 WARRINGTON, May 7.-The democrats O. tho senate finance committee, actin. through the committee of revision, o which MT. Jones has been the head, latt this evening gave to the public the amend ments which have been herslded as tn, compromise measure upon which the dem ocratic party was to solidify and after { brief debate pass the bill. The committed was in session ell day Sunday and the ex perts charged with formulating the amend ments upon the conclusions reached by the committee were kept at work all through Sunday night. The final print of the bill reached the committee room shortly after noon, when the majority members went into executive session. Meanwhile the senate went into executive session, and il was supposed the amendments would moi be reported until tomorrow.
 During the afternoon copies were laid on the desk. As printed they comprise eiah. ty-one pages of the ordinary bill slzs. The number of amendments is @ little more than 400. Many of the changes are unim- portsnt and consist of @ restoration of house duties, which the senate had de creased. A number of articles have been taken from the free list, among them be- ing agricultural products.
 The sugar ec1edule Is identically ss heretofore published, namely, 40 per cent. ad valorem on all raw sugars and an sddi- tional one-eighth of @ cent. on all sugar above No. 16 Dutch stand. with discrim- mating duty of one-tenth of cent against those countries that pay an export bounty. The polsriscopio test has been dropped from the schedule. This section stipulates that the treaty with Hawaii ehsll not be construed to be abrogsted O. in any man. ner impaired by the passage of this act. The committee has reduced the duty on rice. Another important amendment Is that relative to leaf tobacco, in which there Is material increase in the rates of duty.
 The chemical schedule, against which the republicans have levelled some of their arguments, hss been reconstructed In many particulars, and here as in other schedules the change is noted from ad vslorem to specific duties, to say nothing of the increase in rates. The iron and glass schedules have been overhauled and changes demanded by manufacturers have been made, some of them not so much in the nature of increases as In the way of reclassihcation and the equalization of duties.
 The rumors of late as to mysterious In fuences at work in regard to the woolen and cotton schedules appear to have had some ground, for the changes in these lines have been numerous and in some casee very material. Coal, iron ore, lead ore and lumber were not touched. The lead trust was not the gsiner by these amend msnts, for there was not an increase in the duty on lead products. Nothing was done with whiskey.
 The amendments to schedule "A" re- store the (generally higher rstee) rates fixed in the house bill on tartario acid, coloIiug for liquors, tdoform, carbonate of magne- sia, olive oil, peppermint oil, seal, whale, herring and other fish oils, barytes, ochre, sienna, umber, nitrate of potash, idodide of potash, cosmetics and other toilet prep arations, fancy and medicated soaps, sale. ratus, caustic soda, sal soda, soda ash, ncorice and other articles.
