the commission has no documentary

but there has been systematic disre-
gard Of order and regularity in the
action of the government towards the

TACOMA, WASH, Nov. 23.-Franklin

administration, received today a letter
from a prominent official in Washing
ton, d. c.. regarding the Hawaiian pol
icy of the administration. The letter
says: "You need not fear the admins
tration's Hawaiian policy. AS soon as
it becomes known it will commend
itself to all sensible Americans. Sec
retary Gresham's letter did not
give the slightest hint at the
real policy of the administration,
which is not only to re.enthrone
the queen, but to supplement that ac-
ton by establishing new relationship
with the islands. Our position is that
in negotiating with the provisional gov
eminent we would be negotiating with
government established by the United
States. The queen will be restored not
only that justice may be done, but that
we may have proper and regularly es-
tablished government with which to
deal in carrying on subsequent negotia-
tions for which Minister Willis has au-
thority. The queen will be restored
under such circumstances and condi-
tions as will make it an easy matter for

Chinese Women In San Francisco.

An enterprising man who has been in
vestigating feminine Chinese life in San
Francisco has become almost as enthusi-
astic over it as Sir Edwin Arnold over
japanese women. According to the
San Franciscan the Chinese women lead
charming life.
Their morning duty is to trim and at
tend to the lamps that burn before the
household shrines. AT 10 o'clock they
have breakfast. Then they attend to a
few domestic duties. Then they en-
broider or paint porcelain. They visit
at one another's houses, gossip, play
checkers, dominos and cards; smoke,
sing ballads, tell stories and play the
flute. In the evening, the chronicler of
Chinese customs maintains, happy
family circle gathers about and listens
to the husband or son read from book
Of fairy tales, all of which the Chinese
women implicitly believe. 1t would
really seem that they lead fairly en-
durable life, although they are not al

Should Married Women Teache

The question comes to us from over
the ocean, "Should married women
teach?" Well, should married women
preach? Should they work, sew, laugh,
walk or do anything anybody else does?
It takes long time to get the idea out
of the minds of the people that mar
ried woman has no right to step outside
the threshold of her own home. Let the
question be settled at home. II wom-
an can teach, and both husband and
wife are agreed that she may teach, why
shouldn't she teach?
In many respects a married woman is
better fitted to teach than an unmarried
woman. The general law made by some
cities that no married woman can be
employed in schools is unjust There
are many such married persons whom
to remove from the schools would be a
misfortune Boston. Herald.

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
A SYNOPSIS OF THE PROPOSED
MEASURE.
Nearly Ali Raw Materials on the Free
List-The Duty on Oranges and
Lemons Unchanged-Sugar
to BE Taxed.

New YORK, Nov. 23.-The Herald's
Washington correspondent claims to
give an accurate outline of the new
tariff bill so far as determined. These
are the most salient points of reform:
The free list is to include nearly all
raw and crude materials which enter
into manufactured products. Wool,
hair of camel and goat, bituminous
coal, iron oar, lumber, salt, silver. lead
ore, fax, hemp and jute and large
number OF chemicals will all be free.
Steel rails will probably be put at IS
or SO a ton. Pig iron will be put at 5
per cent ad valorem, and bar iron will
be reduced at least 80 per cent.
Tin plate will be charged one cent
pound. Block tin and copper ore are on
the free list.
There will be a uniform ad valorem
dnty upon finished manufactures of
wood, but logs are free.
The committee believe a reduction OF
5 or 10 per cent on silk duties will yield
as much revenue as now.
Woo, goods follow the rates OF the
Springer bill, but eome cheaper goods,
especially cloth. will be put in separate
class at 80 per cent. Ali manufactures
OF cotton are 40 per cent. This includes
hosiery. Manufactures of fax, hemp
and jute will be greatly reduced.
In view OF placing raw materials on
the free list, binding twine is likely to
be- made free. The high duties on
agricultural products will be merclessly
slaughtered.
The duty is retained on lemons and
oranges, but several other fruits go upon
the free list.
The wrapper tobacco duty will be re-
duced to 81 or $1.50 pound when un-
stemmed; 50 cents more pound when
stemmed.
An ad velorem rate OF 25 per cent will
be charged on all grades OF sugar, al.
though this question is still open.
There is no increase on beer, tobacco
or cigare, but on whisky.
The proposed duty on sugar will bring
in about SIC, 900 600. and it is thought
$50, 600, 900 or $40 100000 will be re-
ceived from the increased tax on whisky
and from the income tax.

Greshsm's theory is that the provisional
government OF Hawaii comes to an end
with the notification from this govern
ment that annexation with the United
States is denied, the government having

Thurston no longer holds any diplomatic
