authority granted % marrhais was 20 employ

giving this authority was tha. the deputles

Internal Revenue.
by telegraph to the Dispatch.l

WASHINGTON, March l6.-The Ways
and Means Committee again considered
the internal revenue section of the Mills
bill to-day, and completed it with the
exception OF the paragraphs relating to
the destruction of private distillery ap-
paratus and 10 the treatment of prison
ers whose health was jeopardized by
confinement. Over these sections there
was some difference of opinion, and 1t IS
evident that the Republicans will vote
against them when the committee meet
again. There was also strong opposition
on the part of the minority TO the mo-
ton made by Mr.. Mills that the House
be requested to grant the committee
leave to sit during its sessions, but it
was carried, nevertheless.
