British Extraaitien Treaty.


WASHINGTON. February 5.-An effort was
made by Senator Riddieberger this afternoon
10 secure an executive session OF the Senate
10 order TO remove the Injunction Of secrecy
from tue vote by which The British extradI-
tion treaty was rejected last week. Since
that vote was announced many OF the s-na.
tors have received numerous letters asking n
they were among the fifteen who voted for
the treaty. To these inquiries the senators
have been compelled TO reply that they are
not able, under the rules OF the Senate, TO
answer directly. but the most OF them give
assurances that ii would greatly delight them
n their constituents could be advised OF the
facts IN the case. There Is q general feeling
10 favor OF making the vote public, and the
refusal OF the Senate 10 agyee 10 do so to-day
caused some surprise. IL Is expected. how
ever, that the publication will be ordered to.

Considering the Tarim Biii.


WASHINGTON. February 5.-The Ways and
Means Committee to-day continued The for
NAL reading OF the tariff bill, and progressed
as far az the iron schedules, which were Un-
der discussion when the committee adjeurn-
ed. Notice was given by member OF bis
intention to move 10 strike out the paragraph
relating to the for,ifcstion OF wines, but 20
far no amendment had been voted upon. Ali
Of the calculations for the Treasury experts
have not Ye, reached the committee, it
being found that the Senate amend.
ments were Of larger scope than at
first appeared. As the formal proceedings
in the committee progress. the Democratic
members are consulting frequently IN an ef-
fort to agree upon line OF policy 10 be fol-
lowed in the treatment OF the bill. Another
motion entered this morning was one made
by Mr.. Breckenridge, OF Arkansas, TO strike
out the section providing for bounty on
sugsr. In fact nearly all OF the motions en-
tered so far are 10 strike out the Senate
amendments 10 the original bill. and the
necessity for the votes upon them m detail
at a later stage OF the proceedings may be
obvious by the simple expedient OF voting
az once TO noD.concur en- n1dSSe IN the Seu-
ate amendments.
