A COSTLY MISTAKE.
Serious Errors Discovered i'm the
Wire Schedule.

KANSAS CITY. Mo-. Aug. %. - The
Times this morning says it has discovered
discrepancy in a table of the tariff bill
passed by Congress which would prob
ably cost consumers large sum. Some
days ago local paper contained Wash
ington dispatch charging that the wire
schedule of the new tariff showed in
creased duties as compared with the Nc
Kinley bill: ranging from 100 to
800 per cent. The Times by com.
pairing the two bills has succeeded in
correcting the misapprehension. 1t is
shown that instead of increasing the tariff
on wire goods the Senate bill reduces the
duties to a nominal figure Ar inquiry
was set on foot in Washington by the
Times correspondent and tonight he
wired: Senator Faulkner was surprised at
the mistakes in estimating Increases on
wire, ETC., and will have experts at work
on them tomorrow. On page 266 Of the
Senate report you will see the com parsons
carried out, in which the average ad
valorem under both bills is figured. This
shows that on only two items on wires is
there any increase. Mr.. Faulkner does
not know how the mistake occurred.

THE FIRST TROUBLE.
WrangIe Over the New Tariff Law
at Port GeneSee

ROCHESTER,. n. Y. Aug. 28.-The FIRST
snarl over the new tariff law came up at
the port of Genesee today. In the press
dispatches appeared a letter to the Col
lector of Customs from Secretary Carlisle,
including this paragraph: All articles
heretofore subject to duty but made free
by the provisions of the new act may be
Withdrawn from warehouses on and after
August %, 1894, without the payment of
duty"
The Waterloo Wooden Company has for
some time had quantity of wool in the
bonded warehouse here. A representa-
tive of the company came here last night
to take the wool out. Collector Houk's
mail contained no COPY of Secretary Car
isles letter. and while he believed the
Secretary's letter as published was correct.
he took the position that the Waterloo
man should pay the duty on his wool and
then enter protest. This was done and
the wool released.

WILSON is SATISFIED.
Says the Outlook for Tariff Reform
Is Bright.

WASHINGTON. Aug. 2S.-Chairman Viii
son left to-day for West Virginia 10 be
present at the Congressional convention
of his district tomorrow. His renomina
ton is conceded without opposition. He
will address the convention and his speech
will be his first utterance outside of Con-
gress.
Mr.. Wilson said to-day: "The outlook
for general tariff reform is very bright.
We have taken the first step, and that is
always the hardest. and having done that
much and done it perfectly, it will be easy
to proceed to full realization of tariff re-
FORM"
Mr.. Wilson was asked if he considcre d
that the principle of tariff reform charac-
terized the present act, even though the
rates were not ell that was wanted?
YES" said he, "the principle is there.
and after all the great struggle has been to
secure recognition of the principle rather
than the perfection of detail. The detail
must come by the irresistible force of cir
cumstances, now that the principle is OBJ
tained."
What is there in the assertion that re-
sumption Of tariff agitation next winter
will bring a recurrence Of business un-
rest?"
THAT is wholly INV warranted" said Mr..
Wilson. "Tbere need be no general bill
reaching all industries so that the legisla-
ton will not be such as to affect CONNER
cial affairs generally. The tariff rates will
remain staple on the very great majority
of articles, and it will be upon compara-
lively few that the perfection of details
will be necessary in order that the tariff
reform placed on the statute-books shall
be consistent whole"
Mr.. Wilson spoke in warm approval of
President Cleveland's letter to Mr.. Catch
ings. saying it was strong in expressions
ana in the sentiments set forth.

felt at Ashland for the safety of northern
Wisconsin towns is somewhat eased by
reports Of rain at nearly every city where
the fires had boon worst Queries sent
out from Ashland havo brought back
many responses regarding the rain, which
has 70 a great extent checked the flames.
From Ironwood came the following re-
sponso This city is in no danger from
forest fires. Rain foil for nearly two
hours. Monday the fires crept up over the
Gogebic range around the Norris mine
and were advancing on the city from that
direction.
In explaining the reason for tho fires
ono railroad official said that It was all
owing to the great amount Of brush and
rubbish left in the rapid construction Of
the railroads and also tho great amount
created in logging. No precautions had
been taken to clear up the stuff and
burn it.
A vast amount OF territory burned over
by the fires this year had not been visited
by fires in years before, and the accumu-
lation Of dend material had given a last
ing existence to the flames which will
take days Of rain TO etfectually extinguish.
Every town damaged by fire has boon re-
