Talked Over Again.
HILL WILL MAKE A SPEECH
There'li Probably Be a Heap OF
Wind Raised sbout the For
elgn Relations Of Uncle
sam.

WASHINGTON, April s.-If the plans Of
the democratic leaders OF the senate do
not miscarry, the scrAte will devote it,
self almost exclusiv ely this week TO the
consideration of tho tariff bill. Their plan
is TO have the h1ll taken up each day i'm
mediately atter routine business, which
means that they desire to absorb as much
of tho nJrning, which usually lasts until
2o,clo:k, as possible.
II % democratic members OF the finance
co.nmittee will probably undertake TO ex-
Tend the daily sessions until 6 o'clock,
which will Likely he resisted by the repub-
licans.
Great interest Is felt in Senator Hills
speech, which is announced for to.mor-
row. 1t is known from former uttcrances
he Tsp opposed to the income tax and that
while the bill was in committee he sought
10 have many changes made in the sclled-
ules and objected to the wholesale adop-
ton OF the ad valorem system, and that at
that time the bill, as q whole, found very
little favor in his eyes. 1t is known he
has changed his mind, but he has been
very reticent on the subject since the time
OF the three days caucus. Whether Hill
his announcement depends upon Senator
Peiter. PETER has not concluded his
speech begun on Friday, and he will have
the fioor TO proceed tomorrow il he in
sists upon holding it. II is considered
probable, however, that no will yield Il
and continue his address later in the
week.
Senator Lodge has announced a speech
FOR Thursday and he may also conflict
with Senator Peffer. Tho latter is ex-
pected 10 consume all of another day
ana possibly two days more. These
speeches are the only ones positively an-
nounced Tor the present week. but there
arc other senators prepared to speak
when the chance occurs.
Other questions which may receive at
teniion through the week are the Chinese
treaty, the Russian thistle bill and the
resolution providing for the coming OF
Mesican dollars in this country. The ap.
! preparation bills will have the right of
way in the house during the week. 1t is
the intention of the senate to push ahead
with these bulls.
Prominent house democrats arc alarmed
at the slow progress made in the senate
with the tariff bill and the seeming indif.
ference of those in charge of It arc mini-
Testing. They think that by cleaning up
the work of the house. the country will
see that any responsibility for delay in the
tariff which may exist, will lay at the door
OF the senate. Tho principal fight in.
VOWED in tho consideration of the pest.
Office appropriation bill is that over the
subsidy TO the Fast Southern mail. After
the postoiIlce bill has been disposed Of,
the consular and diplomatic bill will be
taken up. This bill probably will be made
the basis for general review OF the for.
eign relations of tho government. Matters
connected with the attempt 10 restore
Queen Liliuokalani will be thrashed over
again. Tho Bluefields, Nicaragua, Incl.
dent will probably take wide range, in.
volving as it does the enforcement of the
Monroe doctrine, coupled with tho intima.
ton Of bad faith on the part Of the British.
The carrying out of the award of the Ber.
ing sea tribunal will probably attract tho
bulk Of the attention.
