sTEvENsoN's TRIP.
The Vice President and Party to Start
for Augusta Tomorrow!

Washington, Dec. s.-The Vice Presi-
dent, with Mr. Springer, and possibly
several members of congress, will leave
Sunday evening for Augusta to attend the
exposition and state fair Mrs Stevenson
had intended accompanying her.husband,
but owing to the party leaving sooner
than Mr.. Stevenson had expected
he fears that his wife will not
reach Washington in time. Mai. Black
will not accompany the party, as his
presence here is very necessary Just at
this time, as he is a member of the bank
ing and currency committee, and with one
member fsvoring the repeal of
the 10 per cent. tax being absent it
would be impossible TO report
the bill favoring the repeal.
From an authentic source to-day it is
learned that the President intends To send
a special message to Congress later on
recommending the repeal. Many of the
administration warmest friends deny
this and in the committee are working on
the opposite tack

RAISING REVENUE.
The Ways and Means Committee
Still Wrestling With the Problem.

The Ways and Means Committee
Still Wrestling With the Problem.
Washington, Dec S.-The democratic
members of the ways and means commit
tee, after an all-day session at the capitol
yesterday, held another meeting at the
treasury department in the evening. 1t
was nearly midnight before they ad-
journed AS a result of their work for
the past few days, they have at last com
pleted the revision of the customs sched-
ules, giving them a more correct legal
form and more clearly defining the CLASH
ficatiOns.
The internal revenue schedules are still
unacted upon. A wide diversity of Opin-
ion yet remains regarding the scope and
rate of the income tax. From the data
at hand it is evident that a ! per cent
tax on corporations and legacies alone,
will not furnish the revenue needed to of
set the deficiencies next year. Either
theQrate must be increased to 2 per
cent, or if it remains at l per cent,
the scope of the tax must be broadeued
to include individual incomes of 81 600 or
less. SO at least said several members of
the committee this morning.
Meanwhile the suggestion is again
made that an additional tax be imposed
on whisky. There is no doubt that the
committee will consider that suggestion
seriously when the general subject of in
ternal taxation comes up.

DIAMOND sHoAL LIGHT.
The Work of Building the Structure to
Be Commenced.

Washington, Dec. 8.-The contracts for
beginning work on the construction ef a
lighthouse on Diamond Shoal off Cape
Hatteras, n. c., probably the most dan
gerous point on the Atlantic seaboard,
were awarded to-day. Borings necessary
to find solid foundation will be first
made. To start them, metal frame
work will be placed in position. For thi s
the contract has been awarded TO tn G
Weimer machine works of Lebanon, Pa,
at $24. 700.
The contract for pontoons to carry out
the metal framework to Cape Hatteras
has been awarded to Sandford & Brooks,
of Baltimore, at 81 ,l75.
Two years ago contract for the con-
struction of this lighthouse was made
with a Norfolk firm, and the caisson
which was to constitute the foundation
for the lighthouse was started from Nor
folk for Cape Hatteras, but the lighters
carrying it foundered and the caisson was
lost. The contractors then surrendered
the contract, having sustained loss of
$4,000.

A CAUCUS ON THE TARIFF.

The Representatives From the Coal
and Iron States Backing the Move
ment.
Washington, Dec. 8-A democratic
caucus to consider the conflicting inter
ests involved in the new tariff bill will
probably be held about the time the meas
ure is reported to the House. Gen.
Wheeler, of Alabama, is the moving spirit
in creating a sentiment favorable to the
caucus He believes all the democratic
members IN the Alabama, Georgia, Ten
nessee, Virginia and West Virginia dele
cations, as well as twelve democratic
members from Pennsylvania, will sign
the call. This will make hftY-One in all,
more than three times the number neces-
sary to insure the calling of a caucus. All
these gentlemen are particularly inter
ested in the iron ore and coal industries,
hence their desire to meet in caucus and
secure an agreement placing these arti-
cles again upon the dutiable list
The democratic members of the ways
and means committee have changed the
tin plate schedule from ad Valorem to a
specific duty, fixing the rate at is cents
per pound, which is just l cent lower than
the present rate.
SENATORS TO PUSH THE BILL.
The democratic members of the Senate
finance committee held another confer
ence this morning. The rather
informal talk developed the fact
that majority of the mem
bers intend to push considera ton Of the
tariff measure through the committee as
speedily as possible and, with that end in
view, will begin work independent of the
House. The committee will probably be-
gin its hearings on the bill while the bill
is being considered in the House.
There has been one change in the tariff
bill which is of great Importance. The
bill provided for it to take effect on March
l. The committee to-day decided to re-
port the bill next Wednesday to take
effect on June l, instead of March

AMERICAN GOODS ABROAD.
Their Sale Hurt by the Unattractive
Way In Which They Are Packed.

" 1y IN w hlcn They Are Packed.
Washington, Dec. S.-The consular and
commercial agents lof America. in all
parts of the world, are constantly calling
the attention Of American exporters to
the fact that we labor under many disad-
vantages whenever we compete with
English, French and German producers
by falling TO put up our goods in attract
i've form.
American groceries are especially at a
disadvantage when they come in contact
with some other manufacturers and pack
ers, because the European goods are put
up in delicate, clean and snowy way.
1t has become an old trick for French and
British exporters to secure American
goods and repack them, giving them their
own brands. The American article itself
is superior, but il does not have about it
the attractiyeuess which chardcterizes
the products ofits competitors.
About the sharpest contrasts between
the American and European product
which has been drawn by any consul has
just been received from Consul Monaghan,
at Chemnitz, Germany. He presents
photographs of three ordinary bales of
cotton, received in Germany from as
many countries-the United States, India
and Egypt. The first weighs 500 pounds,
the second 400, and the third 700 The
American bale has burst its coverings
and has bulged out from the top almost
to the bottom, so that it looks like a snow
ball. The India bale is as solid and trim
as plug of tobacco, while the Egyptian
bale, which was originally somewhat
larger than the one from our country,
stands upright and in good form, with its
hoop iron in perfect order. The compar-
isOD shows painful carelessness upon the
part of the American bailer and shipper.
