Much Needed Votes VIII BE Lost Nh
Matter What Policy May He
Adopted.

WASHINGTON, April 9-The Re-
publican senators, who are acting as a
subcommittee Of the senate committee
on finance, in the preparation of the
tariff bill are inclined, In their esti-
mates now preparing, to postpone the
date of the presentation to the senate
a little beyond the limit originally
fixed by them. They express the
opinion that it may be two weeks from
the present time before the bill will be
in shape to be reported. Some of them
postpone the time until two weeks
from next Monday.
The committee is making very salts
factory progress with the bill, and
many Of the schedules have received
final attention, among them being
chemicals and cottons. None of the
more puzzling questions, however. have
been disposed of. The committee has
deemed it wisest to leave the rates on
wool, sugar, hides, coal, lead ore. lun-
Der and all the other important sub
jects until the simpler matters can be
determined. They take the position
that they can settle the disputed
points more satisfactorily after the
other features of the bill are thorough
~ digested and the probable revenue
determined. Many of the smaller
Items accordingly have been decided
upon.
While no detailed information can be
secured, it is understood that many
reductions in duties Ghaxe been made.
The disposition of the committee is to
make quite a general reduction. but
this is found to be a task not easy
OF accomplishment. because of the in
sistence Of senators upon having the
strongest protection for the articles
In which they are particularly inter
ested. There are also many demands
FOR increases, and some of these are so
pressing that the mem bers of the COM
mittees are finding themselves consid-
erabIy embarrassed between their de-
sire TO satisfy senators whose votes
Will be essential to the success of the
bill and their conviction that the in
terests Of the party demand reduction
rather than increase.

both certain that WILSON'S gait was faster

Nilsson stated on the stand that the frame
he was riding was so high ne could scarcely
touch the pedals. He claimed to have been

New Trial Denied in the ArbuckIe
Action

TOLEDO, o., April SIN the Arbuckle-

day overruled plaintiffs motion for a new
trial and granted fifty days in which to
file a bill OF exceptions. The common pleas
court some time since dissolved the injunc-
ton to restrain the defense from cutting
prices of coffee.
This decision, though it aff1rms the decree
of Judge Morris, of the common pleas court
is placed on a different ground. Judge Nor
ris decided that the plaintiffs had not made
proof of the facts; the circuit court holds
that they have proved the facts but the law
is against them. The question whether one
corporation may deliberately cut the price
of its product for the purpose not Of bene-
fitting itself but Of injuring a competitor or
some third person is one it is he'd, which
should be decided by the supreme court.
