ft'AsmxoTON l'eb. 8. Tho day ses-
sions of tho republican inemlwrs of tho
ways nnd nico- committee which
linvo been le jgress for about two
Weeks hn- irought tho tariff bill
which Is laid before tho next
congress to .. s go whero tho charac-
ter of the measure enn be somcwhnt
gauged nnd where certain of the most
Important schedules nro definitely
fixed.
Yestcrdny's meeting was tho most Im-
portant of tho scries for it resulted In
tho frnmlng of tho agricultural sched-
ule which was mode n re-enactment of
tho MeKlnlcy lnw with few changes ex-
cept on unimportant products. Tho
most lmportnnt stop In connection
with this schedule was the establish-
ment of rates of ft n head on cattlo
more than ono year old nnd of '1H per
cent ad valorem on cattlo valued
at mora than 30 n bead. Tho
MeKlnlcy rntcs on other live stock
including tlio rntc of S'J on cattlo
of ono year old or less nro restored.
The Wilson rntes were SO per cent nd
vnlorem on live stock and while tho
new duty of .1 on cattle docs not reach
tho MeKlnlcy figure of 810 on cattlo
moro than one year old it's expected
that with the ad valorem on the moro
vnluablo grades. It will prove adequate
Ut shut out Mexican cntAlc. It Is
against the Mexican stock flint the in-
creaso Is particularly directed on tho
representations of ivestcrn cattlo men
that tholr business had been ruined by
tho Importations from Mexico under
tho Wilson law which nmonntcd to
moro thnn 200000 head.
Much Interest wns centered upon
barley which the committee puts back
to tho MeKlnlcy duty of 30 cents per
bushel because tho farmers contended
that tho Wilson tariff had turned over
tho market Into tho bands of tho Cana-
dians while tho maltsters who hnvo
been using Canadian barley have mado
a hard light against any Increase. Tho
MeKlnlcy rates havo been restored on
fruits nnd berries mainly for tho ben-
efit of the fruit growers of tho l'nclllc
coast. Tho fruit exchanges of tho
country had prepared a schedule of
rates below tho MeKlnlcy bill although
above the Wilson rates but they did
not succeed In having their schcdulo
adopted.
Among tho products In tho agricul-
tural schedule which are returned to
tho MeKlnlcy rntcs nro brcndstuffsnnd
rice dnlry products ments nnd ment
products eggs nnd poultry vegctnbles
and salt. Tlio demand of tho farmers
for tho McKlnley rate of JJl.OO a ton on
hay. Instead of tho Wilson rntc of S2.00
was granted. Chicory Is placed at ono
cent a pound In accordance wlUt tlio
requests of tho growers In tho central
states who bcllevo that they can cap-
ture tho home market with protection.
Throughout tho work tho policy of
establishing spcclfla rntes wherever It
was found possible to substitute them
for ad valorem has been followed. Tho
Interests of farmers It Is stated havo
been pnrtlculnrly observed In fixing
duties for tho purpo.se of protection.
On tho other hand tho Increases on
manufactured goods mast of them
havo been on higher grades of goods
and- those which nro considered lux-
uries. NEW TARIFF MEASURE.
Framers of the Law I!i pert It to Yield nn
Knoruious Jtevrnnr.
Washington l'eb. 5. The frnmcrs of
tho new tariff lnw nro counting upon
an lncrcnso of 00000000 In the reve-
nue above what Is yielded by tho pres-
ent law. Tho exact elements of this
Increase riinbt bo determined until
tho new measure Is moro nearly com-
plete than nt present but n rough
calculation can be mudo of the source
from which tho lncrcnso Is expected.
These may be stated as follows: Sugar
53000000; wool and woolens 818000-
000; tobacco 83000000; agricultural
products 3000000; spirits S.'000ooo;
llax hemp and their manufactures.
M.000000; cotton hosiery nnd other cot
tons 81 000000; citlnawaro and glass
2000000; miscellaneous Items 83000-
000. A deficit of 23203345 for tho
fiscal year 1890 nnd n probable deficit
of 830000000 for tho fiscal year 1H07
would bo moro than wiped outbyun
lnereaso of the revenue by tho amount
of 00000000 annually. It is probablu
that the surplus will bo much larger
by tho close of the fiscal year 1800 than
theso figures would Indicate.

