washington. March 1a-The work Of
the Republican members Of the ways
and means committee ON the wool
schedule has brought the wool growers
and manufacturers to Washington in
full force. They filed the lobby Of the
Cochran hotel yesterday. while the tar
M makers were in conference In their
upstairs room, and when the members
emerged each one Of them was sur
rounded by q group OF wool men en-
deavoring to impress upon their victim
the urgent needs Of their particular
branch OF the business. Chairman
Dingley was half an hour running the
gauntlet to the hotel door. He listens
with patience to every statement. but
the results do not show that representa-
tives of special interests gain anything
by coming to Washington to present
their cases in person. After twenty
four hours Of work ON the second half
CT the wool schedule - that covering
manufactures Of wool-the duties have
been made practically q repetition Of
the rates Of the Mckinley bill.
Compensatory Duties Also Adopted.
The Mckinley rates on raw woods
having been re-adopted. 1t was con-
eidered the only logical arrangement to
adopt also the compensatory duties on
manufactures OF wool Of the Mckinley
law. SO this policy was followed. There
was an attempt made to change the
ad valOrem rates on wooden manu-
features In the Mckinley act to specific,
but so great difficulties have been en-
countered that the undertaking has
been abandoned, for the time being at
any rate, and last night the committee
had practically decided to accept the
wool schedule Of the Mckinley act. A
committee Of experts devoted some time
to the work of resolving the ad valorem
factors Of the wool schedule into specific
rates. but the results of their labors
proved SO unsatisfactory to Chairman
Dingley, that the scheme was rejected.
Cbanges IN Classification.

full ways and means committee, but
the bill as It will be introduced into the
house will contain the Mckinley wool
schedule without material changes ex-
cept the Changes in the classification of
woods which were made Thursday. The
changes In classification were decided
upon by the committee on satisfactory
proof that several varieties of woods
were being imported into the United
States in large quantities as carpet
woods. under the rates OF class 8, and
used for the manufacture Of clothing.
These woods. which include China lambs,
Bagiad. Egyptian, Morocco, Casa
Branclso, and fine skin WQole, or BUTCH
ers' woods, were therefore changed from
class to class 1, and the necessary
changes in the rates on manufactures
Of these wool made.
