Pcttigrew TaIkr for silver Senators.

NEW YORK. March 12-Senator Petit
grew. of South Dakota, in interview
here to-day said: THE five silver Repub-
lican senators will not do anything to
delay or hinder the adoption of protec-
tive tariff law. There are number of
Democrats who will be just as considerable.
If there is attempt TO reorganiZe the
Senate we may be in session all summer,
and If there Is serious effort 10 seat the
three new senators that have been APP
pointed y great breach will he opened and
the tariff and everything else may be lost
sight of. There Is also some talk of pass
ing other legislation than tariff and appro-
priatiOns. Ii is my opinion that il is tacit-
ly understood that the Senate will not be
reorganized. that the new senators by APP
pOintment will not be seated and that there
will be no general legislation. In that
event the way is clear TO an early passage
of the tariff law"
