PREDICTIONS ARE" ; FUtfl ( t The Most Eadical Advocates of Rc- ' form Conciliated by Its Provisions.' Associated Press. Vnslilngion, Nov. 27. The new deny ocratlc tatifl' bill has been ' given out. Its provisions fulfill every expectation of those wno predicted it would be a mensure of radical n form. In many respects it Is a Hurprlse even to dem ocrats, as it is unprecedented in many of its provisions. The free list M of llberalscope, sufficient to satisfy the most radical advocates of reform, and the repudiation of tho principle, of re ciprocity is decisive and emphatic. HJius the bill in addition to tariff reforms, will, of passed, necessitate the read justment of the treaties with South American countries, which enjoy praeti- cal or theoretical reciprocity with the Unlled States., The bounty on sugar, instead of being repealed at once, is to be repealed b yeasy graduations, and will not reach its full effect till ifter the close of the present century. The main features are two: First The adoption wherever it seems practi cable, of ad valorem instead of specific duties. Second The freeing from taxes of those great materials of Industry that lie at the basis of production. The following articles have been added to the free list: Bacon, hams, beef, mut ton, pork, meats o all kinds, prepared or preserved and not otherwise pro vided for; baryta, binding twiue, dade in whole or in part of thistle or tarn ploo fibre, manilla, sisal, or sunn, Bingle ply, measuring not more than GOO feet to the pound; blue vitriol, bone car, coal, bituminous and shale and slack or cut; coke, coal tar, colors or dyes not specially provided for, oxide of cobalt, copper ores, old copper, clippings from new copper, all compositions of which copper Is the chief component of value, reguluB and black copper and copper cements copper plates, bars, ingots, pigs, ether forms; copperas, cotton ties, diu' monas, aust or tpori jewels used in tne manufacture of watches and clocks fresh fish, undressed furs, iodine, re- sublimated iron ore, Including magni- ferous iron, dross or. burnt pyrites, sul phur, or pyrites in natural state, lard lemon Juice, mica and crude metallic minerals and unwrought metals, ochre and ochery earths, sienna and sienna earths, umber and umber earths, cot ton seed oil, paintings and statuary. plows, tools, disc harrows, harvesters, reapers, drills, mowers, horse rakes, cul tivators, threshing machines, cotton gins, plush, black for making 'men's hats, quicksilver, salt, silk not further advanced In manufacture than card ing or combing, soap, not otherwise pro vided for; sulphate of soda or salt cake or nitre cake, sulphuric acid, tallow and wool grease, straw, burr stone bound into millstones, free stone, granite sand stone, limestone and other building or monumental stone, except marble un dressed, all wearing apparel and other pergonal effects, timber, hewn and sawed, spar and wharf timber, squared or sided timber, sawed boards, planks. deals, other lumber, lath, pickels, pal ings, shingles, staves, manufactured wood, provided the same duties as now exist shall obtain in all cases in which an- export dut j is laid on any article in me auove scneuuie; cnair cane or reeds; 'woods, namely, cedar, lignum vitae, lncewood, ebony, box, granadllta, mahogany, rosewood, rattan-wood, all forms of cabinet woods, in log, rough, or hewn; manufactured bamboo and rattan; manufactured briar-root, or briar wood, reeds, and sticks of part ridge, hair-wood, pimento, orange, myr tle, or other woods in rough; all wool ot sheep, hair of camel, goat, alpaca, and other like animals, wool and hair on skin, nails, yarn, waste, carTwasis, burr w-iste, rags, Including all waste or rags composed wholly or In part of wool. Chairman Wilson, of the ways and means committee, makes the following statement: "The duty on opium is re duced. In the Iron and steel schedule, free ore, on account of the discovery that bessemer ores In the lake regions and foundry ores ir. Alabama, will give us supremacy in this great line of man ufacture. Pig Mron Is reduced from V. per ton, equivalent to 30 to SO per cent, to 'a uniform d Jty' of 22 1-2 per cent; steel rails from $13.44 per ton, equal to 75 per cent, to 25 per cent; tin plates are reduced nearly one-half, to 40 per cent, which would allow the existing mills to live and flourish: rick el is free; lead ore only 15 per cent; sfl- ver load orjs, ree; unmanufactured lum- her Is free; manufactured, 25 per cent." On the subject of sugar, his statement is: '!Sugar has been a difficult mat ter to deal :wlth. After much consid eration it . was decided to reduce to one half the duty on refined sugars, and repeal the bounty cne-eighth each year, leaving raw sugars untouched at pres ent." , -V "Cigars arc reduced from $4.60 per If ',.i .1 n n .1 or - ,1 A auu u vein clu vuiuicin IU $3 per pound and 25 per cent. Bread stuffs, of which we are Immense ex porters,, are- free, except to countries which put duties on our like products, In which case It ) 20 per cent; fresh vegetables, fruits, eggs and like food products .are untaxed for the benefit of tho working people of the cities; champagne is reduced to VI per dozen quarts against tn the McKlnley bill. Substantial reductions are made in cot ton manufactures, especially, cheap cloths and prints. Hemp and flax are free; cloths and dry goods put at 40 per cent; clothing at 45, rates