THE SENATE TARIFF BILL ,
Lite this afternoon a caucus of Re
publican senators was held for th
purpose of consulting as to the conrs
to bo pursued by the Republicans rel
o I alive to the pending tariff bill. Th
jjoot of tariff legislation was fully
ouicd In the lightof recent Ultima-
. .otis from the houao that no tariff bill
can pi s that body at this session ,
nnd thn opinion prevailed that the
senate thould not bo inllu need to de
viate from I's ' present linn of policy
through nny npprohenaion that the
house might refuse to accept its
worlc. It WAB resolved to cuntinuo
consideration of the bill during the
remainder of the week , and to nnko n
vigoro-is effort to secure its comple
tion. The unanimous fooling was that
the oonato ahotild not nbnudon the
bill on account of nny di ubt that
might bo felt na to what the houao
would do ritU it. The fooling waa
very hopeful for easy passage of the
bill , eomo acnntors being of the opin
ion that by aitting late onch evening
the bill oin bo completed by Satur
day night.
