WASHINGTON, April 29.-The SEN
ate committee on finance met to-
day. 1t was expected that an effort
would be made to report the tariff bill
direct to the senate, in spite of the
Democratic desire to retain 1t until some
idea of it's provisions could be obtained
The Democratic members have no.
been furnished with any of the amend
ments which the Republican majority
proposes to insert, and are unaware OF
the nature Of the same. When the COM
mittee met it was announced that the
amendments would not be ready until
next Monday, and that it was the desire
of the Republicans that q report should
at once be maze to the senate, where the
bill might remain on file until the Demo-
cratic minority of the committee had an
opportunity to scrutinize it.
Senators Vest. White and others stren-
uously objected to the policy and the en-
tire Democratic side signified their de-
termination to see and consider the
amendments before permitting report
to be made.
While no definite information was
given, enough was said to show that but
few additions have been made to the
bill, while numerous reductions have been
effected.
Senator Jones of Nevada is In New
York, but will be back this evening,
and he authorizes Senator White to vote
him against any report of the bill until
he could fully examine it. He holds the
key to the situation, and 1t is believed
that he will decline to join the Repub-
licans in reporting the bill until they
acquiesce in reasonable suggestions
with reference to coast matters. West
ern senators feel that if their constitu-
encies are to be subjected to tax for the
benefit of the east, the evil must be nit
fgated by comforting upon the west
''some advantages of a similar nature" "
The Democratic vacancies on commit
tees will likely be filled next week. The
steering committee met today and de-
cided upon this action.
THE HARBOR QUESTION
Senator White will. in all probability,
introduce resolution of inquiry re-
garding the San Pedro harbor matter
next Monday, If nothing is heard from
Secretary Alger concerning the adver-
tising for bids upon the work.

IN THE SENATE
A Deluge Of Resolutions But No
Action

Associated Press Special Wire.
WASHINGTON, April 29.-The ques-
ton of whether business was to be done
by the senate this week was raised to-
day by Mr.. Pettigrew of South Dakota.
Republican, when the senate met
Mr.. Pettigrew proposed that the sem
ate direct a conference on the Indian
appropriation bill.
Mr.. Chandler of New Hampshire, Re-
publican, however gave notice that he
would object to any business being done
because there was. general understand
ing that none should be taken up dur
in the absence Of so many senators in
New York to attend the ceremonies of
dedicating the Grant monument. Other
senators protested that there had been
no such agreement made. Thereupon
Mr.. Quay of Pennsylvania, Republican,
suggested that before the Indian bill
was disposed of there should be an in
vestigation of the leases of the oil lands
of the Seneca Indians of New York,
remarking that the senate should know
whether the Indians were being robbed
of valuable interests.
A message from the president trans
mitting the report of the commission
to adjust the boundary line between
the United States and Mexico west Of
the Rio Grande was read.
Then Mr.. Quay presented a resolution
calling upon the secretary of the in
terror for information as to whether
the leases of the Senecas' oil lands had
been made in the usual manner, and
whether there had been any corruption.
1t was agreed to without debate.
During the presentation of memori-
ais Mr. Spooner offered one from 'sev-
eral thousand men who work for wages
in the lumber districts of Wisconsin,"
asking for the enactment of the lumber
schedule of the Dingley bill.
The senate was quite deluged with
resolutions.

port at the beginning of the next session

they were due to the destruction of tim

This move is a disappointment to the

obstruct the measure they propose to
take time for its careful consideration be-

weeks. The chances for the early pass

may be August before it goes to the
