DINGLEY AND WILSON TARIFFS.
Comparison Between the Two-fn-
creased Revenues.

WASHINGTON, July 3l.-The compari-
son Of the present tariff law with the
Wilson act, authorized by Congress, has
been completed 1t was made by Charles
II. Evans, who has been engaged in the
preparation OF all the tariff bills with
which Congress has dealt since 1872.
The comparison is made in rates ex-
pressed in ad valorem terms. between
the present law and the Wilson law.
The statement places the average duty
rate under the new law at 54.G6 per cent.
ad valorem. as against an average Of
1910 under the Wilson law, the averages
being figured upon the basis of values in
1896. The schedules show the following
Increase in percentages:
Chemicals, from 1888 10 30.67.
Wools and woollens, H62 10 SS4.
Silks, from 1886 to 53.n
Earthenware and glassware, % to 52f.
Metals, 3S.1l TO 1924.
Sugar, 1854 to 74l6.
Tobacco. 1906 TO 1880
Agricultural products, 2.H to 3SD.
Spirits. etc, 6i5i TO 6S.S3.
Cotton manufactures. 42.25 70 5233.
Some of the increases expected in reve-
nue are as follows:
Chemicals, from S5,619,239 to ss423,Oa.
Earthenware and glassware, from
s.. .00G. .S39 10 $l2,203148.

The Dunl Drowning mt Ship-Yard.

TOANO. VA, July Sl--As the
family OF ]. b. Qamiliarly known as
Jack) Cowles feels aggrieved at the con-
ficting rumors regarding the late dual
drowning. / wish you TO give space OF the
following version OF Master Noel Mars
ton. occupant of the boat with clyde
Gatewood, and the nearest spectator or
the sad catastrophe: when Jack reached
nv boat he seemed strong. and not at
all tired by his swimming. He got into
nv boat, sat upon the side, his feet dang
ling in the water. ] heard splash, and
found that both Jack and Clyde were IN
the water; Jack holding Clyde out OF the
water with one hand and padding from
the boat with the other; Clyde's hands
being clasped around Jacks neck. The
boat turned around. and both went down,
TO rise no more. / feel sure that Jack did
not touch Clyde before falling in the
water" JAMES II. ALLEN.
