Glass Schedules.
(Ry Associatpd Press)


WASHINGTON. March l6.-The Sen
ate Committee on Finance resumed its
NJ 10 o'clock this morning. with
the intention of taking advantage OF the
remaining days Of the week, when
the senate will not be in session to COM
pletc the Tariff bill so as to presen. 1t
to the Senate early next week.
1t is understood that MIR. Mcpherson
Is making demands for an increase of
duties which may be granted in some
Instances, The probabilities are that
there VIII be notifications OF both the
crockery and the glass schedules, n
II is safe TO say that whatever changes
are made win be in the direction OF an
Increase OF rates.
The sugar schedule is now as II was
before the bill was reported to the full
Committee, a source of much anxiety.
and the Committee is constantly beset
by persons wanting changes
Senator Mcpherson has been beseiged
by his constituents ever since the bill
made public, and II Is stated has
received several hundred kilograms con-
corning the duty on window glass alone.
