SENATE FINANCE conNlrrnn
Fails 20 Reach Any Conclusions on
Hills before H.

Washington. Feb. 5.-The SENATE
finance committee again failed to reach
any conclusion today upon any OF the
bille before II. y vote was taken on
substitute for Senator McPherson's
bill, resulting IN s FOR to 0 against, af-
iiImatlve votes being Mcpherson, Nor
rill, sherman, Allison and Aldrlch. and
the negatives being Voorhees,, Harris,
Jones tArlSansas) Vest, White and
Jones (Ncyada)
The silver men developed a difference
In their ranks ON the question of sclgn-
pragc, Senator Jones OF ArhanBas,
NN.le expressing tn conviction that Rll-
Vei oolnags should prevail at the old
ratio OF i6 to j, argued that II would
be a w7,te OF time to report a bill con-
tuning provision OF this character,
as there was no probability OF It's be-
coming law, and suggested that II
would be wiser to report bill which
would give the government the seign-
forage, as provided for Ia his bill.
others OF the silver senator's held
out for free and unlimited coinage,
and, while they conceded that no FREQ
coinage proposition was liable to be-
come a law at this session, they said
the same objection could be urged
against any bill that would DO report
cd, and that IL would be wiser for the
free coinage men to vote for their
real convictions than TO report a
makeshft. The substitute for the
Mcpherson bill, which was voted down
was proposition suggested by Mr..
Mcpherson providing for an issue OF
short-time three per cent bonds 10
meet the deficit in the treasury. on
the lines OF the Sherman bill.
When asked today If no proposed
pressing mis- amendment for an addi-
tional tax on beer. Senator Teller
said: II have no Auch intention.
merely offered the amendment TO de-
monHtrato the Willingness Of the Re
publican party to provide a blmple
means OF raising revenues sufficient
to meet the expenBes OF the govern
mcnt. but II has become evident that
there is no possibility OF securing any
waste time upon it,"

appear on drawings without objection on
the part Of the workmen Tho instruments
Of measurement nro now made with such
degree Of refined accuracy that even the
