I; TA F MEXIC VOL.32. SANTA FE, N. -M.. -THURSDAY, DECEMBER 20 1895 NO. 258 SAN DAILY NEW THE WASHINGTON BUDGET Chairman Dinjrley, of House Ways and iiieans Committee, Presents Heed's Revenue Bill. TARIFF DUTIES STRICTLY FOR REVENUE Virtual Admission that MoKinley Pro hibitive Tariff Duties were Wrong , Bond Bill Expected To- Washington, Deo. 26. The president mid cabinet and officials in Washington generally, with the exception of the Be publican members of the ways and means committee, who labored to complete the text of their tariff and bond bills, spent n quiet and enjoyable Christmas, free from the anxieties and exoitements of the past six or eight days. THE HOUSE BEVKNOE BILL. Chairman Dingley,. of the ways and means committee, to-day reported to the noose the revenue bill agreed npon by n majority of the committee. The report said: "Your committee regard the chronic deficiency in revenue daring the past two years and a half as the most potent oanse of the difficulties the treasury has enoonntered, and an im portant factor in the creation and promotion of that serious distrust which has paralyzed business and dangerously shaken confidence even in the financial operations of the government. "The serious fact we are called upon to confront is that in the two and a half years that have elapsed since July 14, 1898, this government has had an insuffi ciency of revenue to meet the current ex penditures amounting in the aggregate to about $133,000,000, and even during the firBt half of the present fiscal year the deficiency will reach about $20,000,000, and about $3,000,000 the present month. "The insufficiency of revenue has made it necessary to use the redeemed Dnited States legal tender notes to pay current expenditures and thns supply additional weans to draw gold from the greenback redemption fund; in short, to create the endless chain of whioh the secretary of the treasury complains, and whioh has made it neoessary to sell issue after issue of bonds to replenish tbs reserve. Those who oppose the raising of more revenue in suoh a sitaatien, in effeot, whether they intend to do so or not, favor borrowing in preference to paying as we go along. HORIZONTAL INCREASE OV DUTIES FAVORED. "While we have presented in brief a measure recommending a horizontal in crease of 16 per cent on existing duties on all the schedules but two, whioh is an addition of Ubs than 8 per cent to the average ad valorum rate, giving about $15,000,000 of revenue from that source, vot more than $25,000,000 of the $40,000,000, whioh it is .estimated this bill wonld add to our an nual revenue, will come mainly from wool, whioh is taken from the free list and given a moderate dnty, and from manu factures of wool, whioh are given a com pensatory duty equivalent to the duty on wool, which is always necessary when a duty is placed on wool, in order to give the wool growers the benefit, and make it possible to manufacture woolens at home. "The bill reported by your committee proposes to make the duty on imported clothing of wool 60 per cent of the duty imposed by the act of 1890, whioh would give the equivalent of 6 6-10 of aoent per pound on unwashed wool, or about 40 per cent ad valorum. "Boob lumber as was placed on the free list by the aot of 1893, without the slightest justification, is restored to the dutiable list, but with the dnty only 16 per oent of the duties provided by the aot of 1890, giving an equivalent of only nbont 15 per oent. BOTH MEASUBEB OOMPBOMISES. The revenue and boni bills were not agreed to by the committee without much reconoiliation of oonflioting views and several compromises. The bills will surely pass the house, though the Demo crats will unanimously oppose the tariff measure and tome Democrats will op pose the bond bill and propose the re tirement of the greenbacks, $500,000,000 of bonds to be issued for that purpose. Some western free silver Republicans will also oppose the bond billl The house leaders believe that both bills will pass the senate by combinations, all of the RepnblioanB and two Populists voting for the tariff bill and Democratic and Re publican sound money men for the bond bill. There were conferences of Republicans from both houses preliminary to the present plan, so it is not altogether the production of Speaker Reed. The chief fear now expressed in Republican oiroles is that a caucus may be oalled to tear the bill to pieoea for, in such an event, com binations may be formed to change the tariff features, and onoe the special in terests find the doors to tariff ohanges open muoh time is likely to be consumed. To all of the members who went to him to secure eonsideration for the par ticular interests of their oonstitnents, Chairman Dingley replied that the bill under consideration was not a tariff bill, bat a temporary revenue bill. The same argument was used in committee with those members who opposed the hori zontal raise of 15 per cent on the ground that it was opposed to the ' protection theory. ;- :.;';. r , The advanoe of live stook and cereal -K-ead stuffs was eeoured by the efforts of embers from the northwest and is in- hded in part as a reply, said one eonv tteeman, to the charge that Repnbli- n tariff , measures favored the maou .uoturer rather than the farmer. BUSBIA Otll f BIEMD. , - Qreat interest waa exeited in official oirolss here yesterday by the publication in the Washington Post under a "Mew York date of a olroumstantial statement to the effeot that the Russian government has offered to loan the United States any amount of gold np to $100,000,000 one half of its total possessions of this specie in order to maintain its eredit against as saults from the great money powers of other European nations, and that learn ing of this tender, the Rothschilds through Messrs. Bel moat and Morgan, had made overtures to let the United States have 'any amount of gold needed. - mw boom iclis. ' The committee on rules of the bouse to-day deeided to report a rale to vote on the ways and means oommittee tariff bill at 5 o'olook to-day, and on the bond bond bill at 6 o'olook to-morrow. Amend ments to either bill will not be allowed, although a vote for a substitute nay be taken. The Democrats will demand a yea and nay vote on the rule. rriLD DAY AXTIOWATaD. In anticipation of a field day in the house over the passage of the tariff bill agreed on by the ways and means oom mittee, great crowds were attracted to the oapitol. Most of the members who had gone home for'the holidays hurriedly returned and the attendance on the floor was almost as large as at the opening session. Immediately after the reading of the journal, Mr. Dingley, chairman of the ways and means committee, reported the revenue bill and the speaker forthwith referred it to the committee of the whole bouse. Mr. Crisp said that the house minority had had no opportunity to prepare and file its views. Mr. Henderson, Republican, of Iowa, from the oommittee on rnles, then pre sented the special order under whioh ths bouse was to operate. After a protest by Mr. Crisp, the rule report was adopted b y a vote of zis to 89, a strict party vote. It provided that immediately after the adoption of the order it would be in or der to call up the revenue bill just pre sented by Mr. Dingley and debate to run until 5 o'clock when, without an interven ing motion, a vote should be taken, on the passage of the bill. There may be important change made by the ways and means oommittee in the bond bill before the scheme is brought before the house to-morrow.' Consider able dissatisfaction has risen among Republicans since the text of the bill was made public, the dissenters . asserting that it could be used by a hostile admin istration for the permanent retirement of the greenbacks. In yesterdays's committee meeting, a similar oharge was made by Democrats, that the Repnblioans proposed to seoure what they always opposed and what Pres ident Cleveland had advocated, the re tirement of the greenback. Aooordingly there will be a committee meeting to-morrow morning to consider an amendment prepared by Mr. Hopkins, of Illinois, whioh is as follows: Provided, That nothing herein contained shall be construed to repeal or modify existing laws, which authorize and direct the re issue of said legal tender notes. Mr. Hopkins is confident that his amendment will be adopted. PASSED. Ths tariff bill passed the house at 5:23 p. m. by a vote of 205 to 81.

