WASHINGTON, July 2l.--All interest
in the senate proceedings for this week
centers in the efforts which will be
made TO settle the tariff controversy as
raised by the report of the conference
disagreement. The week will begin
with this question in the foreground |
and no one can foresee what amount of
time will be consumed upon 1t or what
will lie tho result OF the debate tomor-
row. There is little doubt but that
these proceedings VIII he of an AMI
mated character. All efforts TO com
promise differences on the tariff and
allay feelings engendered by the presi-
dents letter have so far been unavall-
Ing, and unless an unusual effort is
made and exceptional success secured
between this time and the hour OF
meeting the days session will develop
lots OF interesting speeches, which bid
fair to be characterized by words both
plain and pointed. 1t is rumored that
there is no prospect of democratic sena-
tors reaching an understanding before
tomorrow's session. This cannot be
done until the temper of the senate
shall be still further exploited before
the country.
Fate OF Coal and Iron Comes First.
If there should LIE 10 change of re-
gram, Senator HIPS motion 10 re-
cede from the senate amendment to
make coal and iron ore dutable at 40
cents per ton, and put both on the free
| lat x..lll knf lad l.t /,
Senator Villas motion to amend the
sugar schedule by striking out the 4
per cent. differentjal on refined sugar
will be the subject of discussion. This
proposition will be the most interesting
part of the debate. 1t is said that Sem
ator Hill expects TO gain votes over
tue number secured for his motion
when offered by himself before the bill
went to the conference, but he does net
think it will show any great strength
and comedies that interest Is absorbed
by the Villas motion. The duration Of
the discussion on the Villas amend
ment will probably depend largely on
the time when the point of order, which
will be made against 1t, shall be made.
When the poiut of order il once made
IL lies with the chair TO say how long
the debate upon ii shall continue. and.
with Senator Harris in the chair, II
change might be sudden at any time
after the poiut is made. The general
feeling, however, Is that the Iolnt Is
sure to be raised at some time, though
it was not TO he presented at the begin
ming of the debate.
