WASHINGTON, November 27.-Thc pros
poets for the immediate rereal of .ho cotton
tax arc not SO promising. The true friends
OF the measure, fearful of spontaneous oppo-
sltion to the movcrIc.,t, originating on thoiE

The Committee Of Ways and Means agrood
unanimously, in its session this morning, to-
report bill for tho repeal Of tho cotton tax.
There was no business of importance trans
