•Some Pointers as to Items That
Will Be Effected
INCIDENTAL.
r
Enlargement of the Free LUt May
nablj He Expected—Whisky
and Beer Will Hare to Con*
tribute More Revenue.
Washington, Oct. 11.—Work on the
tariff bill by the Democratic members of
the ways and means committee contin
ues on the lines of making the raising of
revenue tho object of the bill and protec
tion the incident. That, according to
one of the members, is the direction the
proceedings are taking.at present. There
seems to have been considerable talk
about enlarging the free list, as there
are many objects now subject to duty
which yield but little revenue to the
government. This points to many agri
cultural products where competition
with American producers is impossible
to any considerable extent.
The tax on wheat and other grains
may be abandoned, with the exception
of barley, ns there is a considerable de
mand for protection against Canadian
barley. It seems lhat the protest of the
market gardeners of the Atlantic coast
who did not want tho duty removed
from vegetables, will not have very
much freight, as there seems to be an
opinion prevailing In the committee that
Bermuda products will not cut much of
a figure as competing against those
grown on Long Island and other places
along the coast. It is argued that the
Bermuda products are shipped in at a
time when the products of the home gar
dens could not be planted. The market
gardeners in the vicinity of Buffalo, De
troit and other large cities along the
Canadian border have been disturbed to
some extent by the anticipated competi
tion of the Canadians, bat members of
the committee say that the consumers
will receive the benefits of the reduction
in prices, if any follow.
It was supposed that after the state
ment of the governor of West Virginia
before the committee, perhaps Chairman
Wilson might be inclined to oppose a
change in the coal schedule. But it is
intimated at the least that coal is very
likely to go on the free list. It has been
i argued that the West Virginia coal fields
are benefited only where tidewater can
be reached by rail and canal routes, and
thpt is a small matter when the entire
consumption of coal is considered, while
it is claimed that the benefits to be de
rived by free coal to the New England
^manufacturer, is an item of groat im
portance. It has also been claimed that
JP&e interior coal fields cannot bo* affected
materially by free coal.
There has been considerable talk over
the iron and steel schedules and there
ore intimations that this is the most dif- j
licult problem that has yet confronted
the committee and one which is still
quite far from settlement. Members of
the committee have talked about a re
duction of the duty on pig and scrap iron
from $6.72 to $6.50 or $6 per ton, with
the .view that there would be large reve
nue derived from importations under
such a reduction. As to the manufac-
* iured products of iron, there is yet noth
ing that can bo called an agreement.
That there will be a reduction is beyond
doubt, but the fixing of duties is consid
ered one of the difficult matters Wore
the committee.
The iron ore schedule is another st um
bling block. The pressure from the re-
8 ions along the great lakes is for a re
action of considerable duty. The Lake
Superior iron miners, who have a large
output, have been urging their members
of congress to maintain, if possible, pro
tection on iron ore. But this part of the
bill has not been generally discussed by
members of the committee. Some mem
bers of the committee say there will be
no difficulty in raising sufficient reve
nue, and that they need not fear making
reduction on that ground.
It is intimated that whisky will stand,
an increased tax of 35 or 80 cents a gal
lon very easily; also that tho tax of $1
a barrel on beer is very light, especially
as the brewers are expecting a reduction
on barley and hops. There are also in
timations of evening up* the duty on
sugar, sor that refined sugar will have no
advantage over raw sugar. As a means
of raising revenue some members of the
committee say that half or a quarter
cent may be placed on sugar without
any ill effects.
on rules, reported • a resolution for the
immediate consideration of the bill
amendatory of the Geary Chinese exclu
sion act. He gave notice that he would
call the resolution up later.
To Tote on Tucker** BIIL^
At 1 o'clock the house proceeded un
der the special order to the considera
tion of and vote on the Tucker federal
election bill and the amendments
thereto.
Duty on Tobacco.
Washington, Oct. 11.—In order to se
cure uniformity in the classification of
imported tobacco, particularly with ref
erence to paragraph 642 of the tariff act,
the treasury department has issued a cir
cular to the custom officers on the sub
ject. This paragraph provides that if
any portion of tobacco imported in bales,
boxes or packages is suitable for wrap-
pen, the entire quantity contained there
in shall be dutiable at $2 and .
pound, according to whether it is
med or not.
The circular provides that unless
wrapper tobacco is designedly packed
with filler tobacco in appreciable quan
tities, it should not interfere with the
classification of the package as filler to
bacco.
A Fight on Taylor, the Negro.
Washington, Oct. 11.—A story is
current at the capitol that Senator Hill
has determined to make an active fight
to prevent the confirmation of Charles
H. J. Taylor, the colored man from
Kansas, recently nominated as minister
to Bolivia.
Another Bank Resumes. r
Washington, Oct. 11.—The First
National bank, of Birmingham, Ala.,
which suspended payment August 2,
181)3, has been permitted to reopen for
business.
OFFICIALLY DENIED.
Those While Cap Out rases in Mississippi
, Are Mere Myths.
Jackson, Miss., Oct. 11.—Governor
Stone has received information from
Hon. H. M. Street, speaker of the house
of representatives, and one of the most
prominent insurance men in the state,
confirming what the governor has al
ready said contradicting the burning of
gins by White Caps.
Colonel Street states that he does not
know of a single ginhouse in the state
that has been burned by White Caps, or
supposed to have been burned by White
Caps. Mr. Ramsey Wharton, a promi
nent insurance man of this city, has
made a personal visit through eight or
ten counties where the outrages were
said to have been committed, and he re
ports that he failed to find a single gin
that had been burned or posted by
White Caps.
He finds no foundation for the repeat
ed rumors of outrages committed by
White Caps, and he believes such out
rages exist only in the imaginations of
people at a distance. Mr. Wharton far
ther states that the loss on gamories
burned has been less this season than for
the same period at any time since the or
ganization of his agency.
TELEGRAPHIC TIPS.
In a coal train wreck at Exeter Sta
tion, Pa., Edward F. Corcoran, of
Schuylkill Haven, Pa., was instantly
killed.
H. C. Passmore was acquitted of the
murder or Richard Paxton at Harrods-
burg, Ky. This was the fifteenth time
the case had been passed upon.
John Holley, Jr., a bridge builder at
Lyons, N. Y.. beat Lawyer VauEtten to
insensibility because the latter would not
lend him a cane with which to attack
Henry Bishop.
A Stage Robbed In Texas.
Ballinger, Tex., Oct. 11.—Within
three miles of Robert Lee, Coke comity,
the Ballinger and Robert Lee stage was
robbed by two highwaymen. They took
$167 from the driver and rifled the mail
sacks, securing about $3,100.
The World’s Fair Record.
Chicago, Oct. 11.—Tho paid admis
sions to the World’s fair grounds Mon
day were 718,616, the largest by far ever
known at any international or other ex
position..

In the Senate.
Washington, Oct. 11.—The resolution
offered by Mr. Dolph, calling on the
state department for information as to
whether the Chinese government has re
quested an extension of the time for the
registration of Chinese laborers under
the Geary ball, was laid .before thb sen-
• ate.. •_ ,
Mr. Dolpli set ont to make a speech
upon It, but was cut ofiE by a suggestion
from Mr. Sherman that tho resolution j
referred to executive business and had to i

Mr. Dolph attempted" to nrguo that,],
rule was not applicable in this, bat was ■
again cut off by the ruling that even the |
suggestion that tho matter before the 1
senate involved executive business re
curred the presiding officer to order the
galleries cleared and the doors closed.
That ruling did not suit Mr. Dolph’s
