President Cleveland Sees No Reason for
Such a Thing.
Washington, Jan. 3.—A number of the
Democratic members of the senate ap
propriation and finance committees at a
conference today decided to endeavor to
put on to the urgent deficiency bill a
rider In the shape of a repeal of the
free alcohol clause of the new tariff set.
The subject Is being quietly dlecusiied
and Republicans were sounded this nfter-
noon as to their feeling in regard to the
matter. It Is said that the committee Is
urged to effect tbo repeal of this law II
possible, and efforts In that direction nre
being made. Tho Republican leaders de
cline to commit themselves, but It Is un.
deratood they will oppose any attempt
to revive the tariff agitation and will not
permit amendment, however smnll.
It Is authoritatively stated this after
noon that President Cleveland has not
considered the question of an .-xtra ses

necessary and there Is nothing In tho
situation at present to Justify him In
calling the flfty-fourth congress together

The committee recommends that tho

“The committee believe that an exami

answer the purpose. The removal of tho
