Show SENATE EXPECTS TO FACE WOOL SCHEDULE Washington, June 6. Having acted upon most of the vexed questions In the cotton schedule last week, the senate sen-ate expects to complete this schedule on Monday or Tuesday. This will bring tho senate face to face with the wool schedule, which is practically a re-enactment of the Dingley rates, but which, nevertheless, will be fought by the "progressive Republicans," aided by Democratic senators. As night sessions will be bold throughout the week, indications point to completions of the woolen schedules by Thursday or Friday. No program has been outlined as to schedules to be taken up next, but It is probable that some work will be done upon tho free list. The finance committee has been called to meet at 9:30 Monday to outline the policy of the senate so far as it is concerned. The date will be fixed also for tho reporting re-porting of amendments on a number of questions not acted upon in cotton. On account of tho progress made last week, senate leaders are predicting that the bill will be voted on in tho senate by June 19 and that congress will be ready to adjourn before July 4th. |
