TO PLACE A DUTY ON SUGAR
POSSIBLE AME NPMENT TO THE WILL
% TARIFF BILL.
A Proposition to IN the Bounty
and Substitute "a Tax Of One Cent
on sugar. Which May XIII the In
come Tax Sshcme.

Washington, Jan. l5.-The real work
or the tariff bill commenced to-day, when
the bill was read by sections and is now
open to amendment under the five-minute
rule. From now on the bill will be in
col slant danger of amendment and the
house Democratic leaders have urged
upon ali their colleagues the absolute
necessity of their continued presence I'M
Ill the final vote is taken. The com
n.:ttcc amendments necessary to correct
in projections discovered i'll the bill Will,
according to the rule of parliamentary
procedure, have the right of way. The
amendments which the committee offer
are considered pending and take pre-
Cedence over amendments offered by in
dividual members. The bill was first
read by sections under the special or
der and is now open TO amendment in
any part. The Democratic members of
tie ways and means committee had a
meeting yesterday afternoon Ia decide
upon the amendments TO be offered. 1t
will probably happen. as in the case of
the Mckinley bill, that the special order
will expire with many individual amend
ments pending but not voted upon. The
decision of the Democratic members of
the committee 10 report the income TAX
and other internal revenue features of
the committees revenue plan as a sepa-
rate measure removes one of the main
dangers to the bill. as the opposition 10
the income tax feature was formidable,
especially in the East, and some of it
was of such Il character that had the
proposition been placed III the bill il
would have arrayed many Democratic
members against the whole measure. The
fact that the proposition is not included
in the bill will, it is thought. strengthen
the attempt to remove the sugar bounty
and substitute in its stead a duty of /
cent on sugar. Should this be done, it
would raise 3 .OOO,OOO of revenue and
save $10,OOO,OOO of sugar bounty and re-
move the necessity for and probably kill
the income tax proposition which it is
now the purpose of the committee to
present later with the internal revenue
bill. 1t is not believed that the attempts
to restore Il portion of the duty on coal,
iron ore, lumber and other raw materials
placed on the free list i'll the bill will
be successful.

Fire I'm MipneapoIHs.

Minneapolis, Jan. 15.-The ~6re-i,auntcd
Bradstreet X Thurber furniture building
in this city is once more IA smoking ruin.
The fire broke out about 2:1O O'Clock
yesterday afternoon, and enyeloped the
whole structure, from top TO bottom in
an Incredibly short space of time. The
interior Is Quilted and the stock complete
ly ruined. Loss on the building estimated
at about 100000; insurance $4,000
The stock. which was purchased by
Fillmore x Winchester some months ago,
was valued by the proprietors ut $1S,WO,
with an insurance of $4,000. Coleman
Wolf x Co.'S stock of fur goods was al
most entirely destroyed, II was valued
at $4,000. How did the fire originator
was n question which everybody asked
and no one could answer. Each individ-
ual had his theory. 1t was at first re-
ported that an explosion had taken place
and the inflammable stuff, whatever it
was; had permeated the whole struc-
ture, which accounted for the rapid
spread of the flames. Officer Hicks re-
ported that an explosion occurred be-
fore there were any signs of a fire and
that the force of ii broke the large plate
window in front. Later the theory of
an explosion was somewhat ~discredited.
Mr.. Wlnchestetr, one of the owners,
stated that he and others had been in
the building during the forenoon prepar-
ing the stock for to mOrrow's sale, AMI
that when he left about 1879 there
was no sign Of hre anywhere. The buila-
ing Is heated by steam. so there were
no stoves TO account for the origin. Last
evening the general impression seemed
to be that the blaze started in the rear
base ment near the elevator shaft, and
eating its way into that, the shaft acted
like a tlue and the spread was rapid.
