Prospects of the Measure in tho
Lowor Branch of Congress.
CONGRESSMAN OATOHINGS' VIEW.
He Hi.ll.-Tr. That Month Will Elapie
llefnre the 1IIII Is Finally lnt to a Vote
on Final rastage -Remote l'oislblllty of
Farther Filibustering.
Washington, July fi. In the midst of
Intense excltement,nt 10:41 Tuesday night,
after having been debated for three
months and one day, the tariff bill,
amended to take effect Aug. 1, 18D4,passed
the senate by n Vote of M to 80 a strict
party vote, except Mr. Hill, who voted
with tho Republicans ngalnit the meas
ure. The Populists divided their strength,
two Messrs. Kyle and Allen voting in
frtvor of the bill, and two Messrs. Peffcr
and Stewart voting against It.
With the tariff bill passed by the sen
ate attention Is now directed to the action
of the house. In view of this fact Repre
sentative Catching!, who, with Speaker
Crisp ntid HepresCntatlve Outhwaite, con
stttuto the Democratic members of the
rules, or "steering" committee, was asked
to outline the course of proceeditre In the
houso and what would be dono to expe
dite the bill to Us final vunotment. Bald
Mr. Catching: "Mr. Wilson will be given
every assistance at the command of tho
rules committee. There has been uo con
fcrence with blm, ami no exact program
Is arranged, but ho will be given such
support an he desires at successive stages,
"The bill will reach the speaker's table
todny. Tomorrow It will be formally re
ferred to the ways and means committee.
Saturday I think they will report It back to
the house with a recommendation of non-
concurrence in the senate amendments,
and for a conference. It Is probable, there
fore, that the conferees can bo appointed,
and the conference sessions actually
opened by Saturday of this week."
Mr. Catchings then took up each step of
legislative progress, explaining the possi
bilities of delay and the manner of over
coming It. "The llrat step made by Mr.
Wilson for a reference to the ways and
meanB commit te6 Is formal, nnd will prob-
ably bo agreed to at once without debate,
Hut there is tho possibility of some com
merit and discussion at that time. There
is no rule to prevent it. Some member
may rise with an unexpected proposition
for disagreement with the senate, without
reference to committee or for instructions
to the committee. Hut such moves are
hardly probable. The usual and regular
course would be to refer the bill to Mr.
Wilson's committee. And if the course
was Interrupted a special rule would be
brought in to bring the question to a vote
at once.
"When the committee makes Its report
recommending a conference there Is again
nu opportunity for discussion. But again
a special rule will operate to let the house
vote on the simple proposition of whether
It wishes to disagree with the senate, bo
that either with or without a rule tho
vote will undoubtedly by reached, the
conferees appointed by tho speaker and
the conference under way by Saturday.
"When the conference begins," contin
ued Mr. Catchings, "they may make oc
casional reports on such agreements as
are reached. In the meantime the senate
and house will proceed with their regular
business. A conference report Is always
privileged, so that tho conferences can
come In at any time and secure immedi
ate hearing, either on partial agreements
or an agreement throughout. As to how
long they will take Is problematic. It may
be ten days or two weeks, with occasional
reports of partial progress in the mean
time. "The last stage will be when the con
ferees report to the houso. At that time
there will be more or less debute. But
when the conferees present a definite prop
osition there will bo a special rule, if need
be, to bring the proposition to a vote,
There will be no nibbling at the bill, and
no long debate when the main point is to
have the houso express its wishes by a
vote.
"Tho only possibility of delay Is through
filibustering, but I have never known of
a filibuster against a tariff bill, and it is
hardly a remote possibility in the present
case.
"With the house voting promptly on nil
propositions," concluded Mr. Catchings,
"there ought not to be much delay in com
pleting the bill. I hardly think, however,
that we will be through with our work so
as to adjourn by August 1, although it
will not be much beyond that time."
It is tho geuerul understanding that
when the senate meets tomorrow there
will be only a brief session, and that tuu
senate will then adjourn until Monday. It
is quite probable that there will not be a
quorum in the senate again this week.
The resolution of Senator Kyle, Intro
duced at the request of tho striking rail
road men, Is regarded as sure to cause de
bate, and seuutors who expect to speak on
it understand that it will go over until
Monday.

House Was the Town Haved from Uttir
Destruction,
HUDSON, Mass., July 5. Shortly before
4 o'clock yesterday afternoon the most
disastrous flro this section of the country
has ever seen broke out In Chamberlain's
Ice factory. When discovered It had
gained considerable headway, and with a
strong wind blowing the flames soon
weu,t beyond tho reach of the locnl fire
men and spread with wonderful rapidity,
the factory being burned to tho ground
within half mi hour.
One cause for the rapid spread of the
fire Is assigned to the explosion of several
barrals of naphtha and oil used In the
hoe business. Within an hour tho flames
had spread to the Union depot, the public
telephone office and Hlgglns' shoe fartory.
The firemen were perfectly helpless, anil
assistance was summoned from surround
ing cities and towus. The postoillee. with
Its contents, was totally destroyed, and
the loss In tho departments cannot be
fixed. It is known, however, that several
registered nncknues arrived on the morn-
I lng mall and were not delivered on ac
count of the holiday.
I'orty dwelling houses were destroyed,
together with their contents. The fire
men worketl with a will, but their efforts
seemed to be In vain, and It was finally
found necessary to blow up a number of
houses to save tho entire town from de
struction. The loss Is estimated between
50,000 and $1,000,000. It is said to be
mostly insured. The Boston fire depart
ment assisted.
