Tariff Will Be Senate's
Entire Bill Of Fare.
Strong Fight to Prevent Lum-
Der Going on Free List.
Twelve Hours Per Day Is Program
For This Weeks Sessions.

Washington, May 23.-The Senate
program for this week includes nothing
but the tariff. The sessions will con-
tlnue to begin early and there is now
a possibility that they will not only
las until late in the day, but that they
viii be heightened into the night. 1t is
proposed IN case of night sittings that
the daily sessions shall begin lat II in
tie morning and end at II at night.
No plan for operation has been out
lined beyond that of hammering away
at the various schedules persistently
as possible. This is Aldrich's prografn
and nothing but set speeches or cap
tious oppositions by other senators
viii cause him to deviate from it.
The lumber schedule, which was TAX
en- up yesterday. will Monday continue
to receive attention and it is expected
that Hayburn of Idaho will conclude
the speech he has already begun. He
is pleading zealously for a high duty
on lumber. while his neighbor. McCum-
Dor Of North Dakota, is just as earn
estly exorting himself to prevent the
imposition of any duty wheatever on
that article. The prospect is still one
Of much controversy.
With the lumber paragraphs disposed
OF, the finance committee Will under
take to have the Senate go back and
gather UP the odds and ends of the
tariff bill which have been passed
over. with a view to cleaning up as
much of the measure as possible be-
fore tie cotton and wool schedules are
reached on which there will be much
az. ~ 4 ~,
probable. however. that either Of these
schedules will be reached during the
present week.
AldriCh viii continue to urge that a
day Re fixed for taking the final vote
ON the bill He is not sanguine of i'm
mediate success and discourages all
morbid prophecies of an all summer
session.
If a quorum is not present at either
the Monday or the Thursday sessions
of the House no attempt will he made
to transact business. If quorum
should assemble on either day, the
Philippine tariff bill and the Porto Rico
bill will receive attention.
Washington, May 23.-Among the
early this week in the Senate will be
that Of putting lumber on the free list.
1t was stated upon high authority to-
night that poll of the Senate shows
overwhelming sentiment against such
action.
The Pacific coast senators contend that
the House duty on rought lumber is too
low, and they are supporting the reten-
ton of the present rate at 81 thousand
feet An effort is being made to compro-
mise on $3.50 per thousand feet for rough
lumber and small differential on dressed
lumber. On the latter s. per thousand
feet has been suggested.
1t is expected that after the vote has
been taken on the question of putting
lumber on the free list no further action
viii be taken until the COMMITTEE has
again considered the subject with view
TO harmonizing the differences between
