WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.-The only change
in the tariff made in committee of the whole
in the house to-day was imposing duty of
80 percent. ad valorem on flint and lime
glass and vials instead of two cents pound
provided in the bill.
In the senate the vote on thread yarn
valued above twenty five cents and not
above forty cents was made fifteen cents
per pound; above forty and not above
sixty, twenty-five cents per pound; above
sixty and not above seventy, thirty
three cents per pound; above seventy and
not above eighty, thirty eight cents per
pound, and above eighty. forty y-eight cents
per pound.
A resolution of respect for the memory
of Representative Lowe followed.
The house coinage committee, six mem
bers, discussed and generally favored the
proposition authorizing the secretary of
the treasury to pay out all the silver coin
in the treasury and retire 25 per cent. of
the outstanding greenbacks instead of 40,
as now required by law. Mr.. Hazelton Of
fered an amendment authorizing the sec
retary to retain but 10 per cent. of green
backs. Lost, 5 to 1, Ar. Hazleton being
the only vote in the affirmative. The COM
nittee is composed largely of bimetali5ts
and Greenbackers.
Mr.. Logan informed the senate that he
would offer as an amendment to the sun
dry civil appropriation bill that the act
placing colored soldiers on the same foot
ing as other soldiers as to bounty and
pensions be so constructed as to extend to
and include the heirs of such soldiers in
their claims for military service, and the
accounting officers of the treasury be di-
rected to readjust the claims of such heirs
as may be entitled to, and who may be
benefited by said act.
The programme of business for the
senate this week is extremely simple, the
intention of the majority being to press
consideration of the finance committees
tariff measure each day and generally until
a late hour in the evening to the exclusion
of all other than merely formal legislative
business. Some brief executive sessions
will be held, and it is expected an adjourn
ment will be taken at a comparatively
early hour on Tuesday after
noon as mark of respect
to the memory of the two deceased
members of the house, but aside from these
interruptions the entire week will doubt
less be devoted to an attempt to complete
consideration and ending the bill. 1t is
very doubtful, however, whether the bill
can be returned to the house by the end of
this week, for regardless of many disputed
tariff questions which remain unacted on,
there may be renewal of
the debate of last session in
regard to various features of the original
frame work of the bill, which, as 1t passed
the house, related solely to the reduction
of internal taxation. Tomorrow in the
house after the usual call of states for in
PRODUCTION of bills, the regular order will
be the recognition of individual members,
for the purpose of offering motions to pass
measures by two-thirds majority under
suspension of the rules. It is
understood the first member to be
recognized will be Cannon, who has given
notice, under direction of a majority of
the committee on appropriations, that he
will then move the summary passage of
the legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill. The general opinion to-
night is the motion will fail, as it is known
nearly all the leading Democrats will op-
pose it. Failing to obtain passage
| by this means, the bill vii
not be called up again this week, but will
! be left on the calendar while the house du-
} ring the remainder of the week except
