AMENDING THE TLRIFF BILL.
Special to the Gazette.
WASHINGTON, May 14-Proposed
amendments to the tariff bill continue to
flow In upon the WAYS and means COM
mittee Another batch WAS received this
morning and it Is known that many
Others are in course of preparation. The
Democratic members Of the committee
have already held several meetings to
discuss the amendments, but
up to the present time fa&l action has
not been taken IN the case Of single
amendment. Fl sriugs have baen given
to halt dozen representatives upoa the
subject matter Of amendments proposed
| ny them, but the effect has not been to
simplify the laoors Of the committee
because Of the wide variance Of views
expressed by the Representatives upon
identical clauses Of the bill.
Ooe Democrat, for instance, has pro-
posed to put finished building stone On
the free list willie lscing high duty on
the rough stone. Others ask for free
building stone 10 the rough blocks and
protection for the dressed product.
New York member offers an amend
ment to charge the existing Ian in exact
ly the manner already prop lsed by the
bill, while q prominent western member
wants the particular article OF msnufac-
ture placed on the free list. These Diff
fereuces CT opinion have increased the
difficulty experienced by the Democratic
members Of the committee in dealing with
the amendments and for this reason the
additional tins fforcsd by the * ,ension
Of the general de3ste in the House Is @
considerable relief to them.
Mr.. Culberson will probably not mske
set speech On the tanf bill, but will
take part in the dj=cnssio1.
