LACK OF PUNCTUATION.
May Cause Serious Trouble i'm the
Diamond Schedule.

Diamond Schedule.
Washington. Aug. 16.-The copy of
the tariff bill in possession of the chair
man of the House enrolling committee,
with which the bill sent to the president
was compared and verified. contains the
following paragraph in the free list:
Free list 467-Diamonds; miners,
plaziers' and engravers' diamonds, not
ser. and diamond dust to be used in
the manufacture Of watches and
clocks"
Senator Jones, of Arkansas, says the
intention was to have the word dia-
monds made a subhead and the mistake
OF a semi-colon instead of a colon will
not be allowed to admit diamonts free.
especially when construed with the
.ewelry schedule, which especially pro-
vides uncut precious gems of all kinds
10 per cent. ad valorem."
Senator Jones says the words taken
in connection with the intention to
make the word diamonds" in the
free list as a sub-head will be con-
trued to make diamonds subject to
the duty on precious stones.
Secretary Carlisle is too good a
lawyer to construe the act in any 9th
er way" remarked the Arkansas SEN
ator.
The statements Of custom officers of
the treasury department to the AS
ISOLATED Press representatives yester-
day, however, differ from Senator
Jones. They asserted that the strict let
letter and punctuation Of the tariff bills,
and not Congressional intention, are
followed by the courts 1t is thought
quite probable that the matter might
eventually have to be settled by judi
cial construction of the mooted point,
provided, of course, that a curative be
not passed by Congress before the
new tariff becomes a law.

the sugar bill was resumed in the SEN

sion.

fined, on the free list.

ment he would offer to the bill to re-
peal the tariff bill now in the hands of

the committee on finance. The motion
was carried-32 to is.
In quick succession the other three bills
were also sent to the committee on fl
nance. Adjourned.

ABSOLUTELY PURE
LARGER CARLOADS.


Twelve Tons Instead of Ten to Ee the
Rule.
San Francisco Examiner: Pacific
coaet merchants for years have been
accustomed to figuring on $1,000 pounds
of freight as carload. This has been
changed by new rule of the Southern
Pacific company, which reads, 1000
pounds will be the minimum weight
upon which carload rates, tariff or spe-
cial, will apply, except when otherwise
specifically provided for. Cars loaded
to full space capacity will be considered
carload and subject to minimum OF
$4,000 pounds"
The company explains that this rule
conforms with that OF the Central
Traffic association, the Trunk Line COM
mittee and the Southwestern Railway
and Steamship association. These asso-
Citations include all the roads east OF
Chicago, st. Louis and the Mississippi
river, and those roads serve majority
of the population of the United States
In the rest of the country the tendency
toward increased maximum exists.
AS further reason for the innovation
the company draws attention to the
higher coast for material and labor on
this coat as compared with like items in
the eastern states. The difficulty OF
finding loads for both directions is also
noted. and the consequent cost for haul
ing empty cars.
The minimum weight Of 10 tons for
carload was originally fixed because it
represented the average weight that
Car would hold when loaded with as
much ordinary merchandise as could be
got into it. This was at time when
, cars were of email cubic capacity and
not constructed with the idea of carry
ing more than 10 tons. Now the cars in
use are generally about "a feet long the
smallest car in the service is 81 feet 8
inches long, internal measurement, and
will carry Is or 20 tons weight as rule,
while the 34-foot cars are being built to
carry $4,000 pounds. The weight and
space capacity of cars is thus increased,
and the expense Of hauling the car itself
corrsspondingly increased.
In the autumn months so great ia the
demand for cars that the company is not
able to supply enough rolling stock to
promptly move the products Of the
farms, orchards and vineyards. This is
urged as an additional reason for in
crossing the carload minimum.

Mr. WATSON IN A BAD BOX.
Discussion of His Admissions
On the Witness Stand.
He Claims Mr.. Hutchinson's Receipt
Is Not Good.
The Special Committee win Likely Be
Called Together-City Attorney
mcfarland on the Hutch
inson Receipt.

Since Street Superintendent Watson
went on the witness stand in the Stew
art case, he has raised such an army Of
critics that he will be lucky If he escapes
a thorough overhauling OF his Office:
The subject of his loose methods OF
conducting the Office during the time
Stewart was his chief deputy was the
subject of general talk yesterday, not
only around the city hall but on the
streets.
The street superintendent was han
died without gloves, because OF his ad-
missions that he knew nothing about
the books of his Office, and had author
lied Stewart to let people have money
out of the cafe.
Mr.. Watson has paid into the city
treasury the $565.39 OF city money short
when Stewart ran away, and $Slo.4O due
to private parties.
But the amount of $S7S.4O in contro-
verHy between him and ex-Superlnten-
dent Hutchinson has not yet been paid
into the treasury.
AS will be remembered, Mr.. Hutch
inson claims he turned that amount over
to Mr.. Watson when the latter took
charge of the Office, and Watson claims
he did not receive lit.
Mr.. Hutchinson has recently dug up
a receipt for this amount. 1t is on re-
ceipt for a lot of tools, close,to the bot
tom, and Watson's signature is there.
Watson claims that he never gave re-
ceipt for this money.
City Attorney Mcfarland sent to Whit
tier before making q report about the
receipt, and found Charley Keller, in
whose writing the list was, and Keller
told him he made the entry OF the
1878 40 at the time he made the others,
and MIR. Watson signed it.
The special committee OF the council
charged with the matter consists of
Messre. Nickel. Rhodes and Gsffey. A
great many people are wondering why
they do not make some recommendation
to the council about it.
The council directed the city attorney
to proceed to collect the money but
when that official saw Mr.. Hutchinaon's
receipt ne reported asking for further
instructions.
Since that time the committee has
not met. A HERALD reporter cav Mr..
Rhodes yesterday afternoon, and he
stated that while the committee had
not been able to get together recently,
he thought it necessary for it to take
some action. He had endeavored to
get the other members together, and
also to get Mr.. Hutchinson to meet with
them. Mr.. Rhodes said that if Mr..
Watson testified as reported it wss time
something wac done.
Several OF the councilmen we're talked
to about the street superintendent's
Office, and were not bit reluctant
about expressing their opinion that a
state OF affairs existed calling for

ALL FOR A MAUsoLEuM.

Serene s. Chaffee's Peculiar VIII Filed
Yesterday.
A peculiar will was filed for probate
yesterday in Judge Clark's department
OF the superior court.
The testator, Serene s. Chaffee, after
directing that the expenses of burial,
etc., be paid, stipulates that $500 be in
vested, and the interest thereof be used
for the maintenance of a mausoleum, to
be built with the balance of his estate.
As Mr.. Chaffee died worth over $780,
900 and leaves several relativeE, this
extraordinary document is likely to be
conteeted.
