TO the free list is about $5,500000
In metals pig iron is reduced from S6.72 to
$500 per ton.., There is slight reduction on
iron rails are reduced from SIT to $3.50 per
ten. Small rails weighing less than twenty
five pounds per yard, are reduced from $40 so
per ton to SIS There is also some reduction
in lead and copper The only alteration on
woods is in the third class, or coarser
woods, for which there are at pres
ent two rates-2A cents per pound on those
pound above IL cents. The two classes are
amalgamated at Il common duty of
2 $40 cents per pound. On flax and
linen goods there is slight general re-
duction. The present rates of 40, 81, etc. per
cent. are placed generally five points lower,
making an average reduction of about Is per
cent. Sugar is reduced 20 per cent. which will
leave the duty on sugar about 80 per cent ad

port duty. There is a similar provision as to
the lumber which is put on thS free list. Can
ada, the principal source of supply, win not
be allowed to pocket the duty. The duties on
rice, starch and marble are reduced.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-In speaking of
the tariff bill introduced by Mr.. Morrison,
of Illinois, yesterday, Mr. Hewitt, OF New
York, said last night that the free list pro-
vided in the bill was not large enough to
suit him, and that he would move to add
plate tin to the list. Mr. Springer, of Hi
nois, thinks that it is wisely framed and
the best bill that could be introduced with
any prospect Of success. Mr.. Dingley, of
Maine, objects to the reduction on woolens
made by the bill, and thinks it will be
greatly changed by amendments. He
thinks it viii be opposed by nearly all the
Republicans
Opposition to the bill will come from the
Pennsylvania, New Jersey, Louisiana,
South Carolina, Ohio and Georgia delega-
tions, as the interests OF their States are al
fected. The opposition is not, however, so
general nor SO well organized as the oppo-
sition to the last tariff BILL

WHILE the news from Europe may not
indicate immediate war, 1t certainly looks
threatening. The remarks Of the official
paper Of Austria on the situation are Gig.
nifCant Austria is commencing 10 feel
The pressure Of the Bulgarian situation.
She interprets the presence Of a large
mass Of Russian troops close to her Dor.
ders as menace, which menace, 1t seems,
isall the more significant because Of the
fact that she herself has established q
rival camp OF soldiers almost within sight
Of this Russian demonstration. Mean
while, England Is expediting extensive
naval preparations, working night and
day, and tho tone Of the leading papers Is
indicative Of decided uneasiness.
There Is no mistaklnG the animus Of
Russia in all this Bulgarian business.
She moans to hold the pressure she has
already applied on Bulgaria and derive
from 1t a concession that will give her the
key to Oonstantinople through the Balkan
range Of mountains. This unmistakable
intention Is full Of peril to the peace Of
Europe. Neither Austria nor England
can afford to stand by and aCquiesce in
this programme. 1t means the overawing
Of both these powers by Russia and must
produce friction II persisted in that will
end in great war.
AT the time OF the difficulties, over q
year ago, between Russia and England, on
the Afghan frontier, II was predicted then
by far seeing statesmen In Europe that
that movement on the part Of Russia was
only teint to cover the development OF
the scheme that Is now unfolding on the
Bulgarian confines. II was 10 further this
scheme in the Balkan range that Russia
pushed forward a railroad from the Gas.
plan Sea In the far East to the Afghan
frontier. She expects to menace England
in both directions, In India and In
Turkey. Even the antaSonlSm Of Austria
does not prevent her hostile attitude. Ap.
parently she feels strong enough to cope
with both powers Il France will only hold
Germany out oil the difficulty. That
France sympathlSeS with Russia there
can be no doubt, and that Germany will
not dare to move to preventive conVum'
nation Of RuSsia's programme II France
is friendly to II, is scarcely debatable.
