HOW IT 18 BEING PREPARED—EXPECTATION THAT IT WILL RECEIVE NEARLY A FULL DEMOCRATIC VOTE. Mr. Hewitt, in speaking of the tariff bill to- day said there seemed to be an erroneous im- Pression as totne manner and method of pre- Paring this bill. After the defeat of the Morri- son horizontal bill last session Mr, Morrison went to Mr. Hewitt and asked him to co-operate with him in formulating a new tariff bill. Since then they have worked together, and the ent bill is the result of their Joint labors, with the concurrence of Speaker Carlisle, ‘The bill follows more closely the Hewitt idea, and is re- garded as moderate in ite provisions. Since its completion it has been submitted ‘to all the democratic members of the committee in con- ference, and while {t is not as radical as some of the more ardent freetraders desire, in the main it fulfills the pledge of the Chicago plat- form, and makes considerable reduction in the higher rates of duty. The free list is quite large, and embraces selt, lumber, fron ore and nearly ail the raw material used ‘In the manufacture of articlesin this country. Mr. Hewitt said that they hoped to finish consideration of the bifl in committee and report It to the House within two weeks. Morrison, Hewitt, and other mem- bots of the committéo ex to got a nearly nited vote of lemocrats, and express great confidence of its final adoption by the House. ——_—ser Snow About the Reservations. THE FUND FOR ITS REMOVAL NEARLY EX- HAUSTED, It is learned that the snow on the sidewalks around the government reservations was re- moved by Col. Wilson, as far as practicable, with the funds at his disposal. The appropria- tfon for removing ice and snow wasonly $1,000, and the heavy storms in January and early In February so nearly exhausted it that should there be another snow storm it will be im i ble to do more than clear the paths through the more important reservations. The total length of the paths and sidewalks through and around the various reservations on the principal lines of travel is between sixteen and seventeen miles, and the absolute area trom which the snow should be shovelled after each storm 1s about 140,000 square yards, or nearly 29 acres. The absolute cost of removing snow after each storm is from two to three hundred dollars, de- pending upon its extent. Objecting to Their Confirmation. A PROTEST FROM VERMONT—AN ARKANSAS CASE, In the executive session of the Senate yester- day afternoon Mr. Edmunds presented a pro- test against the confirmation of Mr. B, B. Smal ley as collector of customs in Vermont, The protest was signed by citizens of that state, and the objection to Mr. Smalley was that he had appointed @ deputy whose reputation, it was leged, was not the best. Messrs, ‘Beck and Butler thought that a flimsy pretext, and sald that if every republican official had ‘been held responsible for all his deputies there would have been many rejections, ‘The Arkansas Senators endeavored to have a register of the land office for their state con- firmed, but as he succeeded a suspended official objection was made, 2 (6, BEMOVAIO i A.

