A0KI PURCHASES COTTAGE
Washington After thre. week of
consideration the !'nn tariff bill
wa passed by th houiw of repre
sentative amid great excitement.
An attempt by Champ Clark, minori
ty leader, to recommit the bill with
Instruction signally failed. Th sit
uation with respect to lumber was
great rell.vi'd to the Republican
leader wh n It betnime manifest
that the udvocut!s of plsiing It on
the free list were In the minority.
The bill was lutroducod on March
17, reported to the house by the
ways and mean riumlttee on tbe fol
lowing day and wiia under general
debate for 16 days.
One of the piiucIjHil change In
the bill was the pluclng of petroleum
on the free list. Among other Im
portant ameudment made since the ;
bill came from the committee were j
those striking out the provision for
a duty on tea and the countervailing
duty provision on coffee.
The drawback section was added to
the bill so that It could not be tak u
advantage of for speculating In
grain, and the Philippine free trade
provision was amended so that rlco
will not be admitted free from tbe
Islands.
The countervailing duty clause on
lumber was stricken out, but a
strong effort to place lumber on the
free list did not succeed.
The duties on barley malt, pine
apples In crates and cotton collars
and cuffs, a originally In the bill,
were Increased. A proviso was In
cluded In the tobacco schedule In
creasing the duty on filler tobacco
from any county which prohibits the
Importation of American tobacco.
There were several technical
changes In the steel schedule, prin
cipally downward. Hides, hosiery
and gloves were left as reported by
the committee, hides remaining free
and an increased duty being present
ed for gloves and stckltiKs. The
contest over free petroleum; wae
stubborn, but the vote In its favor
was overwhelming..
The estimates of the revenue
which the Payne tariff bill will pro
duce have been reduced nearly $20,'
000.000 through the amendment
made by the house. The senate
finance committee must provide
means for making up this difference,

The senate tariff bill, 30 far a
rates are concerned, Is complete, but
It was decided that In making a re-
oort. Chairman Aldiich will an
nounce a reservation or certain im
portant schedules for future action
These reservations will include
hides, steel rails, wood pulp and
crude petroleum.
Aldrlch asserted that the senate
committee had made a more general
revision of rates than was made by
the house committee on ways and
means, and that reductions had been
made on a greater number of ar
ticles. This did not mean that, there
would be a reduction of revenue,
but there would be recommended a
bona fide revision downward of the
tariff.
In the report made to the senate,
bides will so on the free list, as
provided by the Payne bill, but a
question of fixing a rate in accord
ance with the sentiment of the sen
ate, as expressed through a canvass
taken by Western senators, will be
taken up in the near future.
No decision has been reached on
the subject of wood pulp. The same
is true of crude petroleum.
The duty on lumber also promises
to occasion debate in the senate, and
while no change from the Payne bill
will be recommended, it is predicted
that a number of amendments will
be offered on the floor of the senate.
; Protests made by heavy Importer
of gloves and hosiery against the in
crease made by the Payne bill over
the existing Dingley rates, as well as
protests made by thousands of wo
men throughout the country, In
duced the senate committee to agree
to recommend continuance of the
Dingley rates.
