REPUBLICANS TO HOLD A CAUCUS ON MONDAY
SAFEGUARDING MAY BE CUT SHORT.
Washington, May H.-The Republican Senator'S
will hold caucus on Monday, after the adjourn
ment Of the Senate to consider various questions
In connection with the Tariff bill The first effort
will be devise plans to expedite the consideration
Of the BILL and there will also be attempt
once differences OF opinion as to the merits Of
some of it's features Some Of the schedules are
Objectionable to many of the Senator's and the sug
geston has been made that 1t is advisable to settle
such differences in caucus rather than In the open
Senate.
The principal object Of the caucus, however, Is
to agree upon plan for the limitation Of the time
for debate. and under the present rules 1t is rec
ognized that this only be done by mutual con-
sent What the leaders will first attempt is to Sc
agreement among Republican Senators to
restrain any desire that they may have for general
speeches, and thus throw the responsibility for
whatever delay may occur upon the opposition SO
far as agreed upon. the programme Is to have Sem
iator Aldrch make his statement on Monday or
Tuesday OF next week. and to follow this by i'm
medateiy taking up the schedules and making no
other set speeches on the Republican side OF the
chamber. II this plan could be Endorsed by eau
Gus 1t would. OF course, be materially strensthened
This agreement may be difficult to obtain without
some amendments OF the BILL but the advocates OF
the caucus plan believe these changes may be Sc
cured in caucus and the work expedited
There are indications that the debate may not be
so greatly prolonged at first seemed probable
The Democrats, Fopulists and Silver Republicans
all aver that they will consume no unnecessary
time with speeches. The Democrats profess to be
especially anxious that there should be delay.
The Democrats will also hold caucus soon to de-
eide upon line OF action. especially On the subject
OF amendments. A Democratic member OF the
Finance Committee expressed the opinion to-day
that a month would be sufficient time for debate
number of wool commission men from Phlade-
phia were at the Capitol to-day seeing members Of
Tho Finance Committee TO secure revocation OF
the committees action IN lowering the rates on
first and second class woods. They say that the in
crease on thrdcass woods will be OF no benefit and
that the reduction on the higher grades will work
seri )us mischief to the wool interest

OF THE wREILNGHUYsEN TREATY
Washington. May Authorization reaches here
from Salvador that Senior Zesdon special
envoy from Costa Rica, has protested In behalf
of that Government against the renewal OF
negotiations for the Frelinghuysen treaty OF 1885.
relating to the Nicaragua Canal The protest II
said to be the result OF the recent action OF Minis
ter Rodriguez Of the Greater Republic Of Central
America, In presenting letter to Secretary Oiney
protesting against the Nicaragua Canal bin then
pending In the Senate. Mr.. Oney sent the letter
to Mr. Sherman, then chairman OF the Committee
on Foreign Relations. who laid II before the Senate,
and II was largely Instrumental In securing the
abandonment Of the bill. II led to a statement by
Mr. Sherman favorable to a renewal Of the Freling-
huysen treaty. which contemplates the building
OF the canal by the United States without the In
termediary OF a private canal company. Costa
Rica has always opposed this plan and protested
against the Frelinghuysen treaty when II was frat
negotiat>d I'd. The protest at this time may have q
material effect on any negotiations TO renew tnia
lreQty.
