THE TARIFF ON SILK
Secretary FaiTchild Urges the Substitution
of Specific for Advolorem
Duties.

WAsHINGT0N, June l4.-Acling Secretary
of the Treasury Fairchild today sent to Mr.
Morrison, chairman of the Ways and
Means Committee, a letter urging legisla-
tion to substitute schedules Of specific
duties for the advalorcm duties imposed by
existing laws on silk and dress goods, cot
ton embroideries and laces and kid leather
gloves. He also submits several schedules
of specific duties, as substitutes for
existing advalorem duties on these
goods The letter explains that the
Secretary's purpose in this communication
Is simply TO advise a change in the method
of leyying the duties on these goods rather
than any change in the amount OF taxation
on them. The rates suggested In the pro-
posed schedules are intended to be an ap-
prOximate equivalent of those collected un-
der existing law and are not he says, to be
taken as a definite recommendation from
the department as 10 proper duties
which should be levied upon these
articles. Secretary Fairchild closes his letter
by expressing the belief that if his recon-
mendatiOns are adopted, the greater pro-
portion of the contentious constantly pre-
yailing al the port of New York with re-
spect TO appraisements will disappear, and
that the full duties will be secured at di-
mished cost of collection. Correspondence
submitted bv the Secretary shows the yir-
tual agreement of representatives of all in
teresied classes as To the Importance of sub
sututlng specific for advaOrem duties
although there is quite difference OF opin-
ION among them as TO the rates.

THE REAL REASON.
Cincinnati Commercial Gaz cite
OUR FOREIGN LETTER.
Especial correspondence of the PRES

Especial correspondence of the PREss.]
THE ELYSIAN FIELDS OF vIRGI'S 4ENEID.
Our next halt was at the Grotto della Pace.
To save only seven miles of travel from
Rome to the sea the Romans cut this tunnel
full half mile through the solid rock. This
was closed for centuries, and as we wan
derOd into its darkness, where no human
foot treads, except when a curious traveller
strays that way, we raised clouds before us
from the accumulated dust of the ages. This
was lighted in the days when Roman char
lots Numbered through the cavernous high
way. We could just descry the inches to
which the sentinels could flee for their lives
when the clash of arms and the rumbling of
wheels warned them that the conquering
hero was on his way. Just ahead of our
path rose the mound which buries the re-
mains of what Eneas called in his time the
ancient city of Cuma. 1t is remarkable that
to-day VirgiPs description of this region and
of the mouth of the Tiber most accurately
describes their present aspect, although they
were in state of high celebration when he
penned his Eneid. Dating the scenes and
achievements of his hero Kneas at period
or hundreds of years before his own time, he
painted the scenery as his Imagination de-
picted its primitive condition, to which Ma
ture has again reverted. Here at Cume,
where the sybil received Eneas, are found
relics of three distinct cities underlying each
other.
All this region is rapidly being put under
cultivation. Hundreds of men are spading
up the hillsides, and every day they hope for
relics as the miser hunts for gold. One day,
as were driving, our friend met peasant
woman who had formerly been a servant in
his house and accosted her, asking what she
had in her apron, when she showed us a few
tear cups and several jars, which she was
taking home from Cume, where she had
been farming that day and had the good
fortune to break into a tomb filled with fu-
nereal treasures Most of them were multi
ated so as to be worthless; but we were glad
to seize this opportunity of securing some
veritable antiques as mementOs of our wan
derings with Kneas.
We lunched at cosy restaurant on the
borders of the Styx. Until last year the
public could not come here, as it belonged to
the king of this principally; but since re-
united Italy has but one king, he has found
it impossible to be ubiquitous in twenty or
more places, as well as expensive to run all
the palaces, villas, hunting lodges and fish
ing hamlets that fell to him with the crown;
not to allow this historic place to run to
waste, but to lease it at rental, thus swell
ing his own purse and affording his subjects
