The Rupublieun members of tho
Ways and lll.-.ills Oiiiilinittco -lill H,enk
confi.l uily uf their ahilhy to pui a ur.il'

Imrmciy thai, would Iimvo Ihoiu at

hope that when the muuiboid lepreeont

s;on thorn voted down, they will bo
lontint to vote for tho b.U as it fltaiuls.
The 1 ill is already to l.ug ly a com
promise measure that further tinker
ing would ti fiord very littlo relief. It
is chtiniatcd that tho bill will reduce
rovciiu !?.r)0,000,00;), of this amount
ten millions coined oil' tho internal
revenue, tho tobacco tax being hoavil
cut. On sugar it is get at tho leduction
of twenty-seven millions, leaving the
other thirteen millions to bu distributed
among other articles.
Tho indignation of Musaaehii-.ctla
inon, growing out ol ho duty on hides
is an old story, but tho wrath is by no
means ?pent. Demands r froo carpet
wool aro coining fiom the west as well
as the east. Thu canning interest is
opposing the proposed increase of duty
on tin plate.
Thomgar men will niako an especi
ally stubborn fight, but the combina
tion against the augar monopolists is
strong. Tho debate on this item will
ho extremely warm. The sugar men
will be met with some plain talk about
trusts, and tho free sugar advocates
will be confronted with the statement
that tho government's revenues will
not stand a further rediic'ion without
being crippled.
Of cuttrso, the members of tho ma
jority on tho committees are upon
their mottle. They fuel that (ho Re
publican parly is obliged, us a political
measure, to pass u tariil' bill. That
bill is nocessaiily protective, if Repub
lican. They believe tho hill is about
(ho bott, front a piuly standpoint,
that tho lessons of their recent cam
paigns and tho varied interests of the
country can MiggoHt. Upon this
ground,. Air. .McK'inney places his hopes
of strengthening the position with his
parly that was weakened by his slow
ness dining tho debates on tho new
rules. One of tho inoal brilliant
dinners after Easter will bo tendered
on April 10, at the Ailinglon, by the
Pan-Americans delegate.", to tho pioti
dent. At iitngemcuts havo been made
for sealing 150 perrons at tho banquet,
and decorations will ho on a grand
scale. No expense will bo spared in
making tho dinner one of tho most
unique in tho history of ouial all'airs
at tho Capital.
The punt toasou has been dUtin
guished for nolablu dinner decorations.
Tin: MorifetH of Washington havo de
veloped with tho growing extravagance
in ll jral displays on social ooc i-ions.
Ono of the loading firms exhibits an
liastor floral display uf bewildering
but harmonious beauty. In the center
is an immense p:isiou cross holding a
crown. Jewels ino loprtsentod by
electrics lights in colors. At tho base
of tho uioi of ivy leaven, is a massive
bank of maiden hair ferns, from which
majestiu blooms of annunciation lilies
rite, accompanied by many varieties of
hydrangeas, azaleus and gunesta, the
fair yollow decorative plant that is now
in tho lliu.li uf fashion. Tho Raster
display generally is tho moit profuse
and ell'eotivo over seen hero.
Tho Scuatu made a failuro of its
good resolution to moot at II, o'clock,
for on no day during tho experiment
was a quorum had by tho time prayer
was thruujth. Tho fact that hut
twenty-nino members responded to
tho fiM call Tuenday was tho signal
for an uiisuuonjfid attempt to restore
