Senator's Are Opposed to Long Delay
the Turtn Bill.

Washington, April 22-There has been
some discussion of the probable program
of the democratic members of the finance
committee with reference to the tariff
bill, and 1t is learned that while their
plans are not definitely matifred, they in
tend to have reasonable consideration of
the bill in committee, and they believe
they will have the support of Senator
Jones of Nevada upon any fair PROPOSE
tion they may submit. The democrats
do not want extended consideration in
committee, but desire to offer some
amendments after they see the bill, the
adoption of which they now consider
they would be more likely to secure In
committee than in open senate. 1t is said
in the senate that the democratic plan
is not to delay the bill any longer than
is necessary, but that any senator desir-
ing to discuss it shall have an opportu-
nifty to do so, and such record votes as
they think necessary will be made. This
policy will be pursued to the end. In
this connection it may be stated that
the democrats of the senate do not APP
prove of the policy of Mr.. Bailey and
his fellow democrats in the house.
The republican members of the finance
committee of the senate have reached
an agreement either to strike out the
retroactive provision of the Dlngley tariff
bill or to amend it as to pave the way
for it's being stricken out in conference,
and have so notified the democratic MEM
bers of the committee. The democrats
have agreed in view of this promise, not
to press the Vest resolution on the sub
| iect of Secretary Cages recent circular.
1t is also learned that the rates in the
/ metal schedule have been made close to
the present law, and the same is said of
the cotton schedule. The chemical sched-
ule is understood to be about completed
Many changes in it in the direction OF
reductions have been made.

Iumblu Legislature.

Victoria. y. c., April 26.-There has
been much talk over Kellie's vigorous
attack In committee on the Nelson *
Fort Sheppard bill which extended the
time for the company to survey and take
up the land grant. Kellie denounced In
strong terms the railway taking timber
off mining claims and levylng tribute on
miners to be allowed to keep their timber.
In support OF this Kelie brought out Il
number of affidavits of miners with COM
plants substantiating what he had said.
In reply to this the attorney general
said that II miners had any complaint OF
this kind all they had to do was to take
out legal proceedings and the courts
would soon bring the company to time IL
they were acting Illegally.

The second reading being moved by Pre-
mier Turner, provoked a great deal of
criticism from the opposition. The bill.

amount of land to the railway for 81
years, and miners going on that partcu-

pany on minerals taken out. This was
the feature of the bill that caused debate.

Montreal People the Buyers.

y
Ainsworth, b. c., reports the sale OF
the Twin claim for $S5, 900. $1,000 being paid
down and the balance in two and four
months. The buyers are Montreal peo-
pie, and they express an intention of do
ing strictly development work for the
present year, and the first move will be
to start a deep, level crosscut tunnel to
reach all the numerous veins on the
property. The same parties secured prices
on several other claims in the camp, and
as soon as the snow disappears enough
to permit examinations it is probable
one or two sales of unusual magnitude
will be consummated. The Twin claim is
situated In the north section of the camp,
section that has increased rapidly in
interest of late. and in which are situated
the Highland, Augusta, Last Chance

is expected will be connected with town

understood the government has provided
