TO REDVCE WAR TAXES.
The Republican Members OF the ways
and Means Committee Consider the
QuestiOn-Thcrc Might be Reduc.

Washington, November 2O.-The Re-
publican members OF the Ways and
Means Committee met to-day to con-
slider q measure for tine reduction of
the war revenue tax. The most import
ant action taken was a decision not to
remove The tax Of ten cents a pound on
tea. The committee will not take up OF
disturb the tariff on imports as the
members claim it would open up the
whole subject Of tariff revision. The
committee will not grant any hearing
while framing the bill as full hearings
were given during the last session Of
Congress and since then briefs and
statements Of various interests have
been received. Parties who are interest
ed, however. can file briefs or state
ments with the committee.
Secretary Gage and Commissioning
Wilson, Of the internal revenue bureau,
We're before the committee for some
time during the afternoon. The Secre-
tary told the committee that, In his
opinion, there might be a reduction In
revenues Of $50, 900 000. The war revenue
act now raises about 800. 600 900. Com
missioner Wilson went over the schei-
ules with the members Of the Commit.
tee ami both he and Secretary Gage
were questioned IS 10 where reductions
could be made to III. best advantage
from the treasury view point.
A considerable part of the discussion
was confined to schedule B.Which taxes
medicinal and proprietary articles and
preparations, p"rfumery, cosmetics.
chewing gum, wines, etc. There Was
also discussion OF stamp taxes. The
discussion indicated that the commit
tee favored quite Il change in this
feature Of the law and reductions
wherever pOssible. The committee alsa
desires t. eliminate the taxes on con
veyances Of which there has been
great deal of complaint.
1t can he stated that in a general way
It vii be the aim OF the committee tc
abolish the most burdensome taxes and
to grant relief from stamp taxes as far
as possible.
The committee late in the day called
on the President TO obtain his views on
the proposed reduction. TIE committee
will meet again tO-morrOW. After there
has been general interchange OF opin-
ion on the proposed reduction it IS quite
likely that sub -CcnInit;ce Will be APP
pointed to draft measure. 1t Is not
believed the bill C%n be prepared anG
ready 70" the full committee untli the
session begins. The measure after II
is agreed upon by the Republicans VIII
be submitted to the Democrats OF the
committee.
Suggestion has been made that thr
OleOmargarine bill, now on the House
calendar and made special order foI
DecemUer 9th, might he made part Of
the war revenue bill. Representative
Tawney, the father of the Oleornarga-
rinc bill, when asked about this. said
that the OleOmargarine bill would be
passed by the House early in the ses-
sion, SO that an opportunity would bt
given to ascertain if there was dis
position to defeat the measure In the
Senate by any unusual delay. In such
case he intimated that the OIeOmarga-
rine bill might be made part Of the
Revenue Reduction Ai!l in :he senate.

A GREAT DEMONSTRATORS WILL
BE RENDERED PRESIDENT
KRUGER

Marseilles November 20.-Former
President Kruger will probab bly, land
here Thursday, instead of tomorrow.
Bad weather is reported in the Mediter-
ranean and the Dutch cruiser Gelder
land. on which he is a passenger, may
hug the coast of the Gulf of Genoa in
preference to heading direct for Mar
SeilleS, so as to avoid the cross seas.
She will thus reach this port tO-mOr-
row evening, instead of tonight. Every
preparation, however, has been made
for Mr.. Kruger's possible landing to-
morrow morning. The police and mill
tary are held in readiness and he BOer
reception committee has. not made any
change in the arrangements for the re-
ceptiOn at the dock. WOrkmen have
been busy erecting fiagstaffs along the
water side a LaJOliette and at the out
er dock, where the steam launch with
Mr.. Kruger on board will land.
1t is certain that Mr.. Kruger'S ar
rival here will be the occasion for q
great popular demonstration along the
route from the dock to the hotel, which
1t is equally certain that the formal
proceedings, receptions, etc, will not
be invested with great Importance, on =
ing to the abstention from them of the
prefect, Mayor and other functionaries
In their official capacity.
A surprise came to-day in the shape
of the arrival here of Eloff Mr. kru-
gers private secretary, who left the
cruiser at Port Said and came ahead on
the French steamer Laos.
