NO TARIFF REVISION.
Chairman Dingley'r Interesting Talk
on the Coming Session OF
Congress-.

Washington, Nov. 15.-The Washing
ton Post states that the war tax will
not be abolished at the short session
of congress and that there will be no
revision of the tariff whatever. 1t bases
this announcement upon the positive
statement made by Chairman Dingley.
of the ways and means committee, who
in an interview says:
THE government will need for some
time all the revenue produced b. the war
taxes. During the month of October the
war expenditures exceeded the war rev.
erue by some sl4O00,OOO and this month
they will be $l0,0O0,000 in excess This be-
Ing the case, there will be no changes, at
least this fiscal year. The war revenue act
will continue in force and unchanged ex-
cept perhaps in few minor administra tive
features, for at least year longer
at is hardly necessary to add contin-
ued Mr.. Dingley. that there will be no
revision of the tariff, although have seen
some statement to the effect that such
revision Is contemplated.
THE session is limited to three months"
he said, land that short period will be
mainly occupied in passing the appropria-
ZION bills, in enacting new laws for the
regular army, and in deciding upon the
legislation necessary for the government
of Hawaii In addition to these important
matters. the usual number of routine mat
ters will arise. From the present outlook
the session will be we'll under gay before
the treaty of peace with Spain Wi. be laid
before the senate. and the ratification of
that document may not be accomplished
long before the fourth of March arrives"
will that necessitate an extra session."
1T is, of course, impossible" said Mr.
Dingley, Ito know what will arise between
the first of December and the fourth of
next March. but so far as the present out
look can form a basis for Judgment. ]
should say that no extra sessio.. will be
necessary o. desirable. unless some new
question should arise. In the first place,
we shall not know until the treaty of peace
has been ratified what new possessions we
are to have, and what legislation is nee
essary for them, and even then we will
be in no position to act intelligently. 1
