D. m His last conscious hour ON earth
was spent with his wife to whom he
devoted life time of care He died
unattended by minister of the gospel
but his last words were an humble
submission to the will of God, in whom
he believed. He was reconciled to the
cruel fate to which an assassin's bull

death in the same spirit Of calmness
which has marked his long and hon

did not avail himself of the oppor-

WAR REVENUE REDUCTION BILL.
SENATE COMMITTEE ON FINANCE WILL
NOT PROBABLY ACCEPT ALL HOUSE
REDUCTIONS

Washington. Jan. 20.-The Senate Committee
on Finance was in session the greater part Of to-
day making effort to complete consideration
OF the War Revenue Reduction bill. in order TO
be able TO present its report tomorrow. II did
not succeed, but the work was so nearly com
lleted that i is believed one or two more meetings
Will suffice for that purpose. There are still many
items Of the bin which have not been finally
passed on, but All of them have been so com
pletely canvassed that there will be great
difficulty in reaching a conclusion. The com
mittee is still Withholding official announcement
Of its proceedings from the public but some
facts concerning its conclusions are known.
Il is not probable that there viii be a much
greater total reduction than was made by the
bill as il passed the House, but the reduction
viii be differently distributed The most i'm
portant conclusion reached is 10 reduce from -

be reduction Of the tax cigars and snuff.

ing 10 accept all the House reductions Conse-
quently TO many Of the articles from which the
House took off ali the tax will be given half the
former rate by the Senate Committee.
Il is probable that on proprietary articles the
formula Of which IS public the tax will be en-
urely removed, while on those the formula of
which is secret II Will be retained entirely. The
tax on steamship tickets will be reduced. The
tax on steerage tickets may be removed entire

members OF the committee have made an effort
