FIXING TARIFF SCHEDULES.
Small Items in the Iron and Steel Trade
Considered by the Ways ana Means
Committee

WASHINGTON, d. c., Feb. 12. A
number of small items in the iron and
steel schedule occupied the attention to-
day of the Repu blican mem bers of the
Ways and Means Commites. Nickel was
left on the free list where it was placed n
the present law. Type metal, which is
now three-fourths OF cent per pound for
the lead contained therein, and new types,
which are rated at 10 per cent ad valorem,
have been restored to the Mckinley rate
OF IL cents per pound and 20 cents ad
vaiorem, respectively. The existing rate
was lett on zinc in pigs at cent pound.
Zinc In sheets, not polished nor further
advanced than rolled, u cents a pound
old zinc fit only for manufacture, three
fourths of cent pound.
The basket Clause, which includes
manufactured articles not specially pro-
vlded Tor In the present law, composed
wholly or partly OF metal and whether
partly or wholly manufactured, was
changed from the existing rate of 35 per
cent ad valorem to the Mckinley rate OF
45 per cent ad valorem. This practically
finishes the work on the iron and steel
schedule, although certain items which
were passed over this week will receive
consideration later.
The special schedule came up for con
sideration to-day and the committee fixed
the rates on mechanically ground chemi-
cal and bleached wood pulp. which is now
lO per cent ad valorem, at one-twelfth one
sixth and one-fourth of a cent e pound
respectively. Printing paper suitable only
for books and newspapers, which is now

WARSHiPS IN ROUGH WEATHER.
Storms and Fogs That Temporarily Pre-.
vent Any Fleet Maneuvers at
Charleston.

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb IL. - The
battle-ship Indiana and the dynamite
cruiser Vesuvius arrived off Charleston
bar last night. Contrary to all expecta-
tions, the cruiser made no effort at all to
come into the harbor or to run the block
ade. She came to anchor near the other
side of the squadron and Is still lying
there. The Indiana had an uneventful
trip down the coast. The Newark and
the Massachusetts are hourly expected to
join the feet. 1t is now believed that the
actual attempt to run the blockade will be
postponed until all of the fleet are here.
though no official information on the SUBJ
ject is obtainabie. 1t was 80 rough and
foggy outside last night that little work
could be done by the ships, and so strong
a sea is runring off the bar that the gun
practice of the feet is materially inter-
fered with.
This afternoon the cruiser Marblehead
came up to the city and anchored off the
Battery. She has received orders to pro-
ceed to Jacksonville Monday, and il is
understood that she will go from there to
Mobile in few days.
Little or nothing was done by the war
ships during the day.
The Vesuvius was anchored to the right
OF the vessel and gave no intimation of an
attempt to run the blockade. The dyna-
mite cruiser, in fact, was apparently hav-
ing an uncomfortable time of it in the
heavy sea that was running. She was
rolling and plunging about in a manner
that rendered footing on her deck inse-
cure 10 landsmen. The Amphitrite was
coaled during the day, but she will not
reioin the fleet until tomorrow.

WASHINGTON, D. c., Feb. l2.-When
the Senate closed the doors this afternoon
and took up the arbitration treaty there
appeared to be oesire to come to some
understanding as to the time when the
vote should be taken. The discussion be-
came almost general, and consisted al
most entirely of oss-questioning and an
swers, with nothing definite resulting
therefrom.
Blackburn (D.) of Kentucky said the
close OF the session was drawing nigh and
some conclusion ought to be reached. The
Senate should know whether it could
reach a vote at this session, or whether it
would be best to postpone action until
after the 4th of March. He was IN favor
OF postponement, as he did not think the
Senate could give the treaty the consid-
Grafton and the attention that the subjact
demanded at this session. He added that
be might make a motion TO postpone
further action until the session of the
Senate that would be convened immedl-
ately following the Inauguration of Nc
Kinley.
Senator Hoar of Massachusetts, urged
speedy action, and was supported by Sher-
man, who expressed the hope that the
matter would not be put over until the
