STEEL RAILS IN DANGER,
The scnate Finance Committee n1ny Mako
II Big Cut Right There.

The Senate Finance Committee nIny Make
Big Cut Right Thers.
WASHINGTON, June S.-A good deal Of
excitement was occasioned among the
high tariff men and among the friends of
the House tariff bill yesterday by reports
that the Senate was about to deal more
harshly with that measure than it has
been dealing hitherto. The impression
has been that the House bill would be
reported to the Senate with only unim-
portaut changes, but the report was yes
terday that a big cut was to be made on
lumber and on the metal schedule. The
figures given by the alarmists for the cut
on steel rails from Sl3 IS to Sll 20, and
the story was that number OF other ar
ticles OF the steel schedule were TO have
their duty pared down TO an alarming
degree. Nothing definite could be learn.
ed from the gentlemen OF the committee,
One OF the members admitted that a
considerable cut on steel rails was with
in the possibility, but when it was sug-
gested to him that the Jump was to be
to the low figure 1911 90, he said ia a
non'committal way that that was inac-
culate. That there was a tendency
shown in the consideration OF the bill
to-day to do something that would be
very distastcful to the steel manufac-
turers is pretty certain, but whether it
will take tangible shape is another
question. Senator Cameron said that
he had no information that such q cut
was intended, and this gives tho ex-
citing reports tinge Of doubt, as it
could hardly be possible that Mr..
Cameron, the Pennsylvania member OF
the committee, would be ignorant Of
such q movement,
