Hale and Lodge Shove Date Forward to

Puzzles Bosses.

Washington, May 1S.-There Is still
as much speculation as ever as to the
time that congress will get through
with the new tarin bill. Men like
Hale and Lodge are showing the date
forward as far as the 18th of August.
Aldrich himself believes 1t will be
about the mid lie of July before the
bill reaches t.e president. The state
OF the weather may influence the situ-
alton to some extent and pressure
from the outside may also play a part.
You don't know what pressure is"
said Senator Aldrich the other day in
discussing the influence that is being
brought to bear to hurry the bill
through.
From every section of the country
demands are coming from business
men to pass some kind Of bill and
adjourn. Senator Clay of Georgia said
yesterday that he never knew busi-
ness condit iors in his state to be SO
had as they are now. and he attrib-

reports.

II there Is such a thing as public
sentiment reaching the senate, the bill
ought to be hurried along.
The consideration of the measure
has developed greater opposition on
the part of a dozen or so Republican
senators than was expected, ard sup
porters Of the bill feel that every pos
sible effort must be made to exhaust
their criticism and bring the bill to q
vote.
So far, however. taa1 have received
no encouragement frcgl the 'insur-
gents" and 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 Repub-
leans, and the opinion Is freely ex-
pressed that but for this antagonism q
day might soon be set which would
decide the fate Of the measure.
The discussion this week Will deal
with the various paragraphs which
have been passed over. but there will
be a few speeches on the general tar
