THE TOWN AGENTS REPORT


1t is to be hoped that the Town Agent
wont forget that the taxpayers of New Hs-
ven are anxious to see his report and that
they want little time to study 1t before
election dsy. If he doesn't give 1t to them
80 they can study it before they vote his
course will not be favorsbly looked upon.
1t will be thought that he doesn't care to
have it studied. But If 1t Ia Of such a
character as will glorify his administra-
ton the sooner he has it printed and dis
tributed the better, for he needs whatever
aid his report can give him. He ought to
have 1t ont by the end of this week at the
latest. There are only two weeks between
now and election, and the taxpayers ought
to have at leset a week in which to resd,
talk and "fgger."

NOW FO. THE TARIFF.

Soon the great tariff debate will be in
progress, and while 1t will probably not be
quite as windy and t;reaoms as the great
silver dsbete it will be windy aud tiresome
enough. If 1t ends as wisely as the silver
debate did it can ba endured. Some good
judges think 1t will. Awhile sgo Senator
Sherman said: No tariff bill will get
through the senate that will bs disastrous
to large interests. The republicans will
not talk against time as the silver men did,
but enough democratic senators will vote
with the republicans on most radical prop
oeitions to prevent their passsgs. The
COMMITTEES framing the tariff bill is free
trade committee, but the measure 1t re-
ports will be amended and amended before
1t passes.
The work of preparing the bill Is practi-
oally done, and though great secrecy has
been maintained by the members of the
committee It is believed that pretty correct
information concerning the bill has leaked
out According to this the metal schedule
will show some big outs. Steel rails,
which now stand at s1344 per ton, are
likely to be placed at so or $40. whloh will
be less than In the Mills bill. Iron ore will
be free of duty, and pig and bar iron will
bs greatly reduced. Tin plate will be fixed
at cent per pound. upon the theory that
this rate will yield as large a revenue as
the presen. one of 22 cents, and afford
sufficient incidental protection to tie
American industry.
The wooden schedule will follow sub
stantially the lines of the Springer bill
which passed the last House. There has
| been considerable pressure from Demo
| cratic manufacturers to have the rates on
| wooden goods fixed at 40 per cent, without
| discrimination as to quality or grade, ai
| in the Mills bill. Ths committee feels,
however, that the failure to discrimin ate
between different materials of different
values will benefit some fabrics at the ex
pense of others, and be less just and logi
cal than rates fixed by experts after care
full study of the revenue capacity of eacl
class of goods. The rate of 20 per csnt
will be the lowest on any class, and will b
imposed in only few instances.
The duties on cotton hosiery, whicl
amounted on the most numerous class o
imports In 1892 to an ad valorem rate o
more than 70 per cent, will be knocked Ii
the head. Forty per cent. will be the al
most uniform rate on all manufactures O
cotton, both hosiery and fabrics. The bi
in this respect will closely resemble th
Mills bill. The duty of so psr cent. ad Vi
loren on silk goods now seems likely to b
cut OF 10 per cent. 1t is recognized b
the committee as being essentially rev
nue. duty upon a luxury, as maintained b
the advocates of the present duty, but ii
members feel that undervalustions woul
diminish and the revenue would increai
under rate of40 OF As per cent.
Fabrics of fax, hemp and ju.e will g

sIBERIA's SALT LAKE.
Evaporation Has Formed Roof, IN
der Which Travellers May Sail.
From the Geographical Magazine.

From the Geographical Magazine.
At the first view it was a vast snow
plain, surrounded by fields of ripening
wheat, says a writer. The great salt
lake at Obdorsk is nine miles wide and
seventeen miles long, yet, except in few
places it is solidly rooted over with a de-
posit of salt, which is getting thicker and
thicker every year. Our guide, who is an
old man, said that he could remember
when the salt crystals first began to form
upon the surface of the water Year by
year, owing to the evaporation of the
water, the crystals became moro numer-
Gus, and then caked together, till the great
roof formed.
In 1873 the water beneath the salt
crystal roof found an underground
outlet into the River Obi. This
lowered the lakes surface about
three feet, leaving that distance be-
tween the water and the roof Look ing
down through one of the openings made
for the purpose in the roof, we saw a low
sized small boat. Our guide put US
one at time in the boat. We lay fiat on
our backs and looked at the curiously
beautiful salt ceiling overhead. We pro-
PEELED the boat by pushing with our
hands against the irregularities of the
roof, The guide had a long rope attached
to the boat to prevent our going TOO far
and getting lost, a thing he said was
easy to do,
It was like palace of enchantment,
with the sun shining down through the
salt crystals, the colors were 50 rich and
wonderful. Many springs surround this
lake. Their waters flow over the roof
and evaporato there, and thus continually
add to its thickness. After many years
the springs will probably become choked
with their own deposits, and then the
whole will gradually become covered with
earth, and so a great salt mine will be
formed-a treasure for the Siberans hun
eds of years to come.

COWBOY swE1D's SHIRT.
Stolen by an Apache and Recovered
With the Aid OF a Long Range Rifle.
From the New York SUI

ArAiA INC ANCN VI ~ sun
Fort Tulerosa, N. M, Aug. 20.-Among
the household gods in the home of Her
man Sweid, who lives a few miles west
of this place, is a shirt. II is not now
very good shirt, having had hard wear
but il has q story that makes il valuable,
at least to the family
Several years ago, when Geronimo was
alternately living on the bounty of the
government and raiding the scattered
whites of New Mexico, Sweid moved to
the Tulerosa Valley, went to work as
cowboy for one of the big cattle com
panies of this region, and at the same
time undertook making ranch forhimself
AS a cowboy SWeid was conspicuous be-
cause Of his love for bright colors. Cor
geous shirts and flaming neckerchiefs
were good enough for him, and when the
pony carried him over a mountain TOP on
the round up, the boys within range
recognized him as readily as they recog-
nized the difference between q prairie and
a thunder cloud.
One day when Mrs. Sweid was in Mag
dalena buying supplies her eye fell on a
particularly bright piece Of Scotch plaid.
Sweid had always bought his shirts ready
made, and so had never had one of Scotch
plaid. The wife, to give him a pleasant
surprise, bought enough OF the stuff to
made it ON the sly. The first Sweid knew
about it was when he came home one
night from the range and found it hang
ing on the clothes line, all spread
out in way to exhibit
its gorgeousness to advantage.
Sweid was much pleased with the shirt,
but he never wore it for minute For
some reason 1t was left hanging on the
line that night, and when morning came
il had disappeared. They searched about
the place, thinking an unnoticed gust of
wind might have blown it away. and then
looked for traces of q wayfaring thief. but
not trace of shirt or thief could uhey
find. The mystery of its loss was the talk
OF SWeids friends for several months,
and then the matter Of lost shirt and ali
ordinary topics of interest were forgotten
in the aLl-absorbing anxiety of the range
people to set news of the Apaches.
Geronimo was out, and every one wanted
to know which way he was travelling.
After a time the news came. The
scouting cowboys found unmistakable
evidence that he was bound for the Tul-
erosa, and they made haste to gather the
