A. Thss Which Came From the House.
Some Schedules Eatirsly Rswrisesa
and Others Radically Altered-Au-
nounoed by Chairman Allison That
Dehats Will Begin May 10.
WASHINGTON. May 5.-The tariff bill
as reported to the senate is radically
different from the Dingley bill amount
ing almost to another measure. Many
important schedules were rewritten
entirely. The comments on the bill
are. of course, partisan. Some features
are very much disliked even by Re-
publicans, but, upon the whole. the
Republicans commend and Democrats
condemn it, though members Of the
committee say that the subcommittee
has in many particulars improved upon
the Dingley bill.
In presenting the measure to the
senate Mr.. Allison announced that he
would call up the bill May 1s. sena-
tor Jones Of Arkansas, the Democratic
tariff leader, said that he expected
there would be about six weeks debate
on the bill,
The Important Changes.
In the bill reported to the senate the
retroactive clause of the Dingley bill is
stricken out, as is also the provision for
keeping in force tho Hawaiian reci-
procity treaty. The effect of this is
to impose the same duty on Hawaiian
sugars Us is imposed on sugars from
other countries.
The woolen schedule of the Dingley
bill is SO changed in the senate meas.
ure as to make it almost unrecogniz.
able by its former friends. First class
woods were reduced from II cents per
pound, as provided in the house bill, to
8 cents per pound, and second class
woods from IL to cents, whereas the
duties OH woods of the third class were
raised. In the new measure beer is
taxed $l.44 per barrel and tea ~ cents
per pound. Hides have been taken
from the free list and duty Of IL
cents q pound placed thereon. The
lumber schedule remains practically
the same.
