Hon. Mack enzie Bowel, the Canadian
Commissioners, closed their negotiations
with Secretary Blaine and General Fos-

Three Bills to be EaVOrably Reported
This Week.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.-The WAYS and
Means Committee will report three tariff

at a meeting of the Democratic majority
to-day, and the measures to be reported
are: The Springer free wool bill, the
Bryan free binding twine bill and the
Turner bill placing cotton ties. cotton
bagging, and machinery for making the
same, on the free list. The provisions of
the Springer bill, as finally approved by
the Democratic committeeman, have
been published.
Springer, in explaining his bill, said
''AlI woods and hair and all waste matter
are put upon the free list; all waste ad-
vanced beyond the condition of secured
wool, shoddy and mungo, are taxed %
per cent. The rates on wooden and
wOrsted yarns, fixed for all values at So
per cent. ad valOrem, are equivalent to
from l03 to l22 per cent. The rates on
wooden and worsted cloths, shawls, knit
fabrics, ETC., fixed at 40 per cent. The
equivalent rate under the Mckinley Act
is not stated under all items, but on
WOrSted the rate was from 80 to l46 per
cent. The other rates not stated would
vary from so to 300 per cent. Blank
CTS. ndIS OF WOOL, ana nannelS Tor
underwear are reduced from 30 TO 25
from 30 to 80, and 40 to 35 per cent. Un-
der the Mckinley Act the rates are from
l3 to ll0 per cent. On women'S and chill
dren's dress goods, etc., having cotton
warp, the rates are fixed at 80 per cent.
Under the Mckinley Act they are over
IS per cent. On the same with woolen
warp, the rates are fixed at 40 per cent,
the equivalent in the Mckinley Act, 80 to
ll0 per cent. Ready-made clothing for
men and cloaks, jackets, etc. for women
are fixed at 45 per cent. Under the Nc
Kinley Act the rates are 81 and 81 per
cent. The rates on carpets of all kinds
are fixed at 30 per cent. The equivalent
rates under the Mckinley Act are from
30 to 81 per cent"
The rates are lowest" said Springer,
upon goods to be used by the masses of
the people, and the highest upon high
priced goods to be worn by the more
wealthy classes, the reverse of which was
true under the Mckinley Act.'' The av-
erage rates in the pending bill win be be-
tween 80 and 35 per cent, as against 40
per cent. in the Mills bill.'
