WASHINGTON, April 27.-l Special. AS d
was expected by experienced observers, the =
outlook for an early passage of the tariff y
bill in the senate is daily becoming more q
and more gloomy. No one Of good infor- a
nation now believes this measure will \
pass the upper branch before the middle of +
July, and some believe all of that month I
and good part Of August will have passed j
before the Dinghy bin is ready for the sig !
nature of President Mckinley. The delay ,
is due not so much to design or intrigue !
on the part of the opposition as it is to the
heaviness of the senate, the slow rate at
which it moves all its wonders to perform,
the proneness To long debate upon any and
every question, and the absence of any
rules w ich permit the majority to cut OF
debate and proceed To business While 1t
is true that the Democratic senators want
"full discussion they do not disclose any
intention TO kill time. But full discus
sion'' in the senate, conducted In the BEST
of faith, is an ain 'nterminable affair.
The best friends OF - ,ly action upon the
tariff do not see how they are to get their
bill through ~ the lst Of July, the date
which President Mckinley long ago set
| for its passage.
Welcome mt the White House.
While was ut the White House the 9th
er day George l.. Pullman, the rich sleep
| ing car man, came in to pay his respects
| to the president. Mir. Pullman, despite |
| his immense wealth and great power In |
the commercial world, Is an unassuming, |
pleasant gentleman, delightful compan-
ion and good story teller. He has been
generous contributor to several OF the re-
cent campaign funds of the Republican
marty. but understand he rarely or never
asks anything of the administration.
At the White House Mr.. Pullman ap-
reared to know his way about very well.
There was not door, a hall or nook which
he was unfamiliar with. In explanation OF
this MIR. Pullman said he had had the hon.
or of living at the executive mansion Tor
week some 26 years ago, when 1enerai
Grant was the master there. 1T is u nople
old building said Mr.. Pullman, "and 1
hope congress will never pull 1t down. III
should be preserved as long as IL VIII
stand.
If one takes up his station In the presi-
dents room for a half hour, as one Is often
compelled TO do while awaiting his turn at
the chief magistrate, he will be sure to see
n GOOD deal of human nature. There Is the
sby. timid man, who sits away back in the
corner. and who is compelled to stay there
e bonr after hour while holder men step up
z to the front and gain their coveted few NO
" ments with MIR. Mckinley. There is his
a opposite, too, the forward man, who crowds
~ in ahead of every one else, who talks I'D q
% loud voice, who fastens himself upon til'
