stood that senator Jones u Nevaua
was gong 10 vote with the repuouVuus
and realized that there was no p0sslbu-
lty OF changing the bill. " hell a mo-
ton was made by tne republicans to *
port the bill at once the vote was
taken promptly. All the republicans,
with Senator Jones of Nevada, voted
tor the motion, and ali the democrats
voted against II, the vote standing n\e
to SIN. Later in the day senator Ala
rich announced that he would call up
the bin Tuesday, May is. The repuD-
lican members of the committee say
there is no statement to be made now
as to the effect Of the bill, the amouAt
OF revenue to be raised by it or the re-
auctions. When the bill is taken up
in the senate Mr.. Aldrich will make
such statement in the opening speecn.
1t will raise revenue enough, was
the comment of Senator Allison, AS
scented to by Senator Aldrich. They
estimated, however, that the increased
revenue to be raised from beer would
be $l3 900 900 and from tea $l0,OO0,00
Senator Jones Of Arkansas, the demo-
cratic tariff leader, said that he eX-
pected there would be about six weeks
debate on the bill Upon the whole
the republicans commend and the dem
ocrats condemn it, though members OF
the committee say that the sub-com-
mittee has in many particulars i'm
proved upon the Dingley bill. The
new bill is radically different from the
Dingley bill, practically amounting
amost to another measure. Many i'm
portant schedules were rewritten en-
tirely.
The lumber schedule is changed by
adding after the word timber the
NCIuS, HtWh, oiutu vi Slh''hN'' H''H
round timber and the duty fixed at the
rate of cent per cubic foot as in the
house bill. The rate of 81 per ton on
all sawed boards, etc, is retained, but
when planed on one side. the addition
al rate is made 35 instead of 80 cents
per thousand feet, board measure
when planed, tongued and grooved, the
additional rate is made 20 cents per
| thousand feet, board measure, instead
of 81; t. planed on two sides and
tongued and grooved, 81 .05 per thous-
and instead of $1.50 The house pro-
vso for an additional duty OF % per
cent. ad valorem upon lumber imported
from any foreign country which imposes
an export duty Is changed so as to ad
| the amount of the export duty instead
of any fixed sum. The duty on
kindlng wood in bundles is ricken
out Shingles, house rate. 30; senate
25 cents per thousand. Manufacturers
of willow house rate, 80. senate, 80
per cent. ad valorem. Too,hpicks Of
wood or other vegetable substance,
house rate, cents; serate. cent per
thousand, Is per cent. advalorem
/ Butchers and packers skewers, house
40 cents per thousand; senate 20 per
CEN, ad valorem. Placed on the free
| list is poplar and other pulp woods
! heading bolts, stave bolts, railroad ties.
Many and important changes were
made in the wool and wooden schedule
as passed by the house First-class
! woods were reduced from II cents per
! pound, as provided in the house bill,
to cents Fer pound and second class
woods from IL cents to . cents, whereas
the duties on the woods OF the third
class were raised The dividing line
| in this latter class was placed at 10
cent value, woods under that value be-
ing made at the rate of cents per
pound instead of 80 per cent ad va
loren as In the house bill. Wocls
valued at more than 10 cents per pound
were placed at Z cents per pound in
stead OF so per cent ad valorem. The
wool growers failed to secure all the
changes which they desired in classi-
! fication but 1t is understood that the
rates fixed on the woods themselves are
satisfactory to them. Skirted woods Of
the first-class, as imprted In 1890 and
prior to that, are required to pay ! cent
per pound in addition to the rates i'm
posed by this act on unwashed woods OF
class one. There Is a reduction on
noils from 30 to 30 cents per pound
Paragraphs 1862 and 1863 and 1854 are all
sticken out and substitutes provided for
them as follows:
362-Wool and hair which nave
been advanced by any process Of manu-
facture beyond the washed or scored

vided for.
363-On yarns made wholly or In
part % wool, valued at not more than
