UNITED STATES TARIFF.
DAIRY PRODUCE DUTIES. (By o»b>—Prww Association—Copyright.) (Australian and N.Z. Cabla Association.) (Received February 16th, 10.35 p.m.) WASHINGTON, February 15. The position of the Tariff is becoming anomalous. The Senate passed amendments putting an eight cents all round duty on butter, twelve cents per dozen on eggs, and twenty-three cents ad valorem on cheese. The Opposition Democrats, however, still expect to defeat the measure when it comes to th'e vote. There is a rumour that twelve Democrats have agreed to join them* selves to the Republicans, in order to pass the Bill, but Senator Underwood declared that President Wilson will unquestionably veto the measure, even if it passes. The Republicans are now attempting to build up a sufficient majority to Sass the Bill, in the event of Presient Wilson applying the veto, but owing to a failure to pass the closure the Senate can talk tne measure to death. The session has hardly more than ten days to run "before it must adjourn sine die, so that the fate of the measure is uncertain.
