CONDENSATION or TARIFF ELL
DEVELOPS GREATER oPPosi-
TON THAN EXPECTED.
DEMOCRATS ARE REASONABLE
Senate Lensthens Its Sessions In Hope
Of Reaching Final Action and
Ending Discussions Of varl.
Gus Disputed schedules.

Washington. ID. C.-Beginning Mon.
day the daily slttings or the senate
will commence at 10 o'clock in the
morning. This has been advanced In
the hope Of expediting final action on
the tarlff bill by more rapidly dispos-
ing OF the long speeches as well as Of
the detailed discussion OF the various
disputed schedules.
The consideration OF the measure
has developed greater opposition on
the part Of n dozen or 30 OF Republl-
can senators than was expected and
the supporters Of the bill feel that
every possible effort must be made to
exhaust their criticism and bring the
bill TO a vote.
So far. however. they have receiv.
cd no encouragement from the in
surgents." and the Republican leaders
are quite in the dark as TO when the
end may be reached. Indeed, they
are finding less difficulty on that
point in dealing with the Democrats,
than IN dealing with the independent
Republicans and the opinion is freely
expressed that but for this antagonism
n day might soon be set which would
decide the fate Of the measure.
Depew on General Question.
The discussion this week viii deal
with the various paragraphs which
have been passed over. but there will
be n few speeches on the general
tarlff question. including one by Sen.
ator Depew. which probably will be
delivered during the day.
Senator Clay has prepared and will
deliver, probably on Tuesday an
elaborate speech criiicising the sugar
schedule and undertaking to show that
Il is in the interest Of the sugar com.
binatlon. The razor schedule will re.
ceive first attention tomorrow and
Senator Simmons win continue his
efforts to have the rate lowered.
Senator Bailey will continue TO
press his demand for n vote on the
income tax. as a feature Of the tariff
bill; but II Is an open secret around
the senate that he Is not now nearly
so confident OF successful result Of
such a vote as he was in the begin.
ming Of the agitation.
Indeed he has conilded to some Of
his friends his conviction that some OF
the advocates of tax have been
picked or" by the enemy. The gen.
eral opinion among the supporters
Of the income tax policy is that the
cause In the senate has been materi-
ally weakened by the decision Of the
president not TO press for the tax.
Vote Not Expected This Week.
At any event II Is not probable that
a vote on the question will be reached
this week.
In the house. an attempt will be
made to pass the Philippine tariff bin
to-day and the Porto Rican bill on
Thursday. The latter measure was re-
ported Monday. Both bills will arouse
discussion, but II is not believed there
will be any stubborn opposition to
either and tho committees having
them In charge are confident OF dis
posing of each after day Of debate.
