D|NGLEY BILL DIAGNOSED.
CHAIRMAN DINGLEY FURNISHES
A SYNOPSIS OF THE NEW
TARIF FBILL.
NOT rs HIGH As M'K|NLEY RATES
The Rates Imposed Are Between the
Wilson and Mckinley Bill Rates.
II Falls Heaviest on Wool
and WOOlens.

Washington. March 1J.-Chairman
Dinpley of the ways and means commit
tee. in response to Il request that he
furnish a synopsis of the new tariff bill,
presented by him today, makes the fol-
lowing statement:
"'rhe bill has two purposes, namely, to
raise additional revenue and 20 cnconr'
age the Industries Of the United States.
ION the basis Of importations for the
last fiscal year, the bill would increase
the revenue about S112,OOO,OOO, divided
among the several schedules roughly as
follows:
"A, chemicals. $3.j00,000; b, crockery
and glassware, $4,0O0,0OO; G, metals,
S4.0O0,OOO: ID, wood, $1.750,0O0; Il, SUI
gar. S21, 10000; +, tobacco, $7,OOO,O 600;
q. agricultural, $G,3OO,OO0; II, liquors,
81. 100000; |, c0ttons. $1,700,0OO; j, jute,
linen and hemp, $T,0O0,0O0; X, wool,
S17.JOO,000; X, manufactures of wool,
S37, 100000; l., silks, 81 100000; NJ, pulp
and paper, $4,000; \, sundries, SG,2D,-
600.
''This estimate is on the supposition
that the imports of wool were three times
ms great and those of wooden goods were
more than twice as great In pounds as in
1893. The committee assumes that the
excessive importation would be largely
reduced by the proposed bill, although
the fact that our domestic production OF
wool has diminished S,00OOOO pounds
since 1893 will nccessitate the importa
tion of much more wool now than in the
latter year. Assuming that the importa-
tions of wool will fall off at least one
third from those of 1896 on account of
antcpatory imports to avoid duty, we
place the increased revenue from this
source N at Sl1,OOOOOO. Anticipating
also that the imports of wOolens will fall
off nearly 80 per cent from the enormous
imports of 1896. we estimate the increas-
cd revenue from this source under the
proposed rates at about S14.OOO.0O.
From sugar we estimate S2OOOO,OOO adj
dtional revenue.
anticipating considerable falling off
of imports of Havana tobacco because of
the revolution in Cuba, we reduce the
estimates of additional revenue to he de-
rived from the tobacco schedule of ST.,
100000. The remaining schedules would
afford revenue of about $50. JOOOO on
the basis of the imports of 1896. but rs
there would likely be diminished imports
nj some points, although the gradual rcsto-
ration of business activity would Offset
this by increased consumption of import
cd luXuries. we reduced the estimates on
these to S31 100000 These would aggrc
gate an additional revenue OF SSO,0OOOOO
the first year.
"An additional reduction of SS,OOOWO
or S10,OOO,OOO for contingencies would !

Myers wife informed the father of the
victim of the true state of affairs, and
the arrest soon followed. The assault on
the child was committed week ago.
When the neighbors heard the girl

COTTON GROWERS.

Atlanta. Ga. March 15.-The American
Cotton Growers association met here to-
day to discuss the ACCESSIBILITY of reducing
the production of the staple. Several
prominent planters and cotton factors
made addresses urging upon farmers the
necessity of reduced acreage and advis-
ing the raising of supplies for home con-
sumption.
The most prominent of the speakers
was Hon. Hector ID. Lane OF Alabama,
president of the association, Mayor
Young and Thomas Barrett, president of
the Augusta Cotton Exchange.
AS the result of the conference, an al.
dress was issued to the cotton growers OF
America urging decreased acreage OF
cotton and an increase in production or
cattle and farm necessities.

Large Receipts From Customers at the
Port of New York.

New York. March 15.-7When on Saturc
doy last the duties on Withdrawals of
imports from bonded warehouses reached
the remarkable total of 81 ass, 600. it was
believed that the panic begun on Wednes-

days aggregate showed, however. that
the panic had only really began on Sat
urday. When the doors of the custom
house closed at 800 p. M, Cashier North

This aggregate is the largest in the his
tory of the New York custom house for

TRANSPORTATION TO BE FREE
Santa Fe Will Garry Its Employees
and Families to the Fall Eesti-
val Free - Important Order.

Mr.. ]. F. Gavitt, master mechanic or
the middle division of the santa re-
with headquarters at Newton, mas Is
sued the following circular TO the 1ore-
men at the different points under his
supervision:
ITO Foremen Underwood, Knicker-
knocker, Higgins, Tisdale and Hans
brOuck-AS you doubtless are aware
Wednesday, September 29, will be San
ia Fe day at the Topeka Fall Festival
and the management desires that as
many employees shall attend as can be
spared
Free transportation will be furnish
ed employees and their families, but it
is necessary that time shall be given
to get such transportation from rope
ka as we will not be allowed to issue
transportation from the division Of
fees
men"
In commenting on the above circular
in particular and the Santa Fe cele-
bration in general, the Newton Repub-
Hcan says:
s.The Santa Fe employees in Newton
should call each others attention to
this fact and do all in their power to
insure a good, large and creditable
representation from this city Santa F'e
day. The road will be very generous
and the employees should consider that
the proper thing for them to do-those
who can go, is to go and take part in
this monster eornmemoration of the ad-
vent of the greatest road in the world
in Kansas. 1t is an opportunity of q
life time for the railroad men of Kan
SaS, and Newton in particular. Let's
show the state of Kansas and the thou
sands of visitors to Topeka just what
an important factor our city is in the
railroad affairs of Kansas
But while making preparations to
attend the celebration, sight should not
be lost of the fact that is just as es-
sentiaI as your presence-the fact that
the floats which shal! go from here
shall be something of which you, the
people of Newton and the road may
be proud. Meetings should be held
again. and the men should discuss the
subject of floats at every opportunity
THE Santa F'e celebration will be the
biggest thing that ever happened in
Kansas-let's be in it from start to
finiSh.''
