AS already stated. Secretary Carlisle
prepared the original amendment in ae-
cordance with the compromise that had
been reached By the democratic mem
bers OF the finance committee, and the
alterations made in the amendment at
the capitol were made TO meet the views
of the committee
The committee then decided that a
provision should be incorporated pro-
viding that the Hawaiian reciprocity
treaty should not be effected by the
treaties was obtained by Secretary Car
Isle from the room of the foreign COM
mittee and he wrote the provision which
preserves the Hawaiian treaty. All this
is in the handwriting of Secretary Car
isle.
This event occurred on Saturday. Nav
s. That night is occurred to the secre-
tary that the first para graph of the
schedule, providing for the repeal of the
bounty, fixed the date of repeal for July
l. 1894, while the duty on sugar was not
to be operative until Jan. l. 1895. Know
ing 1t to be the intention of the commit
tee to issue print Of the amended bill
on Monday, Secretary Carlisle. on sun
day morning, called al the house Of Sen
ator Jones for the purpose Of directing
attention to the discrepancy. If the
bounty should be repealed on July l, 1894,
and the duty should not be imposed until
six months thereafter, there would be
period during which there would be
neither bounty nor duty
Mr. Carlisle was satisfied that the dis
- n far n
bill was printed. but he naturally desired
to save the committee from the criticism
which would follow so palpable an error.
Finding that Senator Jones had gone 10
the capitol, the secretary drove there ana
found Senators Mcpherson. Jones and
Vest and Representative Breckenridge OF
the ways and means committee engaged
in going over the bill. That visit on sun
day morning, May 6, was the only visit
made by Mr.. Carlisle to the committee
without an invitation, and the change al
luded to is the only original suggestion
he made in connection with the formula
ton of the bill.
With reference to the giving of a letter
to Mr.. Havemeyer, introducing that gem
tleman to Senator Mills, the following
statement is made: That was mere
matter Of courtesy and routine. When
Mr.. Havemeyer presented himself at the
treasury department he was informed
that he should call upon those who were
framing the bill. Mr.. Havemeyer had
slight acquaintance with Mr.. Mills, and,
in order to save time and insure him a
conference with this senator Secretary
Carlisle, at the request Of Mr. Havemeyer,
gave him a note Of introduction. There
was nothing improper or unusual in this.
Similar letters had been given by Mr..
Carlisle to gentlemen who called on him
in connection with the tariff, some of
whom were manufacturers whom he per
changes in the rates fixed by the COM
mittee.
The story that Mr.. Carlisle called on
the committee on his own motion and in
sisted that a certain schedule for sugar
should be adopted. for the reason that
the sugar trust had made liberal contri-
buttons to the democratic fund. is denied
mphatically by the secretary.