plenty of tlmo to revoke the onlcr.
Somebody was saying to mo that tho

That is not the reason for Missouri

Wasiiixotox Feb. 10. Tho proceed-
ings connected with tho consideration
of tho treaty on Its merits by the sen-
ate in secret session were yestcrdny
far less varied and exciting than on
Monday and it wns Impossible to hold
tho senators In their scats while it
proceeded. Tho first two hours were
given to a 'sslon of the full reports
of Monday rr - Jiion that were
printed in tho" .. A r yesterday morn-
ing. Senator Vest sprung this subject
as soon as tho confirmations wcro dis-
posed of.
Tho time was devoted to a senatorial
discussion of tho methods of the mod-
ern newspaper which was moro In the
naturo of fault finding than In criticism
of their accuracy. Tho reports were
generally complimented for their ac
curacy and tho majority of the re-
marks were devoted to on effort to ex-
plain their appearance. Senator Vest
asserted that no ono but a trained
newspaper man could giro the pro
ceedings In rucU detail as sent out
by tho Associated press and con-
tended that an expert must bo em-
ployed somewhere In tho chamber.
Ho complained qutto bitterly ot tho
appearance of such reports ns deroga
tory to the dignity nt the senate. Ho
wan followed by Senators Halo and
Hoar in tho same strain. Senators
Grtlllngcr said that if ns full reports as
yesterday's wcro to bo given out It
would be better to open tho doors and
Invite tho world to bo present. Sena
tor Teller suggested tho wisdom In tho
absence of open sessions ot allowing a
lew selected reporters to be present.
saying thnt his experience with tho
profession wns such ns 1 1 convlnco him
that they could bo depended upon to
ucal lalrly and honorably with tlio
senate. Senator Hill did not fall to
take advantage of tho opportunity to
"point tho moral" as being that his
motion for open doors should havo been
adopted. When everyono hod talked
on this point who manifested a dis-
position to do so Senator Morgan was
permitted to proceed with his speech
on tho treaty as such.
Tho mott Important developments
concerning the consideration of the ar-
bitration treaty were tho offering of
nn amendment by Senator Morgan of
Alabnsna providing for tho abrogation
of tho Clnyton-llulwer treaty and the
speech of tho samo senator In favor of
tho proposition. Senator Morgan de-
clared the considerations which called
forth tho Clnyton-Uulwcr treaty had
long passed away. It van no longer
binding on cither nation nor was It of
any uso or value to this nation though
It might be ot Importance to Great
llrltaln In caso the Nicaragua canal
was constructed
Another Important amendment was
offered by Senator llacon of Georgia.
It provides for a mollification ot arti-
cle eight so us ta relievo tho southern
states from any obligation that might
arise nnder the bonds Issued in the re-
construction days. The amendment
was the result of a conference among
tho southern senators who concluded
the article as It nuw stands might ren-
der It posilblo to make these bonds
when held by subjects ot Great llrltaln
tho object of arbitration. Mr. llacon
sought an opportunity to address tho
senate on the etnendment but was pre-
vented by the fact that Senator Mor-
gan held the floor all day.
When Senator Morgan renewed his
remarks he stated the treaty before
the senate should be amended so as to
except In definite terms the Nicaragua
canal end everything relating ta that
enterprise. He dwelt at length "upon
this phase o: tho treaty nnd rend from
it number of tcports bearing upon tho
subject showing tho interest of tho
United htitcs in that part of tho con-
tinent which tho Benator declared.

could be mado with Great HrltnSn.
Mr. Morgan concluded his speech nt
at 5:30 but said ho would discuss other
phases of tho treaty before a vote was
reached.

gration bill by an overwhelming ma-
jority (317 to 38) and passed two moro
pension bills of tho class known as "re-

DRADSTREET'S REPORT. .
Lark of Demand for Iron and Steel The
Ch-ck to Itnslness Fnltarrs.
Nr.w Yoiik Feb. 0. Ilradstreet's re-
port says:
Trade which sras retarded bj unfarorahls
weather a week aeo. has recovered somewhat
at Chattanooga Memphis. Birmingham and
New Orleans. Whllo the cold weather cut Into
tho stocks of henry goods It delayed the sale ot
spring goods. Other relatively favorable trade
reports am from St Panl Minneapolis Chi
cago and SL Louis. At most centers Jobbers
report business quiet or unchanged with no
prospect of Immediate Improvement
The restriction ot the production of cotton
goods has not strengthened the market or ad-
vanced prices ahead. The heavy Increase In
sales of wool 40.OUO.000 pounds at Iloston at
one time since January against 5I.Oj0.000
pounds last year Is based largely on the exe-
cution of a high duty on wool.
One of the most unsatisfactory Industrial
features is the lack of demand for Iron and
steel prices of which In the central western
states have gotten below nominal quotations.
Tho check to the number ot badness failures

for the present week 005 throughout the United
States as compared with 3.1 last week 33 In
