Randall's Tariff Bill

Washington City, March 13.- Mr. Bandall is doing more personal solicitation for his tariff bilí now than he was ever known to do for any measure. He has approached almost every member whom he has even a suspieion would support it and has labored to get a vote. He believed up to a few days ago that he would get the support of all the Republicans and that the latter would not present a bül at all. He has not entirely abandoned that belief, but is considerably diseouraged. He explains his proposed reduction of the whisky tax, which meets with so much opposition f rom all parties, by saying that it is left for the states to impose an additional tax of the 40 cents per gallon which he takes off, or more or less, and apply it to their own uses, for school purposes if need be, ' and thus the revenues of the federal goveniment are decreased while those of the states are increased. Republican menibers look with general favor upon the measure, but they say they will get up a bilí of their own. The majority of the committee on ways and means will likely report their bill to the house this week and ask that debate upon it be begun next week. They want a vote upon it before the middle of May. ;
