THE REVENUE BILL.
It's Features Not Known to the Ways and
Means Minority.

Means Minority.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13-Messrs. Reed
and Burrows made another effort yester-
day to get the Democratic members OF the
ways and means committee TO give the
minority some indication as TO what the
internal revenue features OF the tariff bill
would contain, and from what sources
the majority expected to obtain the neces-
sary revenue 10 supply existing and
prospective deficiencies. But the major
ity absolutely declined TO give the minor
ity any information on the subject.
Chairman Wilson said that he hoped 10
get the customs portions of the bill ready
TO report tomorrow. Reed says he does
not believe that the tariff bill will be con-
Hidered az all until after the holidays.
Some of the Democratic members Of the
committee take the same view.
The session OF the committee yesterday
was limited 20 20 minutes. The sugar
schedule was the first considered. The
Republicans were undecided whether
they should offer amendments TO Il, or
allow IL 60 be passed upon without debate.
The latter course was adopted. When
the agricultural schedule was reached, n
motion was made 90 restore the duties i'm
the existing law. These motions were
made with especial reference 90 barley,
hops and live animals, but they were sue
ccssiyely defeated by strict party vote.

SKATING AT THE PARK.
THE PONDS At ROGER WILLIAMS
PARK cOvERED WIN 4 7HRONG.
several Thousands Enjoyed the First
Day of skating -Eonfres Cracked
Nierrily.

At last, after several weeks OF inpatient
anticipation, the heart OF the small boy
was made glad today by the announce
ment that the lakes at Roger Williams
park were open for skaters.
1t did not take him long 10 fall into ms
clothes and gulp down his breakfast ana
il was but q short time before the ever
ready skates were thrown over MS shoul-
der and he was on his way to the park.
And, on his arrival there, what did he
see :. Stretching out before him were the
emooth sheets OF ice, mirror-like in flaw
less purity, from the polished surfaces, the
rays OF the morning sun thrown BACK
with increased intensity.
II took but a moment for him to fasten
the runners onto his feet and then he was
away. Here and there he shot, flying with
the speed OF the wind over the polished sur
face, the steef ykatc5 serdfny etst-eheerfnl
penetrating sounds as they were plowed
over the ice. Now he darted with in
credible swiftness over the pond, and
again he cut strange and grotesquc
figures on the ice with his sharp runners.
Covered with Merry skaters
Time passed and soon the ponds were
covered with the merry skaters. They
came alone, by pairs and in squads,
and all were bent on enjoying to the
utmost days unalloyed pleasure.
And they had it too.
The ice was perfect. For several days
superintendent Hathaway has had body
OF men employed on the ponds getting
the frozen surfaces into good condition
and today the result of the work was
plainly manifest. Never before has the
ice been in better condition and the
skaters few here and there in total
abandonment, their happy laughter and
bright, sparkling eyes testifying fully
how great was their enjoyment.
Every one took advantage OF the day
and appeared on the ponds. Those who
could skate glidcd merrily over the ice,
while those who couldn't Setruck out to
the best OF their ability and could be
seen in various parts of the pond lying on
the ice in more or less graceful positions.
But then fall or two doe:
not dsmpen the ardor OF
those who can't skate, and they
may be observed striking out all over the
pond. Sometimes, by pure accident, the
amateur succeeds in getting up speed
enough to keep his balance and as he
shoots toward the shore his amazed ex-
pressions and sgonized glances in looking
about for soft spot to fall upon are truly
iaughable.
