WASHINGTON, Feb. s. Representative
Carlisle, of Kentucky, member of the
ways and means committee, and one whose
judgment is almost faultless, in chat
with your correspondent to-day, said:
81 have but little faith in tariff bill
being passed at this session of congress.
Indeed, regard it as a physical impossi-
bility. The house, in week, has only
passed over one of the insignificant sched-
ules of the bill, touching chemicals. If it
requires a week to do this, what
must be expected when the
metal and WOODEN schedules are reached.
1t took the ways and means committee,
with twelve Or thirteen members present,
thirty three days to prepare the bill. Now,
can you imagine how long it will take 293
members to tear it to pieces and prepare
bill? No, don't think 1t will pass, and I
know there are leading Republicans who
do not want it 10 pass"
"What do you think of the senate bill?"
81 don't think it will ever become law.
The senate will pass bill in some shape,
bat the changes already made in the metal
schedule by the senate will not command
the support even of the high protectionists
of Pennsylvania and Ohio.'
"Do you think an internal revenue bill
will be passed."
81 am afraid not. The only chance for
the passage of such bill is for the senate
to pass the bill sent it by the house last
year. To do this, though, the senate will
have to abandon its tariff bill, because the
revenue bill was used as the basis to which
the senate could add tariff bill as an
amendment"

WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.-The secretary of
the navy received cable message from
Minister Hunt, at st. Petersburg, dated
Feb. 3, stating that Lieut.. Harder had left
Yakut4k to get the bodies of De Long and
party.
The supreme court has decided invalid
the act of the New York legislature, i'm
posing upon the steamship companies
tax of 81 for every alien passenger brought
from foreign port to New York.
The house committee on coinage,
weights and measures this morning adopt
cd, by vote of to 2, the following reso-
luton, and instructed Mr.. Bedford to re-
port them to the house:
Resolved, That it is expedient to discon-
tinue the coinage of silver under the exist
ing laws.
RESOLVED, That all coin now in the treas
ury, with the exception of an amount not
= 0f &ha ,te4o
greenback circulation as a redemption
fund, and also excepting all sums held for
the redemption of outstanding gold and
silver certificates, should be at once used
in payment of outstanding interest bear
ing obligations of the government, which
are subject to call and payment.
AS it is,,the judgment of this commit
tee that it is inexpedient to suspend the
coinage of standard silver dollars under
the existing laws,and as in the judgment of
the treasury officials additional vault room
for the safe storage of coins should be pro-
vided:
Resolred, That this committee recon-
mend that the committee on appropria-
tions appropriate such sum as they shall
be advised as neCessarr for providing such
additional vault room, and we further rec
ommend that such additional vault room
should be located in the Mississippi valley
at such point or points as shall be deter
mined by the secretary of the treasury.
Representative Fisher presided, and
Representatives Belford, Mcclure, Lacey,
Psyson, Hazelton, Singleton, Rosecrans,
Bland and Delegate Lund we're present.
Those in favor of the resolutions were
Messrs. Belford, Mcclure, Payson, Single
ton, Rosecrans and Bland; opposed, were
Messrs. Fisher and Lacey; not voting, Mr..
Hazelton- The issue of standard dollars
from the minis last week was $198,000,
against $4,000 the corresponding time
last year.
The only members of the committee alb
sent were Reese and Washburn. In the
discussion preceding the final vote upon
the resolutions, Fisher and Lacey opposed
the % per cent. provision as altogether in
adequate for reserve fund. Burchard,
director of the mint, says additional vault
room for storage of accumulated coinage
is absolutely necessary, whether the
coinage is continued Or suspended.
In the star route case testimony was
taken concerning several routes, and after
a controversy between Ingersoll and Bliss
defense was entitled to but unable to pro-
cure, the court adjourned because of the
illness of one of the jurors.
