BY JOE DEGANAHL. By Radio to The Star and New York Times. ON BOARD BARQUE CITY OF NEW YORK, AT SEA, March 9 (Sunday).— With good luck the City of New York will arrive in Dunedin tomorrow eve- ning. We have been waiting for the day when we could say that for many months, and now, with a strong wind on our port beam, we are striking out on the last day’s run for the coast and all it promises. The outlook for an early arrival to- morrow was mnot bright last night. Shortly after noon yesterday the wind hauled around to the north, and we were forced to take in all sail and steam as best we could against a strong head wind and sea. By sunset the wind had increased, and we were making a dis- couraging three knots toward a goal which still seems unreal. Yet there | was reality in the welcome heavy rain which was falling last night, the first we have sen since we sailed south. It seemed to tell us that we were close to the many little experiences which once seemed inconsequential. This morning when we went on deck we found all sail set and a clear biue y. The wind had backed around on the mld-wl!ch and sent us hurrying on again in coastal waters, which now seem more hospitable. At noon we were 150 miles from Tairoa Heads, the en- | trance to Dunedin Harbor. If the wsnd\ holds we should reach there tomorrow | afternoon. It is a three-hour run up the harbor to Dunedin and our first chance to put our feet on ground, the first that most of us have touched since we left that port on December 2, 1928.

A President Hoover has urged Congress m business may be the better able to stabilize ltlelf lt has been the hope of many of the Republicans that it would be possible to send to the President a bill, written in conference, more nearly conforming to the Presi- dent’s recommendation for a “limited revision” of the tariff. ~But with the new Senate combination steaming ahead, the prospects do not seem to good for such a consummation. - Even if the bill carries increases in duty which the President does not consider to veto a measure for which agriculture and business have waited for a year. Should the flexible provisions be re- tained in the bill when it is sent to him, however, there would be in the Presi- dent’s hands the power to reduce inor- dinately high ntes of duty by 50 per cent. ‘The new combination has adopted a policy of supporting rates of duty slightly lower than those which were defeated on sugar, cement, oil and lum- ber when the bill was in committee of the whole. This policy seems-to have been wisely conceived, for it gives an opportunity for Senators to change their positions and vote for increases in duty without doing mo much violence to their earlier ai of Coloudo for ex- original proposal, defeated in the com- mittee of the whole, so that the rate will be 80 cents a barrel instead of $1.

The troubled relations of Senator Grundy with the Senate were compli- cated yesterday by a demand that the Pennsylvania Republican be required to remove from his office those who worked with him in the old American ‘Tariff League News Bureau. Senator Harrison, Democrat, Missis- sippi, took this course off the floor in a visit to Chairman Moses of the rules committee. Moses replied that he was accepting Grundy’s word that all those u gt he could not enforce a ‘“censor- p.” There the issue rested last night. ‘were rumors of an attempt 1o | pee ‘There get the Senate to act but no one has come forward with a resolution.

The Senate still has before it the resolution of Senator Nye, Republican, North Dakots, to bar Grundy from his seat because of his connections with the $2,000,000 Pennsylvania Republican primary of 1926.
