THE SENATE TARIFF BILL.
MT. Jones Says the Committee Is Taking
 Time to Make It Perfect

WASHINGTON, Aug. 2S.-Senator Jones, of Nevada, says: "The real reason for the delay in reporting our tariff bill to the full committee on finance and to the senate is that the bill is not yet ready, and that is the only reason there ever has been. People no doubt expected that the lateneSs of the sea- son and the shortness of time left would com pei us to present our bill, ready or not ready, with much more promptitude than We have shown; and really we might have curtailed our laborious care and calculations, and have reported bill sooner if there had been the slightest chance of the bill becoming a law. But no bill prepared by us has any chance of passing the house; and so, know ing that there Is going to be no tariff bill passed by congress at this session, We are taking time to make our bill as complete and perfect as possible"
