The Tariff Question.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 26.-The House Com
mittee of Ways and Means had a protracted
and animated meeting this morning on the
subject of the tariff Mr.. Phelps, of Mis-
souri,, laid before them bill framed i'll ac-
cordance with the suggestions of the Secrc-
tary of the Treasury, and Mr.. Morrill,, of
Vermont, presented one supported by the
two other opposition members. Messrs. How
ard and Davis, Of Maryland, containing prln-
cipally specific duties compounded and adj
mixed with al yolorem rates.
Mr. Phillips, of Pa, introduced bill based
on the tariff of lS46. with a short list OF spc-
cifc duties, and retaining the principal part
of the free list of the act of 1897. Neither
of these projects seemed to be acceptable To
the majority of the ommttee-MeSSrs. Let
cher, Dowdcll and Crawford, being opposed
to any change Of the tariff at this time. As
less than Il majority cannot make formal
report, the probability is that nothing on
this subject will be reported from the COM
mittee this session.
The above named bills may. however, he
brought into the house by courtesy, with a
view of having Il decision on their separate
merits.
The committee have decided that they
would report no loan bill except with a revl-
sion of the tariff attached, and fixed that
amount AT TWENTY-FIVE million dollars to fund
the treasury notes and pay the interest there
on, the loan to be payable ut pleasure after
two years and before six.
All parties are i'll quandary about the
tariff. 1t seems to be understood that the
Republicans and Pennsylvania Democrats
generally, will support specific duties but
the majority Of the Democrats rather than
do this, will let the tariff stand aS it Is, even
if they have to come to direct taxation t"
support the government; such is the report
of gentlemen who have given close attention
to the subject. The result may be the pas,
sage of twenty-five million loan bill and
nothing more, for the relief of the govern
ment during the next fiscal year.

Mr. Harris and the Japanese.

The Washington Union has published two
letters from Mr.. Townsend Harris, our Consul
General to Japan, which give us a true III
sight into many Of the customs "i that IN
tpreSting country These letters. written
with conversational freedom. and not intended
for the public eye. possess the stamp of truth
fulness. They present MS with picture III
miniature of japanese life, and are calculated
to convey favorable impressions OF that l'"ia-
ted people.
Mr.. Harris describes his presentation to
the Emperor, and mentions the fact that he
stood erect. and did not kncel, rs is the pre-
scrbed etiquette of that pnnctlllouS Court
4 faint request, he says, was made to HIM at
Simoda, before he proceeded to Jeddo, that he
would kneel, but | told them he adds.
that ''the request was offensive and must not
be repeated. That ended it," Ii was 4
mere ceremony. ceremony observed by the
highest officers of the empire, including the
brothers of the Emperor.
Having concluded his treaty. Mr.. Harris
had an opportunity to visit the various oh-
iects of interest in and about Jcddo. The
city itself, he tells lis, covers more ground
than London, and its population is about two
millions. ''rhere is not" he says. "a chin
nev nor pane of window glass to he found
in the whole empire. The gilded columns
supporting the frettcd ceilings. and golden
roofs of stately palaces. described by the old
writer's on Japan, are not to be found, and
am informed by the Japanese that they never
had anv existence out Of the Traveller Tales,
which relate such marvels about Japan. His
impressions of the people are altogether fave
rable. lie describes them as genial. cor
dial, refined in their poltcnesS, but thorough
" untilitarian. They are the best fed,
clad and lodged, and the least over work cd
of any people on earth God grant that
future generations may not have cause to
regret the hour arrived i'll Japan"
