WASHINGTON, oct, s.-By an error
made by the committee, in preparing for
publication the additions to the free list
contained in the substitute tariff bill re-
ported by tho Senate committee on
finance, it was made to appear that opium
for smoking had been freed OF duty, Asa
matter OF fact, tho substitute bill expressly
prohibits the importation OF such opium.
The committee also desires TO have COR
rcctcd an impression which prevails to tho
effect that It has added eggs to the iree
list Eggs are made free of duty by exist
ing law, aud the substitute bill does not
change that provision, although the mat
ter is now under consideration, and un-
doubtcdly an amendment will be reported
from the committee imposing a tarlh on
eggs
