at the defeat or p tssage Of this all-impor-

there patiently waiting tor the end.

the undiscovered mysteries OF Washing.
ton, but that IL exists no one can deny.
The final session OF the tariff hght in
the senate was long one, but not par
ticularly interesting or entertaining.
The one thing which gave IL unusual
interest was the fact that this was TO be
the last battle In stubbornly contested
campaign which had lasted for over five
months, aud there WAS Just that element
OF doubt aud uncertainty about the out
come which made the men with sporting
instincts indu ~ In waRers.
Doubt at the Last Moment
Up 90 the last, almost, there were men
on both sides Of the chamber who felt
none too sure as To the final result, while
there were Others who were confident that
their side would be victorious These,
however were more swayed by their feel
ings than their judgment, as it was man

the margin either way would be small.
The result justified the prediction.
All during the day the monotonous
work OF perfect,ng the bill WAS continued.
Amendments offered by the finance COM
mittee were agreed TO without much de-
bate; amendments offered from the Re-
pu blican side were Knocked out with
great regularity. But there was no end

How IL WIN BE Treated.
With the tariff bill passed by the sem
ate, attention Is now directed to the ac-
tion Of the house.
Representative Catchings, who, with
Speaker Crisp and Representative Outh-
waite. constitute the Democratic mem bers
of the rules, or steering" committee,
outlined as follows the course OF proceed
ure In the house, and what would be done
TO expedite the bill to Its final enact
ment.
''Asa general thing" said Mr. Catch
ings, "Mr Wilson will be given every AZ
sistance at the command of the rules
committee. There has been no conference
with him and no exact program In ar
ranged, but he will be given such support
as he desires'rt successive stages.
'"The hill will BE- laid over one day un-
der the rules Tomorrow 1t will be for
mally referred To the ways and means
committee By Saturday, think, they
| will report 1t back to the house with a
reoomme ndation Of non-concurrence In
the senate am ndments. and for q confer
ence II Is prob able, therefore. that the
conferrees can be appointed and the con-
ference sessions actually opened by Satur-
day Of this week"
No Delay.
Mr.. Catchings then took up each step
of legislative progress. explaining the
possibilities of delay and the manner Of
overcoming IT, THE first step made by
Mr. Wilson tomorrow for a reference u
the ways and means committee Is for
NAL aud will probably be agreed to a,
once without debate, But there In che
possibility Of some comment and discus
sion at that time. There Is no rule TO pre-
vent IL. Some member may rise with AT
unexpected proposition for disagreement
with the senate. without reference u
committee or for instructions To the com
mittee, but such moves are hardly proba
BILE
"The usual and regular course woulC
be to Immediately refer the bill to Mr.
, Wilson's committee. Aud II the cours
, was interrupted special rule would b
brought in to bring the question to a vot
at once. The prospects are that the com
mittee stage can be completed In on
day. 40 that Saturday will see the repor
of the committee TO the house.
