, . THE°EVEN1NG1GAZETTE TAHH'H HILL HHHHHLHH The Senate Finance Committee Flooded With Remonstmnces. AN EFFORT TO DODGE THEM. The Democratic .Members of-the Commit- tee ‘Vill Be Asked to Agree to Have the Bill Reported at Once \Vith- out Action inf Full Committee. Washington, April 26.—The Repub- lican members of the finance commit- tee of the senate have.decided to appeal to their Democratic colleagues on the committee to allow the tariff bill to be reported to the senate without passing through the hands of the 'full committee or in default of this to agree to a re— port after one formal session. They will take an early opportunity to present the matter to the Democratic members of the committee. The Republican senators make no ef— fort to conceal the fact‘that their rea- son for preferring this request is the desire to avoid the importunity that would result from making the bill pub— lic before reporting it to the senate. With the bill once out-Of the hands of the committee, the members of the committee will be as powerless as any other senators to make amendments and hence will be comparatively free from the pleadings of those whose in- terests may be affected by the changes proposed. They tell their friends that they have had a foretaste of what would ensue upon the publication of all the changes from what has occurred since the amendments made on hides, lead ore, etc., were made known a few days ago. The publication of these amendments has had the effect of flooding the com- mittee with remonstrances and re— quests for hearings. They fear that the giving of publicity to all the schedules as changed will have the effect of in- creasingthese representations tenfold. The members of the committee, while still refusing to make public any of the details of their work, admit that their alterations are numerous and farreach- ing in effect and therefore of a charac- ter to call forth many objections. They also admit that while they have made some increases in rates the great bulk of the changes have been in the way of reductions from the house figures. The additions have been granted only as a result of the most persistent pleading by senators and where they were be- lieved to be necessary to secure votes. The Democratic members of the com- mittee have not yet formally received the proposition and say they are not prepared to indicate what their re- sponse will be until they do receive it and have an opportunity to confer over it. The Democratic committeemen per- sonally are inclined to oblige their Re- publican colleagues, but say they do not desire to do this at the risk of losing any party advantage. Some of them are of opinion that something can be gained by holding the bill in committee for a week or two. They will make their decision known as promptly as possible after the Republicans formally prefer their request. The Republicans intend to report the' bill next Thursday if Democratic as- sent can be secured to their plan'not to delay it in committee, and they agree that it shall lie in the senate before oe- ing taken up for any reasonable time the Democrats may suggest, from one to two weeks if necessary, in order to give the Democrats an opportunity .to analyze the changes before beginning consideration. One of the few schedules of the bill which has not yet been perfected is that pertaining to wools and Woolens. The tendency is still to increase the rate on third class wools, though persistent ef- forts are making by manufacturers and others to secure reductions on all grades. There is also a determined ef— fort making to reduce the rates on lum- ber and coal, which effort is being stub- bornly resisted. Senators Davis, Pritch- ard, Burrows, Spooner and ”Wilson have - had a consultation with lumbermen from all parts of the country, devising means for retaining the $2 rate on lum- ber fixed by the house. The advocates of the abrogation of. the Hawaiian reciprocity treaty where-- by Hawaii sugar is admitted free, are quite sanguine that they will win their contentions, and this opinion is also ex- pressed by persons familiar with the inclinations of the members of the com- mittee. Mr. Cleveland’s Big Mail. . Princeton, N. J., April 26.—In nearly every postal delivery there is some mail 'for ex-President Cleveland. From the time that it first became known that the Clevelands were going to settle here the business of the postoflice has in- creased greatly. This has caused the postmaster to apply to the postal au- thorities in lVashington for an extra carrier and a clerk, claiming that his force is now inadequate. The Kentucky Deadlock. Frankfort, Ky., April 26.—The Re- publicans do not conceal the fact that they were greatly disappointed at their failure to elect Deboe. ‘They are very secretive about their future intentions,‘ but it is known that no pressing at- tempt to elect Deboe will be made until next Wednesday, .some of the pairs now out not expiring till that day. Boston Aids Home Rule. New York, April 26.