INTERNAL REVENUE AMENDMENTS.

Changes Which the Committee Have
Made Since the Original Draft.
WASHINGTON, Jan. IA number of
important amendments were made by
the ways and means committee this
morning to the custom and internal
revenue sections of the tariff bill Tho
tax on cigare ties, which had been
placed at SLIGO a thousand, was reduced
to 81. 1t is now so cents.
The section which permits petrolo m
from other countries free O! duty
when they admit American petroleum
on the same terms was stricken out,
leaving petroleum come in free without
any qualifications.
The reciprocity provision of the Nc
kinley act is stricken out OF tho pend
ing bill, but the committee decided to
make their action clearer by inserting
special provision in the bill specific
ally repeating section No. of the
present law.
An amendment will prob ably be
adopted increasing the tax ON manufac-
tured cigars from SO to So so per 1000.
Several amendments were also m ade to
the income tax section.
A memb Der Of the committee on WAYS
and means who is in favor Of income tax
says that the measure will be proposed
as an amendment to the pending bill,
but who will make the motion has not
TRANSFERRED.
McMillin, chairman of the sub-com-
mittee, who formed the original draft Of
the bill, says that If any arrangement
to offer it as an amendment to the Gus
tom bill has been made he is not ad vised
OF it. 1t is probable, however, that the
dispositi on of the bill will BIO deter
mined upon in caucus.
No call has yet been issued for a
caucus but the matter is being discussed
and the usual application for call is
expected to begin its rounds for sigma
lures within short time
