"'NAY REPEAL WAR TAXES
Reduction Of Revenue Contem-
plated by Republicans.
DECIDE TO DEFER RECIPROCITY.

argument 10 Made That Burden
Should BE Removed From This
Country Before Other consldera-
tions-Rellef for Cuba Must Wait.
Washington, Jan. 3o.--Ths Republic
an membors Of the ways and means
committeo hold a private conference
last night and decided to frame bill
for the reduction OF war revenue taxes
before proceeding further with the
subject of Cuban reciprocity. Chair
man Payne at onoo called a meeting OF
the full committee for today, when
work on tho war revenue reduction
bill will begin. No draft OF bill has
been prepared by tho Republican mem
bers, but It IL pretty fully understood
that the majority is prepared to pres
ent n measure effecting n large reduc-
tion. amounting practically to n repeal
OF tho entire war taxes, and aggregat-
ing about $6S.000,000. The restriction
OF recent hearings to beer and tea led
20 the belief that reductions might
be confined to these two articles, but
the sentiment of tho majority now APP
pears to be favorable to much larger
reduction. At tho conference yester-
day It was tho prevailing view that as
Cuba was the cause for mourning the
war revenue taxes, the burden should
be removed from this country before
considering the extent OF relief to be
granted to Cuba. The question of
what percentage OF reduction in tariff
rates could be made for Cuba was not
considered at the meeting last night,
owing to the determination to leave
this until after the war revenue reduc-
lions had been accomplished.
