tBY TELEGRAPH TO TIE TRIBUNEl
W.suINGTON Feb 5.-The financial situation con-
,inues 10 be one Of the questions which. from an
Administration point # view calls for the most Sc
nous consideration. In the Cabinet discussions 1t
tas foI the past week or two occupied more time
than the southern question or distribution OF the
patronage. At the meeting to-day the whole sub
,ect was reviewed Secretary BrstOw read TO the
President and his associates the law requiring the
creation of the sinking fund repeated his estimates
Of receipts and expenditures. and proved that IL
would be mIosabe for him TO execute tho law
unless he WAS provided with more money. The va
rions means of increasing the revenues were then
discussed. and the action Of the Ways and Means
Comrnittee today in voting not 10 restore the duty
to tea and coffee and not to repeal the 10 per cent
reduction Of 1872, was commented upon very freely
The President and the members of hls Cabinet are
evidently very much disgusted and annoyed at the
unexpeced failure OF this Committee to vote IN ac-
,ordance with the suggestions that have been made
bv the Executive. The President sand
that he had heard that the Democrats
proposed 10 oppose sOlidly all increase OF taXatlon
aud suggcsteI lAat il this true 1t might be nee
essary 10 make a party measure Of the matter, and
bring the caucus nto requiStion IN ofder 10 1ofce
Through both Houses the necessary bills. The nd
visibility of sending another special message TO
Congress ON the subject was also discussed. Among
the statements made at the Cabinet meeting to-day
was one that Commissioner of Internal Revenue
Douglass favored-an Increase Of tax on distilled
fprits to 81 gallon and that he had nc doubt that
be could collect q tax al that rate.
