Ataspecial meeting Of cigar manuiac-
turers of New York ON the 4th, a petition
was adopted praying Congress to consider
the law taxing manufactured tobacco and
cigars, and amend it SO as to more clearly
define the duties Of revenue officers, who
at present are in the habit of putting their
own construction on the law, both to the
detriment of the government and the trade.
The petition also prayed for the abolition of
the present system of requiring manufac-
turers to furnish bonds to bondsmen, as it
is hardship to poor men wishing to com
mence business. A delegation is to be sent
to Washington to present the petition to
Congress.

CONCLUSION or FRIDAYS PRoCEED-
INGS.
HOUSE.


On motion of Mr.. Banks, the House
again went into Committee of the Whole
on the bills reported from the Committee
on Foreign Affairs, making appropriations
to enable the President to fulfill the stipu-
lations of the treaty of Washington.
Mr.. Banks briefly explained the objects
of the appropriations. The first $3.50, 900
was to defray the expenses of the general
conference and the latter 1872 1926 to de-
fray the expenses Of the British and Amer
Jean Claim Commission, now in session at
Washington. He asked that the general
discussion of the treaty be deferred to later
in the session, and the money, for which
there was on immediate need, be appro-
priated at this time.
Without debate the committee rose and
reported the bills to the House, and they
were both passed.
Mr.. Palmer, from the Committee on APP
preparations, reported bill appropriating
500, 75l.4s to supply deficiency in the APP
preparation for salaries and contingent ex-
penses in the Postoffice Department,
caused by the defalcation Of f. A. Nc
Cartney. The bill was passed, and the
House at 8 O'Clock adjourned to Monday.
