The Senate finance committee has oo* j eluded to-hear evidenoe on the tariff question. Erastus Wiman thinks the MoKinleyj bill will overthrow the Tory party in Canada, and force a commercial union between the two countries. Blaine will never be a candidate for President again, but will give his strength! to Harrison. So say intimate friends. The pension will not be reported from the conference committee until next week. It is decided that the provision in the House bill for an aged pension shall be omitted. The conferees on the part of the House have abandoned their efforts to tecure its retention in the bill. The point St issue now is the amount of the pension • The Senate committee wants to fix it at: sl2.

Another meeting will be held on Thursday or Saturday, when the committee hope to complete their work and make their report on Monday or Tuesday next.
