NEW YORK, Dec. 1.-THE Americas
cup committee, which have absolute
power from The New York Yacht club
to receive and act upon the letter and
challenge sem by Lord Dunraven re-
garding a race next year for the Amer
icas cup, held a meeting yesterday at
the office of ex-Commodore Smith. and
after a consultation, in which they
could not yield to all the points asked
by Lord Dunraven, and to prevent fur
ther delay, they cabled Lord Dunraven
as follows:
"DUNRAvEN, LONDON: Can you agree
to conditions as to holding the cup.
If the challenger will sign a receipt
for the cup as provided in the deed of
1887 we will accept the challenge. We
must adhere to the ten-months' notice
from December 8. but will advance
dates later if possible. Think best to
leave all other unsettled questions un-
til you arrive.

VOORHEES,. VOICE.

IL is Raised for the First Time Since the
Elections IN Current Questions OF tho
Dsy-His Prophecy Regarding h Wilson
Bin-The Bill. rs Ii Passed the Senate, =
Valuable Work OF Tariff Reform.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 11.-Scnator VOor~
hees, chairman of the senate finance
committee, speaking to a reporter OF
the United Press, made public, for the
first time since the elections, his views
on some of the current questions of the
day, notably cloture, silver and the
tariff.
MY position" said Mr.. Voorhees,,
with respect to further tariff leg:sla-
ton, must be determined by the ques-
ton of revenue for the government. /
would be glad, of course, to have
other raw materials free from tariff
taxation, if such a thing were posi-
BILE. but in the present condition of
the treasury, who will darc to enter
upon legislation making a still
greater deficiency in the public
revenues? l want my name associ-
ated with no deficiencies in the
treasury, thereby requiring govern
ment bonds to be issued and sold. I
pointed out As early as April last that
the Wilson bill as it passed the house.
if it became a law, without amend
ments, would result in a large def
cheney in the evenue of the govern
ment, and Secretary Carlisle's letter
was simply the official confirmation of
what / said.
THE bill as it passed the senate and
became a law, provided beyond all
question a sufficient amount of rev.
enue, and the only reason why a de-
ticiency exists in the treasury arises
from the fact that many OF its impor-
tant provisions, the income tax among
others. nave not yet come into opera
ton. Their postponement was made
necessary by the opponents of the bill"
Mr.. Voorhees, took strong grounds
against any further ''tinker;ng' with
the tariff at this session of congress.
Touching the sugar question Mr..
Voorhees, said: For the present, at
least, this source of revenue cannot be
disturbed. 1t is a pleasure in this on
nection, however, to know that the
price of sugar to the consumer has
gone down instead of up under
the existing law ever since it's
enactment, plainly owing to the
repeal of the wretched bounty
tax and the extinction of three-fourths
of the tax to the trust. the truth is
that a very extensive and valuable
work of tariff reform has been accom-
plished by the democratic party, and
the law of last August, if undisturbed
for a reasonable time, will prove itself
far better than ever its friends sup
posed it to be when it was enacted.

In the Penitentiary Once More.

In the Penitentiary Once More.
Samuel Carson was turned over to
the Missouri penitentiary authorities
by Chicago police officials a few days
ago.
Carson escaped from the prison fifteen years
ago, and after wandering about surrendered to
the Chicago police not long ago, stating that he
wished to return to the Missouri prison and
complete his sentence. He is afflicted with
consumption, and, after leaving the receiving
cell, was sent to the prison hospital for treat
ment. He has something like four years yet to
serve on his unfinished sentence, but the
chances are 100 to l that he will not live two
years in the prison. Speaking of his expert
ence, he said: There was three things left for
me to do: to give myself up. to commit
suicide. or go to the insane asylum. Now
that l am back here my mind is free OF the
load Of terror it has carried for so many years.
and these grim walls look like a palace. Dread
of being captured has broken me in mind and
health. but l am happier than 1 have been since
/ went over the hospital wall fifteen years ago
the 18th of this month"
Carson refused to say whether or not it Is
