PRICE OF TEA GOES UP
In Anticipation of the Passage of the
Tariff Bill

New York, May 1.-THE tea import
ers have not waited the passage of the
tariff bill with its proposed duty of
10 cents a pound upon that commodity,
but have advanced all grades of tea
from to cents q pound
The market. which was in a very
sluggish condition a week ago, has been
changed into one of great activity.
Spectators have not been slow to
take advantage of the situation, and at
the rate prices are being pushed up
wholesale merchants will find them
selves compelled to pay the full amount
of the proposed duty in the new tariff
bill before the measure becomes a law
The number of orders received at YO-
kOhama and other Japanese points has
caused an Immediate advance there
This time of the year, importers say,
happens to be between seasons, and
the quantity of tea that can be bought
abroad is said to be small Had the
proposed action by congress been taken
a month or two later, when the bulk of
the crop comes forward, it would have
been possible for importers to bring in
sufficient to last until 1900 when, under
the bill, tea will be free. Should the
bill be delayed by long debate in the
senate, this scheme may yet be carried
out to some extent and thus defeat the
object which the tariff makers had in
view-the obtaining of $4,000, 900 addi-
tiOnal revenue.

STATE LIVE STOCK BOARD
To Remove ]. F. Williams and Make
Other Changes.

The state live stock sanitary COM
mission will meet in Kansas City to-
morrow The board will likely remove
J. F. Williams of Eureka from the po-
sition of inspector, raise the existing
quarantine against five counties in
southwestern Missouri and cut down
the fees of an inspector who is now
and place that official on the basis of a
salary, probably of 500 per month.
The removal of Williams is contem-
plated because of complaints which
have been made against him. It is al
legged that he has been exercising pow
ers which are not guaranteed to him
under the appointment and such action
on his part has been denOminated as
arbitrary" as well as unfair by those
with whom he comes in contact.
Williams errors are believed to be
the result of inattention, but neverthe-
less have operated against him with
discouraging results. He was, under
Governor dwellings administration a
members of the commission himself
Williams wanted Governor Leedy to
give him a place on the commission
but the fact that the term of J. w
Johnston, the Republican member of
the board does not expire for a year
and the governor has announced that
he Will permit Johnston to serve the re-
mainder of his term, prevented Will
Hams having any show for the place
Under the rules adopted by the board
A B. Moore represents the state at
Amarillo, Texas and inspects cattle
consigned tOsKansas. He viii be trans
ferred to take the place of Williams
and the commission will cut down the
list of expenses 500 per month
L. R. Wright of Emporia, also a state
inspector at La Junta, Col, under the
operation of the two cent inspection fee
is said TO be laying away about $40 per
day. This is too plutOcratic TO suit the
majority of the board and Mr. Wright
VIII probably find himself upon a salary
of 500 per month after tomorrow
The board has also about decided to
raise the quarantine against Barry,
Lawrence, oregon, Stone and fancy
