CHILE'S NEW TARIFF LAW.

Washington. d. c., Aug. 21.-Chile
is contemplating a revision of her
tariff laws which, when effected, will
have an important bearing on a num-
Der of American products, principally
cotton, which Chile will place on the
free list, with the hope that the intro
duction of the raw product from the
United States will encourage the man
ufacture of the finished product in
Chile. The minister of finance has
drawn the bill and has submitted it
to both houses, although the elections
promise to delay its adoption. The
present normal rate of duty is % per
cent advalorem. Besides cotton. to
be transferred to the free list are,
cotton yards, chemicals of various
kinds, jute, wheels and aXles, link
sheets, gloves, etc.

WON BY GOOD HITTING.
The Bureau Nine Defeat the Canter-
bury Team.


The Canterburys, who claim the title OF
champion of the District Amateur Leagne,
which is also claimed by the Shamrocks.
and the Bureaus. who are the champions
of the Departmental League. met at Ma
tional Park yesterday to decide the cham
pionship Of the District of Columbia. There
was a good-sized attendance out, made up
of the friends of both teams and the noise
of the rooters would have done credit to
the most demonstrative foot ball game.
The game was one that was we'll worth
seeing, and but for little looseness in the
field work of the Canterbury team would
have been almost perfect as an exponent
of the national sport.
The bureau team Won by good stick work
and on account of errors made in the Can
terburys infeld, fours being made between
short stop and second base. BiSbee occu-
pied the slab for the Canterburys. gave 10
bases on balls and struck out seven men.
Winkleman, who pitched for the depart
mental boys, was in fine form, and did not
allow his opponents to bunch their hits in
any inning except the last one, when two
singles netted the only run of the District
boys.
Springman, at first. for the Bureaus, ac-
cepted fourteen chances without an error.
while Kleinschmidt, in right field, made
two hard catches that seemed safe hits into
short field, back of first. McCauley steadied
down and took seven chances without a
mispiay, while Williams, behind the bat,
had ten without losing one of them. There
were two difficult double plays made in the
game. and, n the whole. it compared very
favorably with good many league games
played here this year. Some idea of the
sharp playing which abounded may be had
from the fact that the Canterburys had
three men on bases in the first inning With
no one out. and yet Winkleman and his
fielders prevented single run from COM
