THE 49,. LIST.
Not Many Changes Have Been
Made

The free list is not so much changed
as had been supposed it would be, and
the distractions from it are far more
numerous than the additions. The
date when The free list shall go into eff.
feet is changed from June |, 1891, to
June 81, 1894. Apples of all kinds are
stricken from the free list and placed on
the dutiable list. as are also beef. NUT
ton and pork, and bone char suitable for
use Ill decoiOriZing sugar. BituminouS
coal, Shaie. coal slack ant, coke are
transferred to the dutiable list, leaving
anthracite on the free list. Cocoa fiber
Is made dutiable. Diamonds and other
precious stones, rough or uncut. are
added to the free list. Floor mating is
made dutlable. Dates, cocoanuts, Brazil
nuts, peanuts and gambler arc also taken
from the free list. Cod oil is made free
OF duty. Sailed CUTS disappear from
the Tree list. Iron ore is taken from the
free list, aud also olives and orchids,
aZaleaS and palms and other plants used
TOT forcing under glass for cut flowers.
Double and twisted silk or silk ad-
Vahced i'll manufacturing any way to
10 pay duty. Sugars are to be moved
to the dutiable list. There is touch of
reciprocity or retaliation in proviso
attached 10 the paragraph admitting
blows, narrowS. harvesterS and other
agricultural implements free, the pro-
Vlso being TO the effect that all the ar
lcleS mentioned III this paragraph
when Imported from any country
which lays ali import duty on like
articles coming from the United States
shall be subject to the duties existing
prior to the passage of this act.'
The free list also contains the
following new paragraph: ANY
cattle. horses. sheep, or other domestic
animals which have Strayed across the
boundary line into any foreign country,
or where such domestic animals have
been or may be driven across such
boundary line by the owner for pastur-
age purposes. the same may be brought
back to the United States free of duty
under regulations to be prescribed by
the secretary of the treasury" The
provision for the free admission of
horses for temporary exhibition under
the auspices OF racing associations is
eliminated. The administrative feat
lures of the bill are substan-
TALLY Identical with those of the
house bill. This insures the eX-
tensiye changes from the present
law, as the house bill made a compre-
hensive revision OF the entire ad-
minstratiofl system. The changes
made by the senate are mainly of a
technical character, suggested by the
experts of the treasury for the further
perfecting of the administration of the
tariff act. In estimating duties OH an
article not especially enumerated in the
bill, the senate bill says that it shall
pay the lowest rate on the article it re-
sembles instead of the highest rate, as
the Wilson bill provided. The excep-
ton in the Wilson bill as to personal
effects not subject to duty is enlarged to
read: And personal and household
eHects specifically enumerated in the
Few list of this act.'

Blown Up by Dynamite.


ST. JOHNS, N. F., March S.-The
steamer Walrus, one of the seal fishing
fleet. together with dozen other steam
ers, is lying at Pools Island, Green's
Pond, half a days run north of here,
waiting for Saturday next, when the
sealing season opens. Intense cold
froze up the anchorage and the
crews yesterday attempted to blast
their way through the ice with dyna-
mite. The bnatswain, Edward Breet,
George Toms and James Hutley, sea-
men, were i'll the Wa'rus galley warm
ing dynamite to ma. ) it ready for use,
when it exploded. killing Breet, injur-
ing Toms so that he died today, and
wounding Hurley so that his recovery
is doubtful. They must have had
good quantity of dynamite, as the ship
is half ruined.

COLLECTING THE TAX.
More Work For the National Rev
enue Collectors.

More Work For the National Rev
enue Collectors.
The senate bill makes the collectors
of internal revenue the officers in charge
of the collection of income taxes instead
of the deputy collectors, as is provided
in the Wilson bill. The right of appeal
against imposition of unjust taxes is
retained, but the final decision rests
with the commissioner of internal
revenue. and not with the secretary of
the treasury. as provided in the house
bill. The order in which banks, trust
and insurance companies are taxed is
somewhat changed, all of these institu-
tons being included under general
heads instead Of separately. The fol-
lowing new exception to the tax is in
serted:
provided, that dividends or interest
accrulng to states. counties or munici-
palities, and dividends, interest
or aunuities accruing to corpo-
ratlonS or associations organized
and conducted solely for charitable,
religious or educational purposes or to
any trustee or other fiduciary. in stocks.
shares, funds or securities held solely
for charitable, religious Or educational'
or municipal officers. shall not be sub
jcct to such tax or deduction
In taxing salaries of employees Of cor
porations the house bill makes it the
duty Of the corporation to pay the tax of
each employe and then deduct it from
their salaries. The senate bill relieves
corporations from becoming the tax
payers for their employees, and compels
the latter TO make
DIRECT PAYMENTS
to the collector as follows: "Said en-
ploye shall pay thereon, subject to the
exemptions herein provided for, the tax
Off per cent on the excess OF his salary
over $4,000" The time when returns
on income taxes are made is changed
from the first day of March to the
first Monday" of March. The entire
section requiring private corporations
to notify revenue collectors of all divi.
dendS, profits. etc., declared, is stricken
out. This does not relieve the corpora
tons from the tax, but does away with
the burden of notifying the collector
every time dividends or profits are
divided. The section making it per-
jury to falsify any proceeding under
the income tax is stricken out. The
changes made in the tariff on imported
wines are not many. On all spirits and
cOrdials additional proyiSos are ordered,

Will Be Voted On in the Senate
Today

Today.
WASHINGTON, March S.-The resig-
nation of Senator White, of, Louisiana,
was announced in the senate. Senator
PETER denied newspaper report that
he and Senator Kyle had complained of
unfair treatment at the hands of the
finance committee. The senate passed
the bill for the sale of unsold portions
OF the Umatilla reservation in
Oregon. At the expiration of the
morning hour. the Bland seigniorage
bill was laid before the senate as I'M
finished business. Mr.. Sherman bitterly
opposed the pending bill and expressed
the hope that the motion to reconsider
would prevail. as he wanted the bill
claimed that the bill had reached its
present stage through The regular
channels of The senate procedure. and
he knew of no reason why the bill
should not be disposed OF within thirty
minutes. He would not consent TO re-
consider the bill until the majority by a
yea and nay vote decided it. Mr. Sher-
man, an ominOuS frown on his DrOw,and
speaking i'll an earnest, determined
tone, reiterated the hope that the mo-
ton OF Senator Allison would prevail,
Tor there was no disposition in his part
or the chamber TO prevent the passage
OF the bill. He was followed by SEN
ators Lodge and Higgins. The bill went
over without action until tomorrow,
when vote will he taken. The senate
adjourned at 49, after Il brief executive
session

against A. W. Dickerson. cashier of the
Cass County bank. for fraud and fraud
ulent banking, came up in the distri ct

for change of venue, claiming that the

Cass, Audubon and Pottowattomie coun-
ties, aud were prejudiced against the
defendant, and he could not secure
fair trial there. and asking that he
