themselves in the adjoining buildings

Duty on the Present Free List.

WASHINGTON, Dee. 2s.-In the Sen.
ute, to-day, Mr.. Burrows Of Michigan
presented a tariff bill. lie explained
that, under the Wilson bill, many arti.
cles were placed on the free list. The
House bill passed yesterday, had
raised articles already on the dutiable
list, but had not yet reached those of
the free list except in a few instances.
The bill he now introduced placed 80
per cent Of the duty under the law of
1890 on those articles placed on the
free lis, under the present law. Re-
fcrrcd to the finance committee.
The bond question made its appear.
ancc when Mr.. Hill of New York in

Resolved. That any bonds hereafter
issued under the laws now in force
may, in the discretion OF the Secretary
of the Treasury, be made payable in

WAruuNGioN. Dec. 2s.~-Chairman
Dinglcy of the ways aud means com.
mittce has received u private letter
from Secretary Carlisle which fur
nishcs some information concerning
the condition of the treasury. Mr..
Dingley will not make the letter pub
lie, but says the Secretary offers to
furnish the House with all data that
may be needed. The condition OF the
treasury is represented as vcry scri.
GUS, aud Mr.. Carlisle urges legislation
for "A gold bond.
Mr.. Dingley has informed the Sec.
rotary that a gold bond Is out of the
question and could not be conside red.
Secretary Carlisle did not say to Mr..
Dingley that a . per cent bond cannot
be floatcd and did not discuss this
feature of the case. This latter denial
was made because reports to this
effect concerning the Sccretary's letter
were In circulation.
President Cleveland and his advisers.
IT is learned, are strongly opposed to
the House bond bill, ana this feeling
caused Secretary Carlisle to write to
Chairman Dinglcy. Aside from the
very important objection that the
bonds are to be redeemed in coin. in
stead of gold, rs recommended by the
President, IL is understood that the
requirement that tie bonds be sold by
subscription meets with disapproval.
