TAX REDUCTION.
Additional Points from the Tariff Bill Re-
ported by the Senate Committee.
Special to the Indananolis Journal.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-The tariff bill re-
ported to the Senate to-day is considered as
going much further in the direction of tariff
reduction than the bill which is nearly COM
pleted by the Ways and Means Committee
1t is estimated that it will effect in the Gus
toms reduction for the ensuing year of
about $36 900, 900, of which amount the largest
item, about 81 ,000000, will be upon sugar
With the proposed reduction in internal rev.
enue taxation contemplated by the bill, the
total reduction by the bill will be about
$50 100000, which is as great reduction as
can safely be made at this time and meet the
necessary expenses of the government and
pay the interest on the public debt. 1t is be-
lieved that harmony Of views will be reached
between the two houses, and that tariff bill
will be passed not varying materially from
the one reported to-day.
The bill comes to that body as the internal
revenue bill which passed the House at the
last session, with amendments including the
tariff schedules adopted by the committee
and the bill introduced by Mr. Morrill, at the
last session, Ito provide better system for
the trial of customs revenue cases." and the
bill introduced by Mr.. Sherman on the 2lst
of December, "to regulate the collection of
customs duties" The internal revenue bill,
which forms the basis and the first four sec
tons of the new bill, is amended in its title to
read, "An act to reduce taxation"
Section one of this bill is amended
to read that the taxes herein
specified imposed by the laws now in force,
be and the same are hereby repealed, as
hereinafter provided, namely: On capital
and deposits of banks and bankers, except
such taxes as are now due and payable; and
on and after the lst of July, 1888, the stamp
tax on bank checks, drafts, orders and vouch
ers, and the tax on matches perfumery,
medical preparations and other articles inn
posed by schedule A, following section g. 437,
Revised Statutes; provided, that no drawback
shall be allowed upon articles embraced in
said schedule that shall be exported
on and after July l. 1888; pro-
vided, further, that on and after July

GENERAL AND PERSONAL.
The President Declines to Grant Pardon
for Dick Liddle.

for Dick Liddle.
WASHINGTON, Jan, 4.-The President to-
day decided not to interfere in the case of
Dick Liddle, now in Jail at Huntsville, Ala,
charged with robbing United States pay
master at Mussel Shoals, Ala, in the spring of
1881. The application for the pardon Of Liddel
was made by Governor Crittenden, of Mis-
souri,, and other high officials of that State
including the United States Attorney and
chief of police of Kansas City, on the ground
that a pardon would aid materially in the
conviction of Frank James now waiting trial
at Independence, Mo. The Presidents ac-
ton is based on reports from the Attorney
general, who made an adverse report on the
petition for pardon on the ground that moth
ing would be gained by such action, as Lid
die is as much deserving of punishment as
James.

notifications in the recent executive order
relating to the consolidation of internal reve-
nue. districts Tho counties of Pender and
Vance, in North Carolina were added to the
fourth district as constituted by the recent

created and were accidentally overlooked
when the question of rcorganizing the dis
tricts was first considered. 't
"a In the original order the districts Of Mon
tana, Idaho, and Utah We're consolidated, and
Ovando j. HolliStcr, collector of the present
Utah district, was designated as collector OF
the new district. This was changed yesterday
by the designation ofl'hos. p. Fuller, colec-
tor of the present Montana district rs collcc-
tor of tho new district, vice Hollister, drop
ned The change wus made because of the
greater collcctinoS in the Montana district
Tho most important change, however, was
in Kentucky resulting In the retention of
one more district in hat state than was al
lowed in the original order. Under the new
orGer of things, the present sixth district
will be retained with John W. Finnell rs col
loctor, and headquarters probably at Coving-
ton. f" .'|f.
All the counties in the present ninth dis

Am. Swopc collector of the present seventh

that this modification of the original plan was
rendered necessary by reason of diverse busi-
ness connections of the distillers near Lex
