A Vigorous Protest
WASHINGTON, April 15th.-A protest
signed by sixteen Republican Representa-.
tiyes has been presented to the Committee
on Ways and Means against the sugar and
wool schedules as published. These Rep.
| resentatives urge upon the committee
that reduction of 25 per cent. ON sugar,
aud an increase of duty on the low grade
or carpet woods from q to 1910 cents q
pound, is as great change as should be
made.
Manufacturers of ingram carpets say the
| change of duty proposed in the schedule
| will increase the price of their product
| from so to SO cents a yard, and practically
| wipe out the business, and silencing 00C
| looms, and enforcing idleness upon 20, ,00C
werkmep.
The signers who protest, it is understood
are from all sections of the country, and
| while nothing of the kind is contained in
the document, an understanding exists
| among them that in its present shape they
will not vote for the bill in Committee ol
| the Whole or the House.
Another Republican member, Coleman
of Louisiana, says that unless further ad
vised by his constituents he will not vote
| for any reduction on sugar. The Repub
| lican members of the Ways and Means
| Committee were in session this afternoon
considering the sugar and wool schedules
The bounty proposition, as applied to
sugar, was presented definitely by the sugar
| manufacturers. They will accept the
bounty in place of the present duty, if they
| can be assured that it will be continued for
| fifteen years.
Discussing Silver.
WASHINGTON, April 15th-The Senate
| and House Republican Committees on the
silver question were in Joint session two
hours this morning. Very radical differ
ences in the views of Senators and Repre-
sentatives were disclosed, but an earnest
purpose was shown to harmonic the diff
ferences, if possible One of the chief
points upon which the committees could
not agree was the proposed increase of the
National Bank circulation. Such propo.
sition, it was said, could not secure ma
| jority in the House Finally it was de-
cided to commit the subject to a sub. COM
| mittee of five Senators and five Represent
atives, who will continue the work ol
hunting for common ground on which
| they can stand.
Commander McCalla.
WASHINGTON, April 15th-The Judge
Advocate General of the Navy to-day sub.
| mitted report to Secretary Tracy in the
| McCalla case, recommending that Com.
mander McCalla, of the corvette Enterprise
| be tried by court-martial on the charges
based on the facts developed during the re.
| cent investigation by the Court of Inquiry
The Secretary approved the recommenda.
| ton and ordered that it be presided over by
Admiral Harmony. The Court is to NEE,
at New York on Tuesday next. No de.
cision was promulgated in regard 10 the
other officers of the ship, but it is thought
probable that Lieutenant Iugersoll may be
tried.
Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, April 15th.-The Ways and
Means Committee did not get their bill into
the House this morning, and there is some
doubt about the report being made before

ment, met with propositions for changes in
the way of compromise which caused de-
| lay.
