Washington, .. c., March 1.-The
power behind Lorimer, which has
been able to overcome an apparent
majority of about fifteen reached
elimination late yesterday when il
overcame the Unprecedented repug-
nance on the part of certain demo-
Gratis against a tariff commission
and drove with the republican insur-
gents a bargain by which the tariff
commission is made the unfinished
business of the senate, in return for
an agreement to fix / 80 O'Clock this
afternoon as the hour for vote on
the Lorimer; case. x<..,
This was Accomplished at late
hour and ended the night and day
of filibustering on the Lorimef~case
lin the senate. This agreement is re-
garded as a surrender on the part of
certain democratic : senators who
have been announcing undying oppo
! sition, even to the point of filibuster,
against the tariff commission bin,
So great was~their desire to have the
present senate vote on retaining Mr..
Lorimer in the senate that they
sunk their opposition to the great
| progress which the tariff commission
bill was sure toamake by reason of
the bargain.
/ 1t was notable that in all of this
negotiating and jockeying for advan-
tage. the presidents reciprocity spaci
with Canada and its fate were ap
parentely entirely forgotten.

extra session. Many senator's. az

keeps in closest touch with all that
goes on, declare that the extra ses-
sion seems just as certain today as it
did yesterday. They could not see
CLEAN of hope that way could
possibly be found to avert an extra
session This talk ~. while
probably put out for purpose,
agrees however with. the, judgment of
those who have watched. the closing
agonies of many congress, and who
agre that in all their experience they
have never seen SO many big appro-
priation bills, jammed up in commit
tee as there is at this date at this
present session. Senator Hale hopes
to remedy this. situation by few
forced morning and night sessions,
but he pointed out to the senate that
at the best rate of progress the two
greatest appropriation bills. sundry
civil and naval. would have to be |
left over to Saturday morning.
Beginning with this mornings |

vailed in the senate chamber ana |