Regarding the Pinos Altos district in Grant county the Deming Headlight has this to say: Work on the Golden Giant s being pushed vigorously. Ore break ing oommenoed Thursday last, and con siderable ore is now on the dumps. Stop ing aud drifting on the 140 and 800 levels is now in progress. Two shifts of tec men eaon are employed in opening up new ground, and everything wears roseate appearance. The shaft, a double compartment, is down 400 feet and it is the intention of the company to sink it 200 or 300 feet deeper. An eight inob streak of high grade ore is visible at the bottom of the shaft, and reasoning by Zoology, it will increase in size as depth is attained. The ore body oh jtbq lilrst level was found to be ooneiderbly broken up, bnt on the second or 300 level it was found to be more compact. North and south drifts are being driven from both levels. It is expected as the shaft is sunk deeper that the ere will beoome richer,' al though more difficult of treatment. From the surface down to a considerable depth the ore was free milling, but as in all mines in this vicinity it grows baser as depth is reached. The mill will be start ed up shortly after Christmas, or as soon as a sufficient qt entity of ore has been extracted to justify. Thenceforth the mill will be kept ruouing steadily. A bond and lease on the Deep Down and Atlantic mines has been secured by Colo rado parties, and work has already been commenced, Both properties will be thoroughly exploitated under thesupervi sion of Mr. W. T. Climo, an old and ex perienced miner. It is more than prob able that the work will be proseonted to a greater depth than any at present in the district, and the outcome is a foregone conclusion, as the mines here improve with depth. Hachita is following the lead of all the other cam pa of the sonthern portion of Grant oounty in renewed activity. The principal work being done in the camp is the extensive operation being conduct ed by the Amerioan Turquoise company under the direction of Joseph G. Doty. Mr. Doty has a foroe of twenty men at work developing the properties of the company and is taking out some magnifi cent stoneB. They are found in abund ance and the camp is to-day fully as good as the celebrated Azure mines in the northern part of this country, establishing turquoise mining in Grant connty as one of its principal industries, lhe stones are shipped direot to New York and Bold there. Crawford and Woodward, who have the contract to sink 100 feet on tha Marilda, White Signal district, now have the shaft down thirty-five feet, all in ore. The property belongs to Geo. Dickinson and is bonded to Raynolds and Martinez, of Las Vegas. Messrs. Raynolds and Mar tinez visited the property last week, and they think favorably of it. Delaney Ray nolds, Martinez and Jeffords have jnst commenced sinking on the Mongoose, west of the Banner. They have nineteen feet of good ore, the fnll width of the vein between the walls. The Texas and Grand Central mines, Central district, are being worked as usual and the regular quantities of high grade ore are being extracted. On the 300 level of the Texas some very rich ore was found last week. A streak of gold about the thickness of an average case knife blade rnns through the ore, and as the work progresses along the vein the ore shows increasing richness. The Chanoe is working with the usual favorable re sults, and the leasers are making a good thing out of it. A strike of marvelously rich ore was made in the Campbell mine at Lone Mountain late last week. Samples ex hibited were fully 85 per cent silver, and were mailable. The ore, a heavy cerar- garite, ooours in lime, and is usually found in pookets. A stratum of native silver is said to underlie the chloride but up to date the extent of (he find is not definitely known. Deming Headlight. In the Mogollon distriot, work on the Maud S. and Gray Hawk mines is pro gressing favorably. The ore is being worked in the Maud S. mill, five stamps being used on the Gray Hawk and the rest on Maude S. ore. The latter is being concentrated for shipment. Capt. Thomas, the millwright of Silver City, has been busy for some time past in framing the timbers for Newcomb's mill which will bt ereoted at White Signal. It will be shipped to its looation within a few days. Ma Bfttdn rarcdsr ABSOLUTELY Geo. W. Jenkins, editor of the Santa Maria "Times," Cel., in speaking of the various ailments of ohildren said: "When my ohildren have oroup there is only one patent medioine that I ever use, and that is Chamberlain's Cough Remedy. It pos sesses some medical properties that re lieve the little sufferers immediately. It is, in my opinion, the best oough medioine in the market."
