EFFECTS OF THE TARIFF.
THE SENATE AND HOUSE BILLS
COMPARED.

Three Hundred Changes Made in the
Mckinley Bill by the Senate Finance
Committee-The Duties Under the
House Bill Estimated at $2o6, ,344,-
o77, and Under the Senate Bill at
S2O1, ,689, ,9O7.
WASHINGTON, June ga statement of
the effect upon the customs receipts of the
provisions of the tariff bill as reported by
the Senate finance committee has been COM
pleted, and, together with the reasons of
the committee for recommending its pro-
posed change in the bill as it passed the
House, will probably be submitted to the
Senate tomorrow. Counting each para
graph stricken out of the Senate bill as a
change, there was just 800 changes made by
the senate finance committee. The reasons
given generally are brief. and consist Of a
statement that the rate proposed is believed
to afford sufficient protection. There
are exceptions, of course, in cases of
changes of Importance, where the
motives that actuate the committee are
given at some length.
ACCOMPANIED BY TABLES.
The tables accompanying the statement,
showing the estimated revenues under the
proposed rates, together with the compari-
sons with the existing rates and those pro-
posed in the House.b bill, were prepared by
Mr.. Evans, a treasury expert. and Mr..
Durfee, the finance committees clerk.
These show that the amount of duties col
lected in 1889 upon the Importation of all arti-
cles made dutiable i'll the House bill and the
amendments proposed by the Senate, assessed
under the existing law was $161, ,40S, SAG.
The duties estimated under the House bill
amount to S206. .S44, ,977; and under the bill
as amended by the Senate to S201, ,6S9, ,907.
The equivalent ad valorem rate under the
House bill is 81. 80 per cent, and under the
Senate bill 5l.97 per cent.
The reduction of revenue by the transfer
of articles to the free list in the House bill,
including SIC, ,327, ,S7S reduction of internal
revenue taxes which is stricken out by the
Senate finance committee, is estimated at
81, ,064,7 by the transfer of articles to
the free list in the Senate bill the reduction
of the revenue is estimated at S60, ,599, ,343.
INACCURACY ACKNOWLEDGED.
A foot note to the recapitulation says:
These tables are prepared upon the plan and
theory usually followed; the estimates are
largely conjectural and more or less unre-
liable and misleading. They are based upon
the assumption that if the bill should be-
come a law, merchandise of like quantities
and values would be imported as
was imported during the fiscal
year 1889. This basis can only
be accepted as reliable whore the changes
in rates are not of such a character as to
necessarily cause increased or diminished
importations. The reduction given alone
of ST., ,064, TIA by the House bill and $780,
$50, 443 by the Senate bill appears to be GER
tain, but if the imports should be the same
as last year under the new rates the reduc-
tion would amount under the House bill tc
S26, 12S. .642, and under the Senate bill &c

PRESIDENT AND PREMIER.
Harrison Emphasizing His Difference
With blaine.

Harrison Emphasizing His Difference
With blaine.
WASHINGTON, June 22.-President Har-
rison is very anxious to have it understood
that he is not opposed to the Mckinley bill.
He has taken pains to assure Mr.. Mckinley
himself that this is the case. He is also
anxious to have it understood that he is not
in favor of Secretary Blaine's reciprocity
policy In transmitting Secretary Blaines
report on the pan-American conference re-
ciprocity recommendation on Friday, Presi-
dent Harrison was very careful not to say
anything commencing Secretary Blaine's
policy. President Harrison explained that
he sent in the Blaine report because it was
one of the results of the pan-American con-
ference, a report on that subject being con-
templated by the act providing for the
conference.
WHY HE DIFFERS.
The President sees that Secretary Blaine's
course leads toward greater freedom of
trade and away from prohibitory tariff.
and he thinks il is in SO far more democratic
than republican. Then, too. his dread of
being thought to be in any way controlled
by Secretary Blaine's opinions makes him
anxious to have his difference with Secre-
tary Blaine on the tariff question empha-
sized. Secretary Blaine stands by his op-
position to the sugar and wool schedules OF
the Mckinley bill as expressed in his re-
Gently published letters, because they pre-
vent reciprocity with South America, but
says that what he said about the bill in the
subcommittee of the Senate committee on
appropriations last week was jocular, and
was not intended to be taken seriously.

THEIR LAST CONCERTS.
Poor Marios Fiasco at Boston and Signor
Bottcsini's Pathetic Failure.

Poor Mario's Fiasco at Boston and Signor
BOttcsni's Pathetic Failure.
One of the most pathetic of sights was
that seen in the Boston Music Hall at
the last concert given by Mario, the
once famous tenor. He was poor, and
the hall was filed with persons who had
been ardent admirers of his wonderful
art, and now that he had lost his art
were willing to put money in his purse.
The tenor tried one of his great songs,
but his decayed voice refused to sing the
notes. Again he tried, and again he
failed. Then, with a sad smile and a
slow, mournful movement of his head,
he suffered the orchestra to play through
the air, and retired from the stage amid
the silence of the pitying audience.
Another pathetic story is told of Bot
tesini, famous violinist, concerning
his late concert at Parma:
1t was rainy evening, and the man
ayers had forgotten to send carriage
for the veteran, who set out On foot, and
had gone some distance before passing
friend perceived him and made him
enter his carriage.
Arrived at the concert-room, Bottesini
tuned his instrument and began to rub
mis- bow with rosin. The rosin crumbled
in his hands, and turning to his friends
with half-sad smile, he said, "See, it
is so that Bottesini, too, will break up"
Then he grasped his loved instrument
and drew the bow across tho strings,
but instantly stopped with a wondering
look, for he felt something strange in
the tone; his touch was answered less

The Latest Fad In Tables.

The very latest in the world of en- ter.
tanning is the triangle-shaped dining
table. 1t is accomplished by placing
three small tables in the required form,
and is very cozy, as well as a graceful,
arrangement. Sometimes the flowers,
always low plateaus, ornamenting the
several branches, differ in variety. At
recent Gotham dinner, however, all
violets prevailed. The center of tho
triangle was filled with Parma violets,
massed in cluster of ferns. Against
table-cloth of pale-pink silk, underly-
ing another of elaborate open-work
damask, the effect was charming. Each
place was marked by tiny, gilded bas-
ket, tied with pink ribbon and filled
with violets. At these novol-shaped
tables the host is seated at the point of
the triangle, the two most distinguished
lady guests on either side of him. Tho
hostess occupies the center of the base
of the triangle with the men guests OF
honor by her side. The great advantage
of table of this form is that every one
faces the host and hostess, and there Is
a compactness about the arrangement
that makes conversation easy and gen
oral.-Louisyille Courier Journal.

never diminishing, even in the dry. In
one of the mountain Businesses a negro
pointed out to me such gloomy pool,

it was the habitation of some monstrous

He told me that nobody dared even go
near the margin, for "Croomie" would
catch him and pull him under. could
gather nothing from him but the bare
facts, for when pressed him for further
detail concerning "Croomie's" character

himself into the she'll of non-comprehen-
