No Likelihood That the Tariff Bill
VIII Pass Tomorrow Night.

W III fasr AOttoTTo" Nikht.
The developments in the senate today
appear To IaG.cate the impossibility Of
passing the tariff bill by tomorrow night,
as had been hoped by the Republicans
There is sgGfieh proneness on che part of
some Democrats to make speeches and
IN arh of the tiInethis afternoon was taken
up 10y Mr Caffery In another attack on
the sugar schedule
The action III tie Republican caucus on
the suofect OF antitrust legislation VIII
also cause further delay. Senator RutIer
is preparing for long speech, and viii
be followed by others. Several new
antitrust amendments were offered
today II the Republicans secure
enough Democratic votes to enabIe them
To force through their caucus decree re-
euacJiHg the exsting antitrust amend
ment, the FOpulists and silver Republicans
will maintain . fight on their OWE behaif,
and at Iea=, pat the Others on record.
Cnder existing conditions, therefore, tt
Is extremely Improbable that the bin can
lie completed by tomorrow night.

The Calvert Episode.
the Editor of The Times:

To the Editor of The Times:
Neither Mr.. Calvert nor his female cham
pion in the Post appears to understand the
occurre OF his summary election from
the National Theater meeting on Friday
night. AS TO the jabbering epiEhcts of :he
said defender, it is not necessary to reply.
Liberty of opinion and freedom OF speech
are still to be had in this country at all
proper times and places Butthe partisans
of one party cannot raise their discordant
olamors In q called meeting of the oppo-
site party without justly provoking n
Calvert episode. This any gentleman IN
his sober senses would comprehend. AS
to the tigots who would uphold the in
human butchery and wasting fury of the
Spanish army in Cuba, they had better not
attend meetings held under the auspices
of the Cuban League of the United States,
The league is not now engaged in O
propaganda to create sentiment, but simply
trying to crystallize existing sentiment in
this country In favor of the absolute in
dependence OF the brave Cuban patriots

the prison to be just the reverse and in
perfect condition He enjoyed a sail up

clared to have been a good boat in her

the marked improvement that has been
made in torpedo boats
Mr.. Roosevelt further said that he would
make no more visits to navy yards for
some time to come, which wasinterpTeted,
at the department, to mean that he will
prepare himself for an exhaustive inves-
ticauon Of the navy yards early in the

Contumacious Correspondents
Trial Deferred for a Week.
PROSECUTION NOT YET READY
The District Attorney Makes the
Motion for COutinuance-De-
fense Resists, But Yields Through
Courtesy-The Govern nment Is Con-
fident of Convic tion.

The case of Correspondent John s. shrf-
refused to answer questions to a Senate
committee On the ground that so answer
ing would be breach OF professional con
fidence, was called yesterday before Judge
Bradley. The case is peculiarly interest
ing, not only 70 the press or the country, but
TO the people with whom the representa-
tives or the press deal For both of these
reasons there was a representative gath
ering OF newspaper people il court yester-
day morning. when the first skirmish in ths
proceedings took place.
The Case for the Government is being
conducted by District Attorney Davis and
Assistant District Attorney Baker. Mr.
Shriver is represented by Judge Ditten-
hoefer, OF New York, and udge Jere VIII
son. OF this city
The defendant correspondent was In
court, aZJi felt comfortable as he could
under the circumstances, and especially
the circumstance that it is known that the
prosecution regards the Shriver case as
a counterpart of the Chapman case, which
went through all the mills, and ended in
the New York broker serving q sentence
kOi S4AS similar Dis COuu-
sci are able gentlemen, and doubtless VIII
see to it that Mr. Shriyer will have as fair
show as did the sugar trust defendants.
The prosecution advised the counsel Cn
the other side early that there would lie
a molten tc continue the case until today
week This was u be based on the
ground of the absence of two material wit
neSses. The ether witnesses, Senator
of the Senate Investigating committee, Mr..
II. W. Layton, assistant Sergeant-at arms
OF the Senate, were on hand.
In making the motion for Jhe continuance
the district attorney explained the ab-
sence of tue two witnesses, one Of whom
is Senator Lo,lge, and the other the stenog-
rapheI who took Mr.. Shriver's testimony
before the committee. Senator Lodge was
unavoidably absent and the StenOgrapher
is sick
Judge Dittenhoefer did not make any
very strenuous objection % the continu-
ance, stating that ii was 3 matter or in
convenience, but that it would be un-
gracious under the circumstances to insist
on proceeding.
The district attorney suggested Thurs
day, but that day did not suit Mr.. Wilson.
SO the case went over u the day named
The court was ready to proceed, and, in
fact, suggested that advantage ought to be
taken OF the postponed hot weather.

