WASHINGTON, April 26.-The Demo

June. IL Is understood that as soon az
the Republicans are convinced that th'
majority has soidiied. they will clos.
debate on their part. and permit the biI'
to come to a final vote.
The interview Secretary Carlisle nae
with the Democratic members OF th'
Finance Committee was OF the most satis
factory character, and the members were
tonight greatly encouraged over the out
look. The income-taX Will be amended by
making that tax operative for fixed

1t is also known that the sugar sched

an ad-valorem duty. and that 1t will b'
fixed at 40 per cent. ad valorem on al

There were numerous conferences to
day between Senator Jones who appear

members Of the party. and Mr.. Jones thi
evening said that he believed the part,
