2 CHANCES IN THE TARIFF. A Synopsis ol Those in the Bill Adopted by the Committee. Several Important Modifications in the Iron Schedule—Full Text of the New Sugar Schedule-More Protec tion for the Troy Collars and Cuffs. Persons Who Come Under the Head of Manufacturers of Tobacco. Washington, March 20.—The tariff bill, as further amended by the democratic members of the Senate finance committee, was laid before the full committee this morning at 10 o’clock and given to the press. A number of important changes have been made, the most important of which follows Cast polished plate, finished or unfin ished, and unsilvered, not exceeding 24 by 60 inches square, increased from 18 to 20 cents per square foot: all above that in creased from do to 35 cents per square foot. Sheets of iron, common or black, ex cepting as hereinafter provided for, thin ner than number 25 wire guage, and all iron or steel commercially known as com mon or black taggers iron or steel, or which have been pickled or cleaned by acid, or by any other material, or process, or which is cold rolled, smoothed only, not polished, shall pay a duty of % of 1 cent per pound—instead of 0-10, as re ported by the House bill and left by the Senate committee. The provisions of tho House bill, also stricken out by the previous Senate bill, that the reduction provided for as to sheets of iron or steel thinner than No. 25 wire gauge shall take effect on and after Oct. 1, ism. has been reraeorpor ated. Tin plates, terne plates, and taggers tin has been reduced from 1 1-5 cents per pound to 1 cent per pound, and the provision of the House bill that this reduction shall take effect Oct. 1, 1894, which was stricken out. has been restored. Cast iron pipe of every description is increased from 20 per cent, to 22] a per cent. Cut nails and cut spikes of iron or steel are reduced from 25 tier cent, to per cent. Rivets of iron or steel are reduced from SO per cent, to 25 per cent. Crosscut saws, mill, pit and drag saws are reduced from 25 per cent, to 15 per cent.; all other saws remain at 25 per cent. TUB SUGAR SCHEDULE. The sugar schedule in full is as follows: “All sugar, tank bottoms, syrups of cano juice or of beat juice, melada, concen trated rnelada, concrete and concentrated molasses testing by the polar!scope not above 80 degrees shall pay a duty of 1 cent per pound: and for every additional degree or fraction of a degree above so and not aoove 00 degrees, shown by tho polariscope test shall pay 1-100 of a cent per pound additional, and above 00 and not above 08 degrees, for every additional degree or fraction of a dogree shovj n by the polariscope test, shall pay a duty of 1-100 of a cent per pound additional, and upon all sugar testing above 98 degrees by polariscope test, or above No. 10 by Dutch standard in color, there shall be levied and collected a duty % of 1 per cent, per pound in addition to the duty imposed upon sugars testing above 98 de grees. Molasses testing not above 56 de grees by the polariscope shall pay a duty of 2 cents per gallon. Molasses testing above 56 degrees shall pay a duty of 4 cents a gallon.’’ Collars and cuffs, composed wholly or in part o£ linen, are increased from 45 to 45 per cent, ad valorem. Shirts and all other articles of wearing apparel of every description, not specially provided for in this act, composed wholly or in part of linen, increased from 35 to .‘hi por cent, ad valorem. These increases were a part of the demand of the two New York sena tors. Troy, Senator Murphy's home, is headquarters for the manufacture of these goods. The schedule for wool and the manufactures of wool, silk and silk goods remains unchanged. Section four of the administrative fea ture, which covers what is known as the similitude clauses, has been charged to correspond with the provision in the House bill which calls for tho highest rate of duty. This change is carried out in the entire section, and is a reversal of the former action of the committee. MANUFACTURED TOBACCO. Avery important amendment is made In the section governing the manufacture of tobacco, which is intended to prevent the sale of leaf tobacco by dealers from competing with the sale of manufactured tobacco, but is so worded as to protect the farmer and grower of tobacco in his right to sell his own product without the payment of a tax. This section is as follows: •’Every person whose business it is to manufacture tobacco or snuff for himself, or who employs others to