FID Of DEBATE
THIS WEEK IF
ALL GOES WELL
Final Stage of the Tariff Bill in
The Senate Said to Have
Been Reached.
soWE IMPORTANT ITEMS
YET TO BE CONSIDERED
,uss7IoN OF MAXIMUM AND
MINIMUM RATES NOT
SETTLED.

washington. June 13.-The feeling in
80. ,s,ate is that the tariff bill is ap-
--,.binp the last days Of its consider
-, in the senate. Senator Aldrich is
,.,afsI that the end may be reached
- ,sr+ Saturday, and many conserva-
dive Republicans are inclined to agree
with this prediction.
The progressive Republicans" are
81, mite SD optimistic, but Senator
o.-srf5pa saws the final vote will not
:. 1ostpoued beyond the end of next
seek ,
-bs income tax amendments will be
.stsn NO Friday and a vote may be
.ss,hed on the proposition the same
s.v It is possible, however, that eff
s,-+s NAV be made TO secure a still
farther p0stp0nement Of a vote.
with the exception of one disputed
ront in the silk schedule, the senate
Isl week concluded it's second consid-
srstion Of the bill and disposed of all
rarsgraphs Of the schedules on which
iba committee had reported.
Among the more important provisions
stII TO be considered are those pertain
Inc 10 lumber. wood pulp, print paper,
H5e. coal. zinc, window glass, scrap
iron. cotton ties, cotton bagging, ieath-
en- leather goods. binding Irvine and pc
roeum.
Rough lumber remains on the dutia-
BE list but the question of the amount
Of duty and the differential between
d
Manufactured article to be settled.
The Paper Schedule.
In tbe paper schedule the principal
tiers 70 be considered are the duty
on ground wood and print paper. II
seems probable that the ground wood.
or pulp, viii be left free, but that the
rate on paper viii be made 81 per ton
Instead Of s. as fixed by the house. or
S as 81 the present law.
Hides coal and petroleum are giving
the finance committee no little concern,
bat the present indications are that the
senate vii place a duty on all Of these.
Zinc, zinc ore and zinc in blocks, pigs
and sheets and other zinc products are
still to be considered. as are sulphate
q ammonia and barytes.
Demands for Reduction.
There is demand for a reduction
under a reclassification Of the window
glass schedule but any prediction as to
he result would be misleading. The
ama may be said of the contest be-
tween pig iron and scrap iron in the
naiai schedule.
The southern senators are making an
'amest though, probably as il now ap-
laTs, an unsuccessful effort to have
oiion ties and cotton bagging made
nee OF duty, and the binding Irvine
loyision has been held uD until the
"iion tie question could be decided,
Nooa0ly on the theory that the north
western senator's could be prevailed
UPON 20 combine with the southern
~.aiolS I'm the interest of the two ar
..e together. The leather schedule,
aldlng leather itself and leather
s'oas' is suspended awaiting the de-
aa0n on hides.
VJner important articles which re-
YEN undecided are pineapples. on

II ingredients i'm the nantes of in
