It has siarted a fight among the Republicans that may result in killing the tariff bill as well as the Republican party, although, of course, the chances are that the differences wi!l be patched rp in some way and a bill of some sort put through at this session of Congress, That the fight is now raging is shown by the opeu threats of the New England Senators to stay in Washing- ton all summer rather than see the duty on hides, which the Senate finance Committee bas put in the bill, remain in the bill, and these Seuators are already trying to Democratic Senators to promise to vote with thei to strike out the duty on hides when the bill is voted upon by sections in the Senators whe get Senate. ‘Lhe western forced the duty on hides iato the bill, bave informed the New Enoglanu Senators chat they were net going to stand idly ty and see that duly on hides struck out of the bill, when they coulu get even by combing with the Dewocrats and adopun, un ment providing for a horizontal reduc~ Abend tion in ail cotton, woulun and steel munutactures. Keprescutave Gros-~ venur, of Ubi, says of the bew vid, tur that is whatit practieally is: “su tar aa relates to tue Wool sclicdule, the bill is unsatisfactory, and cannot be passed. 1 do not believe it can puss the Seuate; and I know ic canuot pass the House.

Senator Jones, of Ark., who is regarded asa tariff expert as well as one of the most careful political ob- gervers of the tine, said of the present situation: “This tariff bill means the aisruption of the Republican party: "The taxes impoted by it will be resent- ‘ed by the people. New England will certainly go Democratic on the ques— tion of a daty on hides, but the lesson that will be teught by. this one item “might be wpplied to every other sechon of the country. “The next House ot i WTR Cy sepa gery. large majority.” Senatoy Jones, in reply toa question, said he thought the debave on the tariff bill, sh is to yegin on the 18th inst. uld last until about the first of ie hi if ee i eee ba hg ak " nn ‘ 1 me ve 4 At hs ral disposition in Oon- into effect, and unless all the Congres- sivnal prophets ave away off the date assignments of Republicans to the com— mittee vacancies made by the Kepubli- whole thing in the Senate whatever he way have been iu the campaign or may -|be with the administration. even get a chairmanship. other Republicans left without chair - manships are Pecrose, of Pa,; and Dobee, of Ky., who took his seat this down by the Republicans, He wanted a place on the Finance Committee, aud is doing a lot ot kicking because he didn’t get it. treaty ths week by a vate, of 43 to 26.
