lowed the honors heaped upon him to turn
his head. He has scarcely been heard to
offer remark in the house since his cleo
ton, though he attends closely and gives
close attention to business. He was COM
menting in conversation with some friends
the other day on his good fortune in polit-
ical life. He detailed the various steps by
which he had been promoted since the
close of the war, going to the state legis-
lsture, to the house, then to the senate.
TT has been great satisfaction to me, of
course he said, "and L, of course, am
very grateful to nay friends for it, but
tell you frankly, gentlemen, that none of
these have given me 80 much genuine
pleasure as the fact that my hound pup
took the premium at the dog show the
other night"

WASHINGTON, March 2-The conference
committee on the tax and tariff bill reached
a complete agreement about 1890 this
afternoon, and forthwith sent their report
TO the government printing Office in order
to be able to present it to both houses of
ment to-day. The report will recommend
the adoption of the senate bill, with very
few changes Of general importance, except
IN the metal schedule, in which the com
mittee recommend some increase OF
rates, especially in regard 10 steel.
The changed rates agreed upon under
this heading are as follows: On steel val
ued above cents per pound, 45 per
centum ad valarem; on steel valued at not
less than cents and not more thon IL
cents per pound a specific duty of 2924 cents
per pound; and on steel valued above II
cents per pound specific duty of 81
cents per pound, On steel rails the CON
ference committee recommended q duty
of S17 per ton; on iron ore 70 cents per
ton, instead Of so cents, and on pig iron,
three-tenths of a cent per pound; the rate
proposed by the tariff commission. The
committee makes no change from the
rates proposed by the senate bill for cot
important articles which have
been subjects of controversy in the metal
schedule. The conference recommends
only one change in the sugar schedule, an
increaseito two and three-fourth cents per
not above No. 10, Dutch standard. The
senate fixed this duty at two and one-half
cents per pound. Some miAor changes of
classification are made in the cotton schsd
ule, but none of rates. The only change
in the wooden schedule is to impose duty
of forty-fve cents per pound and and 40
per cent. ad valorem upon .women's cloaks.
In the glass and gearthenwarei schedule
l,o tao I.Ttr e
one cent per pound or glass bottles, and
transfer printed and painted crockery to
the china clause, thereby increasing the
duty from so per cent. ad valorem to 60
per cent.
The conference committee recommend
that the provisions of the bill reducing in
ternal revenue taxes on snuff, tobacco and
cigars shall 90 into effect May instead of
July 1, as provided in the senate bill.
The prevalent sentiment in the house
this afternoon, as gathered from conversa-
ton with members as to the results of
the tariff conference, is that the bill which
the conference recommended will pass.
The Ohio men and all interested IN wool
raising are dissatisfied because the rates
were not raised on raw wool. The repre-
sentatIves of the sugar producing and
sugar refining interests are generally sat
isfed with the results of the conference.
The Pennsylvania men are fairly content,
and prominent Democrats say it will pass.
OF course, though, they will generally op-
pose it.
THE TELLER HILL CONTEST.
The nomination of Robert Morris to-
day as postmaster for Denver, Col, ends
long and strenuous contest between the
Hill and Teller factions in favor of the
formers candidate. 1t is stated at the de-
partment that the decision was based upon
the ground that as Denver is Senator Hills
home, he is entitled to the appointment.