THE CONDUCTORS AND DRIVERS TO WORK LESS TIME AFTER MAY 1ST, BUT TO GET THE SAME WAGES AS NoW—A NOTICE WHICH AGREE- ABLY SURPRISED THE MEN. Yesterday afternoon the employes of the Washington and Georgetown railroad company were surprised by the following notice which was posted by the superintendents in the wait- ing rooms at the various depots of the company throughout the city: “On and atter May Ist, 1886, twelve to thirteen hours, including all Jay over time on the stands, will constitute a day's work for conductors and drivers on the W. and G.R.R. Wages $2perday. By order of the directors, H. Hurt, President.” This notice followed immediately after the monthly meeting of the company, which was held yesterday alternoon, At that meeting the directors voted to make the reduction of the hours. At present the hours of the drivers and conductors on two-horse cars work from fifteen to sixteen hours, including “lay-over” time. Each man is allowed out of that time about fifty minutes fordinner, The wages paid now re $2 a day.so the reduction of time is not attended by any reduction of pay, ‘WHAT PRESIDENT HURT SAYS, To a Sranreporter President Hurt stated this morning that the lessening of the working hours was done voluntarily; that no demand had been made by the employes, and that this new move will cost $75,000 additional per year, as it will necessitate the employment of additional men, horses and cars, which will increase the ‘expenditures 50’ per cent. Mr. Hurt also stated that the Route 3 time of the cars would be see ay change: and that the iongest interval would be fron 5:30 to 6 o'clock a.m., when 5 minutes would elapse between each car; from 6 to 7 o'clock a, m. the interval would be three minutes, and from 7 to 7:30 o'clock a. m., two minutes, and the remainder of the day up to 10:30 p, m., from two and a half minutes to two minutes, which will cabse the cars torun very close to each other on the avenue, while on the 7th street line the interval will average about tnree and half minutes, The present working time ofthe conductors and drivers averages about fifteen anda half hours. There are forty-two horse cars and twenty “bod-tail” cars on the avenue route, THE EMPLOYES PLEASED. The drivers and conductors were much pleased with the announcement. The ears of a STAR reporter, who stood in one of the conductors’ waiting rooms to-day were greeted constantly with expressions of pleasure. Most of the men attributed the action taken yesterday to Presi- dent Hurt's influence in their behalf. “He has been a conductor himself, and he knows what it is,” said one. “When the company talked about reducing pay,” said another, “Mr. Hurt came out for the men and said that ‘he would rather they would take $1,000 off his salary.” The drivers and conductors of the 7th street line were today signing, ‘@ letter addressed to Mr. Hart, which said: “We, the employes of the 7th street branch of the W. & G. R. R. Co., Tecognizing that it is due to your advocacy that the numberof hours have been reduced, we gratefully tender you our sincere thanks; with @ high appreciation of your kindness we sub- scribe ourselves, &c.”” ‘Similar action Is being taken by employes on the other branches of the road. An officer of the company stated to a STAR reporter that the reduction of time would have gone into effect at once if it had not beeu ior the necessity of taking time to provide tor ditional cars, horses und stable room, which will be needéd in order to carry on the Business of the road. Practically the hours will be not more than twelve per day, the limit being fixed at thir- teen in case a’ trip should be only partially compieted when the twelve hoursexpired. An earlier date for the change was not fixed, be- cause it will take until May 1 to rearrange the time tables and make other changes required. — A SERIOUS SHOOTING AFFRAY. A Quarrel Between 8. C.

Couumavs, 0., Feb. 11.—The fact that the house committee on privileges and elections would bring Dan Dalton ‘before the house in contempt because of inis refusal to produce the poll-book and tally-sheet of precinct A, fourth ward, Cincinnati, before the committee, was sufficient to attract a large crowd this morning. At eleven o'clock Chairman Poorman, accompanied by Clerk Dalton and the —sergeant-at-arms, walked down the center aisle of the house, and Mr. Poorman, on a question of privilege, read the instructions of the committee, reciting the fact that Mr. Dalton had refased to allow the com- mittee to take photographic copies of the re- ports while in Cincinnati, and had also retused to produce the same records before the commit- tee. The chairman stated that the question was what disposition should be made of the case. Mr. Dalton upon being asked if he still refused to produce the records before the committee, or the house, stated that he did refuse, and claimed that he had no right to take the offi- etal records outside of the limits of Hamilton county without authority of the court of com- mon pleas, During his remarks Chairman Poorman “was several times interrupted by Hull,of Allen and for a moment there was 2 decided sensation, Mr. Poorman giving Hull to understand that ld not allow him to reflect upon the work of the committee, After Dalton had stated his position, Mr. Samp- son submitted the following: “Whereas, Daniel J. Dalton has failed satis factorily to answer questions legally —pro- uunded to him by this house, or to produce ks and papers reguired of him by a stand- ing committee of this house, and is therein guilty of contempt of iis author= ity; and, “whereas the said Daniel Daiton has refused and still refuses to obey the subperna of the committee on privileges and elections of this house of representatives com- manding the said Daniel J.
