working On the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, May l6.-In the house the
senate bill passed authorizing the registry
of census mail matter.
The house then went into committee of
the whole on the tariff bill. A number of

an amendment specially including glass
chimneys in the clause relative to blown
glass at duty of ten cents per dozen and
forty per cent ad valorem.

present duty of forty-fve per centad
valorem on glass chimneys was defeated.

Hit, Dunnell, Lind and Reed Uowa).
Mckinley said there were things in the
bill which he did not approve. There were
amendments he would like to make if he
alone we're to be consulted, but the commit
tee had to look out for every interest in the
United States. The gentlemen on the other
side said the duties in the bill were too
high. In the glass schedule of the Mills
bill the percentages ranged from 60 to 152
per cent. Why had the gentlemen on the
other side left duty of l52 per cent ON

party made that condition of its support

Mills said the high duties of the glass;

meet his (Mills') views. He was forced TO
accept them. HIS friend Mckinley was
placed in the same position i'll regard to his
bill. Mckinley's amendment was adopted.

The Silver Bill Not to His Liking Opposed
to Free Coinage,

Tho Silver Bill Not to His Liking Opposed
to Free Coinage.
WAsH1NaToN, May 16.-In tho senate
Sherman said he did not like some of the
features Of the silver bill, although he
might be driven to support it. Some of the
friends of the bill seem to have abandoned
it already. "There are some good features
in it which like very we'll. II we can
agree upon some measure that will furnish
the people more money and tend to advance
silver bullion nearer the standard of gold,
am willing to vote for such measure,
but don't want to embark upon the wide
sea of the free coinage of silver and l do
not want congress to pledge itself to buy all
the silver which may be offered. Let those
who would take the risk of such specula-
ton take it, not I. But anything
whatever that can be done by
this bill or any other to give us more good
paper money based on actual deposits of
gold and silver bullion, or that will raise
the value of silver, will favor. If we can
adopt measure that will make use of both
gold and silver and keep them together at
par with each other, will vote for it. If
not will content myself by simply voting
in the negative"
The discussion was continued at great
length, finally turning on to monthly debt
statements of the treasury. Ingalls, asserted
that he found in them astounding, amazing,
bewildering and irreconcieble discrepan-
cies. Sherman undertook to explain them,
and Allison gave some views upon them.
Allison said there was an erroneous but
widespread belief in the country, par
ticularly in the west. that there was an i'm
mense amount of government 1noney stored
up in the treasury, while in fact the real
surplus was as stated by Sherman,
$35, 600, 900.
