tent of the Business.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ID The Secretary of the
Treasury to-day transmitted to the Senate re-
port prepared by Mr. Miller, Commissioner of
Internal Revenue, in answer to Senator Ingallss
resolution calling for information in regard to
the operations of the oleomargarine law. By
this report it appears that since Nov l, the date
at which the law went into operation, special
taxes provided for therein have been assessed on
thirty-four manufacturers of oeomargarine, on
2O4 wholesale dealers. and on 2,4I5 retail deal
ers. The number of pounds of oleomargarine
assessed at 2 cents per pound was 430 TIA A
table is given showing the number of persons
and firms who have paid the special taxes i'm
posed and the quantity of oleomargarine as
sessed in each collection district of the United
States. This shows that the principal collec-
tions were in the First Illinois district where
2,6l3, 700 pounds were taxed The other dis
tricts where the collections were above the aver
age were as follows: Colorado 1Ol, 9I5 pounds

PARIS, Dec 1.-The Chamber of Deputies
to-day, by vote of sos to IL, passed the pro-
visional budget for two months asked for by the
government. In the course of the debate on
the budget M. Clemenceau commended that a
majority favored the separation of church and
state. He said the late Cabinet was overthrow
because it had remained stationary. The decla-
rations OF the new Ministry were not
satisfactory. The Cabinet would find it impos-
sible to obtain majority without the co-opera-
ton of the Extreme Left, which section only
asked for reforms which were demanded by the
entire Republican party, and the carrying out of
which would bring about the union of all Re-
publicans and extremists

and not by the vote of the Republican majority.
The present Cabinet did not mean to deal in idle
declarations, but in acts which would be carried
INTO effect at the beginning of the new year. A
settlement OF religious questions would become
possible when demanded by large majority in
the country. In the meantime the suppression
OF the public worship budget would be an illegal
proceeding A majority in the Chamber did not
favor the separation of church and state. He
entered upon the struggle confident of the coun-
trys support, and appealed to Republicans of
every shade to sustain him.
The Chamber, by vote of 339 to 21l rejected
motion to Immediately begin debate upon the
Dill providing for surtax upon cereals.

lief committee, showing that the total amount
of 1864, 258 was received by them for the suffer

The News and Courier estimates that the total

IRISH AFFAIRS.

John Dillon Required to- Give BOnd-The
League Plan To Be Declared Illegal.
LONDON, Dec 14-John Dillon appeared for
himself to-day in the action brought by the
government against him for agitating in favor
of the ''plan of campaign In his address to
the court, Mr.. Dillon contended that the Ian
guage in the speech selected as the basis of the
prosecution was iustifable and that the crown
was straining the law against him.
The Judge declared that the 'splan of cam
paign" was clearly and absolutely illegal He
ordered Mr.. Dillon to give personal bond in the
of Ell. 000 with two sureties for Ell 900 each,
for good behavior in the future, within twelve
days, or go to prison for six months.
The Standards Dublin correspondent tele-
graphs that, in view of the decision of the court
in the case of MIR. Dillon, the government will
issue a proclamation declaring the National
Leagues plan of campaign to be an illegal con-
spiracy.
The Times says the landlords have great
many civil remedies available, and adds that a
few examples under strict pressure of the law
will probably suffice to convince the tenants that
to follow Mr.. Dillon is to risk utter ruin.

said that it gave him great pleasure to say that
he considered the improvement oil the small

when he went into the service as chief OF en-
gineers he believed that the money expended on
small streams, especially in the West was money
thrown away, but that after visiting some of the
localities where work was progressing, and study
ing the effect of the work as it related to COM
merce, he was of the unquestionable opinion
that the yield was two to one in favor of improv-

ceiving three or four thousand dollars year
This is expended in pulling trees and rocks out

MoRRIsoN's TARIFF BILL.

The House May Vote to Take 1t Up, but Such
Action Will Possess No Significance.
Special to the Indianapolis Journal.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 14.-Mr. Morrison mott
fed the House to-day that on Saturday next he
would move to take mp his tariff bill. By that
time the sundry civil bill is expected to be out
of the way, and as there is no other appropria-
ton bill ready, there will be no antagonism
from the committee on appropriations; indeed.
there is no disposition the part of Mr. Randall
and his committee to make captious opposition
to the chairman of the ways and means commit
tee so that when Mr.. Morrison offers his motion
the issue will be squarely joined and the House
given fair opportunity of deciding whether it
desires to consider the tariff. The feeling is
general that Mr.. Morrson's motion win prevail,
but it is not believed that anything practical win
result from it. The revenue reformers, while re-
garding the passage of Morrison's bill as
improbable, indulge the hope that some meas
ure will be evolved from the discussion which
will be acceptable to majority of the House,
and which will reduce the present excessive rev.
enues of the government How long debate
will be continued, should the tariff be taken up
cannot now be determined. Fair opportunity
will be furnished Mr.. Morrison to bring the
House to a vote, but should the discussion drag
over several days, with no prospect of a termina-
ton. the appropriations and other committees
having in charge measures that must receive at
tention are likely ty brush the tariff aside This
may be done at any time by majority vote.
The fact that majority may vote with Mr..
Morrison Saturday next cannot be held as
having special significance So far as any action
is concerned the bill, it will show that the
House is disposed to give their ways and means
committee hearing, but will furnish no indca-
ton of the feeling OF the House upon the bill. 1t
is understood number of those who. last year,
voted against consideration, will vote with Nor
rison on Saturday; but these gentlemen are
among the most earnest opponents of attempt
ing to revise the tariff at this session. and after
a few days of discussion will oppose further con-
sumption of time in considering the question.
majority can terminate the consideration at
any time by simply refusing to sustain the mo-
ton to take up the bill, which must be made OF
each day, it is proposed to resume that order
of business.

Morrison tariff bill was held tonight at the
Riggs House. They agreed to vote for the
