terday in reference to slight change in some
of the provisions OF the plan. As far as could be
learned yesterday, the Commissioners are unani-
NOUS In the support Of the Wilson plan They
deem 1t the only plausible way OF solving the
rapid transit problem in this city and they are
seconded In their opinion by many leVel-headed
iren who have given the subject study
The irm OF II. r. Wilson & Co. has been SO active
in trying 10 give the city the best plan Tor RAPID
transit that the Commissioners consider lis oner
as the only one which has had any backbone 70 II:
Mr.. Wilson said yesterday that IL the people OF
the city really wanted rapid transit now was the

the city The Bushe scheme for a. elevated roai
has received little no favor from the CITY, ana
there Is every likelihood OF its being dropped en-
tirely from the consideration OF the commission.
The hop-growers syndicate is still making an EFFORT
10 keep the Bushe plan before the Conmission'
but the approval that has been given to the under,
ground route makes 1t likely that an elevated
scheme will not through.

WASHINGTON. Jan. 24-The Internal Revenue
bill has at last been completed. and the majority
of the Committee on Ways and Means to-day
ordered It to be reported to the House. which
was done Just before recess. This order was
not made until after q short parliamentary
slxirrnish in which several Of the Democratic
members of the committee showed strong
disposition to filibus:er. On the first rollcan
the Republican members RETAINED from voting
inasmuch as q Democratic quorum was present.
and they had not been consulted in the prepara-
ton of the bill Before the result could be an
nounceJ Mr. Bynum who had voted with Messrs
Cochran and Stevens in the negative. Withdrew
his vote and broke the quorum. The roll was
called second time. and the Republican mem-
bers responded to their names. whereupon MI
Bynum voted in the affirmative. leaving Messrs
Cochran and Stevens in the lurch Both OF
them again voted In the negative, and the FORMER
gave notice that he would file a minority report
The decision of the majority Of the committee
TO bring in the Internal Revenue provisions as
separate measure instead of making them an
appendagc to the Tariff bill will not preclude
the offering OF them as amendments to that
measure 1t is understood that this Will be done
by Mr. Tarsney of Missouri, who is a member
Of the committee. but not OF the subcommittee
which framed the sections.
Iron ore will take lts place on the free list
alongside coal and sugar If the decision OF the

The final vote to sustain the majority or the
Committee on Ways and Means came on Coionei
Oatess amendment to fix the duty at 40 cents
a ton. which was reduction Of 80 cents ton
and 1t was rejected by 50 yeas and lO9 nays

The Park Board had quorum yesterday for

mssoners were on hand. The unanimous passage
of the Sheffield BIZ In the Assembly on Tuesday
had made it practically that the Harlem
River Speedway would be built with side
walks. principle for which Commissioner Dana
had contended through many months Of conflict:
but this recognized fact did not prevent the Com
missoners from getting FESTIVE at times. and
showing that the feeling engendered In the long
battle had not wholly subsided.
After the introductory proceedings President
Tappen offered a resolution which he declared
adopted later. IT provided for the separation OF
the sidewalk part Of the contract from the speed
way In accordance with motion Secretary Burns
then opened the bids which had been filed by the
following builders and contractors: Broadhead &

long discussion then followed, and 1t was tie
cided to wipe out the Happen resolution. 1t left the
board still declaring for sidewalk only.
Commissioner Clauscn then sprang a surprise
upon Commissioner Dana, which Messrs. Straus and
Causen had been preparing for him. 1t was reso-
luton beginning as follows: THE Park Commits

lem River Driveway law be still further amended

them by that act" The resolution added that The
work was too extensive for the department with
its other duties. to undertake

said little The Clausen motion was adopted; after
some talk about It's effect, Messrs Happen. Stratus
and Causen voting aye" and Mr.. Dana refusing
TO vote. .
You don't object to being relieved of the trouble
altogether. do YOU asked Mr.. Straus TO Mr.. Dana
Mr.. Dana replied that he dd have some pride In
''Why don't you turn it the landscape

"He isn't competent. In my opinion" returned
Mr. Clausen.
Nor in mine" added Mr. Straus
IL don't how this board can ask the Legs
