THE TARIFF BILL.

WASHINGTON. January lG.-The tariff
ways and means committee is accompanied
by a brief report, covering only three pages
Of letter paper, which states that in the
matter involving SO many distinct PROPOSE
tions as the tariff bill touching as they did
existing investments of capital. the hope OF
unanimity OF opinion in SO large a committee
rs that Of the Ways and means could not be
entertained and the bill is not the unani-
nous report of the committee.
The final vote OF the committee on the
question Of reporting the bill with the rec
ommendation Of its passage was yeas-Kclly
Of Pennsylvania, Mckinley of Ohio, Haskell
Of Kansas, Russell of Massachusetts, Errett

goes TO the House as protectionist measure
though it is well known that the protection
lists in the House prefer the tariff should be
left as il is.
The friends of the bill assert that the re.
auctions are distributed with such care as
TO avoid any injurious effect upon the in
dustries Of the country, this being, they
say, the general plan and purpose of the
bill. The reductions proposed by the House
bill are not so great as those recommended
in the Senate bill. The classifications and
provisions for the administration of the
tariff laws are more elaborate and the
changes in some classes are greater, COM
prislng both reduction and advances In the
interest OF equalization. The importance
OF the ways and means tariff bill is dimin-
ished by the probability that the tariff meas.
ure being considered in the Senate as an
amendment to the House bill or the reduc-
ton of internal revenue taxes will be the
bases OF all possible legislation on the sub
ject the present session.

mittee, Saturday last was attended by c.
Wood Davis, proprietor OF coal mines at
New Pittsburg, Crawford county, who ad.
dressed the committee for about an hour.
He charged that the st. Louis & San Fran
cisco railroad company, through Its general
manager, c. w. Rogers, had SO discriminate
ed against him in his business as to abso-
lutely prohibit the shipment Of his coal over
that road. Mr.. Rogers. he said had made
overtures to purchase his mines and plant ut
a less value than he placed on them, and on
his refusal to sell. declared that not one
pound of his coal should be shipped over
the Frisco road. The st. l.. & S. f. COM
pany, he says, own fifty-five per cent. in
other mines Oh the line of the road, and it
is determined TO carry only its own coal.
