THE DINGLEY TARIFF BILL.

The new tariff bill was introduced in
the House Of Representatives by Chair
man Dingley the first day Of the session.
The changes which it proposes in the
present law are comparatively few. They
consist, first, in changing the principle
from an Gd 0GIOrem to specific system
Of levy; second, in increasing duties on
few leading articles; and third, in taxing
some articles which are now on the free
list.
Specific duties are laid on articles &C
cording to their number, their weight,
their capacity, etc., as so much apiece,
SO much a pound, pint, a yard, etc.
Ad DGlorem duties are levied on articles
according to their value-so much per
cent. on the dollars worth.
The trainers OF the bill had two objects
in view-to increase the revenues and to
encourage and protect American indus
tries. There are fifteen schedules, and,
based on the importations for the last
fiscal year, it is expected the new bill
would increase the receipts about liz
million dollars, divided among the sew
eral schedules as follows:

1t is expected, however, that the in
crease Of duties will reduce the amount
of importations far below the aggregate
of 1896, and that the increase Of revenues
will therefore not be nearly as much as
these figures indicate. The probable
actual increase, all things considered,
Mr.. Dingley thinks will be about 70 to
IS million dollars. OF that amount,
sugar is expected to produce about 20
million, wool IL million, and woolen
goods IA million, or nearly two-thirds Of
the whole amount on these three articles.

JUE O'BRIEN'S EXPERIENCE
A STREAK OF LIGHTNING ToYED
WITH HIM.
The Fluid Tears Things Up at the
Brick Tank House in City Greek
Canyon.

Joe O'Brien had a conflict with a streak
of lightning yesterday in which the fluid
came out fist best. 1t was all done so
quickly that O'Brien really cannot tell
how it happened, but he knows some
thing hit him and did it hard and sud-
denly.
Joe was sitting in the brick tank house
up city Creek waiting for the clouds to
roll by yesterday afternoon and enjoyed
the Deals of thunder which reverberated
and rolled along as he smoked his bit of
a pipe in peace and wondered who would
be the next mayor
Then something happened O'Brien was
wondering what had occurred when he
found himself lying on the floor. There
was no one inside that he could lay the
occurrence onto. and he was about TO
telephone the police station that an I'M
known ard invisible being had come in
and slu2ged him. when he noticed the
telephone box was all ripped up. 1t then
dawned upon him that lightning had
done the work. He looked to see if the
streak could be found. but all he could
discover was the place where it entered
and where it escaped. 1t tore off piece
of brick wall getting away, threw up
sort of ditch for itself and is presumed
to be roaming around yet. Several feet
of wire and a few poles were badly dam
aged by the shock.

though there are few natural sites for

completed as to make it an assured

THE PLAN IN BRIEF.
In brief, the system is one to store
