The remainder of the bill is made up en-
tirely of the leading features of the old
Hewitt administrative bill such as the sim
ilarity of the provisions intended 10 guard
against smuggling, the exempting of
theatrical scenery and ward robes
when intended for temporary use
in the United States, and tourists wearing
apparel. The clauses providing for the
taxation of cartons or coverings the section
intended TO prevent false invoices and
undervaluations and providing for the
punishment of persons found guilty of
these otftnses; the extension of ware
house pliglleges to theaters; the aboli-
ton of allowances for damages in ware
house; the abolition of all fees on entries
on imported goods, and the requirements
that invoices shall be submit ted to the
United States Cos liar officers before ex-
portation to the United States; the section
in relation to appeals in custom cases, and
limiting the time within which such cases
can be brought the bestowal of sole juris-
diction in the trial of suits against the
Uni ed States Collectors upon the United
States Circuit Courts, and the penalty
clause directed against attempted bribery
of customs officers. The latest estimates
made by the Committee on Ways and
Means of the probable reduction of rev.
enues that would be effected by the passage
of the bill are as follows Chemicals, $780,
600; china and glass, 81 100000; cottons,
1900; provisions, $500,0OO (approxi-
mate); woolen goods, Sl2 800 600; sundries,
SI,000000; paper, $250,000 sugars, $1l,-
100000; hemp. flax and jute, 81 100000;
metals, $1.5O0,O 900 approximately; free list,
500, ,250000. This would make reduction
of about $53 COO 900.
Chairman Mills said to-day that internal
revenue changes have been purposely ex-
cluded from the bill. The Democratic
members were still considering that SUBJ
j, ct, and 1t was not possible to say at this
time whether the reductions would result
in the presentation of another bill dealing
specially with internal revenue, or in the
inclusion of some provisions bearing upon
it in the present bill in other stages.
