BIG DEFICIT
 NOW LEFT BY ;
 TARIFF BILL
Especial from United Press.)

Special from United PreSs.)
 Washington, April 13.-When Senator A1drich, chairman of the Finance Com mittee makes his statement to the Senate on Thursday as to the effect and purposes of the amended tariff bill reported from his committee, he will admit that in its present shape it will not produce all of the revenues that will be needed by the govern ment in order to avoid a deficit. In order to meet this difficulty he will an nounce that some amendments will be recommended later by the committees putting higher duties on certain lux uries.
 MT. Aldrich maintains-and in this he is supported by the treasury of ficia1s-that the government is being defrauded annually out of millions of dollars by under valuations and evas- ions of duty and he proposes to put a stop to these practices. In this way he believes that from s25. .000, 009 to $3o.- 100000 can be added to the revenues.
 The revenue producing capacity Of the new tariff bill is. of course. of the the House it was announced that it would probably fall short by $1O,00o. 900 on producing sufficient n1Sney to meet the ordinary expenditures of the gov ernment. During the discussion in the House, amendments were made which still further reduced the estimates made by the Ways and Means Com mittee. For instance, the proposed tax on team was stricken out, cutting off an estimated revenue of $S. 100000 at one blow. About a couple of millions was taken off by other amendments. In addition to these items it is said that MT. Payne made a wrong esti- mate as to the amount of appropria- tions which are annually left unex- pended in the treasury He put this figure at $45, 900 but treasury of ftcials say that s25, ,00O,0 GOO would be more nearly correct.
 So when the bill was sent over to the Senate it's revenue producing capa- city was estimated to be $45, 100000 less than is actually needed to carry on the government. Now the Senate committee has restored all spices to the free list. thus cutting off about one million dollars of revenues proposed by the House bill It also pu- cocoa on the free list. thereby destroying an other s. LOCO. coo of contemplated income. The restoration of gloves and hosiery to the Dingley rates by the Senate committee also means loss from the estimated revenues. The Senate is confronted with the necessity of pro- viding for a deficit of between 5,000,- 900 and s50,000,000

 Among the favorable reports receiv- ed by the Senate was one on a bill per mitting Eliza c. Morris of Greenwich to build sea wall.