higher than the committee desired, but deemed tem porarily necessary because our manu facturers have o long been excluded from two-thirds of tho wool of the world that they wU have to learn the art of manufacturing with free wool. A slid ing scale, therefore, is added by which the rates In the woolen, schedule are to crime down five points with the lapse of hv-years. Carpets, jin Industry in which weshall soon be independent of competition, are . reduced from 35 to 50 per cent. "The . bill provides the duty shall be removed from .wool on March 1, and re duced on ' wool goods on July 1. In the Bilk , schedules the reductions, of rates are smaller than In cotton or woolen fabrics. The duty on cut dia monds, pearls, and other precicus stones, Is Increased. "Works or art, I am happy to say, are put on the free list. All manufactures of Iron and steel have a tariff of 25 per cent, ex cept . hollow ware, coated,' glazed, or tinned iron and steel chains of all kinds, 30 per cent. It Is estimated the bill will reduce the revenues, on ' the basis of the importations of 1892. about fifty millions, 'with am 'immensely larger decrease of tax burdeus to the Amer ican people. Administrative law Is retained,-with a few amendments sug gested by the experience of its opera tions." ' MCKINLEY'S OPINOIN. Strong Terms of Condemnation of the Ad Valorem System. Cleveland, Ohio. Nov. 27. Gov. Wc Kinlcy was asked his opinion of the "Wilson tariff Mil. Ho said he had not read an abstract of the measure, uud had only glanced through Wilson's re view of It. He said IU was such a measure as he had expected, yet a little more sweeping than he had anti cipated. It waa, however, in line with the expressed determination of the dem ocracy to ignore the business interests and the working people of the country. One objectionable feature of the bill was the substitution of ad valorem for specific duties. That a'one ought to defeat the entire measure. ' The ad valorem! system, he sold, ' rests upon fc reign valuation, which Is hard to de termine, and it puts a premium upon under-valuation frauds. PLEASD WITH THE BILL. Washington, Nov. 27. The meeting of the ways and means committee to day was very brief. No business was transacted by the committee. The re publican members were supplied with copies of the bill. A few Jocular re marks are being made, and the com mittee adjourned to give time to the minority to examine the measure. The democratic members expressed them selves as highly pleased with the Mil, regarding It as directly In line with tho party platform and pledges. AN EMBEZZLER SENTENCED. Normal, 111., Nov. 27. Wm. H. Shure- iran. who was president of the defunct Exchange Bank, of this place, pleaded guilty today to embezzlement In re ceiving money .for deposit wheh the bank w Insolvent.

The Southern Pa cific has removed the boycott against the Canadian Pacific, announcing It would take all the business tendered by tho Canadian . Pacific at established rates. Other lines ara curious to see If the Canadian Pacific will put up the tariff, now tWt Its only grievance Is removed. POWDERLY'S SUCCESSOR. Philadelphia, Nov. 27.

DISGUISED AS A PREACHER The Jailer Finds a Dummy in His Cot-Various Crimes Laid at His Door. Associated Press. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 27,-John Iry den, alias Hawthorne, alios O'Nell, un der five years' sentence for burglary, and one of the most dungerous crim inals In the Northwest, escaped from the county jail yesterday. Throe street pieachers held sen-ices in the Jnll yes terday afternoon. Prydon Joined with them in singing nnd praying, and when they went awny, walked out with tlu.111. past the guard. Ho had secured a white shirt and collar nnd a black tic and carried, a hymn book. One of the preachers asked him if he was a pris oner.and was told he had Just received n pardon and was determined to lend a better life. Dryden was not missed until locklng-up time, when a dummy was found In his cot by the night Jnllor. The sheriff today offered $100 reward. Dryden Is said to have escaped from the Oregon penitentiary, and It was learned a few days ago that he had escaped from Walla Walla with a two years' unexpired sentence. About ft weeks ago he was taken to Wulla Wal la to serve a five-years' sentence, but was brought back to nwalt action on appeal to the supreme court.' On the way back he leaped from the tialn at Palmer and was knocked senseless. Ue fore the truin could be stopped he re covered sufficiently to crawl Into u hollow log, where he was afterwards found. THE COLUMDIA ECLIPS1CD. T'ie Olympla Shows Her Ability to Eh tubllsh a Now P.ecoid. Santa Barbara, Col., Nov. 7. A heavy fog hanging over the upper end of the channel prevented the Olymjila from finishing her trip today. The cruiser returned to the harbor at 1:30 p. m., rfter having made a rim of 30 miles from Sunderland Heneoii, the be ginning of the coui'fc, to beyond the lighthouse, averaging close on to 23.2ii miles. At this point the fog closed in so thick that the beacons could not be seen, nnd the stake boat was shut out from view. The patent log shows that the Olympla made a distance of thir teen miles at a rate of 25.G9 miles per hour, and for a shorter dls'.inie at the tate of 26 miles per hour. BLUM TURNS INFORMEH. A Number of Other Smugglers riead Guilty In Portland. Portland, Or. Nov.27. Nathan Blum was arraigned In the