FIGURING ON DUTIES.
Secretary Carlisle Intends Giving
Much Consideration to the
Tariff.
Many Suggestion From Stats
ticians and Others Being
Received Daily.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-Secretary
Carlisle, it is stated on good authority,
intends to give much of his time this
summer to the consideration of tire
tariff, with view to so thoroughly
familiariZe himself with the subject as
to Indicate in general way the out
ines for the formation of tariff
bill by the next Democratic house. He
i'll no sense intends to prepare bill in
detail to be submitted to the ways and
means committee of the next house, but
rather to be in position to give all the
assistance and information that they
may need in the preparation of a tariff
bill that will carry out in word and in
tent the spirit of the tariff plank in the
Democratic platform. Nearly every
mail that reaches the treasury depart
ment contains suggestions from statlsti-
clans and others as to the compilation of
a tariff bill. Some thirty or forty of
these communications have already
been received, among them that
from the New York Reform club.
The general outline Of the New York
Reform club tariff proposition cor
responds closely to proposition sub
Boston, Mass, to President Cleveland
and Secretary Manning. That PROPOSE
ton divided the tariff as follows: A..
Articles of food and animals. B. Arti-
Giles In crude condition which enter
into the varions processes of domestic
industry. c. Articles wholly or par
TALLY manufactured for use as materials
in the manufactures and mechanic arts.
ID. Articles manufactured ready for
consumption. E. Articles OF voluntary
use, Injuries, etc.
Since that time the annual report of
the bureau of statistics has contained
the table showing the duty collected on
each of these classes of articles. From
this report of 1892 it appears that Sl73,-
007670 duty was collected, of which
10000. 226 was collected under Glass A,
$14, 04S, 1928 under Glass B, $22, 21S. 412
under Glass G. SIC, 1927, sos under Glass ID,
and $40, 702, 100 under Glass E. Treasury
experts assert that the PROPOSE
ton Of the New York Reform
club places articles of Glass A aud
B wholly on the free list, while many
of the articles in Glass G are also placed
on the free list. If this statement be
correct, the revenue derived from GUS
toms would be decreased by the addi-
ton to the free list of articles now pay
ing duty to the annual amount of $24,-
34S 100, but might be increased to some
extent by the increased importatiOns of
articles under Glass c, on which the
duty is reduced. They figure, however,
that on the present basis of receipts
and expenditures, the proposed changes
would result i'll an annual deficiency.

SENATE ROUTINE.
Bills and Measures Considered at
Yesterdays Sitting.

Bills and Measures Considered at
Yesterdays Sitting.
Senator Stevens yesterday attempted
to have House File So, which was once
more reported by the Judiciary commit
tee, placed at the head of the calendar,
but the enemies of the measure were as
obdurate as ever, and it went to the foot
of the calendar.
Senator Probstfield's bill, providing
that no LIQUOR license shall be issued to
any one other than bona tide citizen
of the state, was passed under sus-
pension Of the rules.
Senator Mott finds the roads and
bridges committee in an especially en-
barrassing predicament. With the
basketful of appropriation bills now in
the hands of the committee, there is
only S39.6S in the internal improvement
fund, and that there are appropriations
amounting to $32, S37. He explained
that the government is now a year be-
hind in its remittanceS to the state
fund. When this is paid there
will still be a shortage of some
thing like $4,000, and the senator asked
for instructions. Senator McHale adj
vised indefinite postpODement of all
pending bills, but the matter was laid
over at the suggestion of Senator
Leavitt until today, so that concurrent
action OH the part of the house could be
secured.
Senator Lienau extended an invita-
ton to the senate upon the part of the
citizens of st. Paul to attend the mass
meeting at Market halAupon the coal
combine, and then Senator McMillan's
primary election bill came up for pas
sage.
Senator McMIllan's primary elections
bill that has been hanging fire so long
was passed by the senate yesterday
with comparatively little opposition,
and there is little doubt about Its kindly
treatment by the house.

FOR Pure PRIMARIES.
The House Recommends Mr..
Cairns Amended Bill
to Pass.
1t Will Apply Only to Cities
of 10000 Population
4 or Over.
Mr.. Bjorge's Bill to Abolish
E Capital Punishment Also
Favored.
Senator Craig's Swamp Land
Bill Now Goes to the
Governor.

Pure primaries and abolition Of
capital punishment! These two prop
ositions were Endorsed III the house
yesterday, and apparently by such a
safe vote that there is little question Of
the passage through the lower branch
of the legislature of the bills embodylng
them.
The primary elections bill recon-
mended for passage is the one intro
duced by Mr.. Cairns, OF Hennepin.
Representative Walsh, of Ramsey, in
the first days Of the session introduced
similar bill, but the Cairns measure
was pushed forward first. Its pro
visions, when radically amended, as
shown elsewhere, met with general
favor, and on the whole appears calcu-
lated to achieve the object aimed at. 1t
safeguards the conduct of the primaries,
and in no sense can it be considered a
party or partisan measure. Ii 1t shall
be placed on the statute books it ought
to work a commendable reform in the
conduct of caucuses.
Mr.. BjOrge'S bill to abolish capital
punishment has apparently a safe
majority in its favor. A similar bill
was beaten two years ago. but several
men who voted against it then now eX-
press themselves as entirely favorable.
1t will probably pass the house, but
there is doubt of its getting through the
senate

THE CALENDAR CLEANED.
Senator CrafG's Swamp Land Bill
Goes Through.

