No CHARGE FOR TARE
IS HELD ON Rebate
RATE EXPERT SAYS THAT Is ONE
WAY RAILROADS HAVE TO
DEFEAT LAW.


Washington. Aug. A secret un-
derstanding as to rebates apparently
exists between the railroads and sugar
shippers in the opinion of Harry e.
Bells, a tariff rate expert of Phila-
delphia, who appeared before the
House sugar trust investigating COM
mittee to explain sugar freight rates.
Mr.. Bells said he had not brought
the matter to the attention of the In
terstate Commerce Commission be-
cause he had learned Of It only re-
Gently. He declared that tho rail-
roads did not charge by gross rates
and that this meant considerable
saving to the American Sugar Refln-
ing Company He was not sure, NE
said, but he supposed the independ-
ents received similar rebates.
And this Is one way" asked Rep
resentative Sulzer, "the railroads and
shippers have of defeating the laws"
"Yes."
"Why do not the railroads In their
published rates mention this reduc-
tion for tare?"
Il do not know" said Bells. yet
It Is an important matter. The rail-
roads are supposed to charge on gross
rates, but do not do It.

From the attitude taken near the

that an effort would be made to show

Washington. Aug. 4.-Democratlc
leaders in the House believe tonight
that they have enough votes to pass
the Wool Tariff Revision over the
veto of the President If necessary
Mr.. Underwood, Democratic leader
Of the House, and Mr.. LaFollette, in
surgent Republican, to whom the
Senate confided its part Of the wool
conference as q substitute committee,
spent two hours today In discussing
the two bills, out Of which a COM
promise will, it is hoped, be effected.
I'VE have reached no basis Of
agreement" said Mr.. Underwood, to-
night but l have hopes that we will
finally reach an agreement. Mr.. La
Toilette explained his bill to me, and
!, ours TO him, but we did nothing
definite"
The Free List Bill has been sent
by both Houses to the same commit
tee, Although the bills will be re-
ported separately, II is probable that
they will be discussed at the same
time. This gives the House Demo-
Gratis additional trading stock in ne
gotiating on the measure.
The Cotton Tariff Revision Bill
passed by the House yesterday was
sent to the Senate Finance Committee
today by a resolution Of the Senate
which requires report on the meas
ure by August 10th. Senator PEN
rose, chairman, has called a meeting
of the finance committee for 1890
o'clock tomorrow morning, and when
the Senate convenes tomorrow, Mr..
Penrose will probably report the bill
back with an adverse report. This
was the procedure followed with ref
erence to the Wool and Free List
Bills
The effect that tho changing tariff
situation will have upon the adjourn
ment Of Congress is a matter of con-
lecture. In both Houses the leaders
do not believe that the consideration
Of the cotton bill will affect the rapid
ly closing session. which many lead
ers say will end between August I'd
and 18th.
