CHANGES OF wooLeN DUTIES.
Democrats ON Ways and Means Commit
tee Preparing New Tariff.

w
tee Preparing New Tariff.
WARRINGTON, Feb. 1.-THE wool and
voolens special committee of the Demo-
cratic minority of the House committee on
ways and means have agreed upon the
changes in duties on wool and woolens
which they will recommend and a con-
ference OF the Democratic members of the
committee considered the matter this
morning. AS the special committee
numbers five out OF the 10 Democratic
members OF the Ways and Means COM
mittee IL is believed that the agreement
reached embodies the provisions of the
free wool bill which the Ways and Means
committee will recommend TO the House
for passage.
The advalorem duties on wooden man
ufactures OF all kinds, including cloths,
dress goods, carpets and all other woolen
articles imposed under the Mckinley law,
and which rates were left unchanged by
the Springer bill, have been cut down
wherever an excess OF 40 per cent. and
the average rate OF duty imposed by the
new bill on woolen manufacturs is about
b per cent. below the Uniform rate of 40
per cent fixed by the Mills bill.
Under the agreement reached, wool is
made free as proposed by the Springer
bill, all duties on wooden manufactures
where 40 per cent. or less undev the pres
ent law are left unchanged; where more
than 40 per cent. they are reduced to that
rate, 80 that the wooden duties will be
higher than the Mills rate, and those on
the cheaper grades of goods will be
less.
Under the Mckinley law, duties range
from 30 to 60 per cent. so that there is
reduction OF 20 per cent. made from the
highest rate now imposed, and the aver
age rate Is brought down about 80 per cent.
On shoddies and waste the agreement
adopts the Springer rate of 30 per cent.
against present rate of 80 cents per
pound, which in some cases amounts to
100 per cent. ad valorem. All compensa-
tory duties taken off, az raw wool, - made
free, so that the present per pound and
per yard duties will be abolished il the
bill becomes law and only ad valorem
duties retained.
Members OF the committee say that the
wool bill will be the principal measure
reported from the committee and that on
the wool schedule, regarded by all tariff
reformers as the key to the protective tar
ia system, reductions are made greater
than those proposed by the Democrats
two years ago. They think the new bill
may have fair shown OF passing through
the Senate and OF becoming law.

Sun si,ot and storm.

The news Of an enormous sun spot visi-
BILE to the naked eye, which was telegraph
ed from Lick Observatory yesterday, will,
il is safe TO say, arouse ten times rs much
interest as was possible as many years
ago The principal reason of this interest
is the supposed connection between sun
spots and storms-the larger the spot the
worse the storm-so the theory goes The
New York Herald has long advocated
this theory. Prof. Hazen is q believer in
the electrical theory as regards storms,
also one of the Canadian weather proph-
cts. If the theory is true, with the APP
pearance of the sun spot should come the
simultaneous bursting forth of severe and
destructive storms.
