concerning the tariff bill and reciproci-
ty. He carried with him a mass Of I'm
formation, particularly relating to the
Importation OF sugar, which Secretary
Window has been some time engaged in
preparing for him; for the purpose of
submitting 1t to Secretary Blaine |
and obtaining his aid In preparing q

Owing TO the precarious state OF his |
health Senator Morrill, has been granted |
an indefinite leave OF absence. This |
leaves Senator Aldrich In charge of the |
tariff bill, and Il would be a fficult

| hands. There Is no better posted man
10 the Quilted states upon the varied
| complications OF our tariff system than

The House refuses TO grant leaves of
