There he halted and said that 10 more

AGREEMENT REACHED.
Disafeoted Senators Satisfied with
the Revised Tariff Bill.
SUGAR SCHEDULE AND INCOME TAX

An Ad vaIorem Instead of Specific Duty
on Sugar and a Time Limit for the En-
foreement of the Income Tax-The BILL
May Pass by July I.
WASHINGTON, April oT-The principal
changes to be made in the tariff bill in &C.
cordauce with the agreement made by the
Democratic senators are in the income tax
and the sugar schedule. The sugar men
have been from the first clamorous for an
al @alorem instead Of specific duty, and
that change has been conceded. The de-
tails have not been absolutely fixed, but
there is little doubt, if any, that the sugar
schedule will be entirely supplanted by a
new one, which win provide uniform
duty of 40 per cent. ad yalorem, with an
addition of one-eighth of cent for refined
sugar.
The principal change In the income tax
is provision for the limitation of the
time that the law shall remain In opera
ton. This is another matter of detail
which has not been absolutely agreed
upon, but the principle having been con-
ceded the senators who have the oompro-
mise in hand do not consider that there il
any possibility of failure on account of the
period. 1t will probably be about five or
six years. There will be no change In the
rate Of taxation, which will be left at Q
per cent on amounts in excess of e. 900.
Some changes will take place in the ad-
ministrative features of the bill, and some
of them look towards the equalization of
the tax, so as to make it bear alike upon
all classes which it may effect.
A number Of changes in the rnte Of duty
will be made in the iron schedule, in
which there will be slight advance over
the rates fixed by the pending bill. Car
pets will also secure an advance. In many
cases the rates fixed in the house bill will
repluce ttns" of the bill reoorted to the

HYArTsrowN, Md, April 21. - When
Coxey and his followers marched out of
Frederick the old town turned out to see
the start. Men, women and children
hocked on the streets and at the camp
grounds. The independent drum corps of
Frederick, with flutes and corncts added
TO the flies and drums, accompanied the
Commonweulers on their start. Then
again the baGpipes and the pipers of Com
mune so agitated the cur that there was
another exciting, if not blithesome, elc-
ment added to the event of starting. 70
be sure, one Coxey man was left in the
Frederick Jail, but this caused no depres-
sion. He who tramps with an army must
suffer to some degree, whether haiights
or not.
The trail lny southwark oyer the George
town pike, and the tramp of eleven miles
from Frederick to this little hamlet was
over the best reads yet tired by the weary
Commonwealers Sheriff Zimmerman. Of
Frederick county, who went out TO meet
the army with thirty heavily armed depu-
ties, made concession to the peaceful sit
nation, and started to shoe the army out
of the county with only ten deputies.
They only came out from Frederick abeut
/ FIVE miles, however, when they started
back. Sheriff Zimmerman was presented
by Coxey with marshal's badge "as q
mark of good conduct"
They reached here about 3 o'clock and
went ints--aamp in the bend of little
snountain stream, in pretty valley. The
exhibition canvas was set up and this
corralled the Coxeyites. The men came
outside soon, however, and scattered
aiong the stream TO wash themselves and
sAilir clothing.

Another material concession which Will
be made TO the disafiected senators will be
the restoration Of the specific system in
many places where the finance COMMITTEES
changed the house bill by the substitu-
tion of ad valorem duties. The manufac-
turers have made especial complaint Of
the nd valorem system because of the op-
portunity which they say it offers foT
fraud. Their senators have supported
them in this representation, and the finance
committee, while still retaining their
confidence in the fairness of nd valorem
methods, have decided to yield the point
in many instances for the sake of harmony
and with the hope Of securing the jealous
support OF the united party in the senate.
There will be no change in the rates
fixed on iron ore, lead ore or coal, and
wool will remain on the free list. The
whisky tax as reported by the finance COM
mittee will also be undisturbed.
1t is understood that the entire Demo-
cratic majority of the finance committee
is in hearty accord upon the wisdom Of
the proposed changes. Senator Jones, Of
Arkansas, has taken the initiative and
