DEMOCRATS AND THE TARIFF.
Senators viii Not Permit the Bill TO 10

WASHINGTON, April 2v.-Thc dem
ocratic members of the senate finance
committee followed up their refusal TO
allow the tariff bill to be reported
direct to the senate, with inc
announcement that they would expect
to be given opportunity for thorough
examination of all the schedules OF the
bill as amended before It is reported
to the senate. They have already
employed one expert, and will employ
others to take up the bill in Their
behalf as soon rs it is presented to
them. They expect to be able to
examine the bill sufficiently to permit
it to go to the senate in about two
weeks time after they receive 1t.
The republicans think they discover
in the present attitude of their dem
ocratic colleagues q disposition to
delay the passage of the bill, which
they had not previously counted upon,
and are making their preparations for
a long siege in the senate as well as in
committee. Some of them express the
fear that the bill will not become a
law before the 1st of August.
