Washington. May 1.-THE ability
OF the majority OF the senate to up
hold the recommendation of the
committee on finance on the lead
schedule, which contains the Dingley
rates in the tariff bill in place of the
lower duties fixed by the house, was
fully demonstrated when, by a vote

duce by one quarter of cent a
pound the duty on pig lead as recon-
mended by the committee on finance.
In this vote eleven Republicans
voted with the Democrats and two

and expressed confidence that all
schedules Of the committee would be
upheld.

THREE WEEKS TO
RAISE GEORGIA
LIB FROM RIVER

The work of building a bulkhead
around the sunken Georgia Lee prob
ably will begin the latter part of this
week and 1t will take about three
weeks to put in the bulk head. The
marine diver is engaged today closing
the matches. so that the mud and dirt
coming down the Tennessee river
will not settle IN the hull of the boat.
Mr.. Shellcross, an insurance adjuster
from Louisville, arrived in the city
this morning and today is looking
over the Georgia. It will be at least
three weeks before the Georgia Lee
can be raised. A number of local
rivermen are of the opinion that
work on the Georgia will have to be
set aside till the river falls 25 or 80
feet, and then the boat can be slid in
the river just the same as IL she was
a new boat being let in the river for
the first time.
