An Analysis of his Bill and the

-
An Analysis of his Bill and the
Changes it Proposes.
Washington, July 4-The articles
transferred to the free list by the
Randall bill would reduce the revenue
81, 526, 124. Deductipg this amount,
would still leave an increase In revenue
of $2,S24, 500. compared with existing
law, although Mr.. Randall's tabular
statement shows that the net reduction
would be In customs receipts S ,570,577.
The reduction by abollshing the ta1 on
tobacco and fruit brandy would be over
SAG, 100000, which, with the increase IN
customs from the increased rate on i'm
portations of tin plate, would make the
bill about S23, 100000, instead of $35,000,-
900, as stated In Mr.. RandalIs tables ao.
oompanylng his bill. MIR. Randall, how
tables. If the rate Of duty proposed by
him on tin plate, 2f cents per pound,
should have no effect in diminishing
importations, the amount of duty
collected would be as stated. But he
estimates hat the increased rate Of duty
would cut off at least fonr-ffths OF the
QuduLlby now lupOEbeu III Cu6 Cehb p6E
pound and produce a corresponding
reduction in revenue. Thus instead Of
So, 0O0,O 0 we would collect but $l,000,-
600 per annum from tin plate. This is
the only item in his tables on which
Mr.. Randall has estimated the amount
that would be collected under his hill.
In every other instance 6 calculation is
made on the quantity OF. value imported
and the result set down as the amount
that would be collected under his bill.
AS allowance Is made in this single item
of the tin plate, it would, per-
haps, have been better had similar al
lowance been made for increased impor-
tations of iron or steel beams and grid
ers, ingots for railway wheels, sheet iron
and o few other articles in the iron and
steel schedule, each of which IS reduced
by the bill from 25 to IS per cent.
and which reductions would undoubs-
eddy lead to increased i~mportatious and
to increased revenue, but to the detri-
ment of American manufactures. Mr..
Randall's tables would have additional
value had his calculations been based on
estimated increase of importations re-
sulting from decreased duties. A re-
duct1on of ~one-quarter cent per pound
on certain forms of manufactured iron
or steel near equivalent to a reduction
of $500 per ton, q cut sufficient in many
cases to paralyzs particular industries
and turn the market over to foreign
manufacturers.

river, struck for an advance in wages.
1t Is generally said in the neighborhood
that they. then, by intimidation. pre-
vented others from taking their

called on by the planters for protection
and went down early yesterday. About
two hundred and fifty colorsd
men assembled from neighboring Places
and began making threats that
nobody should 60 to work or be arrested.
The sheriff attempted TO arrest

and was shot by the. deputy in

heavily armed, when the sheriff sue

avoided what threatened to be o gen.

FIRE RECOKD.

. FIRE IN DENvER-TuR ACADEMY OF
MUSIC IN RUINS.
Denver, Colo, July Cat lbs this
morning, as the people were going home
from celebrating the national birthday a
FIRE was discovered in the academy of
music and before the fire department
could get to work the flames were leap
ing through the building in half a dozen
places, which, a few minutes later, vas
one mass of flames. The heat was
intolerable that the fire department
were driven from the front Ct the
building, being unable to stand the
intense heat. It now became evident
that the academy was doomed and the
tiremen devoted themselves to save the
Rocky Mountain News building. The
Good and McClintock blocks, which
are adjoining are nov on fire and the
outside flames spread so rapidly, and the
heat became so intense that in less
than fifteen minutes after the
discovery of the fire. the wires of the
Western Union Telegraph company
whose office is in the block directly
across the alley from the academy, were
melted aud all service destroyed. The
operators managed to save the Wheat
stone aud other valuable instruments
though several relays we're destroyed
One hundred engines could not have
saved the binding, which was a mass of
RUNS within an hour after the alarm
was given.
The ground floor was occupied az
business houses in which several men
were sleeping OF the time of the fire, all
of whom were rescued by the firernen,
except Tim Euright, an old man, a
roustabout in a saloon. Enright retired
at twelve o'clock last night in an intoxi-
Gated condition and was forgotten until
persisted in the flames.
The cause Of the fire is at present I'M
known. As near as could be learned the
losses are as follows: p. f. Hughes on
academy Of music, $l25. 600; insurance
$4,000; Rocky Mountain News $4,000;
insurance $500; John Kinneavy, saloon
So, 700; insurance 1000; Solomon, cloth

Goode block $4,000, insurance $500;
Joseph Meskey. $4,000, no insurance;

are estimated at $4,000.

A custom has obtained for some years
of voting at the close of each session of
congress n months extra pay to the
officers and employees of the two houses.
This movement is managed and directed
by the officers themselves. usually by
those highest on the salary list and
whose duties are at or about the clerks
desk on the floors of the respective
houses. The practice has been to pre-
vail upon some prominent member of
the minority to offer an amendment to
n of the appropriation bills providing
for the payment of one months extra
salary, the officers and employees, in the
meantime, having successfully worked
upon q sufficient number of members to
carry through the amendment. The
house having voted this gratuity to its
officers furnishes excuse for the senate
to make like provision for officers and
employees of that body. Comparatively
few of the members stop to think of
the sum of money taken from the treas.
ury by this annually, other wise they
would scarcely vote for an abuse that
would cost annuaIlyAbout $4,000.
