wAsnrseros, April 29.-Ths 9Th week
of the debate on tariff opsns tomorrow.
If runner be trus some material changes
have bean made In the way Of concessions
snd the industries Of the states represent
ed by the so-csllsd conservative senators,
who get more protection than was believed
possible. In many GASES spsoihc ratss win
be restored and senate reductions of rates
imposed by the house bill have been aban-
doned. No changes have bean made In the
free list 20 far - can be ascsrtainsd.
Coal, iron ore and Lad ore Win, u IL
said, remain a. the senate previously 10
ported them, although great pressure was
brought TO bear to have the duties on these
raw materials increased. While lead ore
remains unchanged II IL given ont that the
duties on lead products have been in
creased. OF these white lead II chief.
Under the present law white lead bears
duty of three cents. The house reduced
II to 1.5 cents and that was permitted TO
stand by the senate COMMITTEES. II In now
said this rate will be increased to two
cents, the authority for this bsipg Q sena-
tor who ought to know what 10 going on.
II Is also to be practically settled that
the one-tenth of q oent discriminating duty
on refined sugar levied against countries
paying Q bounty on refined sugars export
ed Will be given. The sugar growers, rep
resented by Senators Cafrey and Blan-
chard, still believe they will be able to get
forty-dve per cent. I'D valorem on raw
committee has offered them. The sugar
and lead schedules, which have caused .
vast amount of trouble, being 10 nearly
agreed upon and tho income tax modified
80 a. to ensure the support Of the nalcon-
tents, and certain other duties sffecting
the manufacturing states of New York,
New Jersey and Maryland, having been In
creased, IL appears as If the time was near
when the democrats would be In . position

hind the managers Of the bill. Although
the bill was taken up BY paragraphs

Mr.. Aldrich IL preparing q speech which he
hopes to deliver before the week ends. II
the committee amendment which Mr.. Aid
rich announced were to be forthcoming
should be reported this week an animated
discussion may grow up there
from.
Meanwhile there IL executive business to
be disposed Of according to precedent.
May 8 has been set aside for the considera-
ton of the Chinese treaty. Mr.. Gall In
anxious to defeat the nomination of George
w. Wilson, nominated to be collector of
internal revenue for the district Of Florida.
Each Of thees matters is likely to consume
q day, 80 that the chances for much prog
ress are not favorable.
No variation from the program followed
by the houee for two months IL promised
by the managers for this week. 81 can zee
nothing ahead of us In the near future"
