Will Not Stand in th Way of Tariff Legislation. New York, March 12. Senator Pet- tlgrew, of South Dakota, said today in an interview-: 'The first rilver republican senators Mantle, Jones of Nevada, (,'annon, Tel- ler and myself will not do anything to hinder the adoption of a protective tariff law. There are a number of dem ocrats who will be Just as considerate If there Is an attempt to organize the senate we may be in session all sum mer, and If there is a serious effort to seat the three new- senators that have been appointed, a great breach will be opened and the tariff and ev- erythlng else may be lost sight of. There Is also talk of passing other leg islation than the tariff and appropria tions. It Is my opinion that It is un derstood that the senate will not be recojnlxed; that the new senators by appointment will not be seated, and that there will be no general legisla tion. In that event the way Is clear' for the early passage of a tariff law. ANOTHER BIG RAFT. San Francisco, March 1. Captain H. B.
