TIRED OF TARIFF TALK.
Senator'S Anxious 10 Come to a Vote
on the Bill.


on the Bill.
The prevailing desire among Senators
regardless of party affiliaticn, is 10 reach
a vote Saturday afternoon upon the tariff
till. it seems probable that tie measure
can then be disposed Of; but, of Cculse, in
a todv where there is no means Of limiting
debate, and there is no telling when
firebrdRd may be thrown to excite the
Senators, 1T is not safe TO ma Ike predictions
The understanding is that If vote cannot
lie had on Saturday, Mr.. Allison will en-
deavOr to fix a time, and the belief is he
VIII ask that the final vote be taken at 4
O'clock either on Tuesday or Wednesday
Of next week.
1t is expected that considerable friction
V i'll arise when the bill goes TO conferen oe,
owing to the changes made by the Senate
in the original House provisions. Then,
again. a great deal of pressure will lie
brought TO bear by certain influences to
obtain favors. The manUf acturers OF
grain bags and of cotton bagging, as
" ell as those who control the cotton tleout-
pvt. have their agents here trying to pre-
veRs these articles from going on the free
list.

that more than two weeks VIII be re-
