WASHINGTON. March 19.-The Demo
cratic members of the senate committee
on finance have completed their work
on the tariff bill, and will submit
changes which they have made IN the
bill as drafted by the subcom-
mittee, at a meeting of the full commit
tee to be held during the afternoon.
The principal changes which they
have made in the bill are
in the sugar schedule, and
that has been modified SO as to take
into account the color as we'll as the
polarization of sugar. The change
made will add one-eighth of cent per
pound on the color test, so as to insure
to the refner this much protection.
This is in accordance with the original
intention Of the committee, but it has
been claimed that the bill as at first re-
ported to the full committee would dis
criminate against the refners.
1t is understood that the bill will be
amended so as to make positive declara-
tions for the abrogation of the reclpro-
cities treaties made under the Mckinley
acts. This will be done simply to sat
isfy the sugar men and leave no do1sa
as to the intention of the bill in this
respect and not because the Democratic
members of the committee have any
doubt that tho bill as it now stands
would accomplish this purpose.
To Eliminate Hawaiian Matters.
1t is also probable that the clauses in
the bill abrogating the Hawaiian treaty
will be struck out. There has been
some contention among the Democratic
members on this score, and two or three
votes have teen taken upon a PROPOSE
ton to strike it out, majority at first
opposing this change. The principal
argument which has been made for 1t
was based upon the ground Of ex-
pediency, and it has been urged that if
it should be permitted to remain it
would be the means Of introducing The
Hawaiian complications into the tariff
bill discussion. All have agreed that
this should be avoided, if possible, with
out surrendering too much, and the
latest reliable statement is that this
argument has won, and that
the amendment will be stricken out.
These, together with the restoration
of the present law regarding the tax on
domestic cigars, will be the principal
changes made The lead ore duty and
whisky tax, as we'll as the duty placed
upon coal and iron ore, will remain as
placed in the bill by the Democratic
members. There will be few changes
in the fruit schedule, and a
few minor articles which were
taken from the free list and made
dutiablc will lie restored to the free list.
The bill when it next sees light, will
also show several changes in the admin
istrative part Of the bill, and the
amendment inserted by the members of
the committee providing for the repeal
of the entire Mckinley act will be mod
flied, to either specify what portions of
that act shall remain in force, or to re-
peal the parts in conflict with the pend
ing act.

WAITE WEAKENED.
COLORADO SUPREME COURT WILL
DECIDE OENVER'S CONTEST,

The Governor Having Finally Decided TO
Allow the Matter to Go to That Tri-
bunal - Militia Ordered to Cripple
Creek on Account of Mining Troubles.
DENVER, March 1.-THE war be-
tween Governor Waite and the old tire
and police board is over and the supreme
court will settle the matter.
The situation during the morning was
as the "calm" after the storm, the peo-
pie anxiously awaiting the decision of
the chief executive on the proposition to
submit the matter to the supreme court
and the governor undecided as to what
course to pursue. There was no doubt
but he would gladly compromise the
disgraceful affair were-it not for all the
i'll advice of some intimate friends and
fear for his executive dignity.
The matter had assumed such features
that the governor was almost compelled
to adopt the suggestions of his legal adj
yisers and allow the courts to settle the
trouble.
For 10 days the fire and police de-
partments have been utterly demoral-
lied, and the city has been without pro-
lection of any kind. The city hall was
in the possession of armed policemen
and deputy sheriffs; the building filled
with arms and ammunition and dyna-
mite; the local militia was under or
ders; the whole state militia prepared to
march on Denver, and five companies
of the United States troops in the city
ready for the emergency that was GER
tain to occur if the tension continued;
the governor Was being guarded day
and night by armed men, afraid OF vlo-
lence or arrest, and the whole populace
was in feverish condition.
At II o'clock, Governor Waite de-
cided to Submit the trouble to the su-
preme court for settlement His COM
munication to the court makes over
1900 words, and after reciting the case
from the first up to the present day, he
asks the court to decide which men con-
stitute the legal fire and police and excise
commissioners of the city Of Denver.
This ends for the present the contro-
versy which three days ago threatened
to plunge the city and state into blood

MORE WIND.

Barwick's New Quarters Much Higher
Than the Old.
Director Barwick informs a RECORD
UNION reporter that al his new station
on the Government building, at Seventh
and X streets, there will be considerable
more wind registered than at his old
quarters.
From comparative observations during
the twenty-four hours running from A.
NJ of y pril 30th to A. NJ. of May 1st there
was recorded in the old office, on j, be-
tween Front and Second streets, 179
miles of wind, while at the new office
during the same hours there was re-
corded ODD miles.
Whether this extra amount of wind is
duo to the number Of Government en-
ployes gathered together under one roof,
the Observer does not say, but the sclen-
tific reason Mr.. Barwick gives is the
greater elevation of the anemometer cups
above the ground. At the old office they
were about seventy-tWo feet above the
ground, while at the new office they must
be l50 feet or more above the ground.
Their exact elevation will be furnished
Mr.. Barwick by City Surveyor Mullaney
to-day.

WHEELS FOR POLICEMEN.
Not for Their Heaus, But Their Feet
The Oakland Plan.

Not for Their Heads, But Their Feet
The Oakland Plan.
Since the successful employment of the
bicycle in military service, the idea has
struck some of the Oakland police that it
might be successfully introduced in
patrol work. Several of the Oakland
officers have been experimenting with
the wheel, and are satisfied that in the
suburban precincts it beats walking.
The noiseless steed and the quick time
enable an officer to cover his beat with
greater dispatch, and the results, so far
as the officers are concerned, have been
most satisfactory. There is now some
talk OF organizing policemen's cycling
club.
Sacramento is situated very much like
Oakland, but her police force is very
much smaller in proportion to the popu-
lation. There are but six men on duty at
one time, ard the beats run from X street
south TO Y street.
II might not be bad idea to consider
the adyisability OF introducing the bicy-
Gle for patrol duty in the larger districts
up town, portions of which must neces-
sarily be neglected under the present
condition of things.
