he will not send to Congress at this ses-

There will be ample provision for a

The vexing problem of what to do with
the greenbacks will be met fairly and

Of draining the gold reserve whenever

Expected Work at This and the Com
ing Session

WASHINGTON, D. c., June &c.
The Republican tariff managers are
very hopeful Of being able to complete
the consideration of the tariff bill in the
Senate by next Wednesday night, re-
suit which would bring it to an end in
the Senate within the present month.
They are led to this conclusion because
the Republicans have adjusted most OF
their differences and see their way clear
to a settlement of the others.
The Democratic leaders do not con-
cede the possibility Of so early con-
clusion. They generally place 1t week
further on or about the 7th or 8th of
July, but they admit that the end may
come by Saturday night Of next week.
OF the problems still unsolved by the
Republicans lead ore, iron ore, gypsum.
tallow and a. few chemicals are giving
the most trouble, but there is no doubt
of an adjustment on all these which will
hold the full party vote. The disposi.
ton Is to hold to the rates at present
fixed on lead and iron ore, with the in
tention of making changes in confer
ence. The expectations are that the bill
will not be long in conference. Prospec-
tive House conferees have been in touch
with the Senate managers from the be-
ginning of the consideration of the bill
in the Senate. and have already, 1t is
stated, practically concurred in many
changes which have been made. Both
the Senate and the House managers will
agree upon the necessity for as early an
agreement as possible. Senator Aldrich
is expected to return in time to act with
the Senators in conference. He is looked
for on Sunday.
TARIFF FORECASTS
The rate on Canadian coal will prob
ably be advanced to 81 cents per long
ton. Advocates of high rate on lead
ore are apparently prepared to meet
their opponents half way in conference
and accept q rate of ~ cents.

cally decided to abandon the proposed
tax on bank checks which at one time
was so favorably considered, and also
to an increase of "A cents barrel in the
