Very httlo progrci ; was made with the amendment to the tarlfl bill today. The republicans , under tlu leadership of Mr. Burrows , made nnothci utrugglo to secure the right to offer amend ments alternately with Mr. Wilson , but , a ; on yesterday , the chairman held , In view ol the precedent- procedure when the Me- Klnlcy bill was under consideration , thai Mr. Wilson , on behalf of the majority o. the committee , was entitled to perfect the bill before it was thrown open to miscellaneous amendment. Several minor amendments were agreed to the most Important being that , lo increase the duty ou condensed milk to 2 cents ; . pound. Almost the entire afternoon > vas spent ir . discussing the date uuon which free woo pnd the corresponding reduction on woo should go into effect. No conclusion was reached. Wanted n Correction. At the opening of thu session of the house this morning , Mr. Springer of Illinois asked . unanimous consent to correct a newspapci report attributing some remarks iiiado b.v Mr. Dolllvcrjf Iowa to him. Mr. Heed remarked sarcastically that thi ; was very painful , but he would make no ob jection to Mr. Dolliver's act. [ Laughter ] . Mr. Springer explained that he had com mended the tariff bill highly instead of de nouncing it as has been reported. The house resumed the consideration ol the tariff oill and Mr. Wilson immediately began offering some amendment * . The first was to reduce the ilutv on furs for hatters' use from liO to 10 per cent. The next amendment was one to place on the frco list , in addition to books , etc. , printed over twenty years ago. hydrograph prints. This was also agreed to , This was followed by an amendment to change the rate on condensed milk from ; ] percent ad valorem to U cents per pound , which occasioned considerable debate. Mr. Kodaway of Ohio and Mr. Curtis of Now Hampshire argued that thpro ivas no sugar of milk industry before 1KK ) end that iho proposed reduction would ruin It and res.ultin the increase of the price from 10 to 16 cents per pound. Mr. Payne of New York protested against bringing up our children on foreign sugar or milk. milk.Mr. Mr. .BrecKinridge defended the commit tee's amendments. Mr. Bon-cm of California cot recosnltion nd sirgocd for the present duty on raisins , He created much amusement by thro wing an irmful of California raisins toward tli , flemocratic side. There was great scramb- bllng among the members and soon half the house was complacently munching the fruit. AmclHtnirntB to tlio Tobacco Tar. , The amendment to the tobacco tax , re- i itrtctlng the increase of the tax on cig- iroltcs i ° rein 50 cents a thousand to jl.IiO to tboso wrapped in paper , was agreed to. Amendments of Mr. Wilson to take chairs , ratio or reed , wrought or manufactured , from the frco list and restore the dutiable list at 7 per cent , aud make the lumber ichcdulo on Iho free list effective only izainst such countries as admit the same irlicles from this country free , were idopted. Mr. \ \ ilson then offered an amendment to put tho-free wool schedule into effect August 1 , IblM. This was vigorously opi > oscd by Mr. Johnson , democrat of Ohio , aud Mr. Warner , democrat of New York , but on different grounds. The former claimed the amnml- mcnt delayed the benefit to coma from frco wool too long , and the latter contended that If the woolen manufacturers were not to have frco wool In I time to give the people cheaper woolen goods next winter ho was in favor of allowing the present duty to stand , In order to give the farmers n market for their wool during the coming season. Mr. Bowers , republican of California , Hiked if he had not claimed that free wool would increase iho price of wool. Mr. Warner replied emphatically that he did , if wool went on the Ireo list in Febru ary , but If It could not go into effect then the uiHrlset would bo retained this year , s This precipitated a general dhcussion of the subject in which Messrs. Payne. Sprlnccr , Pickler , Simpson , Johnson and Cannon took part. \ > lltoii'it I.ciicthj Kxp'aniitlon. Mr. Wilson then explained his amendment ftt length. The date which the wool sched ule would go into effect' was taken up by Messrs. Grout of Vermont , Moss of Georgia , Jlowers of California , Blair of New Hamp shire , Hall ot Missouri. Bryan of Nebraska , Bland of Missouri , Brecklnridgu of Arkan sas , Johnson of Ohio , Hermann of Oregon , Llnloo of Tennessee , Ilcuderon of Illinois , Montgomery of Kentucky , Weadock of Mich igan , Blair of Now Hampshiru , Marsh of Illinois , Loud of Californi.i and Hartman of Montana. The latter , in denouncing the whole bill and the predictions of Its author , called attention to his prophecy of the universal revival of business wiien the Sherman law was ro- pealtHl. "Considering the result of that prophecy. " ho said , amid a siorm of repub lican applausn and laughter , "I don't know whether ho Is n prophet , a son of a prophet , or only iho mouthpiece of tlio slutted prophet of Buzzards Bay. " Mr. Wilson then tried to obtain a vote ou , tlio question , but without success. At S : & ) , without action on the pending amendment , the committee reported , and the house took a recess until tonight at $ o'clock. _ _ IN Tin : SI.NATI : : . tha MaiTal'.in < Ju9lJnn ( lirci KUe tn n Spirited Put-union.

