Spanish Duties.

Madrid, 24.-Minister Camacho pro.
poses q gradual reduction in the customs
tariff. He said Spain would renounce
all existing commercisl treaties
on the prOmulgstion of the
rev tariff, and would conclude
fresh convention on the basis Of
the proposed reduction. Those nations
which had no treaty with Spain will not
participate in the advantages Of the new
tariff. Spain at the same time reserves
to herself the right ofimposing addi-
tIonal import duties upon foreign pro.
auctions imported by sea, which are also
produced in Spain, and the introduction
OF which is calculated to prejudice home
Interests. Sugar would be charged q
duty of us pesotss per 100 kilos. Tits
also intended to allow free coasting trade
between Spain and all her colonies. No
charge would be nade on the produc-
tons of Cuba, Porto Rico and the Philli-
pine Islands, except on spirits, cocoa,
chocolate and coffee. The duties on these
would be reduced one-hak in 's5 and
'otally abolished in 'sS. t. however.

Chicago, 24.-The Vanderbilt roads
have followed the advance in both pas
senger and freight rates, but though
recognizing the advance did not fully
meet it, keeping in visw the diferential
tariff which has all along been bone Of
contention. The Vanderbilt lines made
passenger rates as follows: Chicago to
New York, SIS, with rebate of S7.25;
to Boston OiG Albany, SIC, with re-
bate Of 81. 25; Springfield. $15, with re-
bate of $7.25. The Baltimore and Ohio

day, but will probably adept their new
rates tomorrow. The freight rates fixed

tTHE Gospels according to St. Storey are
curious and amusing, but ne do not see that
they have historical or literay value. To say
nothing Of the typographical absurdties in
which they abound, the q enterprising ~
editor seemed to labor under the impression
that there were but seven chapters in Luke
and five in John. THIS is a mistake. There
are twenty-four, chapters in Luke and
twenty-one chapters in John. The mutilated
version Of two Gospels and parts of two other
Gospels printed In Mr.: Stprey's fraudulent
newspaper are of no account to anybody. The

THE CHICAGO TRIBUNE has taken hold of
this matter, and 1t will meet the just expecta-
tions of this community. It does not pro-
pose to give any partial reprint Of the revised
New Testament, nor to admit any fabrica-
Hons of the Gospels to its columns: 1t lays
before its readers this morning the whole
Testament from Matthew to Revelation,
without the omission Of aline Or word. Thus
1t gives for five cents, IN addition to its usual
reading matter, 4 volume which is selling in
the cheapest form in New York for Is cents,
and which is not on sale In Chicago to-day at
any price whatever, except US it can be OBJ
tainedi in The TRIBUNE. We leave the peo-
PIE to judge of the relative merits of that

THE TRIBUNE presents to 6, 600 purchasers
and 100000 readers this morning, in addition
to a regular issue Of twenty pages, the re
yised edition Of the New Testament entire
The whole work, without the omission oil
single chapter or verse, is oontalned In six
teen pages of the size usually issued from
| this Office.
There are journals which would find a
publication of this kind considerable under
taking, But The TE1BUSE's typographical
and mechanical resources are such that il
can issue any volume Of ordinary size at
a days notice. The public may be inter
ested to know that the first type of the New
Testament as 1t appears In our columns to-
day vas sat at 10 O'Clock yesterday morning,
and tile last page made up and storcotyped
at 10 o'clock last night. The job was COM
pleted, therefore, i'll precisely twelve hours.
Ninety-two compositors were employed in
setting type, and FIVE in correcting errors
noted by the proof-rcaders. i
Meanwhile, twenty additional pages of adj
vertisemcnts and reading matter were set up,
corrected, put in forms, and stereotyped; so
that We are enabled to issue this morning
thirtysix pages, not one line Of which had
been put in type at 10 o'clock yesterday
morning. -
At i O'Clock in tho afternoon many of the
compositors engaged upon the New Testa-
nellt were required to set Advertisements.

have been finished in something less than

This issue of TIE TRIBUNE will open tho
eyes of many newspaper readers to tho
amount of reading-mattcr contained in its
ordinary editions. The New Testament Is
set in type two sizes larger than thpt used
for advertisements. If agate typo had been
used, the whole Bible might easily have been
printed in The TRIBUNE of this morning
and plenty Of room have been left for news
and advertisements. Tile New Testament
might have been put in ten pages Of adyer-
tising type. -..-.
THE TRIBUNE is not inclined to boast Of
its present achievement. It believes in doing
thoroughly what it undertakes to do at all.
Hence it has not undertaken to give rlan-
glesl extracts from 4 few books Of the New
Testament, but to print the revision in sllcll
q shape that 10 reader Of TIE TRIBUNE need
ever buy copy of it unless lie feels dis
posed to do SO for special reasons, /

may have inlitators. It expects them. But |
it can have none who will be any more than

toned to having its ideas plagiarized by