manufacture to bacco or snuff, whether such manufacture be by cuttiug, pressing, grinding, crush ing, or rubbing of any raw or loaf to bacco, or otherwise preparing raw or leaf tobacco, or manufactured or partially manufactured tobacco, or snuff, or the putting up for use or consumption of scraps, waste, clippings, stems, or deposits of tobacco, result ing from any process of handling tobacco, or by tne working or prepara tion of leaf tobacco, tobacco stems, Bi raps. clippings, or waste, by sifting, twisting, screening, or any other process, shall be regarded as a manufacturer of tobacco. Every person shall also be re garded as a manufacturer of tobacco, whose business it is to sell leaf tobacco in quantities less than the original hogs head, case or bale; or who sells di rectly to consumers, or to per sons other than duly registered dealers in leaf tobacco, or to duty regis tered dealers in manufactured tobacco, snuff or cigars, or to i>ersons who pur chase in original packages for export; and all tobacco, sold by such persons shall be regarded as manufactured tobacco, and such manufactured tobacco shall be put up and prepared by such manufacturer in such packages only as the commissioner of internal revenue, with the approval of the Secretary of the Treasury, shall prescribe; provided that farmers and growers of tobacco who sell leaf tobacco of their own growth and raising shall not be regarded as manufacturers of tobacco, ami so much of section 3244 of the Re vised Statutes of the United Slates, amt all acts amendatory thereof, as are in conflict with this act, are hereby re pealed." A DRAWBACK CLAUSE ELIMINATED. The drawback clause for cotton bagging exported has been stricken out. Section 53 regulating the internal tax on cigars and cigarettes, has stricken from it all changes in that tax and the present law is permitted to stand. In the income tax thcSeuatc committee originally stuck out the provision of the House bill that this act should not apply to the income or dividends of building and loan associations. As rejxjrtcd to day, the bill is intended to carefully guard against taxing bona fide building asso ciations. The tax on playing cards remains at 2 cents per pack. The whisky schedule remains as previ ously agreed upon by tiie finance commit tee, the tax being el.loand the bonded period eight years. Section 102, which was held to lie an ab solute ri i,cal of the McKinley act. has .been stricken from the bill, uud some | parts of that act. notably the tobacco tax, ; are retained under a proper section. The reciprocity treaties, or so-called 1 commercial arrangements entered into under section 3of the McKinley act. are to be abrogated, as provided in the fol lowing section, which tho committee claim meets the objection of the luisiana senators, and removes all ambiguity con cerning the duty on sugar. That sections i3, 15 and 16of an act approved Oct. 1,189 b, McKinley act. are hereby repealed, and I all agreements, or arrangements made, or ; proclaimed between the United States j and foreign governments, under the pro visions of said sections, are hereby abro [ gated, of which the President shall give j such notice to the authorities of said for eign government as may lie required by the terms of such agreements or arrange ments .’’ Section 105 of the previous Senate bill, which directed the President immedi ately upon the passage of this act to notify the government of Hawaii that the United States intended to terminate the the treaty of June 3. 1875. as provided in the fifth article of that, treaty, at the ex piration of twelve mouths from the time of notice, is not found in the bill reported to day. Consequently the Hawaiian treaty stands. The only material reduction made in the revenue to be derived by the bill is that caused by the restoration of the existing internal revenue tax on cigars and cigarettes in place of the increase previously agreed upon. This will reduce the amount carried by the bill by about $9,000,000. There is no change in tho duties on coal, iron ore or lead ore from the recent publication of the bill. No articles have been taken from the free list. Pineapples, bananas and cocoa nuts have been added to it. A WILL CASE COMPROMISED. Gen. J. C. Williams’ Widow to Retain Only $31,000 Worth of Property. Jacksonville, Fla., March 20.