Washington. Dec 14-"No, SIR, there will be
no compromise revenue legislation by this
Congress- said Mr.. Wilson, OF West Virginia. a
member of Ways and Means, in reply TO question
By a Tribune correspondent to-day. Mr.. Wilson spoke
in tone o. determination and like a man who felt
sure OF HIS ground
do You think there is any prospect that the
BrccknndGe resolution to remove the trouble on
account OF the admission OF worsted goods at a
lower rate nsn ether wooden goods viii be adopted
by the House Pr the correspondent asked
Such action does not seem TO be probable AT
the last session the majority of Ways and Means
decided not to consider any propositions TO correct
Inequalities or reform administrative methods, ex-
ccpt as features of the general bill Mr.. Brechin-
ridge Of Arkansas. who introduced the resolution
about worsteds was opposed 10 any action upon 1t
as an independent proposition, and he has not changed
his views, so far as know"
Mr. Breckenridge. Of Kentucky, expressed like
opinions and Il is apparent from what could be
learned Of the Views Of other Democratic members
Of WAYS and Means, that the prospect of any reve-
nue. legislation whatever by this Congress is so
slim as hardly TO be worth consideration.
The result might be different If the Senate should
pass its substitute, and the same could be brought
TO a direct vote in the House. Nearly score OF
Democrats who were coaxed bullied into voting
for the Dark Lantern bill by the prospect or
belief that Cleveland would be reelected ard the
Democratic party continue in power, would glahly
vote for the substitute if they could get an oppor-
t,nitv But Premier Mills and his Rule or Ruin
coadjutors will 10 IL that no such opportunity
is offered They make no ooncealment OF 1he prr
