How the Senate Finance Committee Pro
poses to Revise 1t.

How the Senate Finance Committee Pro-
poses to Revise 1t.
WASHINGTON, Feb. lit is understood
q draft of the tariff bill, az revised by
the subcommittee of the Democratic
members of the senate finance commit.
tee, is being printed. Among the
changes said to have been made are :
One cent pound on all kihps OF sugar.
2 cents on coffee, 80 cents ton on coal.
and a duty on iron ore; also that the
bonded period on whisky be made five
years. 1t is also understood to be the
intention to report the bill next week.
The income tax remains in.
Senator Voorhees, declined to make a
direct reply to question as to the cor
rectness of the report that the Demo-
cratic members OF the senate finance
committee had ordered the printing of
a draft OF the tariff bill agreed upon by
them, but other members of the Demo-
cratic side of the committee, while
a bill, admitted that bill containing
the suggestions of some members had
gone to the printer and would be used as
= basis of work by the committee. This
bill, it Is understood, makes liberal
concessions to the sugar and coal inter
eete, and also makes q material change
in the income tax feature of the house
bill, providing for tax upon incomes OF
corporations.
Among the rumors flying thick and
fast about the senate is one to the effect
that the income tax is omitted. SEN
stors Hill, Murphy and German will
vote with the Republicans to recommit
when the bill is reported to the senate.
On the other hand, the bill, with the
income tax retained, will probably COM
mand the vote of the three Populist
senators, which it would lose if this tax
should be left out. Senator Martin also
said today that in case the tax should
be omitted he would feel very much
tempted to vote against the bill.

by the law will not permit the enlist
ment of sufficient number. The big
cruisers Columbia, Olympia, Marblehead,
Montgomery. Atlanta, Boston, Raleigh,
Cincinnati, Alert and Marion are all to

About half that number lie available.
Additional authority will be required
from congress to enlist sufficient men

the matter before that body.

As Soon as Minister Guzman Is Presented

There is likely to be a forward movement
shortly in the case of Gen. Antonio Ezeta,
the late Vice President of Salvador. now a
fugitive on board the United States steamer
Bennington.
Yesterday afternoon Dr. Guzman, the Mic
araguan minister, received by mail his Gre
dentials as Minister for Salvador ard immedi-
ately made arrangements for his presenta-
tion TO the president in his new capacity.
The minister also received papers containing
a full statement of the Ezeta case, with all
affidavits and warrants and other things nee
essary for presentation Of the application
for the extradition and surrender of Ezeta to
the provisional government of Salvador. The
general is accused OF robbery, malfeasance in
Office, and murder; all extraditable ofienses
under tho treaty with Salvador.
As soon as DR.. Guzman is presented as Sal
vadorian minister he will press the case on
the attention Of the State Department. Mean
while Secretary Gresham is waiting to hear
from United States Minister Baker on the
propriety Of recognizing the present provi-
sional government of Salvador before consid-
ering the question of surrendering Ezeta.

Hunter came into the club one night with a
copy Of the Tattler in his hand. and stood up
on the billiard table and read this item:
3 "It is rumored that a very pretty fight is on
between a well-known man about town and a
certain popular club, the reason being that
the said man about town has sworn that he
will turn the clubs race course into grave
yard within year."
Some of the men laughed at this, for they
remembered the clause in our lease and did
not think 1t possible that Howard would paw
SO high price for his revenge. But one or
two OF us who knew something Of his nature
decided that we had best not be caught nap
ping, and agreed to look into the matter care
fully the next day.
But the next day twas day too far to

there was a feeling that he cared more about
the privilege Of the race course than for any

ABOUT PEOPLE YOU KNOW
What They Are Doing and What
They Say.

