DINGLEx's TARIFF BILL DEAD.
The Republican Senators Decide to
Abandon the Measure.

Abandon the Measure.
Washington Feb 2-The fact has
finally dawned upon the republican pro-
tectionists in the Senate that the Dingley
tariff bin is dead. They have watched at
the bedside of the corpse for several
weeks, hoping that it might show some
signs of life. Late this afternoon the re-
publican members of the Senate finance
committee went into the little back room
adjoining the committee room and there
they determined to formally abandon the
dead bill and announce its obituary in
open Senate when the question comes up
on Senator Carter's resolution to refer the
bill back to committee.
Senator Morrill,, the venerable chairman
of the committee, has been designated to
state to the Senate and the country that
a majority of the Senate are opposed to
the proposed tariff bill, and in order to re-
lieve the business interests of the country
from further suspense on the subject, all
further attempts to consider the bill at
this session will be abandoned.
