Washington, May 30.-The impression
was general about the senate at the
close of the first weeks discussion of the
tariff bill yesterday, that the sugar
schedule would be reached toward the
close Of the present week The progress
! so far made. while it was much less
marked yesterday than on previous days.
is generally regarded as little less than
phenomenal as modern tariff debates
go. Senator Vest declares that the pres
emit bill IS as far advanced now as was
the Wilson BILL after five weeks OF dis
cussion, while Senator Jones of Arkansas
asserts that as much of the present
consideration as was disposed of in the
Wilson bill in three weeks. The Re
publicans generally concede that good
progress has been made, but they ara
not inclined to felicitate themselves too
much until they see what policy is to be
pursued when questions of more general
preached.
The sugar schedule in all probability.
Will excite more prolonged and animated
debate than any other in the bill. The
Democrats are making very extensive
preparations for the discussion of this
schedule and several set speeches will be
made upon it. The indications are that
various other questions of general in
terest will be considered in connection
with the sugar duty. Senator Pettigrew
is contemplating presenting his amend
and IL is certain that the Hawaiian ques-
ton Will come to the front in an amend
ment providing for the continuance of
the reciprocity treaty with the Hawaiian
islands With reference TO the Hawaiian
treaty, there is no longer much room for
doubt that provision will be made to
continue the present treaty in effect. It
IS probable that this will be done by a
direct declaration that nothing in the bill
snail be construed as abrOgating the
treaty The Republican members OF the
committee are contemplating this change.
II Senator Pettigrew insists upon Offering
the trust amendment to this schedule he

Hcans are not yet decided whether they