—John D. Crim- mins, treasurer of the Irish National Federation of America, has forwarded to the treasurer of the Irish National party $1,000. This constitutes the first installment of a fund now being raised in Boston to assist in carrying out the plans of the Irish race convention held at Dublin last September. Confidence Men Arrested. Paris, April 26.—What is regarded as an important arrest has just been made by the authorities, an Englishman named Halford being locked up. As- sisted by an American named Gill he is accused, through a series of robberies, of obtaining nearly $10,000 by means of various confidence tricks. Plot Against Humbert. Rome, April 26. ——The Opinione states “‘tmt a plot was in existence on April 16 to assassinate King Humbert and that aman named Gudini,a afriend of Acci- arito, who attacked the king on Thurs- day whqg his majesty was en route to the race‘s, has been arrested. , ' THE CANADIAN 'IARIIT. I It‘ Provides For Important Preferences In Favor of British Goods. 'Ottawa, April 26.—The new Canadian tariff is not a radical departure from the old protective tariff, but it is gen- erally considered a decided step in the direction of free trade. In some re~ spects it is more favorable to the Unit- ed States than the old tariff, but the preferences for British goods are large and important. The most important feature in the new tariff is in the double schedule. By tlie announcement of this fact the government accepts the idea of a gen- eral tariff to be levied upon goods from countries giving Canada no trade ad- vantages and of a. special tariff appli- cable to imports from Great Britain and other countries that permit imports of Canadian goods free of duty or at min- imum tariff rates. The government views the policy of the United States and even the sched- ules of the Dingley bill as not preclud- ‘ing the negotiation of a reciprocity treaty between Canada and the United States. If, however, the Dingley bill were to become a law, it would seri- ously affect the trade of Canada with the United States. Under these cir- cumstances the government announce that while they did not favor retalia- tion and duty for duty, it was well at the present time not to extend to goods from the United States the measure of tariff reform now brought down. There is no hostility implied thereby. United States products will be admit- ted at the former duties, pending the time when the American government may remove the barriers to a freer in- terchange of trade commodities be- tween the two countries. IThis preferential feature of the new tariff is a very different policy from that of the late protectionist govern- ment, which so framed its tariff that while Canadian imports from the Unit- ed States increased those from the Brit— ish islands diminished. GOLD STARTS ABROAD. But the Treasury Officials Do Not Expect a General Export Movement. Washington, April 26.—The secretary of the treasury has received a telegram from Assistant Treasurer Jordan at New York, stating that $977,000 in gold bullion has been ordered for export. This is the first withdrawal of any con-_ siderable amount since July 22,1896, when $2 000,000 was withdrawn, the last of a series of heavy shipments extend- ing through a number of months. The present order has been antici~ pated for a number of days, sterling exchange having been dangerously near the shipping point. The treasury Ofli- cials are not disturbed and do not an- ticipate any general gold export move- ment. In. any event they say they are perfectly ’-'sure that European holders are not selling American securities be- cause of any distrust or .want of confi- dense in them. The outbreak of any hostilities be- tween Greece and Turkey is regarded as probably responsible for the present demand for gold. IFurther than this, the officials do not care to express an opinion. The New Chinese Minister. Vl’ashington, April 26.—Mr. Wu Ting' Fang, the new Chinese minister to the United States, Spain and Peru, with a. large retinue of secretaries and .serv- ants, is at the Arlington hotel awaiting the departure of the retiring minister,- Mr. Yang Yu, who will go to St. Peters— burg. The party of the incoming min- ister consists of his wife and son, Mr. Ho Yon, first secretary and wife; Mr- I Shen Tung, second secretary and wife, and 16 others. Charged \Vith llIutiny. Hoboken, N. J., April 26.—Five sailors Of the Hamburg—American line steamer Normania, from Hamburg, were ar- rested on the arrival of the vessel and locked up at police headquarters on a ‘ charge of insubordination. Third Offi- cer Fred Grant alleged that they had mutined on the voyage. The sailors de- nied the charge and insisted that they had only refused to obey orders which would have endangered their lives. Died After Sparring. New York, April 26.——While Rudolph Babst. 46 years old, was engaged in a. friendly sparring match yesterday with Peter Langtry, aged 17 years, at the latter’s home in Brooklyn, Babst re- ceived a light blow on the side of the head.