—A special to the Times-Union from Tampa, Fla. says: "The famous Williams will case was compromised here to-day. There was about $150,000 worth of property involved. Gen. John C. Williams died in 1892. leav ing his wife, Sarah Williams, all of his property. Mrs. Williams was the second wife, and eight children of the general s first wife contested the will on the ground that their father was insane. By the compromise Mrs. Williams is to have the property, about $31,000, conveyed to her by Gen. Williams before I:is death. The balance of the property goes to the children after the expenses of the litiga tion, which are enormous, are paid. 12x- Postmaster General Dickinson and Mr. Thurber, private secretary to Mr. Cleve land, were of the counsel for tne chil dren." FIRE ON A ROOF. Callahan Narrowly Escapes a Dis astrous Blaze. Callahan, Fla., March 20.—About ,10 o’clock this morning the roof of the store house formerly used as the postoftico, and owned by John O’Donald, was discovered to be on fire. By tho time a bucket brigade could be formed the case looked hopeless, as one entire side of the roof was ablaze. The entire business part of the town was in danger, and every man went to work with a vim. After an hour of iucessant work the last spark was ex tinguished, tho flames having been con fined to the roof. Had it not been for the close proximity of a well w ith a plentiful supply of water, the town would have been destroyed. It is thought that a spark from a Florida Central and Penin sular engiue started the fire. PASSENGER AGENTS. The Meeting at Palm Beach does Over for a Day. Jacksonville, Fla., March 20.- A special to the Times-Union from Palm Beach, Fla., says: “The meeting of the General Passenger Agents Association did not occur to-day as was expected owing to tho non-arrival of many of the members. The association, however, will meet to-mor row, when all the members are expected to be present. A banquet was tendered the members who are here to-night by the management of tho Hotel Uoyal Poin oiana.” GORE AMONG GAMBLERS. A Waynesville Negro Killed in a Row Over a Bet.

HUNGARY’S PATRIOT DEAD. Louis Kossuth Passes Away in Exile at Turir. Turin. March 20. Louis Kossuth, the j Hungarian patriot, died at 11 o'clock to night. Kossuth, the leader of the Hungarian revolution, was born in 1802 in Monock, in the county of Zemplin. in Hungary. His family was of noble rank, but his parents were poor. He studied law at the Protestant college of Sarospotak, and : practiced first in his native country and afterward in i esth. in 1832 he co.n --| tnenced his political career at the Diet of ' l’resburg as editor of a lib eral paster which, owihg to the state ot the law. was not printed, but transcribed and circulated. The subsequent publication of a lithographed paper led to his imprisonment in May, 1837. He was liberated in 1840, and again became the editor of a paper, in which he advocated views too extreme for many of the liberal party among the nobles, but which took strong hold of the people in general, especially the youth of the coun try. In November. 1847. he was sent by the county of Pesth as deputy to the Diet, and soon distinguished himself as a speaker, becoming leader of the opposi tion or liberal party. He advocated the emancipation of the peasants, i he elevation ot the citizen class, the freedom of the press, besides many other liberties heretofore unthought of, and after the French revolution of 1848 openly demanded an independent govern ment for Hungary and a constitutional government in the Austrian hereditary territories. To his speech!s must in great part be ascribed not only the Hungarian revolution, but the insurrection in Vienna in 1848. On the dissolution of the ministry in that year he found himself at the head of the committee of national defense, and prosecuted with extraordinary energy the measures necessary lor carrying on war. To put an cud to all the hopes aud schemes of the moderate party lie in duced the national assembly, in 1849, to declare the independence of Hungary and that the Hapsburg dynasty had forfeited the throne. He was appointed provisional governor of Hungary, but being disap pointed in his hopes for tho intervention of other European powers and finding the national cause jeopar dized by the arrival of Russia on the scene of action, he endeavored to arouse the people to a more desperate ef fort. The attempt was vain. Finding that the dissensions between himself and Georgei, the commanding general of the army, were damaging the national cause, he resigned his dictatorship in favor of the latter. After the defeat at