CAIlMSI.K'-l 111 I.I- Action TaUrii Upon It liy the Srmtte Com- inltipi- fin riiinncc. WASHIN-OTOX , Jan 10. A mooting of the senate finance coinii'ittco was held thl4 afier- noon for the purpose ol considering Secre tary Carlisle's letter and bond bill. After the conclusion of the meeting Senator Voor- hecs. as chairman of the committee , handed to an Associated press reporter the state ment given b3tow. In making st he said he did not assume to represent the views of the entire committee , and yet he knew of no op position in the committee to the opinion ; expressed. He submitted his statement tc the full committee before givlug U to the puolic. It is as folloxrs : "Tho embarrassed condition of the treas ury and the necessity for prompt action for its relief are fully realized. There Is not the slightest ground , however , for appre hension that public credit will suffer or be endangered , for the reason that ample authority already exists by law for the secretary of the treasury to sirenglhen his coin reserve lo any ex- lent required , and to meet every demand that can bo legitimate. The power of the secretary for tne issue of bonds needs nolh- ing beyond what is piven by the act of January 14 , Ib75. The only desirable object to bo attained by nnw legislation at this time on this subject is to make a shorter bond with a lower rate of interest , and yet the secretary fe ls sure that he can ne gotiate bonds under the act of 1S" > running only ten years on practically a a per cent basis. "It seems , therctore. that it would be wiser , safer and bellcr for Ihe financial and business inlcrcsts of the country to rely upon existing laws with which to meet the present emergency rather than to encounter the delays and uncertainties always inci dent to protracted discussions in the two houses of consress. This view of the conoi- tion of the treasury admils of but little , if any , delay , nnd of no uncertainty at all in the final action to bo taken. "It would be trifling with a very grave affair to pretend that new legislation con cerning the issue of bonds can be accom plished at this time , and in the midst of present elements and parlies In public life with elaborate , extensive and practically in definite debate. It Is also obvious to everyone ono that the consideration and discussion of the tariff now goinir on In congress will ren der any financial legislation nt this time far more difficult and complicated than it might bo under another and different circum stance. ' It is proper to say in this connection that the senate finance committee for several weeks past has had this subject under almost constant consideration and that the bill submitted by Mr. Carlisle- has been ex amined and discussed with thegrcatest caro. "Tho interest of the committee will by no means bo abated from this time forward. Tno fact that much remains to be done is fully recognized. Whatever deficiency in the revenues may exist during the current year ivlll be promptly provided for by an appropriate and efficient legislation at the earliest moment. " The senate finance committee authorized Senator Voorhecs to introduce , the Carlisle bill in the senate and ulso to present the letter from the secretary of the treasury for the consideration of that body , which was done. This authorization in the inlroduction of the bill is not intended to mean , however , that Iho commiltco has decided to pass the bill throuch the senate or that it has given further endorsement than to allow it to be printed and referred to the committee in the regular way for consideration. 1DKNT1HCATION Of CHINESE. Opinion or thn Attorni'V Conrnil of tlm Ullltcil State * on the Subject. WASHINGTON , Jan. 1C. The secretary of the treasury recently requested of the at torney general an opinion as to whether or not , under the act of July 5 , 1SS4 , consular officers of China , stationed in foreign coun tries , can properly certify to the statements which , under the law cited , the certificates are required to set forth. .In reply the attorney general holds Identi fication ol the Chinese person should befevi- denced by a certificate Issued by the govern ment of which he may bo a subject. The covcrnmcut can act , ho holds , in the issu ance of such certificate- only through and by Its officers and agents. If it chooses to select its consular officers m foreign countries as such officers and agents It has thu right so to do. This opinion , with a previous one of the attorney general that Chinamen cnroute lo other countries can pass in transit through the L'niicd Status , will hinder the enforce ment of the Chinese exclusion act.