The World of Business.
Wall Street YESTERDAY.

New York, June 7.-During the greater
part OF tie day the stock market showed
good deal OF irregularity. The specu-
lation was altogether governed by
technical influences, and rather more at
tention was given to detecting evidence
OF liquidation here and there or new sup
port than to the situation at large. The
absence OF the pronounced buoyancy OF
Saturday In the early dealings disposed
traders to play the market for a reac-
ton, and continuation Of on GaticI in GER
tain stocks on large scale was an
additional incentive to the same policy
Matters which had tendency to IT,
strict activity-and at times the market
was very dull-were reports of unseason-
ably cold weather in the West and of con-
sequent crop damage, and the arrival here
from Cuba of the special commissioner of
the Administration. SO far az the Cuban
question is concerned, IT is Improbable that
the street will he any mere enlightened ON
the subject for some time than it is now,
though the Administration has displayed
its hand sufficiently TO show that there is
little In the premises to cause alarm in
financial circles.
In expectation of the decIara ton of the
regular dividends, tomorow's Sugar, West

features OF the list, though Western Union
declined La the morning, on runOTs that
u new issue of bonds was Contemplated
In the case Of Manhattan the buying was

The most hopeful representations Of
the business outlook and OF tine future Of
the stock market boom are made on all
sides 10y the people who will be most bene-
fitted icy the fulfiliment of their prophesies
There is hardly dissenting voice among
the Republican sound money business men,
The Henry Clews letter has this para
graph alludine to the gcneralness OF the
feeling, or at least, of the utterance al
this direction:
1T is notable symptom that several
persons of eniinence and directly in touch
with tie farming interest and the larger
industries have simultaneously expressed
their views ON the busines ess outlook II TN
expectediy hopeful terms. Mr.. Thomson,
president Of the PENNSYLVANIA Railroad, Mr.
Goull, OF the Missouri Paoiflc; Mr.. Chaun-
cey NJ. Depew and Mr. c. p. Huntington,
who are among the foremost representa-
tives OF the railroad interest in different
sections of the country, have uniformly
expressed sanguine expectations as 10 tie
general outcome Of the harvest and the pros
pect Cf business at large. Similar eSti~
mates of the diff of the crops and of buSi-
ness nave been made by Mr.. Andrew Car
ne.ie, Hon. Roswell p. Flower and Mr..
Hill, president OF the Great Northern.
Such q body of opinion, coming from men
possessing the lest sources OF knowledge
as to conditions and movements, very nat
uraliy has an important effect lii mar het
where all the interests Of the country are
represented, and constitute basis for
confidence which cannot be disIegarded.
simultaneously with these estimates, We
have a confirmation of them in the m
proving traffic returns of the railroads
and a pretty uniform gainin their net earn
ings The recent reports of the Chicago,
Burlington and Quincy and tie Chicago,
Rock Island and Pacific, leading repre-
sentatiyes of the Granger group of roads,
suggest a ready explanation of tie kind
of influences thathav brought out the hope
fuI utterances above referred TO. Taken
altogether, these facts indie ate that q IrO-
cess of real improvement is in plcgress in
quarters having a close connection with in
vcstment interests
The sincerity of these beliefs and the
continuance of this good railroad news
must, of course, be matters of question,
the former al waysand the latter until later
in the crop season. But of their TEN
porary effect on the stock market it is
easier to Judge. A bull movement of
fair proportions is undoubtedly with US
Although there has already bten an ex-
cellent advance compared with the dis
heartening stagnation and narro owness Of
the last few months, it seems very proba-
BILE that it will continue for two or three
days in certain of the best of the securi-
ties at least.
