from former utteran-
ces that he is opposed 10 the Income
tax. and that, while the bill was Ia COM
mittee. he sought TO have many changes
made Ia the schedules and objected 10
the wholesale adoption OF the ad valorem
system-that, Indeed, az that time the
bill, as a whole, found very little favor
in his eyes. 1t is not believed that he
has changed his mind. but he has been
very reticent on the subject since the
time of the three DAYS caucus.
Whether Mr.. Hlll shall speak 10 NOR
row In accordance with his announce.
ment will depend upon Senator PETER.
Mr.. PETER has not concluded the speech
begun by him on Thursday and he will
have the floor TO proceed tomorrow IN
he insists upon holding II.
Other questions which may receive at
tention during the week are the Chinese
treaty, the Russian Thistle bill and the
resolution providing for the coinage OF
Mexican dollars in this country.
IN THE HOUSE.
Appropriation bills will have the right
of way in the House during tho week.
II is the intention OF the House mana-
gers TO push ahead with these bills and
get them out OF the way as soon rs pos
sible. Some Of tho prominent House
Democrats are alarmed at the slow
progress made In the Senate with tho
tariff bill, aud the seeming Indifference
those In charge OF IL are manifssting.
They think by clearing up the work OF
the Honse the country will see that any
responsibility for the delay OF the tarih,
which may exist, will lie at the door
OF the Senate.
The principal iight Involved in the
consideration Of the postofiice appro-
priatlon bill Is over the subsidy 70 the
Fast Southern mail. The Consular and
Diplomatic bill will follow.
The matters connected with the at
tempt to restore Queen Biliuokalani
will again be threshed over; the Brazil
Ian resolution, and the action OF Com
mander Stanton ia saluting the insur-
gent General De Mello, will come In for
their share OF attention as will also the
Blue6elds. Nicaragua incident, and per-
haps the wreck OF the Kearsarge. In
fact, the debate will probably take
very wide range, and may touch upon
any OF the numerous diplomatic con.
troversies pending.
