THE WEEK IK COHORESS.
The T.I in It ml Debate on the Now Tariff
Hill Formally Opened.
Washington, March 22. The program
ot the tariff debate, which opened In
the house today. Is simple, but ardu
ous. ThVy will sit from 10 o'clook In
the' rnornlnR unUl 11 o'clock at night.
with a recess from 6 until 3 each day
for dinner. The treneral debate will
clone Thursday night. Beginning Fri
day the 'bill will be read for amend
ment under the five minute rule until
3 o'clock on the following Wednesday,
March 31, when the bill and, pending
amendments will be voted upon. The
committee on ways and means, by the
terms of the special order under which
the house will operate, will have tho
right of way In the matters of amend
ments, nnd such amendments ean at
any time supercede pending amend
ments of Individual members, a pro
vision made to give the committee the
fullest power to perfect their bills.
The debate was opened by Mr. Ding
ley, the chairman of the ways and
means, for the majority. Either Mr.
Bailey, of Texas, the selected leader
of the minority, or Mr. McMlllln, of
Tennessee, will reply. Mr. Bailey has i
tendered to Mr. McMillan this privilege
In deference to his long service on the
ways and means committee, but It la
not yet decided whether the latter will
avnll himself of the proffer. The night
sessions of the house during the 'gen
eral debate will be given up almost
entirely to se.t speeches by new mem
bare, who desire to get their views In
The Congressional Record for the ben
efit of their constituents.
When the Wilson bill was under con
sideration the time at the night ses
sions was not consumed, and there Is
likely to be a repetition of lack of
speakers on this occasion, as members
under the order are given leave to
print, and many of them will take ad
vantage of this opportunity, without
taking the floor.
The senate will devote the major
portion of the week to the consider,
atlon of the Anglo-American arbltra
tlon treaty. If the appropriation bills
which have passed the house as they
were agreed upon In the last session
should be reported to the senate they
probably will receive prompt atten
tion. There Is a possibility that these
bills may not be taken- up immediately
In committee, owing to the absence of
some committee members.

Houses.
FIGHT AGAINST THE POOL BILL I
Should It Pass tbe Senate It Will Probably
Meet Death In the House-Seme of (the
Hew Measures Introduced A
Record Breaking Ses
sion Probable.
Special Herai.i, correspondence.
Harrlsburg, March 28. The record o!
the legislature at this period of the ses
sion Is 743 bills Introduced In both houses
and 284 petitions presented praying foi
all sorts of legislation. Of the bills In
troduced Into the house 2S9 are out of
committee and on the calendar, and 209
Mils have reached the governor, and
three of the house bills have been
signed by him and become a law.
One of these 1b known as house bill
No. 12, which provides for the classi
fication of real eBtate and other prop
erty for purposes of taxation and elec
tion of assessors In cities of second
class for not more than five nor less
than three assessors: also house bill
No. 4. providing for the election of
prothonotarles, recorders and registers
and the manner ot filling such offices
In case of death or vacancy, and house
bill No. 20, authorizing the burgess and
town council of the borough ot Sharps
burg, Allegheny county, to levy a tax
not exceeding 16 mills on the dollar on
the assessed county valuation for the
year. Among those now in the hands
of the governor which have not
been approved, as they but recently
came Into his hands, Is an act author
izing the courts ot quarter sessions to
declare the seats of councllmen va
cant when they fall to organise for ten
days. A number of bills which have
passed the house and senate have been
sent to the governor this week.
There has been very considerable
work done during the past week, and
the majority of the bills on the cal
endar have been disposed of on second
and third reading, and with the same
Industry expended during this week
they will have a number of bills ready
for the governor's consideration.
Fight Against the Fool lllll.
"What Is known as the pool bill, which
waB Introduced In the senate some
time ago and reported from commit
tee, was pushed forward last week, so
as to pass third reading by a vote of
29 to 13. It gives six months' license
to the race track gamblers, to Inaugu
rate a feature that will, according to
Its opponents, he productive of more
evil and do more to demoralize society
than almost anything else that could
be named. If it should pass the Senate
the house will, by a good majority, kill
It. It is, they say, a bill that should
be protested against by all good think
ing people, to prevent, if possible, the
inauguration of pool racing and other
forms of gambling in Pennsylvania.
Among the resolutions offered dur
ing the week was one asking for an
Investigation of the repairing of Grace
church, the building now occupied by
both branches of the legislature. In
this resolution It was charged that the
state paid for thousands of feet of
lumber that was never used, and that
in some Instances the price charged
for the lumber was $65 per thousand,
when It Is claimed that the same lum
ber could be purchased at $15 per
thousand. Investigations have become
so frequent and unpopular that the
house decided to dispose of this case
by referring it to the public buildings
and grounds committee. This will be
taken up during this week, and an ef
fort made to ascertain if there has
been any fraud perpetrated.
Among the features that have de
veloped since my last letter In legls
Iatlve circles were the introduction of
three more reform bills In the house
and senate. These prohibit city offi
cials and, corporations from Interfer
ing in politics, prevent political assess
ments and compel every man to pay
his own taxes. The punishment in
the political assessment bill Is a fine
of $500 or one year In prison, and in
that In relation to the payment ot
taxes for another. person than the elec
tor against whom the tax has been
assessed the punishment is a fine of
$000 or six months' Imprisonment.
The civil service reform bill, which
applies only to the counties of Phila
delphia, Allegheny, Schuylkill and Lu
zerne, passed the senate within the
past few days. This bill will meet with
considerable opposition In the house,
as it ts denounced by those who are
opposed to It as unjust and unfair,
and capable of being manipulated by
the bosses.
The house bill authorising the su
perintendent ot public Instruction to
furnish every school In Pennsylvania
with a copy of Smull's Legislative
Handbook, after a spirited debate,
passed finally by a vote ot 108 to 55.
The Amended Oapltol Hill.
The houae bill providing that the
material used in the construction of
the proposed capitol building shall be
furnished by Pennsylvania Arms and
corporations, and that none but citi
zens of Pennsylvania be employed In
the construction of tlio building, was
amended by striking out the word
Pennsylvania and substituting In its
stead "United States," and will now
no doubt pass both houses in Its pres
ent form. In the discussion of this
measure the opposition to Governor
Hastings' plan to construct a new
capitol building at a cost of $550,000
took advantage of this occasion to de
nounce the absurdity of his estimate.
There seems to be a disposition to pro
long the settlement of the construction
ot a new capitol building, although
a resolution was offered recently to
that effect. Something should be done
very soon to pass a hill designating
tbe kind of a capitol to be built, and
tie cost, so as to have it completed
and ready for use by the next legis
lature. Amontr the bills that passed the
house finully was one for the protec
tion i.f public school houses and other
buildings used and occupied for public
school purposes, outbuildings thereof
and public property; authorizing
courts of common pleas to dlreot and
decree the sale of real estate nf in
solvent debtors by their assignees for
ine pnmem or. aebt and JheH
