this evening Chairman Wood. of the Committee OF
Ways and Means said that in his opinion the House
viii devote considerable time to the discussion OF
tarfl questions at tins session. very strong of-
fort will be made, he says to secure reduction OF
the duty on steel rails. Within the last week Mr..
Wood has received and read several exhaustive ar
guments on this subject. which he thinks will re-
ceivothe early attention OF the committee.
The success of the effort to repeal the duty on
quinne at the last session has led 10 strong move
ment in favor Of placing all drugs and articles
which enter into the materia medica on the free
free list aud Mr.. Wood thinks there is PROBABLE
ity that the effort will be partially successful.
There Will also be exhaustive discussion of the
sugar question before tho Committee. and there if
q quite general impression that the dlfierent sugar
interests will So far harmonic their demafds mat
some legislation on the subj rct will he had at the
present session. Mr. Wood says that so far as he
knows there Is 40 movement on foot TO reduce the
tax on spirits. but among Southern members there
is a good deal of talk on that subject, and they
mean to have something done, If possible.
