PRICE ONE CENT, | ACE DOWN, Chairman Payne, of the Ways and Means Committee, Says the Present Duty Will Be Suspended or a Rebate Given to Importers. CONGRESS 10 F GOAL PRICES —— Senator Vest Objects to the Delay In-| volved and Says He Has No Faith in the Promises Made by the Repub-) lican Leaders. WASHINGTON, Jan. 12—Chairman Payne, of the Ways and Means Com- mites, announced to-day that Congress woul ejther suspend the duty on coal or grant a rebate. ‘This was after a conference with Sen- ators Aldrich, Allison, Spooner and Lodge. Atter this conference Senator Aldrich announced in the Senate, when the Vest resolution for the removal of duty on coal came up, that he had reason to be- Neve that “thera would be action else- whieré regarding the removal of the duty.” It has been “the contention of Senator Aldrich that the Senate had no power to initiate such legislation. Mr. Vest vigorously objected, saying that he had no assurance that anything will be done in any othet place. “Circumstantial evidence,” he said, ‘4s strongly against such assumption.” No aetion has been taken, he said, and no suspicion of any action has been een anywhere, and therefore under existing conditions to allow this resolution to go into’ the uncertain and nebulous future be equivalent to its defeat. such unanimity of public sentiment on any subject. He called attention to the action of the Legislature of Rhode Island Jan. 3, unanimously voting for the removal of the duty on coal, and had read news- paper reports commenting on the ac- tion, Mr, Vest said he did not want to embarrass the Senator from Rhode Inland, who was amply able to defend himself, but his desire was to place before the Senate proof of the senti- ment for free coal now existing. In the House to-day Mr. Grosvenor, of Onto, from the Committes on Rules, called up a resolution providing for an investigation by the Committee on Mer- chant Marine and Fisheries into the coal situation, and it was adopted with- out debate. It Js the intention of the Committee on Merchant Marine and Fisherles to xo Into the present coal situation in the most exhaustive manner In compliance with the Grosvenor resolution. Every effort will be made to show that a gigantic conspiracy exists. Authority will be asked to bring books before the committee and to summon witnesses. There is a growing belief 4n both ‘MP. Vest referred to last Thursday's |houses of Congress that a combination debate cn the subject, and declared jexirts between the coal dedlers and the that tha only partisan feature of It|ealircads to keep up coal prices, and It Is came from Mr. Aldrich. In all his ex- perlenice, he asserted, he had never seen to expose and prevent this if possible that the Investigation is ordered. FRANCE HONORS COLLECTED FROM FOUR AMERICANS.
