yond sxertins themselves to the utmost to
secure the attendance Of q quorum.
The Legislative and snarossinR clerks Of
the senate have bssn comparing the ststes
msnts of errors In the new tariR bill
made IN various papsrs to-day and say
there are only three srrors that need to
give the ofhesss Of the treasury any con.
csrn. Thcss are the paragraphs relating
to The frss admission Of aloohol Ia
the arts, the diamond schedule
and perhaps the ommission oe
. pseiod 10 the paragraph relating to
stamping foreign manufactures. Even In
the case Of Diamonds they believe the con-
struction placed will be that intended b.
congress. aud that they will pay the duty
imposed on precious stones. A 70 the
other srrors enumerated, II ID claimed by
these clerks that by no system Of con.
struction can the alleged mistakes In
