It had been suggested that the provision for the free entry of 300.000 tons of euuar and 300.000 pounds of to bacco would permit the Importation under these limitations ,of products of neighbor ing inlands through their importation Into the Philippine Islands. This danger has been eliminated by making these products dutiable when imported Into the Philippine Islands. Changes made In the cotton and wool schedules are of interest largely to the manufacturers of cotton and woolen cloths. The intent of the Dingley law retarding the assessment of duties on cotton cloth has been carried out through ii change in tho provision as to the met hod to be used in counting the threads. In cotton cloths. The new proviso and the rearrangement of duties on the various grades of cloth eliminate the Hinl.lsulty which caused difficulty in carrying out the provisions of the ex isting law. without changing the ad valorem equivalent of the specific duties. Keep Free Breakfast Table. P.y restoring the Ulngley rates to barley and barley malt and reducing the taxa tion on the breakfast table by cutting down the duties on coffee substitutes and placing cocoa on the free list, the Senate amendments to the Payne bill present a bid for popular favor.

Newlands told- the Senate the purpose of the provision was to prevent prohibitive duties. Notice of a proposed amendment was given by. Oanlet, the purpose of which was to Impose a tax of one-quarter of 1 per cent on the gross receipts of cor porations. The amendment was re ferred to the committee on finance. Has Knlarged Flee List. Leaving the question of free bides and free coal In an unsettled state, the com mittee has made many changes In the free list, most of which restore to the non dutia.ile list the articles upon which the House committee placed a duty. On the other hand, several articles, of which iron ore Is the most important, have been re stored to the dutiable list. A duty of 25 cents per ton. a reduction of 16 cents from the Dingley rates, has been fixed for iron ore, ar.d the duty on basic slag, which also was on the free list as the bill was pa.vseu by the House, is made $1 a ton. The differential of J2 a ton between pig Iron and scrap iron has been eliminated, but the duty on both pig and scrap Iron is retailed at a ton. a reduction of i.S0 Irom tho Dingley rates. The committee has. on the whole, fol lowed the policy with regard to the iron und steel schedule which it adopted in amending the Dingley bill In 1S97. namely, slighting reducing the rates on the various iron ami steel products. Other changes of importance from the I'ayne rates are: Har iron, reduced 1-10 cent per pound and muck bars Included under same rate. Charcoal iron, reduced J10 to 33 per ton. Original Payne rate J. su-ol Duties Increased. Structural iron, increased 1-10 cent per pound, but limited to strctural Khnpes not assembled or manufactured or advanced beyond hammering, rolling or casting.

Sheets of Iron or steel, polished, re duced t cent a pound. Steel wool. 11 cents per pound. The paragraph covering diamond steel baa been stricken out. Slight reductions have been made in nearly all the duties contained In the wire schedule. Steel rails, left at J3.9S per ton, as llxed by the House bill, but may be tdlgiitty increased. Automobiles, including tires, axles oid ball-bearings, which were not covered In House bill. 45 per vent ad valorem.

In the Dingley law the rate is 31.60 a pound and 10 per cent ad valorem. One of the most significant changes made by the Senate committee is that which restores the rates of the Ding ley law on women's stockings. The House committee had provided material increases in the duties on tho cheaper grades of hosiery and did not disturb the duty on the highest grade. Other changes in the cotton schedule Include a pro vie Ion tnat no cotton thread or carded yarn shall pay a less rate of duty than 30 per cent ad valorem, and that threads and yarns, when mercerized, shall pay an additional duty of l-20th of 1 per cent per pound. Cotton and cotton wasto and floss manufactured or ad vanced in value are taken from the free list and provided with a duty of 20 per cent ad valorem, although that unman uTactured Is left on Uie free list. A minimum rate of 25 per cent ad valorem is provided for spools, thread or cotton upon which a specific duty would equal a lower ad valorem rate. The paragraph covering cotton cloth not bleached or dyed, is extended to include additional values. The original provision of the Payne bill, providing for the method by which the count of thseads in cotton cloth should be determined, has been practically restored. The only ex ception is the requirement that each ply of two or more ply thread shall be counted as a thread. Otherwise the cot ton schedule Is practically unchanged. Flax and flax straw are taken from the free list and provided with duties of 1 cent per pound and 35 per ton. Wool Reductions Cut Out. The Senate committee "stands pat" on the changes in the wool schedule. It restores the provisions of the Dingley law, striking out the changes made by the House committee. These include the reduction of the rates pn low-priced wool of the third class and the increase of the rates on the higher grade wool of the third class, or carpet wool. It re stores the Dingley rates on top waste and shoddy, which were reduced 5 cents per pound by the House. It strikes out the special provisions, for tops, leaving them subject to the duty provided for manufactures of wool not specially pro vided for. In the chemical schedules there are nu merous important changes. The Payne rates have been restored on varnishes and on coal tar dyes and colors. A com pound rate of Jti cents, per pound and 15 per cent ad valorem is provided for blue valued above lO cents per pound wnd not above 35 cents per pound, instead of 25 per cent ad valorem.

SAN FRANCISCO, April 12. Copies of correspondence exchanged recently be tween United States Senator Perkins, of California, and Secretary Nagel, of the Department of Commerce and Labor, relative to the closing of the newly-constructed immigration station on Angel Island, San Francisco Eay. built at a cost of approximately 150,000, have been re ceived here. Mr- Perkins wrote to the Secretary, protesting against tne decision to close the station, and declaring the present immigration quarters, in particular the detention shea for Orientals, to be a dis grace to the Government, and such that only a Chinese would consent to stay therein. He suggested that, if the appro priations .were not sufficient to meet the expense of maintaining the new station, a portion of the head-tax on Immigrants gathered at this port might be diverted to that use. Secretary Xagel said that the limited appropriation would not allow of the opening ot the station until the need for it became greater, namely, when the Panama Canal was opened and European Immigration headed this way. He said that the condition of the detention shed was a matter that should be taken up with the Pacific Mail Company, rather than the Department The Senator lost no time in replying, quoting liberally from reports of various Government officials who have investi gated conditions here, and strongly urg ing the opening of the new station. To this the Department replied that it had no data, which supported the conten tions of the Senator as to the need fer more quarters, concluding with the state ment tnat the Inspector-General of Immt- grfatlon would come to the Coast to in vestigate during the present year.
