bill was presented by Chairman fayne.
There were but two other Republicans
on the committee, Messrs. Dalzell and
Russell, who, before it's presentation,
knew of the existence Of such bill or
Of any plan to depart from the free
trade proposition"
"Where did the bill come from?'
"From the secretary Of war, Mr..
Root" replied Mr.. Tawney.
"Do you know that personally?"
II know it personally, but not from
statements made by either Mr.. Payne
or Secretary Root" he replied. II was
at the White House and saw the presi-
dent before the Republican conference
was called and told him that state
ment would likely be made to the Re-
publcans of the house that the tariff
bill had been drawn by Secretary Root
and that the ways and means commit
tee in trying to secure it's passage were
only following out Secretary Roots
suggestions. The president answered
that if such statement was made it
should be coupled with an explanation
that Secretary Root had drawn the bill
in the line Of duties Of his Office, just as
heads Of departments often do, upon re-
quest"

THE VACANCY FILLED.

Underwood OF Alabama on the House
Ways and Means Committee.
WASHINGTON, March 7.-Considerable
miscellaneous business, much Of it Of
minor character, was transacted in the
house during the day. During consid-
Grafton of bill to incorporate the Fred
erick Douglas Memory and Historical
association the speaker and Mr.. Bailey
Of Texas exchanged sharp words and
the latter filibustered and finally pre-
vented the final passage of the bill by
demanding the reading Of the engrossed
bill. The bill proposes to collect at the
residence Of the late Frederick Douglas
III this city record Of the anti-slavery
movement.
Mr.. Underwood Dem., Ala.) was ap-
pointed to the vacancy on the commit
tee ON ways and means, which, it was
understood, was originally reserved for

lutte, but has fitted them for the great
task of lifting up and assisting to better
conditions those distant people who
have, through the issue Of battle, be-
come our wards. Let us fear not. There
is no occasion for faint hearts, no ex-
cuse for regrets. Nations do not grow
in strength and the cause Of liberty and
law is not advanced by the doing Of
easy things.
..The harder the task the greater will
be the result, the benefit and the honor.
To doubt our power to accomplish it is
to lose faith in the soundness and
strength Of our popular institutions.
The iberators will never become the
oppressors. A self-governed people will
never permit despotism in any govern
ment which they foster and defend.
Gentlemen, we have the new care
and cannot shift it. And, breaking up
the camp Of ease and isolation, let us
sbravely and hopefully and soberly con-
tinue the march Of faithful service and
falter not until the work is done. It is
not possible that Is, ,OOO, 600 Of American
freemen are unable to establish liberty
and justice and good government in our
new possessions.

and report it to the senate. The bill
will provide for immediate construction
of the cable only from San Francisco to
Honolulu, but it contemplates the ulti.
mate extension of the cable to the Phil
ippines and also to Hong. It is esti-
mated that the cable to Honolulu will
cost between $1,000, 900 and $4,000, 900.

WASHINGTON, March AT the cabi-

Hawaiian council that they be author
lied to expend 100000 in the suppress
sion Of the bubonic plague and in the
relief of distressed natives was formally
approved. Some doubt was expressed
as to the authority of the Hawaiian
council to make this expenditure, but
the opinion was unanimous that the
gravity Of the situation justified that
course, and the necessary directions
will be forwarded at once.

WASHINGTON, March z. The Post
prints interviews with the Republican
members of the ways and means COM
mittee on the authorship Of the Porto
Rican tariff bill. Mr.. Tawney made
the distinct statement that the bill was
drafted by Secretary Root, but his col
leagues on the committee were more or
less non -committal as to the bills au-
thorship. Representative Payne IN.
", chairman of the committee, said he
brought the bill to the committee OH his
own responsibility.
'.We became convinced" said Mr..
Payne, "that some revenue must be
raised for the island Of Porto Rico. The
enactment of tariff law seemed to be
the best way to raise it. Twas con-
vinced that the bill was a proper one
and am still Of that opinion
cit has been said that you stated in
the Republican conference that the ill
was drawn by Secretary Root"
II was asked in the Republican con.
ference replied Mr.. Payne, ''if the bill
had not been drawn ~ Mr.. Root ]
did not answer that question"
