inent member OF the Ways and Means

bers who had been approached were
against revision
The leaders Of the House with the
exception of Representative Payne.

Committee. who is laid up with rheu-
matism, and Representative Tawney.
are all against revision. The work
of crystalizing sentiment against re-
vision is being done by Representa-
tive DalzelI of PENNSYLVANIA and
Crosvenor Of Ohio. The tangible
results in this direction tonight il is
stated, is the signature Of practically
all of the Republican members from
the states of Pennsylvania, Ohio. New
York. New Jersey and West Virginia
to petitions against tariff revision.
The Pacific coast delegation endeav-
ored to get together today, but with
out avail.
The friends Of revision seem to be
taking no active interest in advancing
their ideas in the House. No poll of
those holding these ideas has been
made. Notwithstanding the claims of
the "stand patters.' those in favor Of
revision claim to have many members
in the various delegations on their
side.

MUST NOT BURN COTTON.
Insurance Companies C%ancelIing Pol
icies in Districts Where the Staple
Has Been Burned.

New Orleans, January 1~1.-Insurance
companies which have placed policies
on cotton in warehouses throughout the
south are stated to have cancelled all
policies on cotton in districts where the
staple has been burned, even in the
smallest quantities. In districts where
the farmers have met and discussed the
burning Of cotton as a means Of rails
ing prices, insurance policies have, it
is said, been raised about fifty per cent.
1t is understood on the local cotton ex-
change that there is an agreement
among the insurance companies Or at
least an understanding to the effect that
all Of the companies will act similarly
in the matter. This action has stopped
the burning of cotton in SO far as the
country merchants and country bank
ers can have any influence.

add TO the statements contained in
