PRACTICALLY ALL FIXED UP.
The Tarin Bill Completed Save for tho
Duties ON Sugar.

WASHINGTON, March b. The Wilson
tariff bill was the subject OF earnest con-
sultation among the senators to-day. 1t
has reached certain stage OF complete
ness and it Is generally understood that il
a final agreement could be reached on
sugar, 1t would then be possible TO agree
upon everything else. 1t is understood
that the demands made by the demo
cratic senators who opposed tho bill in he
form in which il was first presented have
been met and tentatively agreed upon I;
but even these agreements are subject To
the approval of tue treasury department
and the needs Of the government in the
matter OF revenue. Secretary Carlisle has
been with the committee most of the day
and again this evening To discuss and
compare the changes.
The q iilcultics surrounding tho agree
ment upon sugar are the greatest the tar
i'll makers have to contend with. IL APP
pears also that the proposition for an Iu-
creased tax on whiskey Is mixed mp with
the proposed duty on sugar. II the latter
is agreed 10 It, the necessity for an in
creased whskey tax disappears.
Ii is understood that the committee has
also been giving its attention 10 the to-
bacco schedule IN the internal revenue
bill during the day, aud the internal revc-
nue. commissioner was before them 10

WILL RUN INTO BASIN.
Tho Northsrn Pacific May Extend It's
Branch on From Calvin.


Butte, March BIT is stated on what
seems to be good authority that the NORTH
ern Pacific will at once commence the
construction Of depot at Basin, aud as
soon as il is completed trains will lie run
regularly to tho Basin gold camp from
Helena over the Helena, Boulder Valley 8
Butte branch. which ends at Calvin sta
ton, four miles this side Of Basin. That
part of tho road between Boulder
and Calvin station has been practically
abandoned since the completion Of the
Montana Central into Butte, only one
train being run every week in order to re-
tain the franchise. Tho future possible
tiles Of Basin. however, have prompted
the Northern Pacific officials TO do some
thing, as they very naturally object to
giving the Great Northern a monopoly of
the business at that point. II Is also re-
ported that the Helena. Boulder Valley &
Butte branch will be built into Butte this
year. The route contemplated is through
the lowlands. and IL is said that the hill
limo of the Montana Union will be used
from Walkeryille as an entrance into the
city.
