Mc€citoca, retary of the Treasury v= THER Seware Pixance ComMirrey, at its meeting to-day, decided to Teport adversely upon the House bill making Whicago, Cincin- ati, md St. Louis ports of entry, but will re- port a new bill to the Senate, as a substitute for the House bill. which will be more stringent in its requirements than the House bill. The committee are of opinion that if the present bill ‘was passed. there would be ample opportunity to defraud the Government. The Secretary of the Treasury sent to the committee a bill which in his opinion would cover the case: but even this failed, in their opinion. The com- ‘Mitte also decided to maxe a favorable report to the Senate on the nomination of Mr. Mulford ast ‘ctor at Richmond, Va. THETax On WuiSkEY.—At 2 o'clock the debate closed m the House on the section of the tax bill which fixed the tax on whiskey. Forcible speeches were made to reduge tax.to, fifty cents and less by Mesers. Ingersoll, Van Wyck, Butler. Stevens, Judd and others. The first vote was on an amendment to fix the tx at forty cents, It was defeated by a ‘Yote of 4 ayes fo 70 noes, Another at twenty- five cents shared the same iate. Propgsitions and smendments to fix the tax at various fiz- ures from twenty to forty-five cents were all voted down. Finally, by a vote of 87 ayes to 37 mays, the House in Committee of the ‘Whole agreed to fix the tax at fifty cents per gation. Mk. CULLom, from the House Committee on Foreign Affairs, is prepsring a report to sub- mit to the House on the bills introduced some- time ago, to establish agents in Europe, for the purpose of encouraging emigration to this country. The tortheoming repor: will recom- mead the adoption and passaze of the bills. THE CoMMITTEE oN THE JUDICIARY in the Senate, will probably report favorably upon the nomination of W. M. Evaris as Attorney General, although there is decided opposition to his confirmation on the part of some Sena- ators. The indications are that the vote upon bis confirmation will be a close one, with the vbances somewhat against it. AS SCON AS THE TAX HILL is disposed of the House Committee on Foreign Affairs will call up the bill making an approprisiion for the purchase of Alaska, and an effort will be made by & minority of the committee, who are op- poced to such appropriation, to postpone the | whole subject until the next session of Uon- gress, NomINATIONS by THE PRESIDENT.—The President Wransmitied to the Senate to-day the following nominations —Eswin O.

Harding (Iil.) assured the House that it would be disastrous to the Ronest distillers of illinois to fix the tax at a higher rate than jWenty-five cents specifically: for with the tax her the honest could not compete w.th iMicit distillation, Mr. » (ILL) said he had made all the a in wer to siete collection of whisky tax by inducing admunistration wo appoind Monee Tevenue officials. For tha: effort he had been abused and blackguarded in his own State and elsewhere, but he cared very little for that abuse. Finding that he conld not secure the collection by having honest offi- cisls appointed, he took whe next best measure, and that was to collect the tax (aiier reducing it) at the distillery warehouse. He had beenin tavor of keaping the tax at $2 until the twenty- five million gallons in hands had been patd for. and by which the Government would realize $50,100,000, It soon beeame manifest, however, that this amount would remain in hand until the tax was reduced, and he therefore wanted to secure the greatest amount he could from this whisky in band, and at the same time to secure the collection of the tax. Sixty cents, he believed. would meet both cases, and for that reason he had to the report of the com- mittee. He would, however, agree if it was the sense of the House to reduce the tax to fifty cents, althovgh that would secure only two million dollars for the whiskey now fn‘ hand. ML.

This considerably complic matters with the bosses, as it increases th tronbles sbould they attempt to bring strange bricklayers into the city.