Now Face to Facs with Prohibition Chco More , TWO PLANS FOR CHANGE PRESENTED Senntnr * Will furor the ( latch I.iw , with Silent Moilitlcitloii'Vlille fho Ilouin Will Iniltt on the "Uulcl" 1'litn or Nothing. Dns MOINES , Jan. 1(5. ( ( Special to THE BEE. ] Now that the senatorial question Is settled the republican majority in the legis lature is confronted with the most perplex ing question of the hour In what mannct nnd to what extent shall the prohibitory law bo modified1' In order to carry out the pledges of tno party platform. It had been expected that Governor Jackson " In his inauzur.il address would outline the policy to bo pursued , but a careful reading of that document discloses the fact that the governor has dealt only In " generalities,11 and has "glittering , prac tically relegated the > vholo question to the legislature without suggestions. A very wide difference In opinion has already cropped out amoncr the republican members in regard to this matter , and It Is a serious question whether the caucus will be able to agree upon a bill that will Mitisfy the various elements that compose the legislature. . The prohibition element will Insist that the present law shall remain Intact , and favor a supplementary enactment embodying the ro-callcd "mulct" ing the principles of - plan us additional penalties. The liberals , on the other hand , contend for local option by counties , as embodied in the Catch bill , and maintain that this measure will fully satisfy the river counties , while to adopt the mulct plan would be only adding insult to injury. Wace a Hitter War. No compromise In this matter now seems possible -indeed , there is no middle cround , The preliminary skirmish has already taken place. In the make-up of the senate com mittee local option has won , but in the house the prohibitionists claim a victory. The chairman of the house committee on suppression of intemperance is .1. H. Funk of ilardin , a prominent prohibitionist , who openly declares that "tlio saloon shall never again be legalized in any portion of Iowa without his most emphatic protest and against his most determined opposition. " He claims a sure majority of from one to three of his committee. The details of the "mulct" system have not been all agreed upon , but the Gatch bill is fully perfected , and Is almost certain to pass the senate without material change. This bill provides for local outlon uy coun ties. a vote to be taken ou the question of license not oftencr than once in three years upon a petition signed by not less than two-fifths of all the legal voters of the county. The minimum license fee is fixed at & 00. with such addi tional sum as the local authorities may pre scribe , all of which is to be paid In advance. Five hundred dollars of this fee eoes to the county and the oalanco to the local treasury. In case license carries no saloon shall be located In any ward or oownshlp that has given an adverse majority. The ap plicant for "a , . . permit tosell liquors is required to fllo a bond of $3,000. conditioned upon n'faitbftil "observance ofjrthe law. , All blinds arid screen's or ' ( "olored wTadows" arc problbited.'aud chairs and all other con veniences for loaning. All pianos and every form of amusement in connection with the saloon is prohibited , and the unique provie- inn is added that the saloon keeper shall bo pecuniarily responsible for all damages that may-result from his business. Tno uill also contains the familiar provisions of high license laws In retard to hours of closing and sale to drunkards and minors. Miy Modify the Hill. Strong efforts on the floor of the senate will be made to eradicate or soften the harsh features of the measure , out with very little prospect of success , unless the democrats aid in the work , which they do not now seem in clined to do. Should this bill become a law It would give nigh license to thoMisslsslpni river counties of Allamakce , Clayton , Dubuque , J.icKson , Clinton. Scott , Dos Molnes , Lee , and possibly Muscatine. to Pottawattamio and Woodbury on the Missouri , and the Interior counties of Car roll , Crawford , Plymouth , Linn , Johnson , Wapello. and probably Blackhawk , Chickasaw - saw , Brcmer , Benton , Tama and Iowa , em bracing fully one-fourth of the slate.

According tc the governor's information a very serious condition of affairs exists there , which may result in bloodshed. Blai-k Hock is the center of a large manufacturini ; and lumber district and owing to the present financial stringency a large number of men are thrown out of employment. Among them are many lawless characters , who have organ ized for the purpose of driving ail the negroes out of the town.
