SENATE COMMITTEE AT WORK
Tariff Bill Receiving Considerable
Attention.


WASHINGTON, April 2.-Secretary
Gage today announced that he had de-
cided to comply with the requirements
of section 81 of the pending tariff bill,
providing for the retention of samples
of merchandise imported under orders
given subsequent to April 1st and
which were not purchased and direct
ed by the owner to be shipped for i'm
port into the United States prior TO
April 1st. This action, however, will
be taken under section 249 of the Re-
vised Statutes, which authorizes the
Secretary to exercise superintendence
over the collection of customs duties
The Republican members of the Sen-
ate Committee on Finance are contin-
uing their work day and night on the
tariff BILL with the intention of report
ing it to the Senate at the earliest pos
sible day. They are not yet prepared
to give out any of the results of their
Investigations, and state that they
have not reached any conclusions as to
proposed changes.
There is however, a we'll defined i'm
preston about the Senate that the bill
will be generally remodeled and the
rates considerably reduced in many OF
the schedules. There is a general be-
lief among Western Senators that
there will be material changes in the
rates on woods, especially on those OF
the third class
Among other suggestions urged is a
return to the Wilson law of 8 cents a
pound duty on hops, instead of the Is
cents proposed by the Dingley bill. 1t
is claimed that the proposed increase
will be an injury rather than a benefit
TO the producer and hardship 10 the
consumer.
There is much contention about the
lumber schedule. The American lum-
ber men interested in Canadian forests
appear to be especially concerned over
the Dingley rates.
The committee is not receiving any
verbal statements, except from Sen
ators, but it is giving close attention
to typewriter presentations of fact
and argument

HANDSOME FLAG POLE.
Raised at Oahu Prison Yesterday
Afternoon.

At o'clock yesterday afternoon the
most elaborate fiag-pole in Honolulu
was raised in the yard at Oahu Prison,
under the direction of Jailer Low. The

inches, and at the top 51a inches. 1t is
buried up to feet in a bed of solid COR

The pole is surmounted by gilded
ball II inches in diameter, from which

weather vane midway between the
halyard truck and ball, is statue of

from a photograph of the dog by Pris-

pressing a piece of zinc.
The dog is very muscular, we'll

wrinkles and loose hide showing up
in beautiful finish.

What a Woman Thinks OF.

What does woman think about as a
general rule? According to a pro-
found philosopher following are the
mental occupations of woman dur
ing her existence: When 4 years old
she thinks of sweets and bonbons. At
her doll is her sole anxiety. At 13
she dreams night and day of her little
cousin. At IS she yearn for a roman
tic marriage. At 21 her thoughts are
engrossed by her first baby. At So
they are transferred to her first gray
hair. When about 40 her mental bal
ance is sorely tried by her first wrin-
kles and the disagreeable perspective
they open up. At so she begins to
think of the past. And later she turns
her attention to the future prospects of
her grandchildren.-E Exchange

At one of the gates was a fellow
