THE TARIFF BILL.
The Senate Committee Doesn't
Agree With the House,
And Makes Just Three Hun
dred Changes In 1t.

Considering All Things 1t Slightly In
Notwithstanding That 1t Rejects the
Internal Revenue Reductions Made by
the Lower House.
WASHINGTON, June "a. The statement
of the effects upon customs receipts by
the provisions Of the tariff bill, as re-
ported by the senate finance committee,
has been completed, with the reasons of
the committee for recommending its
proposed changes in the bill as it passed
the house.
Counting each paragraph stricken out
of the house bill as change, there were
just 800 changes made by the senate
finance committee. The reasons given
are brief, and consist Of the statement
that the rate proposed is believed to af-
ford sufficient protection. There are
exceptions, of course, in the cases of
changes of Importance, where the mo-
tives that actuated the committee are
given at some length.
The tables accompanying the state
ment. showing the estimated revenues
under the proposed rates, together with
comparisons with existing rates and
those proposed in the house bill, was
prepared by Mr.. Evans, the treasury ex-
pert, and Mr.. Durfee, the committees
clerk. These show that the amount of
duties collected in 1889 upon the import
alton of all articles made dutiable in
the house bill, and the amendments pro-
posed by the senate, assessed under the
existing law, was 1851 ,4O9, ,846. The
duties estimated under the house bill
amount to $500, $40, OFT; under the bill as
amended by the senate, $201, ,689, ,907.
The equivalent ad valorem rate under the
house bill is $3.50 per cent; under the
senate bill J1.97 per cent.
The reduction of revenue by the trans
fer of articles to the free list in the
house bill (including $40, ,327, ,S78 reduc-
ton of internal revenue taxes, stricken
out by the senate finance committee) is
estimated at $71 ,064, TIA; by transfer of
articles to free list in the senate bill the
reduction of revenue is estimated at
500, ,599, ,343.
A foot-note to the recapitulation says:
"These tables are prepared upon the
plan and theory usually followed; the
estimates are conjectural and more or
less unreliable and misleading. They
are based upon the assumption that if
the bill should become law merchan-
disc of like quantity and values would
be imported as was imported during the
fiscal year 1889. This basis can only be
accepted as reliable where changes in
rates are not of such character as to
necessarily cause increased or dimin-
ished importation. The reduction above
given ct $sl Ql4. 174 by the house bill.
and $6O,599, 943 by the senate bin. APP
pears to be certain, but if the imports
129,54s; under the senate to $20,318,-
283."

tween some drunken negroes and several
white men Oh board an east Tennessee

STILL DIGGING.
The Entombed Miners at Dunbar Noe
Yet Reached.

Yet Reached.
PITTeBURG, June "a. The following
was received from Dunbar Sunday
night:
The rescuing party have not yet
reached the entombed miners. They
are working hard, but no one knows
how far they have to go yet, and they
are as much in the dark now as at any
time. They may reach the men in o
few hours, and it may be days before
the Hill Farm mine Is broken into.
Hope has given way to despair
1t is now seven days since the disas-
ter, and few, if any, expect to find the
men alive To-day crowds visited the
scene of the disaster from all the SUR
rounding country, and at one time fully
5000 people were present. This even
ing an appeal for aid was sent out. The
miners families are in destitute circum-
stances and contributions win be thank
fully received.
Mining engineers this afternoon COM
pleted another survey of the Mahoning
mines. They say that the rescuers
are on the right track, and it is
believed the entombed miners will be
reached within twelve hours. The
delay was caused by immense rock inn
mediately on the line. Beyond this
line it is believed that passageway Of
seventy feet in length will be found,
and 1t will require but short time to
work through this passage.
Hope Almost Abandoned.
The following was received Monday
afternoon:
Exactly one week has passed since the
explosion occurred in the Hill Farm
mine of the Dunbar Furnace company.
The hope that any Of the imprisoned
men are yet alive is now almost aban-
doned. The work of digging into the
wrecked mine goes bravely on, but no
one can tell with any certainty when the
dividing wall will be penetrated.
Owing to heavy fall OF slate but lit
tie progress was made during last night.
The hard rock has been passed and the
men are again working in coal, and
progress to-day is much faster. No one
can predict what the next hour may
bring forth,

lyn, Monday morning was blown to
pieces by the explosion of the boiler and

ed the fire and after an examination

hunks to await the arrival of the en-
gineer, Matthew Coughlin.

badly lacerated, and was picked up BY
a passing tug. Then, according to his
own statement, he learned, for the first
time, that the tug hed blown up. The
boat, which was considered a staunch
one and frstolass in every particular,
was wholly wrecked, nothing but few
fragments being found floating on the
waters.
The force of the explosion was SO great
that it stove hole in barge which was
being docked alongside of it. The barge
went to the bottom.

sured.
The victims Of the explosion were Cap
tain Squires, the two fireman and the

found upon the deck of a schooner living
on neighboring dock, and the body Of

with the wrecked hull of the unfortun-
ate craft. The engineer, Matthew
Coughlin had a narrow escape. He
was just coming down the dock on his
way to the tug when the explosion oc-
