Fixing Time for Vote.

Washington, April 1.-The climax in the Houses consideration of the Payne bill, in all probability, will be reached soon after the House convenes tomor- row, when the committee on rules is expected to bring in an order fixing the time for taking the final vote on the bill. and providing regulations for tn introduction of amendments. This rule, when adopted, will automatically put an end to the general debate which has been in progress for the last fortnight.
 In view of the probability of the early adoption of this order both sides are making preparation for the con- sideration of the bill in it's final stages. There is still variety of opinions as to the time the bill will be given for the presentation and consideration of amendments. The time will be fixed by the committee on rules, but that committee will be guided entirely by the wishes of the committee ways and means, and it's members are very close mouthed on that point. Some are advocating final action immediately upon the presentation of the order, but the opinion is that the ways and means committee will feel called upon to per init an opportunity to discuss some at least of the large number of changes which 1t will suggest, and 1t is even contended that the vote will be post
  ever some of those who claim to be closest to the leaders contend that Wednesday has been definitely decided upon as the day for the vote. No one doubts that the fate of the bill in the House will be known before the end of the week and there Is just as little doubt that in some shape it will be passed. Under the rules of the House the order covering admendments and fixing the time for vote will be sub feet to discussion for 40 minutes only.
 Much interest will be centered in this proceeding as 1t is known that many republicans will cast their votes with some hesitancy. There are very few members who would not change some or it's features if they, as individuals, were making the bill and with some or tnem the issues involved are very sharp. That a sufficient number to carry the order has been assured is generally accepted, but all appreciate the possibility or un- expected defections and all believe tnat tho vote will be close. With the rule once adopted and fair chance given to vote upon some of the disputed points, the vote for the bill will be larger than that flor the order.
 Tho Senate will have nothing before 1t except the census bill until the tariff bill comes over from the House and is reported by the committee on finance. If Is expected that the Senate will ad- tourn from Monday until Thursday and if Is probable that on the later date the census bill will be reported and taken up for consideration.

NAPLES WILL WELCOME
 THEODORE ROOSEVELT T

Naples, April 4-The steamship Admiral, which is to carry ex-President Roosevelt to Mombassa, is lying in the harbor deco rated with flags, and the special quarters set aside for MT. Roosevelt anS his party are already showing evidence of the well come which awaits him. Numerous gifts of flowers for the distinguished American have already been sent to the ship, and tomorrow the remembrance of the German Emperor, In the shape of great masses of carnations, will be placed in MT. Roosevelt's cabin.
 The Hamburg is expected here some time near the hour of noon, and the for mer President will be greeted on board the steamer by the representatives of the city council, who will extend him an of ficial greeting, and party of ladies
The Birmingham age-herald., 1909-04-05

who literally will strew his path with roses. The German consul general will extend the personal greetings of the Elm peror. and Ambassador Griscom will rep resent the hundreds of Americans who have gathered at Naples, and who would like to meet the former President person ally, but who probably will not have an opportunity.
 The American yachts in the harbor, of which there are several. have their flags and bunting ready to dress the ships at the first appearance of the Hamburg, but the police precautions will be made strin- gent, and service boats will keep all craft at distance. MT. Roosevelt will not like ly remain on board the Hamburg long after it's arrival, as he will doubtless wish to make the most of the few hours of his stay in Naples. No fixed programme has been arranged as in all probability the ex-President will have decided views as to what he wishes to do.

Lumber Schedule Is the Clause of Bill That Is Giving
 Most Trouble
INSURGENTS ARE EAGER
 ID DEFEAT THE MACHINE
Tawnsy Believes That, With Demo- crats to Aid Him, He Can Get Enough Votes to Put Lum-
 ber on Free List

Washington, April 4--(Special )-With two sets of insurgents barking at It's heels, the House organization comes very nearly confessing tonight that It does not know which way to turn. The crux of the situation lies in the lumber schedule though the coal hides and iron ore schedules are more or less involved. When the Payne bill was first reported to the House cry at once came up from the group led by Representative Fordney of Michigan against the cut in the lumber schedule. They declared that they wanted the original duty restored and accord ingly have been urging the organization to allow a separate vote. believing that they could easily defeat the reduction on lumber.
 This faction, however, has about come to the conclusion that 1t is very doubt ful proposition, and are very fearful that lumber will go on the free list if such a vote is taken. They are therefore nti- mating to the rules committee pretty strongly that they will vote against the proposed rule disseminating general de- bate, and are asking all manner of con sessions.
 The House organization is willing to concede almost anything to get it's rule through except a vote on the Standard oil joker, and the increased beer tax. At this juncture, however Representative Tawney of Minnesota, who is leading the free lumber advocates on the republican side, notified the organization that the original agreement for vote on lumber must stand.
 As big majority of the democrats will vote for free lumber Representative Taw- ney believes he has enough republicans back of him to comprise a majority of the House, and vote lumber on the free list. The Tawney insurgents then say that if they cannot get such vote they will vote against the rule
 The organization headed by Speaker Cannon and Representatives Payne and Dalzel, are therefore in quandary They can buy one group of insurgents, but not both of them. There is conse- quently a very dsgusted membership of the rules committee.
 A little more general debate may allow matters to cool off somewhat In the meantime. the organization is trying to effect kind of compromise agreement that will put the bill through the House. trusting to Senator Aldrich to leave out what they put in and put in what they leave out.
