The TWO new REVENUE BILLS
The Republicans Decide Upon
Several Changes in Them.
Cereals, BreadstuTs. Live stock ana
Dairy Products VIII Simply BE an adj
vance of Fifteen Per Gent. Under tho
horizontal Clause-In the Bond Bill
the Rate OF Interest," VIII 30 Three
Per Cent and Greenbaoks Will 30
Temporarily Isolated

WASHINGTON, Dec. 24.-The Repub.
lican members OF the WAYS and means
committee held another conference this
evening and decided upon several
changes In the two revenue bills, which
will be introduced In the House Thurs.
day. The most important change in
the tariff bill was to drop the clause
putting cereal breadssuffs, live stock and
dairy products at an advance OF IS per
cent. over the Wilson Gorman rates, so
that these features will simply be an
advance OF Is per cent. under the hori.
zontal clause.
1t was also decided TO advance carpet
goods to the Mckinley bill rates, but
other products OF wool will remain at
6o per cent. OF the Mckinley tariff &C.
cordlnE to the agreement OF yesterday.
The other change was to exempt sugar
from the provisions OF the clause for a
horizontal advance OF Is per cent
Lumbor will remain. as was decided
yesserdaY,at 80 per cent. of the McKin-
ley duty.
In the bond bill the principal issue as
used Will be change Of tho rate OF in
terest authorized by the &C. Of 1875, of
four per cent, to three per cent, and be
bonds that will be- payable at the option
or the Government after th~ee years.
The rate Of interest for the one year
treasury certificates of Indebtedness
Will De raised from two per cent,to three
per cent. This bill will also provide,
for the temporary isolation OF the green.
backs, so that they will be- held separate
In the treasury and not included with
the general assets OF tho Government.
Several important considerations
operated to bring about changes in the
tarlf Dill. There has been little doubt
from the beginning that sugar would be
exempted from whatever tariff changes
that were made, because any sttempts
to alter the schedule would give rise to-
complications. Tho decision TO drop
farm products and cattle from the list of
duties to DO advanced will cause much
dlsappointment among the Western men:
but 80 much trouble arose over the set
yemen OF the item that 1t was thought
best to drop their consideration,
An effort was made to have Iron and
steel and their products given an ad-
vsncs but IL mot the opposition of the
Western men and WAS abandoned. It's
aoandonment had something to do with
the dropping Of the live stock snd cereal
advances contemplated. The iron and
steel interests argued that thew should
be equally favored with the farmers.
Member3 Of the committee state en-
phatically that the bills are not in
tended in any way to represent Repub-
lican policies on the tariff or finance:
they are merely tom porsry expedlents
to meet an emergency, the Repu blicsns
hoiuIng the emergency ia caused by an
insu iiiciens Income OF revenue. Mr..
Dingley had conference TO-DAY with
Secretary Carlisle over the bills.

GENERAL MILES VISIT.
Personal Inspection of the Southern
Coast Dsfenses.

WAsHINGToN, Dec. 24.-It Ia now
learned that the main purpose of Gen
oral Miles visit to the cities Of our South
Atlantic coast was to ascertain by per-
sonal inspection the actual condition Of
the coast defenses In that section, and
to call tho attention OF tho Southern
people to the exposed position they
would occupy in the event of hostilities.
He was impressed with the antiq aated
condition Of the defenses at Fortress
Monroe. which Is relied upon not only
to defend the national capital and Balti.
more and Norfolk and Richmond from
attack by water, but even more to form
nm impreRnable base of naval operations
and safe refuge for our warships in
the event that they are forced to retire
before an overwhelming hostile naval
force.
Although the War Department has
very little money available 1t possibly
will take steps to improve the defenses
there, relying upon sufficient sppropria-
lions from tho present Congress to
restore tho work to the standing they
had at the breaking out Of the civil
war, making 1t one Of the strongest de-
lenses OF the world.

Mr.. Roosevelt, IN his "Wildsness
Hunter" describes narrow escape of
his brother ard his cousin from such
horde. The two men were uniting
one of the long. low swells into which
the prairie is broken when they heard
a low, rnmbling noise like distant
thunder. 1t grew louder and louder
and they hurried up the slope. At the
top they stopped short in terror and
amazement The whole prairie before
them was black with madly-rushing
buffaloes.
The hunters were far from any
broken ground or other place Of refuge,
while the vast herd Of huge, plunging,
maddened beasts was charging straight
down on them not quarter Of
mile distant. Down they eame!-thou-
sands upon thousands, their front ex-
tending a mile in breadth, while the
earth shook under their thunderous
gallop, and rs they came closer their
shaggy frontlets loomed dimly through
the columns of dust thrown up from
the dry soil.
The two hunters knew that their
only hope was to split the herd, which,
though it had so broad front, was
not very deep. II they failed they
would be trampled to death.
Waiting till the beasts were in close
range, they opened rapid fire with
their heavy breech-loading rifles, and
yelled at the top Of their voices
For moment the result seemed
doubtful. The line thundeyed steadily
down on them; then it swayed violent
ly, as two or three of the brites inn
mediately in front fell beneath the
bullets, while their neighbors made
violent efforts to press off sidewise.
Then narrow wedge-shaped rift
appeared in the line and widencd as
it came closer, and the buffaloes,
shrinking from their foes in front,
strove desperately to edge away from
the dangerous neighborhood. Tine
shouts and shots were redoublcd. The
hunters were almost choked by the
cloud Of dust, through which they
could see the stream of dark bodies
passing within rifle length on either
side; and in moment the peril WIS
over and the two men were lcft alone
on the plain, unharmed, though with
nerves terribly shaken.
The herd careered on toward the
horizon, save FIVE individuals which
had been killed or disa bled by the
shots. Youths Companioa.
