both sides of the house were the order Of
today. 1t being generally conceded that
general debate on the tariff bill would
terminate at noon on Monday, when the

hour upon which the vote shall be taken
for the passage OF the Payne tariff bill
and providing for record votes on free
lumber and free hides.
While the majority and minority whips
have been busily engaged in rounding up
their sides for a battle royal on Monday
the so-called republican insurgents and the
Fitzgerald mugwumps have been holding
secret caucuses with view of ascertain

to approximately gauge the temper OF the
house membership.
