gineers on the Reading road to strike in

sidered serious as it was probable the
troubles would Involve other roads.

Mr.. Mills Interviewed on the Effects OF
the Tariff Bill.

WASHINGTON, March I'm an inter
view with representative OF the Unlted
Press on the Tar fl bill, which was SUBJ
mitted to the ways and means committee
Yesterday morning, Mr.. Mills sad: 10
begin with, let US glance at the Tree IlsI'
There are two or three hundred articles
on which the duty is to be removed. A
large number of these articles thus placed
on the free list are of minor Importance,
and the effect can in no wise affect our
industries, and where a country charges
an import duty upon any OF the articles
named, the present duty will remain. The
principal item is lumber, and as to some
of the articles placed on the free list, the
result will he to break up Few
of the numerous trusts now form
ing in the country. The total amount
of reduction that will arise from
the extension of the free list will lbe
something like so, 900, 900. The reduction
on wool and wool en- goods will amount to
about S12, ,O0O,O O0}. On sugar a reduction
is made of about ST. coo, 900. One result of
this will be TO break up the infamous
sugar trusts that have formed for the pur-
pose of increasing the price of that article.
The reducti ion on iron and steel ralls' etc.,
are small, and think the importation OF
such articles will not be materially lh-
creased. On imported tobacco, in leaf'
manufactured and not stemmed, we nave
fixed the duty at ffty-Gve cents per
pound. Sumatra is included.
ave have purposely left the internal
revenue question outside and will bring
in a separate measure for that We in
tend to have a bill on that subject IL
NAV be appended in the House to the
general bill, but that l am unable TO say
inst now. The customs duties will be re-
dnced about So, 900, 900, and in such way
that the manufacturing industries or the
country will have no cause for needless
alarm.
1.-THE bill reduces the revenue by the
closest est mate which can now be made
nv about $50, 900, 600, of which 81 2,5OJOOO
come from extension of the free list; Sl2,-
10000 from woolens; Sl,0OO,OOO from
sugar; 81 800 900 from earthen and glass
ware; nearly $1,000 000 from metals;
nearly $4,000 from chemicals; $0OO,0OO
from provisions; $3.50, 600 from cottons;
nearly 5000, 600 from hemp, jute, ETC.,
and about $40, ,000 900 from sundries."
The following additional expressions
vere gathered from members of the ways
and means committee:
Mr., Mills-Wo believe we have COM
piled a bill which nobody dare deteat. III

| pie. - :,

A Memory which shows Her Majesty

IRON "IFrancois Liszi.n By 3. P. ward-I

From "'Frsncois Lsz,." by B. p. wardI
The whole court assembled at the
chateau of X-Q forgot the name),
not far from Bonn There were also
great number OF illustrious guests, and
List, together with several celebrated
artists, had promised TO help at the con-
cert to be given in the evening. The
Queen Of England, with her husband,
Prince Albert, was also at the castle
but from what the courtiers said, "the
most sympathetic sovereign in Eu-
rope" as the master called her,
was not at all in a pleasant tenn
per. IL is we'll known how passion
ately she loved her husband and how
she never could get used to the inferior
rank OF her adored consort when the in
fexibility of court etiquette compelled
her to notice it. She suffered dreadfully
at it, and, being young and passionate,
she was quite unable to hide her
grievance. On this occasion also fate
had played her sorry trick when it
brought on to the scenes an Austrian
Archduke. OF course he took prece-
dence TO Prince Albert, and this irritated
the young woman TO such an extent that
1t spoilt the whole entertainment for her.
She abused the ladies in waiting, she
got an "attsck Of nerves." and took
gloomy view Of everything.
The evening came and the concert
began. Queen Victoria arrived rather
late, and did not appear to be herself at
all. List was to play an Introduce
tion," but he had hardly seated himself
at the piano before the Queen com
planned of the heat, at which chamber
lam ran to open a window. In about
two minutes the Queen found the
draught insupportable. Then the cham
berlain hurried off again and shut the
widow. This produced a hustle and a
going to and fro capable Of running the
effect Of the finest performance in the
world. When the Introduction was
finished the master, instead of playing
the piece itself, got up, made
a bow and went out into the park to
smoke cigar. When, half an hour
afterward, he came back to the hall
King Frederick William got up from his
place and said to him: lyon ran away
Just now. What was the matter ?" Il
was afraid" replied List, "of disturb
ing her Majesty Queen Victoria while
she was giving her orders" The
King laughed heartily, and begged him
to continue his programme, which he
did in the midst of respectable silence,
Queen Victoria having left the hall
shortly after his disappearance.
