THE FINISHING TOUCHES.
The Senate Subcommittee Near
Through With It's Tariff Bill.

The Senate Subcommittee Nearly
Through With It's Tariff Bill.
WASHINGTON, Sept. 6.-The tariff sub
committee is now putting the finishing
touches on its bill. The committee has
given audience to large number of wit.
nesses, and when its report is presented
1850 pages of printed testimony will ac-
company it. A revised print of the bill
has been made and was laid before the
subcommittee this morning. 1t shows
side by side the changes proposed by the
Mills bill, those by the Senate bill and the
duties assessed under the present law. It
shows that the duties on lumber and salt
have not been changed by the sub-coin-
mittee; that sugar is reduced 50 per cent,
and that the finer grades of wool are to
pay little more duty and that the in
capabilities which have arisen in the duties
on woolens have been corrected. There is
also a number of changes of a minor char
acter. 1t is estimated that the bill will re-
duce the revenue from $50, O00, 900 to S40,-
OO0, 600 on the customs duties and about
So, 000, COO on internal revenue.

man for Crane Bros. crawled into an iron
cylinder used for the piston of by draulic
elevator this morning for the purpose of
cleaning it, taking with him a lighted can
die and bucketful of benzine. In a short
time the cylinder was filed with infiam-
mable gas and an explosion followed, and
the man was enveloped in flames which
filled the entire cylinder. His fellow
workmen were attracted to the spot by his
cries, but owing to his situation it was inn
possible to help him, and enough water
could not be secured at once to quench the
flames, and his companions were forced to
stand helplsssly about and listen to his
cries till they were stil,ed in death.
