THE WILSON TARIFF BILL.
1t Will BE Called Up In the House
Wednesday

WASHINGTON, D. c., Dec. 80, 1898. Chair
man Wilson of the Ways and Means Com
mittee is hard at work preparing his speech
for the opening of the tariff debate, but it
has not progressed far enough for him to say
how long it will take to deliver it. He
was at the Capitol yesterday to procure some
documents, which he desired to consult in
the preparation of his argument but aside
from this he does not expect to visit the
building again until the meeting of the WAYS
aud Means Committee next Tuesday, at
which time it is expected to have the income
tax proposition in shape, to be acted upon
by the full membership.
Mr.. Wilson's duties have compelled him to
decline numerous invitations to deliver ad-
dresses, especially in this holiday season He
has been invited to attend the annual ban
quet in New York in honor of the anniser-
sary of Jackson's victory at New Orleans
January 8, but can give no definite promise
The tariff bill will be called up in the
House on Wednesday next, the day Congress
convenes after the recess, but up to
the present time no programme for the
discussion of the matter has been ar
ranged. If the bill is read by paragraphs
the day it is called up the reading will prob
ably consume nearly all of the days session
and no speeches will be made. Ii it is
not so read Mr.. Wilson win open the
debate in support of the measure.
He will consult his Democratic
colleagues on the committee regarding the
adoption of a programme before the bill is
called up. At present it is his disposition to
allow the debate to continue for while be-
fore he makes an attempt to reach a formal
agreement with the Republicans as to
when general debate shall be closed. In
case no agreement can be arrived
at on the floor, the Committee on
R1,1ac will Fol 10 tho rpottar- i,, bo,,d .,,.d
bring in an order naming the hour at which
the previous question shall be considered as
ordered, thereby closing debate, and bring
ing the question to vote.

THE FASHIONABLE DOG.

every dog has its day" The proof Of
this saying is left to man to give, but the dog
proper practically illustrates the saying by
the fact that he isheld in very varying favor,
is replaced in popularity by dog Of different
race. 1.-THE collie market is dreadfully dull
and depressed I This is the last report from
Birmingham, which is the special mar 2 for
this once favorite animal The only explana-
tion is that it is no longer considered lady's
dog. A pug collie which, year or two ago,
would have fetched its weight in silver, can
now be sold for its weight in copper. The
.sbulln is unavoidable but the newest dog at
the present moment is the sold English sheep
dog. r--L London Court Journal
