Reduction Of Taxation.

former expressed the opinion that It would be advis

portion OF this sum that should come of the tariff

committee yesterday was not based upon this
suggestion OF the President, though the con-
verSation was referred to by The chairman
OF the committee. AS to the alleged postponemsnt
OF action upon the funding bill there mas been no
suggestion looking that end. All the foundation
