NO TARIFF BILL TO BEJEPORTED Chairman Payno Says Matter Not Likely to Cme Before Short Session. WASHINGTON, Dec. 3—Tho home committee on ways and means today decided to continue the tariff hearings until December 19. • Chairman Payne wss authorised to offer a resolution in the house when congress convenes on Monday, whicn will give the committee authority to subpoena witnesses for these supple mentary hearings. It hss been the desire of the committee to get «»*rtam people to come before It and give any tn/orniition Hluy %rtUy have 'wlilch would be of valuo in framing a new tariff law. It has also been found that tho testimony obtained at the hearings during tho past weeks hus not b-’en altogether satisfactory. Tomorrow la tho last day of the original schedule of hearings, but on Saturday Herbert Miles, chairman of the tariff committee of the National Association of Manufacturers will tes tify. Other witnesses also are ex pected to appear on Saturday and on Monday there will be a supplemen tary hearing on the lead schedule. The other hearings will be held on days designated by Chairman Payno. The committee will begin the con sideration of the now tariff bill as soon as the record of the hearings held up to this time has been printed. Chairman Payne was asked If there was any likelihood of a tariff bill being reported by the committee at the short session o; congress. He replied that It was not probable. Mr. Payno would not say whnt witnesses would be summoned If the power to subpoena is granted, but It Is generally understood that J. W. VanCleave, president of the National Association of Manufacturers, will bo one of the most Important. An Indication of the unsatisfactory conditions existing at tho present hearings was given by Mr. Routed, republican member from Illinois, at today's hearing on the woo! tariff. He had received a very unsatisfac tory reply from the * witness before the committee at that time. "I understand that you ure not un der oath” said Mr. Boutell, "but f hope that some time soon the commit tee win have an opportunity to hear witnesses which It feels at liberty to cross-examine at pleasure.” Chairman Payne waa authorized to continue the hearings at an executive meeting of the committee held fol lowing the noon recess. No witnesses were examined after recess. CITY AND COUNTY CANNOT AGREE Conference Between Representatives From Both Fall to Bring About an Agreement, and Commissioners Must Make Another Propo- So far the city and county have failed to come to any agreement as to the con victs for the coming year. At tho conference held by County At- tfrnmr Walter G. Smith and Bupt. K. A. Wimbleh, representing the county, and Mayor A. L. MlUer. City Attorney Chao. H. Hall and Alderman Ellsworth llall. representing the city, the plan that hus been fully outlined bv The Telegraph thoroughly discussed, but without < In* to any conclusion. Messrs. Smith and Wlmblsh said they were authorised to say to the city that they would secure fifty additional con victs from the state for the coming year, these to be turned over to the city and used to work all the streets within tho corporate limits, and In addition the county would nay to the city for the year the sum of $1,000. This was the propo sition from tho county. In favor of this. It was argued that If the city desired to get these 50 convicts from the stato Independent of the county, the city would be compelled to pay Sl6o K r head for them, but gutting them rough the county, would not cost the city anything. The city now pays our about 55,000 a year for free labor to work the streets, working only about 25 men. NNIth this $5,000 saved and the $1,000 given by the county the city would have an abundance with which to maintain the gang of fifty convicts In addition to auch convicts for short terms as may be sent from the recorder's court. The city would therefore have fifty convicts Instead of twenty-five hired men. and would, there fore. be enabled to do a vast amount more work on the streets. The city's representatives argued that the county was laying too much stress on the securing of convicts for nothing for the city. They wanted more money from the county. They finally made this prop osition: They would take the fifty con victs and work only the old part of the city If the county would nay them $5,000: or. they would taka 15,500 and work all of the city within the corporate limits, which would Include that part recently than tlio three thousand dollsra and would therefore report back to a meet ing of tHe county commissioners to be held In the latter part of tho month. And there the matter ended. There Is some difference In the cost of maintaining a convict camp. The Bibb Brick Company has been working them for a long time, and It la known that tho convicts fare well at that camp. Tho cost of keeping them, which includes tho feeding, clothing and guarding, etc., has been found to be $4.50 per capita. Bupt. Wlmbush. who has also considerable ex perience In the keeping of convicts, says that the cost to the county Is 57.60 per canlta nor month. question for the city er It Is best to take — rom the county to do nothing hut street work Inside the city nil the time, or to depend upon the coun ty doing it at Its pleasure. Under tho present law. the streets of tho city aro under the care of the county Just as the Houston road or any of the country roads, and according to the rule that has been In vogue for many years these There Is nothing — the roads take tlielr turn. In tho law. It Is said, thst requires th' irtfeuk working of the streets at any particular time or for any length of time. They mny not work a street In a year, as was the case r.ot long ago. or they may work them frequently. It Is argued that should tho city adopt the proposition of the county they would* have tho convicts with them every day In.the year nnd tho working of the streets Is thus assured. Nothing can now be done until II meeting of the commissioners In the lut- tcr part of December or tho first of January. DINED AND PRAISED CANADA’S BIG ROAD TO BE COMPLETED NEW YORK. Dec. 3.—Frank If.
