FOR REDUCTION OF REVENUE.
Bill to be Presented to Full Ways AMI Means
Committee December l.
(By DC Associated Press.

Washington, Nov. 22.-The Republican
members of the Ways and Means Com
mittee today decided to present the bill
for the reduction of the revenue to the
full committee on Saturday, December
1st, at l o'clock. The bill, however, will
be prepared some time before that. Com
missioner Wilson. of the Internal Reve-
nue. Bureau, was before the committee
some time today giving information con-
cerning the effect of the reduction of Ger
tain schedules and also as to the amount
of revenue raised by portions of the
present law which it is proposed to re-
duce.
The committee has agreed on a number
of schedules to be reduced, while on
others there is a disagreement 1t is
probable that a sub committee will be ap-
pointed to make final draft OF the
measure
The committee has made such satisfac-
tory progress with the bill that only de-
tails now remain to be considered. The
members of the committee after adjourn
ment this afternoon said that they be-
lieved there would be no difficulty when
the bill was presented in full committee
or in the House either among Demo-
Gratis or Republicans. Although they have
not consulted the Democratic members,
it is understood from information some
of the Republican members have, that
the Democrats do not intend to make any
factious opposition to the measure.

GRAND TRIBUTE TO BRYAN
Supreme Court May Give Imperialism
It's Death Blow.
SUCH is SENATOR JONLS' OPINION
The Democratic Party, He D, careS, VIII Never
Change In Its Devotion to the Con-
stituton ana the interests Of
the People.
(Dy the Assoclated Presg.l

Little Rock, Ark, Nov 22.-United
States Senator James X Jones, Chairman
of the Democratic National Committee,
spent the day in Little Rock and left
tonight for Washington. Before leaving
he said IN an interview:
"Mr. Bryan is a great man, one of the
greatest in America today and his in
tluence will be felt for many years to come
in American politics. He is a giant in
intellect and simply indefatigable in the
prosecution of a campaign. Whether he
will be a candidate for the Presidency
in the near future remains to be seen, but
ii is not probable that he will. 1t is
more reasonable to presume that ne
would decline the nomination, even should
it be offered to him.
Reorganization? Oh that's all nom
sense. There's nothing in 1t and it will
blow over in thirty days. 1t is precipi
tated hy those who deserted the party
and gave aid and comfort to the enemy
and does not represent the strength Tof
the spirit Of the genuine Democracy What
they would do Is to adopt all the policies
Of the Republican party and be Demo-
Gratis only in name. Granting that
there is cause for so-called reorganiza-
ton, who has the power within the party
to do it now? Not the disgruntled disor-
ganizers who have raised the issue. If
there is to be a re- reorganization Of ma
tionel committee or platform il can not
be done for four years or until the next
national convention.
''As to the issues they must depend
largely upon the national and intcrna-
tional developments of the next four
years. 1t may be laid down primarily,
however, that the Democratic party will
never vary from its established funda-
mentals, a strict construction of the Con-
stitution and an answering adherence
to its principles and an economically ad-
ministered government for the benefit of
the governed. The silver question may
solve itself Should the amount of gold
produced be ample to maintain suffi-
cient volume of metallic money and in
sure the stability of prices, the silver
question will be subordinated; but should
the supply fall short of the demands of
trade the silver question will be made
prominent. The question of Imperialism
may also find a solution outside the
ballot box. / believe the Supreme Court
will decide against the Porto Rican law,
and should this be done. there will be
a revulsion on the part of the Republic
cans themselves against the retention
of the Philippines. But just what the is
sues of 1904 will be no one can predict
with any degree of certainty"

Cannot Agree.
(By the Associated Press. J

Washington, Nov. 22.-The State De-
partment SO far has heard nothing from
Mr.. Conger respecting the "impasse" re-
ported to have been reached by the For
fact save brief expression respecting
the insufficiency of the punishments pro-
posed by the Chinese Government to be
inflicted upon the responsible leaders of
the Boxer movement, Mr.. Conger has not
communicated with the Department for
more than a week.
Without taking issue with Mr.. Conger
respecting this matter of punishments,
the State Department has earnestly ad-
vised him not to insist upon impossible
conditions in the negotiations.
An interesting problem is suggested by
the possibility, which today is almost a
probability that the ministers represent
ing the powers at Pekin cannot reach an
agreement. If Russia, France and the
United States should refuse to accept the
German idea, as seconded by the British
representative, very much would de.
pend upon Japan. and even some of the
lesser powers represented at Pekin by
ministers might have great power in
swaying the proceedings of the council
The impression seems to be that if a
majority of the ministers or perhaps even
one of the representatives of a great pow
er withholds assent to the agreement
then the whole undertaking fails and
there must be either fresh negotiations
directly between the home governments in
the effort to agree upon new bases of ac-
tion or the powers must proceed to deal
with the Chinese situation singly or in
groups. the latter contingency having been
provided for in the German British agree

generations ago 1t came to the notice OF the Duke

it to Herr Hausman. Of Hanover, Germany

Bott had looked at 1t and put It to his shoul-

there was no peace rest for him until it became
