Aldrich Protests Frequeatly. When Mr. Dolliver declared, as he said, upon the authorlty of Mr. Aldrich, that \he schedules of the pending bill were made by officers of the New York customs house and not by the committeo on finance, Mr. Aldrich promptly denfed that he had made * statement on which such an assertion sould be based.
