f / 8’ POP Gil BUIS. He Says He Will Demand Action Upon Them by the Senate.. MANY SENATORS OPPOSE CHANGES Th# Su^ur Scbiilule Kegurdid m a V«r j Dangerous Thing to C« Tamper ing With at th* I’resont Tint*—The New Law* Washington, &ov, 18.—When the sen ate reconvenes on the first Monday ctf December unless the programme mapped out by certain senators should be rearranged there will probably be a cla£h on the tariff question. Sena tor Harris states -that he intends to push the supplemental tatlff bills for action osso on as possible after con gress convenes (which probably means after the holiday recess.) This is in accord with the statements he made on 'the floor of the senate at the tinie these so-called ‘‘pop-gun” tariff bills were referred to the finance comhiftleo* The bill relating -to free Iron ore, coal tmd barbed wire came back from the finance committee practically ns they went (there, but the bill placing su gar on the free list was pigeon-holed uhd a substitute-was reported placing a uniform duty of -10 per cent, on all eugans, thereby doing away with the differential one-elghtn duty that op erates to the advantage of the refiner, and the discriminating one-tenth duty tjrait operates against the German ex porter. Democratic senators, not among those classed as "conservative,” ex press doubts as to the desirability of at tempting to pass any of the tariff bills now on the senate calendar at the next session. One. of these sena tors appreciates the f«sfr thajt there are eadlng men in his own party who, nided and abetted by Republicans,* will use everyeffo rt to prevent the present sugar schedule from being amended, and that 4o attempt «t would result in nothing more than the consumption of valuable time that would be needed irt the consideration of measures upon which political* Cines would not bo drawn, and upon which the country Is demanding action by congress. To make sugar free, In view of the letter of Secretary Carlisle, and in view of the small receipts under the new law so far,, this senator insists Is ut terly impossible, and to seek n ‘change In the sugar schedule in any way, he thought, would be equally unwise, afl it would open up a new tariff debate and start; a flood of discussion that once loosened could.not be checked.

Just wihait iho expects to do tn Varztn or Frederichsruho Is not known, although In official circles he ls not supposed to bo seeking Bis marck's ndvlco as tho ministerial pol icy. The emlperor .planned tho visit, It ls believed, not so much to got Bis marck.s political views as to pfeaso tho German people wi th an act of cour tesy to their old klol. Tho Koelnlsoho Zcltung says In tin article concerning the significance of the meeting: . "Without attaching thigh political importance to itiho Interview, iwa fool that tho meeting would hear good fruits. It -would removo a stone ot stumbling from tho way of many well- meanlns Germans who have found It difficult to -harmonize their loyalty to the government with veneration for Bismarck." Although tho semi-official press rep resents tho prospective visit to Bis marck as a mere act of homage, ft will lie more. Prince Hohenlohe, whllo not seeking to ndaprhls own views to those of Blsmarok. will aim probably to se cure Bismarck's support or toleration of his poltolos tut homo and abroad. As Bismarck maintains relations with the most powerful German counts he ls ablo to Influence their decisions.
