Washington. Dec. 10.-The Committee
on Ways and Means will go to work at
once to prepare a tariff bill. This was
the conclusion reached by the Repub-
lican members of the committee at d
conference held tonight in the rooms OF
General Grosvenor. called by Chairman
Dingley, at which all the Republicans
were present except Mr.. Steele, of In
diana, who was unavoidably detained
The conclusion reached was the unani-
nous expression of the members pres
ent. In the preparation OF the bill the
committee will give hearings to all per-
sons who are interested, and they will
be conducted by the full committee. The
first meeting OF the committee will be
held at 10 o'clock Saturday morning, at
which time. II all the Democratic mem
bers are present, the details of the hear
.ngs. the time when they shall begin.
etc, will be agreed upon.
This determination of the Republican
members. Of course, presupposes the
calling of an extra session of Congress
shortly after the Inauguration of Presi-
dent-elect Mckinley, but after the adj
journment of the conference they all
dsclaimed any direct knowledge upon
the subject from the only source which
could make the extra session q fact

New York, Dec. 10.-Senor Palma, of
the Cuban junta, was kept busy to-day
answering questions put to him by num-
crous callers. anxious to learn something
definite concerning the reported death
of the Chan leader. Macco.
Senior Palma said TO reporter: "I
regret that | can give you no news to-
day. | will say, however. that ! am
more confident than ever that Maceo is
alive and we'll. Though ] have not re-
ceived any word as yet from Cuba, I
base my belief upon the dispatches in
the morning papers to-day. One from
Key West. by way OF Jacksonville. Is
very encouraging. I believe. as II states,
that Maceo is near the trocha and is
causing the enemy much trouble. If the
Spaniards had Maceo's body II would
have been placed on view long ago. and
the fact that this has not been done

THE PURITAN COMMISSION.
Simple ana Brief rCerrmonies- -Skeael,
Ofthe Vessel.

New York. Dec. 10--The steel clad
monitor Puritan, pronounced by experts
as the most formidable coast defense
vessel afoat, was put in commission this
afternoon at the Brooklyn Navy-yard.
The ship has crew of 200 officers and
men. Capt. John II. Bartlett Is In COM
mand and his principal assistants ere
Lieutenant-Command James II. Sell
fridge. executive officer; Lieut.. Austin
NJ. knight. navigator, and George
Cowle. chief engineer.
commissioning of the vessel was brief
and simple. Capt. T. ]. Higginson,
commandant Of the navy-yard. went
aboard the Puritan shortly after
o'clock. where he was received by Capt.
John II. Bartlett. The crew, who had
in the meantime been quartered on the
recelving-sh Vermont, marched on
board and were mustered aft.
The flag was at once foated to the
breeze and saluted by the bugle call.
Commandant Higg.nsOn followed with
the announcement declaring the Puritan
In commission.
The formal ceremonies were then end
ed with the reading by Capt. Bartlett OF
the letter of Secretary Herbert, of the
Navy, detailing him to command.
The original Puritan was designed by
Ericsson in 1864 and her hull built later,
but nothing was done with her works
until turned over to John Roach, who
laid the keel of the present Puritan in
Chester, Penn, In 1875.
Lack of preparations stopped work
on her for number Of years, and II be-
came necessary to make her a modern
monitor with two turrets and improved
guns. She was launched In 1883.
