pleasant. The street venders, with their
yrcen badges for sale, were out early. They
reaped rich harvest. Every Irishman who
appeared ON the streets had something prom
incrtiy pinned on him, to indicate that he had
very high respect for the great saint who
succeeded in running all of the snakes out of
Ireland.
The cable cars going toward the parks
ard suburban towns were crowded all the

the young ladies wore green dresses. and
some of the maa visited the saloons much

NOW FOR THE TARIFF.
Bill Not Yet Perfected in Committee, but
TO be Reported Tuesday.

If the present programme remains un-
changed the tariff till will be reported to the
Senate Monday, the ID of April. After the
full committee adjourned yesterday at p. H.
the Democratic members held consultation.
Secretary Carlisle also being present, for the
purpose of deciding upon what changes they
would recommend. They devoted the greater
part of the tine 10 the sugar schedule. which
question has been reopened. and further
change is not unlikely. Determination Of this
was postponed until Monday morning, when
theDemocratic members will decide definitely
before reporting 10 the fall committee.
The whisky tax has not been changed. nor
has the income tax. nor the coal tax or iron
ore duty. but there have been several small
changes in other schedules.
The protest made by Senator German in his
speech the other day against the passage of
any bill which would leave a large deficit
will it is sunderstood have considerable weight.
though Senator Hills objections to the income
tax are said not TO have great weight with
theiSouthern Senators. Fight on this issue
will probably be reserved until the bill reaches
the Senate floor.
