Should it be finally disposed of this week, it is al together probable that Congress will take a recess, as many of the Senators and Representatives are anxious to take part in the closing days of the | various state campaigns, and the new { tarifl bill is not expected to be ready | to be reported to the House much if any before the beginning of the regu- lar session.

Should that be done there will be a very lively debate, entirely outside of party lines, as it has friends and oppo- i nents in both parties, and the result will be doubtful, the chances favoring defeat. Four Democratic Senators—-Martin of Kans, Hill of N. X., Vance of N. C, and Irby of 8. C-voled against the confirmation of the nomiuation of Mr. J. J. Van Alen, to be Ambassa- dor to Italy, but as ten Republicans voted for confirmation the nomination got through by a vote of 30 to 24. No Senator, either Democratie, Republi- ean or populist, believes that there was any truth in the charge that Mr. Van Alen had been nominated as the result of a bargain avd in payuieat for his having made a large contribution to the eampalgn fund of the party. The Democrals who voted against his confirmation did so for other reasons.
