THE COMING WEEK IN THE SENATE
A CONFERENCE REPORT ON THE TARIFF
EXPECTED THCPSDAY-THE GEN
ERAI DEFICIENCY RIJJ

Washington. July ll-Beyond the fact that the
General Deficiency Appropriation bill probably will
be passed and that the Senate will stand ready
take up the Tariff bill any time that report
may be brought in by the conference committee.
little be predicted of the Of events in the
Senate during the present week. The disposition is
TO do little in the way of general legislation. and
there Is a proposition under consideration by the
leaders of the two sides of the chamber TO adopt
the pan now in vogue in the House for sitting only
every third day after the deficiency bill shall have
been disposed Of
This suggestion has been made In view of the
possibility of pressure to take up the matter of the
appointment of Currency Commission. The gen.
eIa impression about the Senate Is that the House
will pass such bill on this subject the Presi-
dent may recommend. but there is no probability
that the Senate will take the matter up seriously.
The desire Is to make this intention clear by in
frequent meetings.
There are. however. some matters on the Execu-
tive calendar demanding attention, and there may
be an effort to clear this calendar off during the
week. II such should prove TO be the case. there
would be more or less discussion in executive ses-
sion over the McCord. Warner and Goodnow NOM
nations. The friends Of the Hawaiian Annexation
Treaty the Foreign Relations Committee also
luton at their meeting next Wednesday. but it is
by means certain that the committee will be
able reach agreement soon.
Monday will be devoted 10 the General Deficiency
bill particular attention being given to the 2rov dr
ton. This portion OF the bill will be seriously an
tagonized and quite fercey debated. Senator Har
ris. of Kansas. VIII endeavor to get his resolu
ton regarding the reorganization of the Union Pa
cifc Railroad during the week but In this he will
be opposed and is not likely TO succeed.
The tariff conferrees confidently expect TO bring
debate the report will depend upon how well
the Senate conferrees may have succeeded in MAIN
tanning the integrity of the Senate bill The DEM
ocrats and other opponents of the bill make no
cret Of their intention TO oppose the adoption OF the
report If II appears that the amendments which
they instrumental In securing. putting cotton
baggng, cotton ties. burlaps paris green. etc,
the free list have been receded from.
The Senate will insist upon final adjournment
soon as the tariff is disposed OF.
