Progress and Prophecy.

The Senate continues to make prog
ress on the tariff bill and the prophets
continue to prophesy as to the time of
adjournment Occasionally prophecy
general prediction has been that at the
present rate of advance and with the
skill displayed in avoiding friction and
consequent delay also with the heat of
midsummer, the country might con-
fidently look for final adjournment by
the middle of July. A recent view of
the outlook, that of a prominent Wash :
ington correspondent, is that it may be
the first of September before the tariff
receives the Presidents signature.
One of the suggestions on which this
latter opinion is based is the likelihood
of prolonged debate on the Hawaiian
matter Undoubtedly there will be a
disposition on the part of the spout
ing" element to listen to their own
voices for the Hawaiian question
affords a fertile field for that sort of
endeavor Notwithstanding tie re-
straint that the Senate has manifested
thus far the delay which Vest and
Jones have forced upon that body by
their persistent demands for votes on
schedules, where there was no possi-
blity Of effecting a change shows what
they are capable of. Then there is the
reciprocity provision to come up for de-
bate and agreement, all Of which will
take time. Moreover there is the prob
ability. Strengthening every day the
measure is delayed. that adequate
revenue for the present year, in view Of
the excessive importations, will not be
afforded by the present bill, nor is It
probable that a tax on tea will make
good any such deficiency for there
has been great excess in the importa-.
tons of that article. Indeed every
thing that can be rushed in from
abroad Is here or on the way All
things considered the prediction that 1t
will be nearer the last Of July than the
