THE TARIFF.
The Bill Finally Completed by the
Senate Committee.


Senate COMMITTEES.
Washington, March 20. - The Demo
cratic members of the senate committee
on finance have completed their work OF
the tariff bill and will submit the changes
which they have made in the bill as
drafted by the subcommittees, at meet
ing of the full committee to be held to-
morrow. The principal change they have
made in the bill is in the sugar schedules,
and that has been modified SO rs to
take into account the color as well as the
polarization of sugar. The change made
will add 1-S cent per pound on the color
test, so rs to insure to the rehner this
much protection. This is in accordance
with the original intention of the COM
mittee, but it has claimed that the bill us
at first reported to the full committee
would discriminate against the refiners.
1t is understood that the bill will be
amended so as to make positive declara-
tions for the abrosatiOn of reciprocity
treaties made under the Mckinley acts.
This will be done simply to satisfy the
sugar men and leave no doubt as to the
intention of the bill in this respect, and
not because the Democratic members Of
the committee have any doubt that the
bill as it now stands would accomplish
this purpose. 1t is also probable that
the clauses in the bill abrogating the
Hawaiian treaty will be struck out.
