WAsHINGToS, ID. c., March 2. - The
Democratic majority Of the Senate
Committee on Finance gave the entire
day TO Senators who advocate changes
in the Wilson bill, as amended by the
Senate 50 b-csmmittee on tariff.
Senator Hill was the first OF the Sen
ators Of this class admitted.
Mr.. Hill was armed with large num-
Der Of documents which he used to re-
inforce his arguments. He pleaded for
protection for the manufacturing inter-
ests of the New England States as well
a. for New York, as none Of those
States are represented In the Senate by
Democratic Senators. The committee
listened with apparent interest 10 all the
suggestions made. In some cases Of min
or importance duties were fixed, out 10 a
large majority OF cases decision was re-
served for private consultation BY the
members OF the committee. A large
share Of the day was given 10 discus
sion Of the income tax and the changes
made BY the committee from specific TO
sd Yslorem duties.
On these features Senator Hill re-
peated and amplifed the arguments
MADE 10 opposition ia the caucus.
The committee say that they have not
the constitutional right TO divide a bill
which has originated in the House Of
Representative, and they contend that
the ad yalOrem system is 10 accordance
with Democretic policy and thai the
duty can be collected under this system
as we'll as under the specific duty. II

CHARLESTON, W.. VA, March -
Peace has re.gned at Eagle to-day. The
strikers held a secret meeting at Mont
gomery late last night. but what decis-
ion they made in regard to their future
action is not known. Their meeting
gave rise TO the belief that they were
planning another attack on the Eagle
mines. and moved the Sheriff, the op-
orators, and officers in command Of the
military to advise the Governor not to
withdraw the troops. The strikers dis
persed late at night, however. and went
TO their homes. Governor MacCorkle
received a dispatch to-day at noon from
Sheriff Hinman and Prosecuting Attor-
ney c. W. Dunn, of Fayette county,
stating that strikers from Morris
Creek and other points had attacked
the miners at the PoWellton mines, both
from the front and rear. and asked the
Governor 90 send troops to that place.
The Governor dispatched Major Banks
20 investigate the matter thoroughly,
aud If found necessary to give the civil
authorities what assistance was needed,
but to be careful not to take any troops
to Powellton unless it was absolutely
necessary. A committee Of the coal
operators waited upon the Governor
this afternoon, among them Thomas
Sharpe. Enoch and John Carver w.
ID. Lewis aud SyningtOn Macdonald,
and urged him not to remove
the troops from the scene
of trouble. The Governor told them
that be would hold the troops there as
long as it was necessary TO assist the
civil officers 10 protecting the lives Of
citizens, but that be would not keep
them there to do patrol duty; that they
and the civil authorities must DC that
