WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-The revised
tariff bill was laid before the ways aud
means committee yesterday The
changes which have been made during
the two weeks have been noted from
time TO time, the most important being

of the majority of the committee say
the changes made are mostly from ad
valorem to specific duties where such
changes were necessary from busi-
ness standpoint The bill was taken
up by the full committee by sections,
and the republican members offered
amendments and discussed the
bill from time to time. It is the inten-
tion of the majority members to vote
down all amendments offered by the
republ cans and report the bill as soon
as possible in its present revised condi-
tion.
The committee reached the sugar
schedule before adjournment, but no
vote was taken; neither was any amend
ment offered. It is likely an amend
ment will be offered this morning, but
no changes will be made. The ajor-
