indeed. the practical operation of the
gold standard cannot be stopped short

the workingmen are pushed clear to the

In regard to these sturdy old noun

ITSFATE UNCERTAIN
A Vote to be Taken On the Arbitra-
ton Treaty Wednesday---The Re-
suit Promises to be Very Close.
The House Doing Nothing.

WASHINGTON May 1.-The Senate will
resume business in earnest Monday, and
the week bids fair to be one OF important
results According to agreement, a vote
will be taken on the arbitration treaty on
Wednesday.
1t is also quite probable that the COM
mlttee vacancies will be filled and that
the tariff bill will be reported TO the
Senate.
For the rest. Senator Morgan probably
will call up his Cuban resolution, the sun
dry civil appropriation bill may be passed,
and Senator Hoar has given notice that
he will move 10 have the Committee on
Rules discharged from the further con-
sideration of his amendments 10 the rules
for the limitation of debate.
There is great uncertainty as to the fate
of the treaty and it now looks as il the
margin would not exceed two or three
votes, whatever the result may be. There
are a few unascertained votes which Will
decide the result. A canvass made yester-
day shows forty votes certain for the
treaty and twenty-five certain against it.
Twenty-nine votes in opposition are sutti-
cient TO defeat it. but the opposition do
not know just where these four votes can
he found. There will be considerable spar
ring over the treaty before the vote is
taken, but no prolonged debate is expected.
The consideration of the sundry civil ap-
preparation bill has been postponed until
Senator Allison, VINO will have charge Of
it in the Senate. could be present.
If Senator Hoar fufIs his promise to

of the rules. his motion will be stubbornly
resisted by the Democrats. Those OF them
who favor the changes proposed will not
assent 10 them on the eve of the tariff
fight.
The new Senator from Kan.ucky, Hon.
W J. Deboe, probably Will be sworn in to-
morrow.
The House programme contnmplates adj
iournments for three days from Monday
and Wednesday. Should the conference
report on the Indian appropriation bill
reach the House it will be considered. A
suggestion to take action on the bank
ruptcy bill passed by the Senate is being
thought over and may reach some definite
, shape before the close Of the week.

row No meeting of the committee as
originally intended will be held. The rea-
son given for this is the absence of Sena-
tor Platt, of Connecticut, member Of
the subcommittee on tariff.
a meeting probably will be held Tues
day The Republican members will. in the
meantime. continue their efforts to have
the Democrats fix time for reporting the
bill The latter, however persist in de-
claring that they will enter upon no agree
ment on this point until they shall see
the bin and have an opportunity to ex-
anime it.
The Republican subcommittee spent the
entire day working on the bill.
