portion OF 10 viii receive spe-
rdon. This uncertainty is due
.o the difficulty Of determin-
eren the sugar schedule will be
. r1. IL is so generally under
that this schedule will consume
able time that there is no ef-
. .5 outline beyond it the course OF
..ai.ngs. The wood schedule will
s--t brief respite Monday before
-..-a.rg the sugar question. as that
...sa.r was left undispOsed Of when
.s. Senate adjourned Saturday. Sena-
u- Allen probably will enter a motion
., strike out the entire paragraph re-
-artng to sawed lumber, and the motion
NAV lead to other speeches than his
own.
Whether the sugar schedule Will be
taken ND in order is still undetermin-
ed. There are many differences Of.
opinion on the subject but the pre-
vaning desire is to get the schedule
OUT OF THE WAY
as soon as possible. This is the case
on both sides Of the chamber. but it is
ey7scially true Of the Republicans, as
the responsibility for action rests
there. Still there is a desire among
Republican Senators that there should
bs absolute agreement among them
selves on the rates of this schedule
before entering upon its discussion in
tss Senate. and it is realized that this
nav De difficult of attainment without
q further exchange of opinions than
has yar been permitted. There is no
doubt i'm any event of "a postponement
until senator Aldrich returns 10 the
Senate He is still confined TO his
room. t1- is expected 10 be out early
I'm .as week. That the Hawaiian
treaty win he protected by the Finance
C7r~.-ae is considered settled. but
ACArCUS MAY BE NECESSARY
20 determine whether other changes
should be made. Senator Pettigrew
has decided definitely To- offer his anti
trust amendment i'm connection with
this schedule tgt beyond the fact that
i- viii 'e.i 90 a number of speeches,
there is ro certainty as to its course
or It's fate.
The tobacco schedule Immediately
follows the sugar schedule; but if it
should be reached on Monday it would
Be necessary also temporarily to pass
'- over. as the committee has prom
ssi the tobacco men a hearing on
Monday night. They will ask for two
dollars on wrapper and 50 cents on
fuar tobacco. There is also an in
F-aHon 10 return to the language Of
.ta Wilson law on this subject. This
IS Understood to be the wish of both

There are
MANY SHARP CONTESTS
ahead on the paragraphs of the agri-
cultural schedule. which is next after
tobacco. including those on rice. on
which there viii be an effort to secure
sr.urn 20 the House rates; on cattle,
ON which it will be claimed there
.aord be- an ad valorem rather than
O. specific duty. and on fish, fruits,
rtHrv and salt. The innovation of
e .eu on tea is also proposed on this
schedule. but it is practically certain

have been one of the severest contests
over .le bin will be avoided The
cotton and spirit schedules will, it is
,'r thought, excite comparatively
