END NOW
Prese Mt Indications Point to Further De

Presen mt Indications Point to Further De-
bate on Tariff in the Senate.
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE outlook
certain. There is every probability that
the tariff bill will be passed, but wheth-
er early or late in the week is by no
means certain. The various provisions
for a stamp tax, for a beet sugar bounty
and for the suppression Of trusts threaten
to develop considerable debate, and
there is a prospect Of general speeches
by Senators Bate, Mills, Chiffon, Allen
and others. The present indications are
that there will be a determined effort to
force the committee on finance to re-
store the sugar bounty provision, and
upon the success or failure Of this effort
probably viii largely depend the length
Of time yet to be consumed in the sen
ate.
Programme in the House.
When the tariff bill over to the
house this week the programme is to
send it Immediately to conference. The
minority will make 40 opposition to this
if the Republicans will assure them
reasonable" time for debate when the
bill is reported back by the conferees.
To this the Republican leaders express
their assent though no determination
has yet been made Of too long a ''rea-
sonable' time. Mr.. Bailey thinks
three or four days will be sufficient. In
view Of the fact that the bill may return
to the house any day in order for ses-
sions only on Mondays or Thursdays
will probably be revoked this week or a
recess will be taken from day to day
until the bill passes the senate.
No More Amendments.
The Republican members Of the sen.
ate committee on finance held a confer
ence and decided to offer no more
amendments to the tariff bill and also
not to reintroduce the beet sugar amend
ment. 1t is understood, however, that
the committee will make no united or
determined effort to prevent the accept
ance Of the amendment, as offered by
Mr.. Allen, but that the Republican
senators will be left free to
either support it or not, as they
may see fit. The indications now are
that a majority Of them will support the
amendment Notwithstanding the COM
mittee's action in withdrawing it. The
Democrats will oppose the amendment
determinedly. The situation is full Of
many possibilities and the end cannot
be predicted until this question is set
tied.
