their present purpose IS only TO secure
what advantage they can by exhibiting
what they claim are the Inconsistencies

some hope OF securing a recommittal
OF the bill. but thorough canvass re-

OF the report the democrats will probably
not attempt to prolong the debate beyond
the arrival OF Turnkey. the new senator
from Tennessee. They win continue to
ask for an explanation OF the changes
made by the conference. but these will
not occupy great deal OF time.
The general opinion is that a quorum
OF the senate win disappear vely soon
after the disposal Of the tariff bill, but
the determination of the supporters Of
Harris Pacific railroad resolution to Sc
cure a vote upon it before tinal adjourn
ment may delay that consummation for
some days.