United Stales district court this morning on a charge of smuggling three hundred pounds of opium. He pleaded guilty, and sentence was reserved. Blum will also plead guilty to all the other Indict ments against him and become a wlt-nff-s for the government In tho trials of the other defendants. This afternoon W. B. Jaekling, U. Patterson, Thomas Berg, B. Ourtliouie, and L. C. Sweeney entered picas of guilty. Sentence was -suspended In each case. WELSH ANTHRACITE COAL. The price ot the srreened Welsh an thracite, free on board nt Cardiff, or other shipping port, ns nnmed in n re cently proiwsed contract, is 3h. fi d., or say 85 cents per ton of 2,240 pounds, while It Is counted that tho cost In New York harbor will not exceed 1 per' ton. There is no import duly on anthracite. The contract calls for ils llveries of 500,000 tons a year and as much more as Is wanted Is to bo sup plied, subject to the usual reservations In case of strikes, etc. The Welsh tin thracita has, when dry, an average composition of 67 to 92 per cent fixed carbon, about 5 per cent of volatile mat ter, and 3 to 6 per cent ash. It Ib an excellent steam coal, and no doubt would, at the prices mentioned, make serious Inroads Into the market for an Highest of all in Leavening Power. thracite and even bituminous coal used in steam making,, It would not, how ever, become as popular a tlomestlo fuel as our sized and clean anthracite, though a marked difference In price , would open many doors to 1U The presence of this fuel In our market will cause the managers of our conl roads to consider more favorably the. demands of the anthracite miners for lower tolls to tidewater, and the low prices at which It can be sold will, be of Interest to the holders of coal road stocks. , It Is rather curious that while we are arranging for the Importation of Welsh anthracite at such extremely low prices as will make It a formidable rival t our own coal, we could ship our Vir ginia, Maryland, and Pennsylvania bi tuminous coals to London at a. great profit, owing to the high price ($11 to $12 a gross ton) which coal now com mands there on account of the coul miners' strike In the north of England.

' Secretary Worsloy, of the Association of Fire Chjefs has addressed the fol lowing letter to the Fire Chiefs, In surance Agents, and othei'3, who are to meet in January In San Francisco: To th chief engineers and repre sentatives ot the fire department ser vice, insurance unions, Inspectors, elec .'trlclans nnd manufacturers of " fire department appliances Gentlemen: Fully recognizing the advantage to be gained by uniting the manufacturing Interests of fire department appliances with the Insurance interests, as placed uion proixrty Iguarded by men of quick preception, sound judgment, cool und prompt executive ability, and to unlt-3 every branch of the fire depart ment service In one grand organiza tion, the Pacific Coast Association of fire chiefs was onganlzed, and has for Its aim an object Becond in importance to that of no mechanical organization In existence, and It commands the at tention and assistance of every pro gressive man tn the flro. department service. That these Interests are better sub served by the meeting together of the heads of depnrtinnts for the dis cussion of all topics pertaining to the management 'of department affairs can not be controverted. ' As well might the physician . hope to succeed by throwing aside his books, ignoring the experience of others of his profession gained by long years of hospital prac tice, and confine his knowledge to the facts gulned In his own limited prac tice, as u department chief expect lo succeed when Ignoring the advantages iccrulng irom attendance on these isiioclallon meetings. N The annual increasing fire inmt Is a menace to ocr n.itlonal protventy, not withstanding the uses of our moucin Improved machinery and methods em ployed. While these losses are appall ing, sight must not be lost of the fact that this sum represents but an ln llnltcslmul part of the property val ues commlted to our care; hence I say that the department chief owes It to Ms city, his state and to the nation that he does not confine his operations to experience gained by hlmi alone; but he must reach out In all directions, gather In and combine tho experience of others with his own. Tip's association is formed for Just such a purpose that we may each one of us profit by the experience of others, a knowledge of which is gained by at.tendnnco at our meetings, Not alone to firemen are these meetings of prac ticable lKMieflt, but they nre attracting the attention of lawmakers, who watch with Interest for tho printed reiKn-ts of their proceedings, and are beginning to use them largely for their guidance In formulating their laws and ordinan ces and plans nnd specifications for their buildings. Groat Is the pity that they did not sooner turn to these sources for Information. And yet the labor of this great or ganization has Just begun. The second annual convention --and exhibit of the association will be held In San Francis co during the Midwinter Fair, and It Is to le hoped that at that time every department on the Pnclflc- coast shall have representation In It, meet with us at our meetings, discuss with us theli' views and experiences, so that they may go back to their homes, bet ter prepared to protect the Interests committed to their care. - Latest U.
