WAsrINGToV, March l9.-The Rcpub
lican memhers of the senate committee ON
finance have held q mooang and decided
to Immediately take ~ the tariff bill as
proposed by the ways anu means commit
tee OF the house with the view of consider
ing it in all its details.
At the meeting nothing wos done be-
yond agreeing that this course was neces-
sary and de iding that further meetings
should be held rs soon as tho business of
tho senate would permit here was an
Informal exchange of oIinion as to the no
cessity Of the proposed meetings, which
was lasod on the ground that the senate
Is jointly responsible with the house in
preparing q tariff bill. and tho fopuhliean
members feel that they should mako sure
that it should be q bill which would ai crd
The necessary revenue for the conduct of
the business of the government protect
American interests and at tho same time
appeal to the countrls scnso Of fairness
The point was mado that thoro are 0e
or 500 items in the bill each affecting inn
portant industries, on all of which the Re
publican momhcrs would ilrd 10 necessary
TO be prepared TO answer questions.
Tho opinion was expressed at the meet
ing that the tariff bill was by no means
as perfect measure as its promoters in
the house appear to think 10 IS. Some OF
the schedules were criticised as providing
duties above the demand Of the country.
1t IS also understood that the members
Of the committee expressed themselves q.
opposed to a proposition which had beer
made by some Of the representatives look
ing to the segregation Of the woolen sched
ule from the tariff bill as whole FOR the
purpose Of giving this schedule earlier at
/ tontion than the general bin could receive
The opinion was advanced that an inde
pendent bill providing "a duty on wool
/ and a new wooden schedule would provokl
/ almost as much debate as the tariff bill it
solf and that nothing would be gained b.
tho separation of this schedule from th
/ others.
Tho question Of granting hearings b.
the finance committee was not taken up
but the majority of the committee nov
seem to be opposed to this course.

Apparition That Saved woman From

The following rcmerkable occurrence,

house Of the sister Of the narrator OF

connected with families of repute and
with officers in the British army in In

related it, She is dcvout member of
the Episcopal church and is incapable
of miTeprcscnting in the slightest par

hor cousin, in whose house the occur
renee took place, was seated alta lighted
table engaged in reading, whom, think

ing TO lift her eyes from the book, she
was astonished to see seated in chair
before her, and between herself and the
door Go the bathroom, a man, a stranger
TO her, who calmly regarded her. 10 was
too great a surprise for her TO speak and
demand who was thus inuuding unbid-
den upon her privacy and what was
wanted. She remained for n moment in
silent establishments
Then it gradually dawned upon her
that the figure was probably not that of
person Of real flesh and blood but a
/ visitor from the unseen world Of life.
/ She remembered having once, as child,
seen similar figure, under circum-
stances which seemed 20 preclude the
idea that it was any person still in the
body, and in later years. in revolving
those circumstances. She had remember
ed how the apparition had after a little
while faded away into invisibility.
Concluding that this new visitor also
was not a person Of flesh and blood, she
sat silently gazing at the silent object,
while the intruder, whoever or what
ever he was. sat also in silence, steadily
regarding her. just how long this state

It was the lady's hour for her evening
