Very Evident That the Democrats
Cannot RecOmmit the Tar
IN Bill,

Washington, July q The Indications
when the senate adjourned to-day were
that vote would be reached upon the con-
ference report on the tariff bill some time
during Thursday. or. at the latest, before
the close Of the week. There may be
change Of conditions, which will postpone
a vote. but it is difficult to see what would
cause it. The opposition Will realize that
there is 10 possibility OF preventing the
adoption OF the report. and their present
purpose is only 10 secure what ADVANTAGE
they can by exhibiting what they claim
are Inconsistencies OF the measure. II Is
true that at one time they had some hope
OF being able TO secure the recommIttal

no foundation for this hope It develops

Eolidy for tie report. and that they will
Be supported by Messrs. Jones. Of Nevada

Louisiana Democrau. and also probably

left strict instructions that he should not
