Tafitf Bill Not Reported.

WASHINGTON, Feb. .7.-The Demo.
cratic members of the senate fuance
committee failed to present the tariff
bin to the full committee yesterday
morning, as they had expected to do
The committee met promptly at 10
o'clock, all the members being present
except Senators Harris, Vance and
Jones of Nevada, who are absent from
the city, and Senator Mills. who in
disposed. Senator Mcpherson was
there to take his place, however The
committee renamed in the finance
committee room only few minutes
8 when the Democratic members came
out and went into the Democratic au
Gus.
1t was given out as the canse for the
failure to present the bill was that there
were "some errors" in the bill as it had
come from the printer, making it nee
essary to postpone its presentation, and
it is understood that some matters have
not yet been decided upon by the SUBJ
8 committee.
The Democratic senatorial caucus
ad journed at noon, the hour for the
senate to convene, without accomplish
ing anything save an agreement and
will reconvene about 10 o'clock TO.
day 1t is understood that the eau
Gus of WAS devoted principally and
almost entirely to speech making and to
consideration of the policy of the party
with reference to The tariff bill when it
shall reach the senate There was also
some diffusion as to whether the bill
should be submitted to the full COM
mittee before it had been inspected and
passed upon by the caucus and it may
8 be inferred from the fact that an ad-
journment was taken to given hour
that arguments of those fayoring SUBJ
mission to the caucus prevailed,
The delay in reporting the tariff bill
to the full committee by the sub finance
committee was caused by further eff
forts of tariff trainers to adjust differ
ences with individual Democratic sem
ators who are asking protection for
specific industries.

tious Names and Making False Bills.

flagrantly and persistently violating
the interstate commerce law. He shows
how his road has suffered i'll cotton
shipments and states that the tempta-
ton is being made for solvent railway
corporations TO be wrecked in order TO
get the advantage or opportunity for
Sinking responsibility under receivers.
He says that these receivers are making
out fictitious expense bills. carrying fic-
titious names on their pay rolls and re-
sorting to every posi- bic means to con
ceal the avenues through which rebates
get to those from whom transportation
ami shipments are secured.

ciafion last week a meeting of the asso-
citation was called for Atlanta en- Feb.
