washington. May 23.-The Morgan
resolution. recognizing the beAgerency
of The Cuban insurgents, which passed
The Senate on Thursday, viii not be
acted upon by The House this week.
That is the decision Of the Republican
leaders. They have decided TO block
the resolution until the plans Of the
President. which are now maturing,
are formulated There viii doubtless
be q demand on The par of the minority
Tor immediate action. but they are
powerless TO secure consideration unless
the Rules Committee will report
A SPECIAL ORDER.
This the Rules Committee will not
do. The majority viii antagonize any
aJsmp. to force consideration with a
motion to adjourn until Thursday. On
Thursday the conference report on the
Indian or sundry Civil bill may be
ready. II one OF the other is not ready,
The House will adjourn until the fol-
lowing Monday.
On Tuesday next. ten weeks and a
day after the beginning Of the session,
the Senate viii take up the tariff bill
for the passage Of which the session
was especially called. The bill was
have been called up on Monday, b.
the death Of Senator Earle, Of South
Carolina, will render necessary an ad-
journment for a day. Senator Aldrich
will
CALL Up THE BILL,
move It's consideration and make
speech in its support The Democratic
amendment striking out the internal
revenue feature Of the bill will be in
troduced by Senator Vest
After this. the course Of procedure is
somewhat indefinite. The Democrats
are not clear as 10 whether they Will
permit the immediate handing up Of
the schedules or viii demand an op-
porunity TO make set speeches bearing
upon the general policy Of the bill The
prevailing opinion among the Demo-
cratic leaders is against the policy OF
general speeches at the beginning of
the discussion. but they viii not at
tempt TO restrain individual Senators
who are disposed to discuss
THE GENERAL FEATURES
of the bin and who are inclined 20 the
opinion that the bes, time for such
speeches will be while The debate on
the bin is young. Senator Vest does lot
expect 10 make a speech in presenting
the motion % strike out the revenue
features. but the motion may lead TO i'm
mediate debate. and in case exception
is taken 10 70. The Missouri Senator viii
be heard from. The Silver Ropubh-
cans and Populis-s viii seek oppor-
tunity during the tendency Of the bill
to present some remarks of a political
nature. and some Of them may be
heard during the week. The general
sentiment amcug straight Republicans
IS adverse 70 the encouragement Of any
general discussion Of the bill or TO long
speeches on the schedules, but no party
r1licy has YET been decided upon.
ACAUCUS HAS BEEN CALLED
for this purpose 10 be held Monday
afternoon. There will undoubtedly be
strong opposition u some Of the SEIZED
'ules on the par- Of Republican Seua-
tors. end amendments will be firmly
pressed. Some Of these amendments
will be offered ID the chemical schedule,
the first Of the list. and they Will
probably be reached during the present
week. Other features of the bill which
Republican Senator's will attack are
those affecting the sugar and wool du-
ties and taking hides from the free list.
Senator Pettigrew's amendment against
trusts is also certain 10 prove fruitful
Of much general debate when reached.
Senator AIIrich says he will not speak
TO exceed an hour in time on Tues
d-y. He viii e.ve. for the first time,
the esuma Of the Republican MEM
bers OF the Finance Committee Of the
amount Of revenue the hill will pro-
duce. and viii explain the Committees
plan O, action. giving the reasons for
some Of the more important amend
meutS made.
HIS STATEMENT
Is antic.pa.5d with much interest.
