WASHINGTON, June s.-whils tho
,,rla will continue the general topic Of
5.s,ussion in the senate during the prev
On, week. there Is no certainty as u
rba, portion of 1t will receive especial
,.,.a,i5a. This uncertainty is due large
" /, the difficulty of determining when
tse sugar schedule will be taken
IN It Il so generally I'M
Bss,0od that this schedule viii
c,ssume considerable time that there IS
=, EFFORT to outline beyond It the course
oi proceedings.
M wood schedule viii AFFORD O brief
,.lpite Monday before reaching the
.urar question. as that subject was left
undlsposed OF when the senate ad1ourn-
"a on saturday. Senator Allen PROBABLY
Mi enter a motion 10 strike out the en-
tlre paragraph relating TO sawed lunloer
srB the motion may lead to other
speeches than hIS own. 80,
Whether the sugar schedule VIII be
,,tsn no IN order is still undetermined.
Iysrre are many differences OF opinion on
~ subject, but the prevailing desire IL
"a "a the schedule out OF the way ns
soon sS possible. This is the case on
b,,h sides OF the chamber, but u II
sspscially true OF the Republicans, as the
rssunDsfblltty for action rests there. Stlll
,ssrs q a desire among Republican sem
.so-I that there should be absolute
srraement among themselves on the
rSte, Of this schedule before entering
upnn its discussion IN the senate, and it
h realized that this may be difficult OF
attainment without further exchange
Of opinions than has yet been permitted.
rbsrs is no doubt IN any event OF n pOIt-
r.,nernent until Senator Aldrich's return
IA the senate. He Is still confined TO his
rSrfn. but iS expected TO b out early In
he week. That the Hawaiian treaty

inlltee = considered settled, but caucus
nav be necessary 60 determine whether
o:her changes should be made. senator
Pe.;iEreW has decided definitely TO oHer
hlS lnu-trust amendment in connection
with this scheme. but beyond the fact
that Il will lead to n number Of speeches
there Is no certainty as 10 It's course or its
hie
The tobacco schedule Immediately fol-
IoSs The sugar schedule: but II II should
b. reached on Monday II would be neccs-
sary also temporarily to pass II over, as
tie committee has promised the tobacco
men a hearing on Monday night. They
viii ask for two dollars on wrapper and
thlr.y-five cents on hller tobacco. There
e also an inclination to return to the Lam
Euace nf the Wilson law on this subject.
This Is understood to be the wish OF both
the Importers and the tobacco growers.
There are many sharp contests ahead
% ;he paragraphs OF the agricultural
schedule. which is next after tobacco, In
Guiding those on rice. On which there will
BE- an effort TO secure return TO the
house rases: on cattle. on which II VIII be
c!alned there should be an ad vnlorem
rather than specific duty and on flsh'
fruits chicory and salt The innovation
OF duty on tea Is also proposed on this
schedule. but It IS practically certain
that tf,ls provision will be withdrawn by
the committee. Thus what would have
been one OF the severeSt contests over the
hll will be avoided The cotton and
spirit schedules will, & IS Thought eH-
cite comparatively little debate.
The house has no work ahead OF It this
week and Il Is the intention OF the ma
t1r.ty leaders 70 adjourn tomorrow un-
Ill Thursday and from Thursday until
Monday. Mr. Simpson and other mem
bsrs OF the minority doubtless viii essay
the usual manOeuvres with the purpose
ot embarrassing the Republicans. but IN
the present condition OF the house their
latitude Is narrow and they easily can be
oyerborn by their adyersartes.
