REVENUE UNDER THE AMENDED BILL
ASSISTANT SECRETARY HOWELL SAYS 1T WILL BE
SUFFICIENT FOR THE NEEDS OF


Washington. May ll-Assstant Secretary How
ell of the Treasury Department says there Is no
doubt that the Tariff BILL reported to the Sen
ate would yield sufficient revenue Tor the needs OF
the Government. while the total revenue which
II is estimated certain schedules Will yield, ne
said .is less than the amount estimated under the
same schedules in the House BILL We Will have as
an offset 100000 from the duty on tea and Seco-
900 from the increased tax on beer. have some
doubt whether the increased rate of duty on pre-
pared opium will result in increasing the revenue
When tho duty on opium was N2 pound In 1888
the quantity imported on which duty was paid was
66673s pounds valued at sil76JS. and the duty
amounted to ss0oli5, while In 1895, when the duty
pound we imported l23 S43.e pounds yaiue e1
at 1906 SIS 49, and the amount OF duty collected was
sal POI Is The great difference in the quantity re-
ported for 1898 and 1895 is explained by the fact
that while the higher duty remained, the article
was constantly smuggled so that the quantity
which actually reached the country was mucn
larger than the statistics OF imports will show
With duty Of Sc per pound there is not sufhcient
profit for the smugger to induce him to engage , IN

tBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBusE.I
Washington. May 1.-THE preposterous story has
been revived In certain quarters that an EFFORT VIII
be made by the Republican managers In the Sen
ate to force the amended Tariff bill through the
deIiberative branch by the aid OF closure amend
ment to the present rules. According 70 this idle
rumor. the cooperation of Vice-Presdent Hobart
was to be obtained, and Mr.. Hobart to ma ke
an arbitrary ruling which would shut on debate
and secure a vote on the closure amendment short>
" after It presented.
The Vice President yesterday dignihed the printed
report with a denial sufficiently explicit and en-
phatic Yet the absuriity Of the whole project was
apparent. Neither party In the Senate. whatever
pretenses Of reform" are made from time
TO time is willing to abandon the existing methods
of legislation by the consent OF the minority ana IL
with ten or twelve majority In the body the Repub-
ucon leaders could not change the rules in 1881.
tbev certainly cannot expect. with one vote less
than half the membership to succeed In similar
attempt now.
That the Senate bill can be taken up on May
IS for actual consideration Is more than douottu'
now. Mr. Aldrich may be able to make his opening
speech, and other Senators may follow MIN IN

The United States and Hawaii
are not the only countries in
which the immigration question
is a vexatiOus one. Germany,
since her victory over France and
her unificatiOn, probably the most
prosperous country in Europe,
has to pay the penalty of wealth
by an alarming influx of emf
grants. In the eastern provinces
of Prussia the number of Polish
and Russian settlers is so large
that the German element is near
ly swamped. The Government has
now decided not to grant natural
ization papers to foreign born per-
sons unless they have learned to
speak German.
