WASHINGTON, July 22-The events of
the day have not seriously changed the
tariff situation. Senators Morgan and Pet
tus this afternoon stood in the way of
unanimous consent to take vote to-mOr-
row (Friday) afternoon, but it was never
theless believed that the bill will be al
lowed to pass before the Senate adjourns
for the day. Senator Tillman, of South
Carolina, who was dissuaded from making
a two hours speech against the bill, has
decided that he will not waste his industry
in preparing the effort and will direct his
guns against the Sugar Trust, and will find
an excuse during the day to indulge III
what he is pleased to call some pitch
fork pyrotechnics' This will have no eff
feet on the tariff bill, except to delay the
vote just the period of time consumed by
him in making the delivery Everybody in
the Senate, with the exception of three or
four chronics, want to have the tariff bill
voted on and out of the way. They are
becoming impatient. While the bill is in
the hands of the President the Senate will
endeavor to dispose of some miscellaneous
business, but it is doubtful if anything i'm
portant is done. The House may, how
ever, take up the currency commission reso-
luton introduced by representative Stone
this afternoon and pass t.
Democratic senators nave been flooded
with tele grams to-day urging them to cut
short the discussion on the tariff bill and
permit its early passage. They find no
encourag 9ment from any quarter for delay
or filibustering, and whatever ideas they
may have had favoring any such d plan
have been entirely abandoned. 1t was the
habit of business men to put the pressure
on the Republicans early in the Senate
discussion but when it was seen that the
Republicans were doing the best they could,
work was commenced on the Democrats,
and it has been kept up unremittngly
Christopher Bailey, an extensive manu-
facturer and capitalist of Philadelphia,
says that under the new tariff law the mills
Of this country will be turning out $200O0,O0C
worth of burlaps annually, and that every
pound that is consumed in this country will
be made at home At the present time all
the burlaps used in the United States come
from Calcutta and Dundee, this country
taking about one-half of the worlds out
put.
The treasury officials have made prepare
lions to put the tariff act into operation
Immediately upon it's receiving the sigma
ture of the President. Copies of the bill
have been sent to customs officers through
out the country in anticipation of it's pas
sage and it is expected that all will have
reached their destination by the time the
bill becomes a law. Collectors also have
been instructed to make the change from
the old law to the new upon receipt of
trustworthy information, official or other
wise, that the bill has received the Presi-
dents approval. Officials who have given
the pending bill careful scrutiny state that
it is exceptionally free from antiquities
