The hope is that the bill may be ready before the 4th of March so that Mr. Ding- ley may present it to this House, but it is admitted that this may be impossible. The committee will work with that object in view, but it will require very hard work to accomplish it, It is designed to end the hearings about the 11th of January, but the necessities of the situation may demand an extension of the time beyond that. It will take at least thirty days to perfect the bill. A rough draft of the bill may be introduced by Mr. Dingley and referred to ee7-tt BS.

The bill may have to be constructed somewhat differently from the form it would take if the republicans were to be in_a position to do just as they please. There is not the least reason to doubt that they will be able to pass a bill entirely consistent with the principles of the party. The silver republicans will un- doubtedly continue to act together, inde- pendently of the republican party, but it is safe to count on every one of them voting for a protective tariff bill which gives pro- tection to products of the western country. This being the case, it is not at all likely that the republicans will prejudice their prospects of legislation by getting into a Tow at this session. The Present Intention. - The best information as to the intentions of the ways and means committee is that the bil! they will prepare will be very moderate. It is said that a number of things may be amply protected without raising the duties on them as high as they were in the McKinley law. The steel rails schedule is cited as an instance of this. It is said that lead ore and the products of the west generally will be highly protected, and there is a proposition to put a high duty on silver imported into this country. ad . WEYLER HONORED.

A resume of the operations of the lodge during the past year was read, showing that there were 201 members owing less than one year’s dues; $1,292 paid for weekly benefits to the sick; $18.67 for special re- Hef; $32 for nurses for the sick, and $1,227 for the relief of widowed families, making a total of $2,749.67 expended for relief; lodge. expenses, $290.18. After the initiation of a candidate, the visitors were invited to the audience room below, where they en- Joyed a repast prepared by the ladies. The chairman, Geo, A.

It ts reasovable to suppose that by this be aecured and enjoyed have been made clear to all. ‘The greatest pains have been taken to guard against the possibility of misunderstanding. Not only has the wording been clear and explicit as to the dura- tion of the opportunity, but the clear and explicit woring has been given the emphasis of rapid pub- Ushed repetition to make misunderstanding or con- fusion impossible. ‘The purpose of the $3 rate has been made clear. It was adopted because Dr. McOoy found that many who had visited his office felt that they could not afford the money necessary for the treatment; that many also had been kept away because of the gen- eral knowledge that Dr. McUoy'’s fees are high, necessarily made so by the great demands upon his time and skill. It had been Dr. McCoy's intention, in establishing &@ permanent national practice in Washington, to give everybody an opportunity to obtain tho benefits of hie treatment, which had thrilled the country by its triumph over deafness and other deep-seated affections of the ear, the tiroat, the lungs, the bronchial tubes, by its won- derfal triumph over some of those scourges of hu- manity falsely called incurable maladies, While he could not re@ace bis fees—would not do so, in fact—for a specified time he abolished his fees altogether, giving his services free and charging only for the medivines used, making the uniform vate of $3 a month to all. It then became absolutely impossible to care for the thronging cro 74 of people who sought to take Advantage of the opportunity within the time limit set. Dr. McCoy, therefore, frankly extended the rate, making the extension a generous and ample one, covering the last two months of the year. With this extension there has been repeated em- phasis given to the limit.