EDITOR TINES: The oracle Of these modern
days is n good newspaper. The TIMES has
done so many good things for this city and iti
people that space in its columns is respect
fully requested to communicate what may be
considered valuable information pro bono
puDlico.
While travelling to the Pacific coast In
search Of health, attention was called, espe-
cially to the cities of Chicago and San Fran
cisco, to the great number of specialists. To
intelligentlv employ my leisure hours the
study Of diseases of the throat and lungs
seemed most opportune, rs acute bronchitis
and catarrh frequently gave warning Of more
serious trouble to my lungs. OF many
methods OF treatment the only one that seemed
rational was that which vaporized the medi
cine and by means Of modern invention ena-
bled the physician to reach the spot by direct
application. This would save the stomach
from being deluged with fluids which are both
foreign and harmful to that organ. The
stomach being free from drugs food would
digest, assimilation and blood making go on
to the great benefit of the general condition.
The climate of California permitted out door
exercise, and improved my opportunities by
walking. While this was Of great benefit to
my general health it did not cure the bron-
chitis. Dreading the return Of this disease in
acute form inquiries were made for u special
ist having experience in the treatment Of
throat, chest, lung. and catarrh of the mucous
membranes. Through friends was advised

derful instruments, some Of them of his own
invention, by which the medicine Is atomized
and broughtto bear directly upon the infiamed
parts is revelation Of modern surgery, as
applied to human necessities. The operation
and method of treatment is absolutely pain
less, in fact. the treatment is soothing. and
the healing process begins at once. Having
been cured OF catarrh by DIR. Riegel. and my
throat and lungs so greatly benefited, graft
tude compels me to call attention to the fact
that We have IN Washington a specialist on
the diseases above referred to equal to those

lie Says that If the Government Inspectors
Had Done Their Duty There Would
Have Been No Trouble.
| Mr.. Frick, Of the Carnegie Steel Company,
was the witness before the Naval Committee
in the armor plate investigation yesterday,
and attracted an unusually large audience.
Regarding the penalty exacted by the gov
| ernment. Mr.. Frick said that he regarded the
penalty levied by the Navy Department as ex-
orbitanr, and had appealed to the President,
| as he was permitted to do under the law. He
considered the Presidents decision unjust in
| the amount exacted, since all the company
had stipulated to do was to furnish the best
armor.
He did not regard the information to the
government as conspiracy on the part oil
| former strikers for revenge, but rather as
| money making scheme.
Mr.. Frick did not go into details regarding
Craig's information to him. He told also of
q visit from an unknown elderly lady. who
said she came from Washington and inti-
mated that for money she could give some
valuable information.
''If the government inspectors had done
! their duty there would have been no trouble,
said he. II knew they were there to see that
the work was properly done and depended
on them. You, gentlemen, will see how that
was when you come to the works.
Mr.. Frick could not see how 1t ben Gifted
his men TO slight their work as it was OF no
financial advantage to them. He did not in
dorse their conduct in deceiv!ng the inspect
ors and thought they should have explained
when 1t was necessary to deyiate from the
regular methods to secure the best results.
Mr.. Millard Hunsiker, assistant to Chair
man Frick, who had been in charge of the
armor plate department since last January,
testified that he had no personal knowledge
Of the frauds. Mr.. Hunsiker said that the
man who claimed to have manipulated the
test machine was an inexperienced boy who
probably exaggerated the manipulations in
order to get money from the government. As
to another witness, Shepard, Mr.. Hunsiker
said he was a favored employe, whose wages
had been advanced and who would have been
gwen an important position, yet with view
OF securing profit from the government he
turned up as witness against the company.
Representative Dolliver asked about the
fake" record testified to as kept by Supt
Kline. Mr.. Hunsiker said he knew nothing
OF such record. but he considered the explana-
tion given in klines testimony reasonable
one. He believed the action OF Kline was
done with good reasons.

Some weeks ago Supt. Stump. of

nation tending to show that alien contract
laborers were being employed in the coal
fields of Perry and Athens counties, Ohio.
An inspector was sent out at once to make an
investigation. In his report, received yester-
day, the inspector states that after confer
ence with the officials of the Miners Union
ard others, he is well satisfied that there have
been no infraetions OF the law. The union
officers themselves discredlt the story, and
state that no ono can secure work in that
section except he belongs to the Union. and
that if an outsider should seek work without
producing his certificate of membership. he
would be compelled at once to leave the COM
munity.
