THE TARIFF BILL.
The Senators Decide They VIII Not Kick
Hawaii Any More.

Inc SenNIOfS DCSAoO AAAoJ ''--A - ---O-
Hawaii Any More.
Washington, D. c., March 20,-The
tariff bill in it's latest printed shape, as
changed by the Democratic majority OF
the Senate finance committee, was laid
before the full committee this morning.
Among the changes are these: The duty
on collars and cuffs is increased from 40
per cent to IS per cent ad valorem. The
only additions to the free list are morn
strips and tips and cocoanuts.
Section 105, which provided that the
President should notify the Hawaiian
government of the intention of this gov
ernment to abrogate the treaty OF 1870
has been stricken out. The sugar
schedule is as follows: All sugars test
ING not above so degrees. l cent; from 80
10 90 degrees, .O1 of cent for each de-
gree. from 80 to 9S, .02 of a cent for each
degree: ali sugars testing above 81 or
above no 16 Dutch standard in color Is
of cent per pound in addition to the
duty on sugar testing above SO degrees;
Whiskey, iron ore, coal, lead ore ana
opium are unchanged.
The reciprocity sections OF the Mckln-
lev act are amended to read as follows :
ssSections 3, Is and 16 are hereby repealed
and all agreements or arrangements made
or proclaimed between the United States
and foreign governments under the pro
visions of said sections are hereby aDro-
gated, of which the President shall give
notice to the authorities of said foreign
governments, as may be required by the
terms OF Such agreements VI "ii
ments.
The most important change in the ad-
ministratiye features of the bill is the
action of the committee in striking out
the words "highest duty" as found in
the House bill and regulating the rates
of duty on all goods coming in under the
similitude clause by substituting there
for the words ''lowest duty" This was
subject of much argument in full COM
mittee in which Secretary Carlisle en-
dorsed the provisions of the House bill.
Lime. including the value of covering
or barrel. is reduced from 20 per cent TO
Is per cent
section which places duty on buck
wheat. corn. ETC., of 20 per cent ad valor-
EN-. but admits them, including oatmeal,
free from any country which imposes
no import duty on the like products
when exported from the United States
and in lieu thereof oatmeal is given a
duty of Is per cent ad valorem.
Castor beans or seeds are changed
from 20 per cent ad valorem to 35 cents
per bushel of so pounds as provided by
the House bill. Anchosies, sardines and
other fish packed in oil, in tin boxes or
in other form, are reduced from 30 per
cent to rs per cent ad valorem.
The following passage has been stricken
out entirely: Scans or packages, made
of tin or other metal, containing shell
fish. admitted free of duty not exceeding
one quart in contents shall be subject to
duty of eight cents per dozen cans or
packages and when exceeding one quar1
shall be subject to au additional duty OF
four cents per dozen for eacn aaal1ionai !,
half quart or fractional part thereof.
