have been organized during late years,
and the active military will make a mag
nihcent display.

WASHINGTON, D. c., March l6.-Scna-
tors representing both tho Democratic
and Republican sldos OF tho senate
committee on finance expressed tho
opinion ut tho close OF tho committee
meeting to-day that tho bill would bo
reported to tho senate on Tuesday next.
They stated, however, that no agree.
ment to this effect had bcen entered
into, but that tho opinion was the re-
suit Of knowledge OF tho progress that
had bOen made upon the bill since the
full committee has been in possession
OF it.
Tho entiro time Of tho meeting,
which continued from 10 n. III. until
$3.50 p. n., was devoted TO that portion
relating 10 tho methods OF collecting the
revenues in both tho tariH and the in
ternni revenue parts OF tho bill. and it
was announced at tho cose that thia
part Of the work had been practically
completed.
When the Republican members OF
the committee Withdrew the Domo-
cratic members went into consultation
upon tho suggestions made by tho Re-
publican members. They had discuss
ed with the Republicans the points
made by them in full committee, but
found it necessary to hold party con-
ference before announcing decision.
There arc some Indications that several
changes will be made in accordance
with the opinions advanced.
The committee will take up the sched-
ule at its meeting tomorrow and it is
presumed will devote itself to consider
ing suggestions bearing upon various
paragraphs OF the bill which the men,
bers, both Democrats and Republicans,
may think should be changed.
The appearances now arc that the
Democrats will now have quiteo large
number OF changes which they will agree
upon and that these changes will in
clude the transfers OF number OF arti-
cles to the free list which were made du.
table in the senate bill before the su-
gar duty mad been agreed upon. The
treasury department estimates make it
appear that the bill will give q larger
revenue than will be needed by tho gov
ernmcut, which will afford the commit
tee au opportunity to make greater
number OF articles FREQ than would
have been possible ii tho sugar duty
had not been imposed.

defense OF the bureau, the importance
OF its work and the efficiency OF tho

ments, the house adjourned. NJ

him to depart from the course followed
