ton OF paintings water-color drawings. and

Smillie's works 1t is large and full
OF color, and cloud shadow enyelops
the foreground and lies gently across the
slope OF the artumnal wood that rises on a
hillside into the sunlight "A Gray Day In
June" is an agreeable painting OF pic
turesque subject. The pencil sketches are
clever in drawing, effective In handling. and in
the def touches OF Chinese white and always
happy in subject and selection. Mr.. Smillie is
iacile draughtsman. and is especially skill
full In such subjects as he has chosen for these
Dencilled impressions OF his summer Journey
ings into the country.

PAYING WHISKY DUTIES.
owners Saving 10 Cents n Gallon by
Taking Ii Out of Bond.

The corridors and offices of the custom
house at New York were crowded yester-
day with brokers and runners, who were
anxious TO secure advantage before the
new tariff bill becomes a law. Money
howed in steady stream into Coll 4ctor
kilbreth's strong boxes, until at noon
S610.ooJ in duties had been paid in, and all
signs pointed to as much more before the
custom house closed for the day.
There are nearly two million packages
and parcels stored in the bonded warehouse
of the government in New York city that
will be directly affected by the changes in
the tariff. The great rush yesterday was
mainly whisky men. According to Collec-
tor Kilbreth, they stand in this position: III
the bill becomes a law they will have 10
pay 81 gallon duty. If they take their
goods out of bond before the tariff bill be
comes a law, the whisky men will only
have to pay ~ cents gallon. If President
Cleveland vetoes the bill, which the ma
tority of whisky men do not believe he will
do, they are in the same position as of old
II follows, therefore, that whisky men are
borrowing right and left to get their goods
out of bend as quickly as possible.
Collector Kilbreth said he was astonished
at the tremendous increase in customs re-
ceipts from the minute the news that the
House had passed the Senate bill became
known.
Yesterday we resolved here within a
few dollars of a half million in duties" he
said. The biggest days receipts since
February ID, and about five times as much
as We have been receiving. 1t shows clear
the anxiety of the merchants to do bust
ness. Today we will no doubt exceed those
figures greatly"
Since the tariff bill went through with
drawals of whisky in bond at Baltimore
have been enormous.

REVEALED IN A DREAM,
Murder That Was Committed Years
Ago.

A Cincinnati attorney has completed
some dispositions in a remarkable case
Years ago two sons and one daughter of a
Mrs. kiezkowsky, a resident of Posen.
went to that city. Several years ago the
mother mysteriously disappeared from her
home In Posen. and word came that her
estate had been nearly dissipated, and that
what little was left was in the possession
OF Brockart Gardner, a son-in-law Of the
missing woman.
A year ago Mrs Brocard dreamed that
she saw Gardner kill her mother and burr
her She made inquiries by letter and
started an investigation that resulted in
the placing of suspicion on Gardner. There
was no tangible evidence until a few weeks
ago. when workmen, engaged in excavating
Tor a new building, came upon body,
which was identified as that of Mrs Eiez-
kowsky, and Gardner was arrested.

The Export sugar Clause.

The new tariff bill is said 10 meet all Of
the objections Of the German government
to the provisions of the sugar schedule in
the Mckinley act, as it places all foreign
countries on an equal footing. BY the Nc
Kinley act an additional duty of one-tenth
of one cent per pound was levied on all
sugars above sixteen Dutch standard. when
exported from any country which pays d.
rectly or indirectly a bounty on the ex-
portation of sugar that may be included in
this grade which is greater than Is paid on
raw sugars OF a lower saccharine strength
The provision resulted I'm admitting free Of
the Increased duty sugars from several
countries paying indirect bountics. because
their bounties were greater on the lower
grades than on the higher. German and
Austria II ngarian sugars alone came With
in this provision, and hence their protest
against what they termed Discrimination.
In the present bill the words which is
greater than is paid on raw sugars Of 9
lower saccharine strength" are omitted.
which leaves sugars from all foreign coun-
tries on exactly the same basis.

prices of all products and the steady ap-
probation of money during the past twenty
years is largely due to the decentralization
of silver by the republican Congress of
1873. We are in favor of the bimetallic

The Texas Democrats.
There was no diminution OF the throng
gathered at the democratic state conven-
ton at Dallas, Tex, yesterday. The COM
mittee on platform did not report, but the
following Is the third section:
1--WE heartily commend and indorse the
administration of our democratic Presi-
dent, Grover Cleveland, the elevation Of
official integrity, the reduction of govern
mental expenditures, the wise and patriotic
treatment of the pension question, the firm
insistence upon respect abroad, on land and
sea, of the United States flag; the effort to
reduce customs duties to a strictly revenue
basis, and the passage of a tariff bill EN-
of the federal election laws and we stand
pledged and ready to aid all faithful exer-
lions of the administration in the execution
of the demands of our party platform.
The financial plank favors coinage of gold
and silver without discrimination, and calls
for the restoration of the silver laws as
they existed prior to 1873.

The National Negro Democratic League,
at indianapolis yesterday, elected r. L.
Christian of Louisville, vice president; COM

cided to take immediate steps to open to

EFFECT OF THE NEW TARIFF,
Results Predicted of the End of the
Agitation.

The Iron Age says: 1t is too early to ex-
Terrence any effects which the removal of
the tariff agitation will have upon general
business and upon the iron and metal trades
in particular. In the iron trade the only
visible result directly growing out of the
reductions is lowering in the quotations
of foreign spiegeleisen and ferromanganese
For this seasons crop the cotton tie pur-
chases have been made from American
mills, so that nothing is expected in that
direction. 1t will probably take some time
before the policy of the Welsh tin plate
producers is defined. A marked lowering
in the price of tin plate is, of course, ex-
pected
The lead situation is peculiar, but II is
the conviction of authorities in the trade
that considerable lowering in the price of
domestic lead must gradually develop.
Thus far in the iron trade no marked
volume of orders has been noted. 1t is
acknowledged on all sides that some i'm
provement In business should follow the
adjournment OF Congress.
