POOR WILSON BILL.
Senate Finance Sub Committee
Cuts II All to Pieces.
when Reported Will Bsas Very Lille Rssem.
blascs b tAs Original.

WAsHISGroN, Feb. THE sub-commit-
tee on finance this morning. went over sew
eral schedules in the tariff bill and suggested
changes in q number merely tentative,
pending final action By the full committee
A member of the subcommittee said it
would be impossible to have the bill ready
by Tuesday. This senator declared that
when the measure was reported to the Sen
ate it would be strictly q revenue bill,
yielding sufficient revenues for the govern
ment under an economic administration of
affairs. This, he sait. meant duty on
sugar, and an INCREASE in the whiskey tax.
The bill has been practically divided into
five sections or schedules. In the first
schedule will be placed Ill articles bearing
compound or combined specific and ad va
lorem duties, the remaining duties to be all
ad valorem. In the schedule B will be
placed all articles bearing duty of 40 per
cent; schedule G. bearing 80 per cent /;
schedule d. bearing 20 per cent; schedule
E, bearing 10 per cent.
The bill, when reported, will contain NO
free list. Every article mentioned in il
will be subject to . duty of some kind and
those not named in the bill will be admitted
free.
The subcommittee has gone carefully
through the Wilson bill, selecting the
largely imported articles. As these arti-
cles were picked out they were placed in
the schedule, which, in the judgment of the
subcommittee, will cause them to yield the
greatest revenue. During the afternoon
the whiskey schedule was briefly discussed.
The talk was as to the advisability of in
creasin9 the tax and extending the bonded
period. No agreement was reached. 1t
was decided to have talk with the COM
missioner Of internal revenue on the sub
ject.
One point appears very clearly as a re-
suit of the sub-committee's labors up to
this point, and that is that the tariff bill
which they will put to their Democratic as
sociates ON the finance committee for ap-
proval will bear q very slight resemblance
to the original Wilson bill. The reason for
the extensive changes in contemplation and
already made 10 to place the duties so as to
secure the largest amount of revenue.

IN THE SENATE.
The Bill Repeating Federal Elections Law
Passed, 80 to 26.

WASHINGTON, Feb. THE Senate re.
sumed consideration of the bill to repeal
the federal elections Law. Gray said the
Democrats believed, from bitter experience,
that those laws were not only at war with
every tradition of local eelf-government,
and not only did they degrade the states !;
but they buttTessed up the very fraud that
they professedly intended to destroy. From
tfe inherent vice in their structure they had
been necessarily auxiliary to the party ma
chinery Of the party in power in the federal
government. In every city of 10000 in-
habitants they had been the ready means
by which during the last 20 years the Re-
publican party put its hand into the treas
ury to defray election charges and expenses
of the party.
Allison argued against the bill, stating
that ~ far - he knew, there was no public
opinion demanding the repeal Of the Fed
eral election laws.
Bate closed the debate. He made an
argument in support Of the bill. II
was susceptible of demonstration, he
said, that the chief object Of the recon
struction laws, of which the Federal elec-
ton laws formed part, had been to cap
ture the electoral voter Of the Southern
states and secure Republican senator's and
representatives. Ali plots failed and the
Republican party ceased to have . local
habisation in tho.e states, from which, four
years afrerward, it had all the senators and
all but one representative. Whether these
federal election laws were constitutional,
they were certainly in the year OF grace
1894, unvise aud unnecessasy. They TO-
spired more fraud 1t the elections than they
suppressed. The states should be left
to regulate all elections within their
borders.
At the close Of Bates speech, Chan
der withdrew the amendments hereto
fore offered BY him and moved another,