OOcS through
The calendar was taken up during the
morning hour, with three house bills
and two senate files to be disposed of.
they were passed as rapidly as they
could be read and the roll called. Fol-
lowing are the titles:
H. f. 173, by Mr.. Smith-To prevent
abandonment and vacation of railways
built wholly or in part by public aid ;
and providing that if any such road or
part thereof is so abandoned the money
contributed shall be paid back to the
people who subscribed the same.
II. F. 567. by Mr.. Undereak-To
amend General Laws relating to sale of
intoxicating liquors by allowing the
justice the option of imposing fine
''or" imprisonment for violation. The
law now reads fine and imprIsOn-
ment."
ii. F. 62O, by MIR. Manufacturing
regulations for the opening, working
and operating of mines, qualries, etc.,
in cases where title of the land appears
by the deeds TO be i'll plurality of per-
sons.
S. F. AZ, by Mr.. Craig-To compel the
selection of swamp lands by railroads
entitled thereto within two years from
this time.
While the last named bill was on its
passage many members explained their
votes against the bill. st ting with prac-
tical unanimity that they considered it
a clear discrimination against the Du-
luth ~ Iron Range railroad, which, ac-
cording TO statements made. must wait
the pleasure of other roads before IL can
make its selections. Mr.. jacobson took
decided exception to this view. Nearly
every man voting in the negative eX-
pressed himself as having been willing
to vote for the bill if it had been
amended to make the limit of time for
selection three years. The vote on the
bill is here given:

On motion OF Mr.. FurlOng 5. f. $40, to
repeal chapter l75, Special Laws 1855,
relating TO bridges in Mower county,
was read a second and third time and
passed.
A communication was read at the
close of the afternoon session from
Webb &. Hayes, acknowledging in fit
ting terms the receipt of the house reso
luton expressing sorrow on the death of
his father, the late ex-President Hayes.
Two bills were introduced and re =
ferred. They we're:
III. f. S4S. by Mr.. Leonard-To make
insurance policies issued by companies
not authorized to do business in this
state legal and binding as between the
insured and such companies. Commit
tee on Insurance.
Ii. f. $40, by Mr.. Wahlund To give
any person or persons lien upon logs
or lumber which from any cause come
upon their lands ard are allowed to re-
main on such lands for a period of ten
months. Committee on logs and lum-
Der.
The special committee to investigate
the private sale of certain piece OF
land in Mile Laos county held another
meeting yesterday, at which a COM
munication was read from the attorney
general expressing the opinion that the
sale had been regularly and legally
made. Members of the committee claim
this opinion was given OIL a mlsunder-
standing, and further hearing of wit
nesSes will be proceeded with today.
1t is expected that during today's SEES
sion report will be received from the
special committee to investigate the
matter of Judge BrilPs reprimand to
Representative Horton.
Mr.. Guttersen offered a resolution ten
dering the sympathy of the house tC
Representative Joseph Markham, who
has been called to Massachusetts by the
death of his brother. The resolution
was adOpted,

that the local elevators should be put
under the supervision of the commits
sion. The bill does not undertake TO
regulate the sale OF grain by the farRer:
il simply proposes to lay restrictions
about the buying of grain by the ele-
yators. The grain and warehouse com
mission cannot exercise supervision
over the local elevators unless a cOntrO-
versy arises with farmer.
Re Denied Ii.
lie denied that there had been par
tisan consultation upon the provisions
of the bill when il was drafted. lie
dwelt upon the virtues of the bill,and in
1t he say the Utopian relief that the
farmer had been groaning for for so
many sorry years. The bill had been
called party measure, and Senator
Tawney felt constrained to cOncede that
such sentiment was to the damage OF
the bill. In reply he demanded that the
bill be characterized as measure in the
interest of the people and not any polit-
ical organization.
Senator Leavitt made cutting reply.
He insisted that there was more politics
than merit in the bill. The most vicious
feature, he asserted, is the fact that the
private elevators may all be closed at
the option of the commission and in the
interest of the larger elevators,
Senator Peterson, the author, took the
floor to urge the passage of the bill. He
explained the incentive that had actu-
ated him in introducing the measure.
The object, he said, was to give relief
to the farmers and producers, and to
protect them against the conscience
less cupidity OF the buyers and the ele-
vator companies. Senator McHale
closed the argument against the bill III
powerful speech. and Senator 5: ID.
Peterson called the previous question.
When his name was reached upon the
roll call, Senator Craven explained his
vote in his usual forcible style. He
stated that he considered the measure
A Party Affair.
but, said he, that is not its worst feat
ure. He held that 1t is a railroad meas
ure. Then it became fashionable to eX-
| plain votes, and the roll call consumed
more time than, perhaps. any other that
| has been called upon the passage of a
bill. The bill passed by vote of rs
| ayes and % nays. as follows:

S. F. 372, by Mr.. Sanborn, to regulate
sentencing persons convicted of felony,
and their subsequent release on parole,
was passed by the house yesterday and
will now be law.
This is the bill recommended by
Gov. Nelson, i'll fact prepared under his
