And tho Question Of AdtOurnnaent.

1t was asserted by republican Senators to-day
that their tarn bill will certainly be reported and
that it would In all probability be laid before the
full finance committee at their regular meeting

assurances from republican Senators, rumors OF

soon"

effect that the bill shall be reported TO the Senate
ON the same day that It comes from the sub
committee; that In order TO facilitate its passage
