day in their work on thn new tariff
bill, by ilecidiliK to restore tint McKin

are V) rent and l. cent. Coke i ad
vanced from l.'i to 20 per cent ltd val

xiiise to a general demand from tho
coal interests, whosit representative
declared the Wi I'on rates had increaned
Canadian comjH'tilion so xrc.it ly that
the American mineownern bad Is'en
obliged to reduce waK'1 to kee ill the

Thn first ronfereiicn of the Week dealt
with tint tobacco schedule, and, al
though no final agreement bad been
reached, there i n practical Uliderntand
iiiK that the new bill will return to the
McKinley rate on tobacco, except on
the Kadit known ax filler. The rate
on thin will Is- 70 cent a isiund,
double tint McKinley duty, which was
!tj cent. It wan represented by the to
bacco manufacturers that most of the

It in estimated that H.Oil tons of plate
will ls needed for these ships, so that
thin provision lio.nts the cost to $ lot)
per ton. A substitute was ollered by
Mct'all, limitiiik' the appiopriation to
$i,sns,7.Ml, which would have limited
the price to nVi.'il) per Ion, but this was
t Voted down.
I Another propo-ition wan made to
strike the words "of doiiiest ic manu
facture" from the armor clause, which
, also failed. Members of Iheciuoiiiittee
;who favored thin promsrtion meed
that the hcarum's showed then1 was no
competition Is'twceu the American
fir ins encased in the manufacture of

did not have an opportunity of buying
