that a celestial was here and
proposed to open shop crowd

Ience being done by promptly arresting tho
Mongoiian and taking him to tho depot.
The officer advised him to leave on the first
freight and left him At the depot. TO the
surprise Of everybody the Chinaman did
not 90. He loitered around the depot until
after dark, when he oame back and had tho
audacty to go into a small shop on Second
street and offer the proprietor $50 for his
lease of the same. IT is hardly necessary
to relate that his offer was promptly re-
fused.
When 1t became noised around that he
was still here an indignation meeting was
take steps to compel him TO leave. The
meeting was held in Arion hall at nine this
evening and was largely attended by repre-
sentatives of every Union in the city. II
was unanimously in favor OF forcing him to
leave at once. All agreed that there should
bs no violence il the hated celestial ex-
pressed willingness to go, otherwise he
would have to suffer tho consequences.
While the meeting was in session some
one brought in word that the Chinaman
had been arrested and was in jail. Upon
receipt of this intelligence tho
meeting broke up and everybody
started for tho Jail. The crowd grew rapidly
as it moved towards the jail and when that
place was reached there were over 800 in
the thronR A committee from the labor
unions waited on Sergeant Moran. at the
jail, and asked whether the Chinaman was
inside, and il SO whether he would be taken
to the depot tomorrow and put aboard the
first outgoing train. The officer said the
Chinaman was in jail and would be put
aboard the train tomorrow. The crowd
gave three cheers for Moran and then dis
persed as rapidly az it had gathered to-
gether. The best of order prevailed and
everybody in Great Falls is glad the affair
did not terminate as seriously a. was once
feared.
About midnight the Chinaman was re-
leased at his request, and as he could not
be legally held three officers accompanied
him to West Great Falls. where they turned
him loose. He was badly scared and when
last seen was walking rapidly towards Ulm.
He came from Utah. When searched at the
Jail he had only S11 on his person.

Secretary Carlisle Will Give the
Subject Much Thought Dur
ing the Summer
and Statistics Com
ing to Him in Every Sue
ceeding Mail.
Experts Alrendy at Work Estimating the
Receipts Under Bill Similar to Ed
ward Atkinson'S.

WASHINGTON. March 23.-Secretary Car.
Isle, it is stated on good authority. intends
to give such Of his time this summer to the
consider alton of the tariff, with q view to so
thoroughly familiarizing himself with the
subject as to indicate, in general way, the
outlines for the formation of tariff bill
by the next democratio housc. Nearly
every mail that reaches the treasury de-
partment contains suggestions from statis-
ticians and others rs to the compilation
of tariff bill. Some thirty or forty Of
these communications have been already
received. prominent among them being
that from the New York Reform club.
The general outline of the New York Re
form club tariff proposition corresponds
closely to the proposition submitted in
1885. by Edward Atkinson, OF Boston.
Mass, to President Cleveland and Secre-
tary Manning. This proposition divided
the tariff as follows:
(A.) Articles, food and animals.
OBJ Articles in crude condition which
enter into the various processes Of domestic
industry.
tC.) Articles wholly or partially manu-
faotured for use as materials in manufac-
lures and the mechanic arts.
CD Articles manufactured, ready for
consumption.
(E.) Articles Of voluntary use, luxuries,
etc.
Since that time the annual report of the
bureau of statistics contained table show.
ing the duty collected on each of these
classes of articles. From the report OF
1882 it appears that $173. O07, 60 in duty was
collected. of which $40. 800 226 was collected
under GLASS A. s14,048. 42S under class B
$22,21S. 412 under class G, $76,627, S08 under
class d. and $40. 702. .796 under class f..
The treasury experts assert that the pro-
position of the New York Reform clut
places articles in class A and b wholly or
the free list, while many of the articles in
GLASS G are also placed on the free list. II
this statement ia correct the revenue de-
rived from customs would be decreased by
addition to the free list Of articles nov
paying duty to the amount of $24, 348, 750
but might he inoIeased to some extent by
increased importations of articles under
class G, on which duty is reduced. They
figure. however that on the present basis OF
receipts and expenditure, the proposed
changes would result in an annual def
ciency.
