THE TARIFF SITUATION,

There is no change in the situation
at Washington. Senate is making good
time with the tariff working three OF
four hours every day upon the sched-
ules. The friends of the bill hold to-
gether and there is no split in their
ranks that is likely to prevent the
prompt passage of the measure. Sug-
ar, over which there is likely to be
some contention is left over until the
other items are disposed of. Vest con-
tinues his tactics. but they do not
change the Votes. Sometimes vote
or two will be lost on this or that
schedule, as it effects this or that To-
cation, but a clear majority of from
seven to ten is recorded on all disput-
ed points. Vest had one amendment
accepted without call of the Senate,
lHdl Oh dIlNlIS, anu 10 ~ douul nap
pier Democratic opposition was made
to opening the sessions at IL o'clock
and the time that could have been
gained thereby to the discussions is
lost. There is little fault to be found
with the manner in which the sched-
ules are disposed of, as decidedly good
progress is being made. Aldrich has
found the constant management Of the
bill little straining on him and for
the first time on Wednesday he left
others. 1t is close and wearing work,
no less on Vest than on Aldrich, for
both of them have kept tab on every
item as it was presented. There are
enough good Republican leaders in
chamber to see that the bill does not
suffer in Senator Aldrich's absence
and it will not be necessary for him to
break himself down in order to see that
the bill is wisely engineered through
the Senate. No meaner game in favor
