Capital.

Washington, Dec. ia moderate
measure" Is the Characterization which
leading republicans of the house give
to the new tariff bill which it is pro-
posed to frame this winter in anticipa-
ton of an extra session of congress.
It is explained that what is desired is o
bill which will provide sufficient rev.
enue to cover the deficit now existing,
furnishing proper protection to home
industries, and also thatconditions have
considerably changed since what is.
known as the Mckinley bill became
law, and that rates of duty that were
justified then are unnecessary at pres
ent.
The sugar schedule promises to cause
more embarrassment than any other in
the bill, The agricultural schedule will,
probably be fixed at the former rate,
Of duty, while the woolen schedule, it.
Is said. will receive sufficient proteo-.
ton to satisfy the manufacturers. The
cotton and steel and iron schedules are
not likely to be changed.
The bill, it Is said, will contain q
provision that goods in bond will, when
taken out, pay the rate Of duty in force,
and not the lower rate at which they
were originally brought to this coun-
try. An arrangement will be made
whereby dates will be assigned to cer-
tain interests to be heard, so that there
may be some systematic method of
giving the hearings without embarrass-
ment. The date upon which the hear
ings will begin will be made public
when the full committee meets.

Novel Method of Dealing with Fraudu-

Chicago, Dec. l2.-Federal Judge
Grosscup has adopted new plan in deal
ing with persons found guilty of operat-
ing fraudulent concerns by the aid of the
United States mails. He ordered the
postal inspectors to be the agents of
Charles w. Braithwaite in the return of
five dollars each to 42O people scattered
all over the United States, from whom
he secured the money on promise to pay
them $50 month as distributors Of cir
culars. A condition of employment by
the National Distributing company was
deposit of five dollars by the agent
as an evidence of good intentions. When
a motion for new trial was made the
court said it would be taken under adj
visement until the next term and in the
meantime he expected Braithwaite to
return the five dollars to each agent,
The defendant brought into court his
book of agents, showing 400 names, but
the pages for August and September
were torn out. If the money is not re-
turned no mercy will be shown Braith-

they are waiting for commensurate gain
