will probably come up before both houses
of Congress soon after resembling. The
Morrill, bill will be reported to the Senate
and the tariff reformers will antaganize
it. The Garland bill, which was rejected
by the finance committee, has some sup
porters, who will fight hard. but with no
prospect of success. Even all of the
Democratic tariff reformers in the Senate
don't approve of Garland's bill.
Senators Harris and Beck, and several
others, favor commission composed en-
tirely of members of Congress and appoint
ed by Congress, wishing to keep control of
the subject in Congress. These differences
of opinion, however, will not divide the
low tariff Senators as against MorrilPs bill.
They will endeavor first to defeat that, and
if successful will then attempt to unite up
on some new measure, which is construct
ed upon Garlands bill. The sentiment
favoring some revision Is steadily growing.
Judge Kelly, chairman of the ways
means committee, has modified his ex
treme tariff views to adopt them to the
new revision needed, and he intends to
draft bill to that effect The low tariff
members say this complete move of Kelly
is simply a.smart dodge of the protection
lists to head off the growing sentiment in
favor of the revision. The bill for tariff
revision by Kelly will be antagoniEed by
the other side as strenuously as though it
embodied the extremes of the protection
doctrines. The fight promises to be a
strong one.

WASHINGTON, Dec 22.-Complaints are
received that much difficulty is experienced
in getting Indian agencies supplies trans
ported, caused principally by the failure OF

can but did in this case"
During the greater part of the afternoon
Guiteau was engaged in writing letter for
publication and apparently paid little heed
to the progress of the trial. When wit
ness was excused Guiteau exclaimed:
''These experts may be all high-toned,
honorable men, but my idea is that they
hang more than the doctors kill. General
Garfield would have been alive to day but
for the doctors. They completed what
my shot began. The Lord intended that
he should go and so let the doctors kill
him." Witness Shaw was called, when
Guiteau shouted: Here's the man who
told that lie. We have your record, Shaw,
from New jersey. where the judge said
you ought to be in the penitentiary."
Witness was asked if he had been indicted
for perjury. He replied that he had. A
stormy dialogue ensued. Witness was
finally permitted to explain that it was
from a misapprehension and he was acquit
ted by the jury. Scoville gave notice to
Shaw to defend his character as four wit
nesses would testify contrarily. Adjourn
