THEY GET TO WORK.

.
Tho Democratic members OF the SON.
alto committee on finance lost no time
in proceeding to work upon tho tariff
bill after they decided not to grant
hearings to interested parties. Senators
Jones, OF Arkansas, Mills and Vest,
composing all tho members OF tho sub
committee on tariff, except Senator
Voorhees,, met to-day and took up tho
bill with the view Of putting it in shape
at tho earliest practicable moment for
submission, first TO tho Democratic
members and afterwards to the full
committee. The meeting was OF an cx-
ceedinCly private character and the
proceedings were not given out. 1t is
known, however, that considerable
progress was mndo with tho work,
owing largely to the fact that these gem
tlomon had all given much attention to
the bill and had conferred among them
selves to sufficient extent to bo
familiar with ono another's views upon
the questions at issue.
DUTY on COAL.
They have determined to make few
concessions on important articles like
coal and sugar. A duty will be placed
on these articles, but whether it will be
specific or nd valorem in character has
not been determined. II 4 specific duty
is decided upon it will, in tho case OF
sugar. probably be cent pound, and
in that OF coal fifty cents or a dollar per
ton.
No decision has been reached on tho
income tax. There are on tho Domo-
cratic side Of the senate many strong
advocates OF the striking out OF this part
Of the bill, but so many OF tho Domo-
cratic member of the committee are
favorable to this tax that it has becoms
evident that this change will be diff
cult, if not impossible OF accomplish
ment.
Senator Jones, OF Arkansas, is urgent
in his advocacy OF an increased tax
upon becr, but he has not so far met
with great encouragement at the hands
Of other members OF the committee.
