TARIFF LEGISLATION.

The Ways and Means Committee
Waiting for the Republicans.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-Chairman Mills
has called meeting Of the committee ON
ways and means for tomorrow morning, at
which it was expected that the republicans
would submit their minority report on the
Tariff bill or some statement about it, but
the republicans, although they have had
the majority report since yesterday, have
not as yet held a meeting to even consider
what they shall do. They will probably
meet tomorrow morning TO make up their
minds as to whether they will submit a
minority report, as they said they would,
or not.
While the republican members of the
ways and means committee have not yet
finally decided upon the point, the proba-
biities now are that they will draw up
formal statement of the views of the minor
ity to accompany the majority report.

Argum ents for and Against Il Before
Secretary Bayard.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14-Secretary Bay
ard and Attorney General Garland gave a
hearing at the state department to-day to
friends and opponents of the Nicaragua
bill now awaiting the action of the Presi-
dent The hearing was given on the Presi-
dents suggestion In order to determine il
there was any valid legal objections
to approval of the bill. Simon Sterne aud
John Jay McCook, of New York, represent
ing the American Atlantic and Pacific
Transit Company, made arguments aga nst
the bill The former contended that 1t was
clearly unconstitutional, contrary To the
spirit and traditions of the United States
government and entirely unnecessary
and vicious, in that it recognized aud en-
couragcd one corporation to the detriment
of others equally if not more deserving.
WHERE THE SHOE PINCHED.
Mr.. McCook argued that to allow this bill
TO become a law would be an act of great
injustice to Americans and Englishmen
holding nearly S2,000,000 of bonds Of the
Atlantic and Pacific Transit Company, and
would und JubJedly lead TO serious compli-
cations with Great Britain.
Judge G. p. DAILY of New York replied in
behalf Of the Nicaraguan Maritime Canal
Company, conte ding that the constitution
al features OF the measure were fully and
freely discussed in congress, and that no
unlawful powers or concessions are con-
ferred by the bill.
Secretary Bayard and Attorney General
Garland will submit g. cir views on the sub
ject t. tho President in few days. From
remarks made by each of them duri & the

CowLRs' BILL ON DECK.
The Appropria tions Committee Crap
pies with the Measure.

The Appropriations Committee Crap
pies with the Measure.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 14.-The appropria-
tions committee of the House grappled the
revenue problem in earnest this morning,
and with little opposition decided to con-
slider the Cowles internal revenue bill,
although certain democratic members took
care to explain that their consent given to
consider bin did not bind them to vote
for it. When the formal reading of the
measure was completed, the members be-
gan to express their views and suggest
alterations. The committee was Obliged to
adjourn by reason # the meeting of the
House, leaving the bill pelding.
THE RESULT UNCERTAIN.
Just what the result of it's consideration
will be no member felt warranted in pre-
dieting beyo d the statement that the
mea ure will surely be reported back to the
House in some form. 1t Is gathered
that the dem mlcratic members of the COM
mittee are pretty widely divided in regard
to the policy they shall follow, and that
while the republicans are not entirely
solid they are in much better
shape than the other side. 1t
seems probable that the bill will eventually
be reported favorably to the committee,
but with important amendment striking
out the 'moonshine" sections, or those por-
tions i1tended to mitigate tho rigors Of the
administration of the revenue laws. The
bill will be finally acted upon SO far as the
commi toe is concerned.
1t is learned that the vote by which the
committee resolved to consider the bill re-
suited ia yeas to 2 nays. Later on the
question was put: "Shall the customs reve-
nues be considered in connection with this
billfn and it was decided in the negative,
