a member of the Canadian Cabinet. and is
a prominent member of the opposition. was
in this city to-day. Speaking of Canadian
sentiment with regard to the DINGHY tariff
bill. Sir Adolph Caron said: 1T looks to
me as though the people of this country
did not wish reciprocity between Canada
and the United States. / have no doubt
that Canada will regulate her customs
duties TO meet the changes in the new tariff
IN this country. Just how and what specific
things will be placed on the tariff list | do
not know yet. The failure to have reci-
procity is to be regretted. and does not in
dicate the friendly spirit hitherto cultivated
between the two countries"

Attitude Of silver Senators.

WASHINGTON. March 2i.-The dinner
given to ex-senator Dubois last night by
the silver Republicans of the Senate and
House resolved i SET int an important con-
ference as to the policy 10 be pursued by
the party in reference to the Dingley tariff
bill. The result was a practical conclusion
not to stand in the way of the enactment of
the bill into law. 1t was not determined
whether the members should vote for the
bill, but it was made practically certain
that none CT them would vote against il.
leaving it TO individual determination
whether to vote for it or refrain from vot-
ms. II is also understood that the silver
Republicans will not unite in any dilatory
tactics to delay a final vote on the bill.
but Inat they will demand ali the time
necessary to explain the position they oc-
cupy as a parry and as individuals. The
opinion was generally expressed at the
meeting that the passage OF the bill would
not bring q return of prosperity and that
1t was good policy for them as a party TO
allow this TO be demonstrated to the coun-

owners and shipping interests generally.
protesting against the proposed duty of S
cents per yard on floor mating valued at
10fcents per yard or less. and s cents per
yard. plus 70 per cent. ad valorem. on goods
of higher value. This duty they consider
prohibitive. The circular says: You are of
course aware that mating forms a very
large proportion of the cargo offerings in
China and Japan, and that the American
sailing vessels are dependent on the article
to q great extent for return freight. In the
neighborhoOd of $S50.03O of mating were

CHANGES IN THE BILL.
Amended in Difference tn the Wishes
of Educational institutions.

WASHINGTON. March 24.-The OPPOSE
ton made by the colleges of New Eng
land and by many scientific men against the
duties placed on books and scientific appar-
atus by the Dingley bill induced the franz
ers of the measure to amend il to-day and
restore so many of these articles to the free
list as are imported for the use of educa-
tional institutions. They drew a new para
graph for the free list as follows:
Scientific apparatus instruments. books.
charts and chemicals. such as are not pub
lished or made i'm the United States, when
expressly imported in good faith by and
incorporated university, college, academy,
school. seminary of learning or free public
library. not intended for sale. and the sec
rotary of the treasury shall make suitable
regulations to carry out the intent of this
paragraph"
The rates originally fixed in the bill were
% per cent on books and As per cent. on
scientific apparatus. The paragraph under
which works of art imported for free pub
lie exhibition were 10 be admitted free un-
der bond for six months was broadened so
that works of art exhibited free of charge
for at least One-siXth of the time. at a fixed
place by any association established in good
faith and duly authorized under the laws
of the United States or any state expressly
for the promotion of any science, art or in
dustry and not for sale. shall be admitted
free of duty under such regulations as the
secretary Of the treasury may prescribe.
A clause was inserted in the chemical
schedule putting chlOrate of soda at 3 cents
per pound. The duty on ~pineapples.
which was 2 cents a pound originally, was
changed to s cents per cubic foot on pine
apples imported i'm barrels and other pack
ages and Sc per LOCO on those imported In

Nevada Wool Crop.

The Nevada wool crop is a. largo
If not larger this year than for many
years previous, and as the price Of
wool is good the sheep men are happy.
The principal reason for the rise in
the price of wool is the tariff lsgisla-
ton now in the hands of the Senate,
but other facts bearing on wool prices
are that the general clip in this coun-
try this year will be 40 per cent less
than four years ago. Texas, which
has raised as high as 1000, 900
pounds, last year raised only 7,O00,-
900. The Montana clip has fallen
off two-thirds, The Ohio and Penn
sylvania clip has fallen off one-half,

high as 60, OOO,0O pounds, will not
raise over 25,OoO,OO0 pounds this
