CARLISLE HAS A PLAN.
Earnest Preparations Making to
Tinker the Tariff.
There Are Plenty of Volunteers, but
the Secretary Has Some Ideas
of His Own.
Special to THE MORNING CALL

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Secretary Car
lisle it is stated on good authority, intends
to give much of his time this summer to
consideration of the tariff with view of
so thoroughly familiarizing himself with the
subject as 10 indicate in a general way the
outlines for the formation Of tariff bill by
the next Democratic House. Nearly every
mail that reaches the Treasury Department
contains sugges tons from statisticians and
others as 10 the compilation of n tariff bill.
Some thirty or forty of these communica-
tiOns have already been received, prominent
among them being that from the New York
Reform Club. The general outline of the
New York Reform Clubs tariff proposition
corresponds closely TO the propositions sub
mtted in 1885 by Edward Atkinson of Bos-
ton, Mass, to President Cleveland aud
Secretary Manning. This proposition di-
Vided the tariff as follows: (A) Articles of
food and animals; (B) articles in crude con-
dtiOu which enter into the various pro-
ceSses of domestic industry; (C articles
wholly or partially manufactured for use as
materials in the manufactures and the lne
chaHieal arts; ID articles manufactured aud
ready for consum Dtlon; (E) articles Of vol
untary use, Injuries, etc.
Since that time the annual report of the
DuIedu Oi oldllSllCS has contained Z laBte
showing the duty collected upon each Of
these classes of articles. From the report
for 1892 it appears that Sl73.O07, go of duty
was collected. of which $40 500, 226 was COL
lected under class a, S14, 04S, 42S under class
B, so, ,21S,412 under class c, S76,G27, sos un-
der class d and S49, 7O2. .796 under class f.
Treasury experts assert that the PROPOSE
tion of the New York Reform Club places
articles of classes A and B wholly on the
free list. If this statement is correct the
revenue derived from customs would be de-
creased by the addition to the free list Of
articles now paving duty 10 the annual
amount of S24 34S,75O. but might be in
creased to some extent by the increased i'm
portations OF articles under class c, on
which the duty is reduced They figure.
however, that on the present basis OF re-
ceipts and expenditures the proposed
charges would result in an annual def
cheney.

two of the Parlsan journal worked for my

were. Emile Abeile's brother, Coco, pro-
duced forged letters saying that intended
to murder him as soon as got out OF prison.

France with that Coco, but Deputies who
were friends of niue dissuaded me. The
Abeilles are deeply Implicated in the PAN
ina scandals. Their great wealth, most of
It. came from Panama speculation and
bribes, and the Panama exposure saved me
from their vengeance. They would not
stop at anything. They even tried 10 bribe
the judges to convict me.

save my children from her influence aud
presence. All Of the American colony we're

bis father and to other members Of

We do not" he said. ''believe the sugar
bounty is going to last much longer and
nothing could be gained by annexation.
We can do more profitable business with
our contract labor than we could under the
laws OF the United States, and for That
reason we are opposed to a change, We
would much prefer that Hawaii remain a
kingdom and then we should know that our
business would not be interfered with. A
short time before the Queen was deposed
