protested that the Democrats had not
been given an opportunity to examine
the measure and Mr.. Aldrich replied
that they could make their examina-
ton By Thursday. He stated also that
as the majority Is responsible for the
bill. its course in Fastening the report
was warranted. As reported the bin
does not contain all Of the changes in
rates which the finance committee pro
poses to make. Although several i'm

PASS PAYNE BlLL
FINANCE COMMITTEE HAS FIN
IsHED ire WORK ON THE
TARIFF BlLL.
SOME or THECHANGES MADE
Seventy Per Cent Of Articles used BY
All the People Reduced and
Free List Largely
Increased.

Washington, Apr. 1.-THE Payne
tariff bill, a. amended by the senate
committee on finance, was sent to the
Ipublic printer late last night and
was ready for presentation to the full
committe this morning
An effort will be made to induce the
minority to consent to the reporting Of
the bill to the senate tomorrow, In
which event 1t will be allowed to 30
over until Thursday when Chairman
AIdrich win make a detailed explana-
ton Of its provisions. 1t Is probable
that he will be followed by Senator
Daniel, the ranking Democratic mem
Der, who will outline the position the
minority members intend to assume.
Senate leaders, would not predict
how much time Is liable to be occu-
pied In the discussion In the portion
Of the bill fixing rates of duty. A
large number Of important items are
to be submitted to the judgment OF
the senate without Recommendation,
the purpose being to convince the SEN
ate and the country that the commit
tee has not arbitrarily assumed the
power to make tariff bill and that
1t recognizes the right Of members of
congress not on the tariff framing COM
mittees, to help to shape the tariff bill
so far as the controverted schedules
are concerned.
Members of the finance committee
have discussed their proceedings with
greater freedom than ever before in
the history OF tariff legislation. SEN
ator Aldrich asserted last night that
rs per cent OF articles used by all the
people had been reduced and that the
free list had been heightened to an ex-
tent that would be surprising to every
body. The members OF the committee
have done their best to make their
popular and they pre-
dicted last night that their efforts
would be appreciated.
In addition to placing tea and coffee
on the free list, the committee pro-
poses to admit cocoa free. An espe-
cial effort was made to reduce rates
on the so-called breakfast table" ar.
ticles Of commerce. 1t was reported
yesterday that another effort would be
made to have a duty placed on coffee
In the senate In behalf Of the coffee
syndicate, which is alleged to have a
large number Of bags Of Brazilian
product boarded in this country.
The senate stands about two to one
against free lumber and its advocates
now fear that they will not be able to
the reduction agreed upon
BY the house. The fight which will be
made on the floor for free hides has
begun already and an effort is being
made to line up the members. West
,rn senators are confident duty will
,e placed on hides but they are not
of maintaining the existing
s per cent ad valorem,
