The Revised Bill Submitted to the
Full Committee Today.
NO VERY IMPORTANT CHANGES,
fhe Duty on Tin Plate is the Most I'm
portant Alts sration-thanges In Lead.
Complete Recasting OF Cotton Yarn
scheduies-Carpet Tariff Changed.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 1.-THE Democratic
members OF the ways and means commit
tee, having finally perfected their draft of
the customs bill, placed it before the full
committee at its meeting at IL O'Clock
this morning, at which time the changes
made since the first publication OF the
bill were made public. None Of. the
changes made in the rates of duty i'm
posed is of great importance.
One of the most important Is that
whereby the duty on tin plate is changed
from ad valorem duty OF 40 per cent. TO
a specific duty of 1-l0 cents per pound,
which is about equivalent TO the al va.
loren rate, and is just one-half the duty
under the Mckinley bill. This new duty,
as has been stated heretofore, is to go
into effect on Oct. / next, so as to make
the change come at the close OF a canning
season. The duty on pearl buttons has
been changed from 40 per cent. ad valor-
em, but 1t has not been restored,
as has been enormously stated, to
cents per line, button measure, per gross,
and twenty-five per cent. ad valoren. It
is less than half that rate, being one cent
line and 10 per cent. ad valorem.
Changes in the Lead Tariff
The lead schedule received attention
during the revision of the bill. Lead ore
and pig lead remain as in the first draft,
but lead in sheets, pipes, shot, glaziers'
lead and lead wire, have been increased
from cent TO la cents per pound.
This makes the duty on these articles
Just one half what it Is under the McKin-
ley law. On white lead the duty has been
increased from thirty per cent ad valorem
to one and one-h half cents per pound, this
being one-half the duty under the Nc
Kinley law.
There has been some rearrangement of
the carpet schedule. Certain of the finer
grades of carpets on which the first draft
of the bill imposed duty of 80 per cent.
ad valorem have been put inthe class taxed
at 35 per cent. The tax on the cheaper
grades of carpets has been Increased from
20 to 25 per cent. ad velorem.
There has been complete recasting OF
the cotton yarn schedule. This was one
OF the last things put into the bill, and
the committee did not attempt to perfect
it before the first draft OF the measure
was made public. The number OF classes
has been increased and the practical re-
suit is to increase the duties on some
grades and decrease it on others.
An important change In the free list is
the correction of an error by which the
free importation OF wearing apparel and
other personal effects was Limited to
ing from foreign countries The correc-
tion allows free entry OF such
articles in actual use of all
persons entering the United States.
The changes that have been made in the
administrative part OF the bin are mainly
such as have been suggested by the expert
ence of the board OF general appraisers
and by decisions OF the courts under the
old administrative act, and are intend ed
10 reduce litigation under Che new law.

DEAR SI2--As the recent vote OF the board OF

has caused considerable opposition, desire to know
IL they are 10 be issued that the road may be ex-
tended from its present western ter
minus at Scuthbridge to Springfield or

Thompson extension was contemplated, and at that
time was the city asked 10 guarantee f76o,ooo Of
bonds or considerably less TO cover the cost Of
that extension, the full amount with the under

In guaranteeing $3.50, 900 worth Of bonds
OF the Springfield railroad the board Of
aldermen did not consider that the road
would be extended to Palmer or SPRING
field, Mass, the hope of the organization,
when it vas first planned years
ago. The railroad, on receiving this big
guarantee, did not contemplate extending
the road beyond its present terminus at
Douglas junction. 1t may be the plan to
build the road bed to Springfield some
time, but no surety OF it comes from head

"Y0icE IN SPEAKING.
Lecture by Mrs. John failey u. fore tho
Providence Art Club.

hrosiuehce hrt VIM.
Mrs. John Bailey gave her second lec-
ture before the Providence Art club this
afternoon on the "Voice in Speaking"
Mrs. Bailey's lectures are srousing much
interest in the subject of physical culture
for women at this time when SO much is
besng said On the improvement of women,
physically rs well as mentally.
Mrs. Bailey said that a perfect voice
should be placed at the height OF physical
culture. A perfect voice can only be
and Sep pose 0S uppder pdse'' correct SteaIShs poss
muSt come the training OF all
the muscles OF the body, establishing
harmonious poise and training OF the
voice. The expression OF the voice indi-
Gates largely the culture OF the person,
either by nature or. art. The higher
oa'' Of life pfh1P,e haPpe the ra@%t GEar'e'ei Of
expression, much more notable than
those OF the lower class. A voice without
unsatisfactory. A voice should be
sympathetic, noble, calm, and, whether
loud or low, should give the impression OF
reserved power back OF it. Voices with
nerve, muscle, and bone in them not only
tire the auditor but the possesser,
though we are not conscious wSiy.. The
ear is the most exacting organ OF the
body. Some writer said cit is
only by language that we rise
above the lower animals" The highest
result is literature, the placing OF words.
Some feel that the French or Italian is the
most musical on account OF the
number OF tonics. The tonics
give music to the voice, the substances
strength and richness. From earliest
youth children should be trained TO sweet,
pleasant voices, and this by example, for
they early initiate those with whom they
come in contact. The culture OF tho
voice is essential because H-has
a direct bearing on the structural organs
OF the body. The ordinary throat
is fiat ana hoarse; the tone Is
fiat and unmusical. BY training
the throat rounds and opens the tone TO
the same. In this, as in everything else,
relaxation counts, then just enough force
and TO more.
Mrs. Bailey exemplifled the different
tones and showed the difference OF people
in speaking. The next lecture comes on
Wednesday afternoon, when the subject
Of "Dress" will bo discussed.

at 2 p. m. this afternoon. II they decide
to go TO work then the other departments
are expected TO follow. The voting at the
National was SO close on Saturday that it
may be reversed today. The meeting is
likely to be long and animated one, as
some OF the weavers are very anxious TO go
to work and will fight hard to carry their
resolution.
