that in many mansions the wealthy
owners look upon the tax as great
hardship.
1t Is estimated by treasury experts
that the revenue derived from the In

their scheme in making the Chinese
believe they had left the settlement
than they marched with a rush
straight up to the fortitications, attack

San Francisco, Aug. 2i.A panic Is
feared In Japanese financial circles on
account OF the Corean imbroglIo, say
the japanese papers. The banks have
suspended their loans, while deposits
are fast being withdrawn. Capitalists
are unwilling to invest, as they expect
To have an opportunity Of making large
profits through the panic. The money
market Is now very stiff. This condi.
lion IS due TO the belief that the pres
ent war will be far greater and more
expensive than the satsuma rebellion.

on sugar without any differential
on refined sugar, or any extra duty on
sugar imported from countries paying
bounty. In other words, 1t is the

would furnish sufficient revenue with

va shington, Aug. 21.-When the sen
ate met Mr.. Harris reported the
amended sugar bill and the coal, iron
ore and barbed wire bills. Inquiries
we're made as TO what had become OF
the amendments offered to the sugar
min but Mr.. Harris said 1t was not
usual TO report back amendments re-
jaeted in committee.
Mr.. Allison said the action of the sen
ATE last Saturday on Mr.. Manderson's
amendment, when the vote was p to
% and only failed for lack of a quor-
nm. should be regarded as an instruc-
tior TO the committee to report the
amendment fayorably. Mr.. Allison
stated that the free barbed wire bill
does not provide for free barbed wire
at all, as it places a duty upon the
manufactured article while admitting
the material free. He reminded the
senate that the Wilson bill provided for
% per cent. ad valorem duty on
barbed wire but that the senate had
reduced it.
Mr.. Aldrich, another republican MEM
Der Of the finance committee, denied
that the substitute bill just reported
was by the unanimous vote of the COM
mittee, as it had been opposed by all
the republican members. The house
had desired TO put barbed wire on the
frea list to benefit the farmer. but in
its haste had done just the opposite.
Mr.. Chandler wanted to know what
became of his amendment repeating
and canceling the late tariff act. Mr..
Harris gave as his reply that he had
been instructed to report the bill back
with an amendment providing for a
duty of 40 per cent.

COMMERCIAL CLUB.
Address of the Committee Appointed at the Directors Meeting Tester
 day-Call for Information.

To the Business Men of Birmingham:
 The Commercial club has declared on several occasions during the past year that there were conditions existing here which tended to retard the commercial and indus trial growth of Birmingham.
 The financial depression of the country at large, coupled with our own share therein, kept the club from putting forth earlier eff forts to remedy these conditions; but now, since general revival of business activity is nigh at hand, thepresent seems most suspicious time for action in this behalf. The Commercial club, as a preliminary movement to greater activity on the part of this organization, which represents all the varied interests of this city, has called a conference with the railroads for Wednesday, September 5, proximo. These corporations are equally interested with us in the expansion and development of Bir- mnghan' commercial interests, and hence this conference has prospective ben efits of the greatest value to all interests among ns, and the club desires that all in : terests over which this conference may have proper cogniZance shall be repre- sented therein. To this end all parties who have any fact or facts touching the trade or man nufacturing interests of the city are requested to present the same in a concise ehape to the secretary of the club at once. This is public service that may prove of great benefit to this city, and it is hoped that all persons interested who may have such information will immediately act on this request.