Tcmes var, in 1849, he was compelled to flee to Turkey, where, however, he was made a a prisoner, but. though his extradition was demanded by both Austria and Rus sia. the Porte resisted all their demands. In 1851 he was liberated and tied in an American frigate to England, where lie was received with respect and sympathy. In December of the same year he landed in the city of New York and met the most enthusiastic reception. He lived on Staten Island until the next summer, when he returned to England, and there he chiefly resided until the Italian war broke out against Austria, when almost the vvhole of the Hungarian emigrants left for Italy with Kossuth. He has led a quiet aud uneventful life ever since in Turin. REMOVALS ALL RIGHT. Michigan’s Supreme Court Sustains Gov. Rich. Lansing. Mich., March 20.—The su preme court this morning rendered a de cision sustaining Gov. Rich in removing Secretary of State Joachim, State Treas urer Hambitzer and Land Commissioner Berry, for gross negligence in failing per sonally to canvas the returns of the amendment election of 1898. They hold that it was within the power of the gov ernor to remove such officials under the constitution, and that he has power to de termine as to the facts. A judgment of ouster is entered. After handing down opinion, tho court at once prepared the papers in the writ of ouster, and Gov. Rich appointed the new state officers, as follows: Secretary of State —Washington Gard ner. State Treasurer—J. M. Wilkinson. Land Commissioner —W. A. French. Judge Edward Cahill administered tho oath of office. Secretary of State Gardner at once entered into the discharge of his duties. Land Commissioner French took pos session tnis afternoon, but State Treas urer Wilkinson cannot secure control of his office until 11 o'clock to morrow. FLORIDA PENSION FRAUDS. A White Man and Two Negroes Con victed at Pensacola. Pensacola. Fla., March 20.—C. A. D. Hill, an ex-union soldier, Ben Davis and Martha Hill, the two last named colored, were to-day convicted before the United States court on a charge of conspiracy to obtain a pension by fraud. When asked by Judge Swaine, if they had anything to say, why sentence should not. be passed upon them. Hill stated that lie was a western man unaccustomed and unacquainted with the ways of the ne groes. and had been led into' his trouble by confiding in them when they were un worthy of confidence. ln passingithe sentence Judge Swaine said that the prisoners had been given a fair and impartial trial, and there was no ground for setting the verdict aside in view of the fact that tho jury had com mended them to the mercy of the court. .They woro sentenced to pay a fine of SI.(KH> and the costs of the prosecution and to be imprisoned in the penitentiary at Columbus, 0., for a period of flttfen months and to stand committed until the fine and costs arc paid.

A MYSTERIOUS AFFAIR. A Burke County Citizen Found With His Skull Crushed. Waynesboro, Ga.. March 20.—News has just reached this city of the finding of Mr. W. H. Hatfie.d in a small pond, 2(H) or 300 yards from the public road, in an unconscious condition, with his skull fractured. The pond is near his home, some ten or twelve miles from Waynes boro, and near the Jefferson county line. Mr. Hatfield came to Waynesboro on Sat urday last, and left the city late in the afternoon, driving a mult* to his roadcart. At a late hour Saturday nitrht the mule, without a driver, came up to the gate at his home, making a r.oise, which awakened some of the family. Airs. Hatfield waited an asonable length of time for her husband to come. When he failed to do so, fearing an accident of some kind, she sent for her son. a short distance away. Mr. Hatfield, Jr., took the cart and went in quest of his father. When about two miles from his father's house lie found where the roadcart had turned from the main road. Following its track he came upon his father in an unconscious condition. His saull was fractured and he had litany other bruises on his head and face. He has not been rational a moment since lie reached home. The doctors fear he will not recover, as his o!d age may work against him. . Mr. Hatfield is a very old man. It was an attempt at assassination ; it 1 was one of tiie most cowardly and brutal assaults in the history of Burke county. All of Mr. Hatfield’s money and his packages were found in the road cart and in bis pockets unmolested. The af fair will be investigated. COAT MAKERS STRIKE.
