would adopt what was good wherever
found. He would cooperate with all per-

THE TARIFF BILL.
Changes Being Made b. the Ways an
Means Cnmmittaa

Changes Being Made b. the Ways and
Means Committee
WASHINGTON, April 15.-The Ways and
Means Committee did not get its bill into
the House this morning, and there is some
doubt about the report being made before
tomorrow. Carlisle finished his minority
report and it was approved by his col
leagues, but the majority has, at the last
moment, met with propositions for changes
IN the way Of compromise, which caused
delay. They were IN session until o'clock
last night, having to deal with the sugar
men, the New England men, who want free
hides. and the ingram carpet men, and
fnaIiy adjourned without their differences
being settled. Later this afternoon they ex-
pected to have meeting To consider the
compromise with the sugar men. A dele
CATION of sugar-planters of Louisiana have
come forward with the proposition to ac-
eept bounty, as at first proposed, if it is
insured for fifteen years. All the sugar
men VIII probably agree to this, and it is
thought that the committee Will agree to
make provision that the bounty shall run
for fifteen years. There are two PROPOSE
tons on this subject-one Is to keep the
duty of one-half cent per pound and give
bounty OF one and half cents per pound
and the other is to take all the duty off
sugar and give a bounty of two cents per
pound. Formerly the proposition for a
bounty did not fix any definite time during
which the bounty should be paid, and the
sugar men feared that the bounty would
very soon be taken from them. Ii COM
promise is reached, as it is expected, the
controversy as to the sugar clause will be
over.
The conference between the sugar pro-
ducers and the committee lasted all the
afternoon. At its conclusion the sugar
men appeared wearing contented looks on
their faces. Tonight il is learned on good
authority that the conference resulted in a
compromise. Sugar is to be admitted tree
OF duty, and in return the Government is to
pay bonus of cents per pound to home
producers, and guarantee the bounty for at
least ten wears

here. Wilkinson resented the GOODNESS
shown her and gallantly championed her
cause. The friendship thus engendered
blossomed into love. Miss Winnie later
went to Europe with a cousin and is
still there. Wilkinson, two months ago.

JOINT CONFERENCE.
Senate and House Committees Discuss the
Silver Bill

Senate and House Committees Discuss the
Silver Bill.
WASHINGTON. April 15.-The Senate and
House Republican Committees on the silver
question held joint session for two hours
this morning. Very radical differences in
the views of the Senators and Representa-
tives were disclosed, but there was an earn
est purpose shown to harmonic differences
If possible.
One of the chief points upon which the
committees could not agree was the pro-
posed increase of national bank circulation.
Such proposition, it was said, could not
secure majority in the House.
1t was finally decided to commit the sub
Ject to subcommittee of five Senators and
five Representatives, who will continue the
work of hunting for common ground on
which they can stand.
The subcommittee held q meeting this
evening, and after long conference sue
ceeded in practically harmonizing the main
points of disagreement. 1t is expected that
at the meeting tomorrow an agreement
Will be reached on the redemption features
Of the bill, which will allow bullion certif-
Gates to be redeemed in lawful money. The
coinage per month will probably be fixed at
S4, 800, 600.

NEW YORK, April 15.-The general eessa-

In the plans of Dwyer Brothers with regard
to their racing entries. These were not to
have been announced until twenty minutes
before each race, and all the telegraph COM
panies were to have been excluded from the
race-track The scheme was to keep the
boOkies from doing business except on the
Dwyer track. The Western Union Com
pany had arranged to have force of fifty
men to carry returns from the track to
temporary offices outside of the grounds,
which were to have served the patrons in
this city. When the Dryers heard that the
city poolrooms were closed they resclnded
the orders, and the telegraph companies re-
mained Oh the grounds. The entries were
sent as, usual, and will be as long as the
pool-rOOmS are closed
