THE PROPOSED ACT.

An idea of the proposed act may be
had from the following excerpts from
the bill now before the ways and means
committee:
a bill for the raising of revenue and the
creating of a tariff commission, and
for other purposes.
Whereas the difference in the cost of
production in the United States and for
eign countries is the only equitable and
just basis upon which the rates of duties
upon imports should be levied; and
Whereas this difference I'm the cost of
production is necessary to promote and
encourage domestic industries and has
proved to be the most satisfactory way
of providing revenue to pay the eX-
penses of the government: Therefore,
BE it enacted by the senate and house
of representatives of the United States
of America in congress assembled. That
the duty levied on all goods imported
from any foreign country into the United
States and coming into competition with
similar goods manufactured or produced
in the United States shall, in all cases.
be an amount fully equal to the diff
ference in the cost of producing such
goods in the foreign country where pro-
duced and the cost of producing such
goods in the United States. That all
goods imported from any foreign coun-
try into the United States which do not
come into competition with similar
goods manufactured or produced in the
United States may be admitted free of
duty unless a duty ON sucn goods may
be considered necessary for the purpose
of revenue, or as hereinafter specified in
this act.
Sec. 8. That for the purpose OF de-
termining what is the difference in the
cost of production and arranging the
schedules under which said duties shall
be levied and collected, a commission
is hereby created and established, to be
known as the tariff commission, which
shall be composed of one chief commits
sioner and six associate commissioners
who shall be appointed by the president,
with the advice and consent of the SEN
ate. That said commissioners shall hold
their office during good behavior.
HOLD PUBLIC MEETINGS.
Sec. 8. That II shall be the duty of the
commission to appoint one or more COM
mittees from among its members who
shall visit the different sections of the
country and hold public hearings so as
TO better ascertain the needs of the diff
ferent sections as well as to become
themselves more familiar with the pro-
cess and cost of production, also the
conditions of labor, and that all such
information shall be put I'm proper shape
for the future use of the commission.
Sec. IL. That each commissioner shall
receive a salary of seven thousand five
hundred dollars per year, except the
chairman, who shall receive eight thou
sand dollars per year. The commission
shall appoint a secretary, who shall re-
ceive a salary of four thousand dollars
per year. and such clerks and employees
as may hereafter be authorized by law
That the chairman Of the commission
shall appoint a private secretary, at a
salary of one thousand five hundred dol
lars per year, and each Of the associate
commissioners shall appoint a private
secretary at a salary OF one Thousand
two hundred dollars per year.

Judge Sweat Appoints John G.
Lehman to Take Charge of
the Concern.
RESULT OF THE OLD ALIMONY SUIT
The Hearing to Occur On May 17-Will
Precipitate Long and Hard
Legal Fight.

At Waycross yesterday Judge J. L.
Sweat appointed Judge John G. Leh-
man temporary receiver for the busi-
ness of Robert E, Briesenick. 210 Bay
street. The receivership includes not
only the stock of machinists' supplies,
etc, but the two-story brick building
as we'll.
The receiver was appointed on mo-
tion of Atkinson & DunWodT, pre-
sented by Judge Sam G. Atkinson. who
went to Waycross yesterday, returning
last night. Mr.. Briesnick was una
ware of such action being contem-
plated and was much surprised last
night when informed of what had been
done.
Mesrss. Atkinson Sc Dunwody rep
resent Mrs. Elsa Briesenick, who, sew
eral years ago obtained in Glynn SUI
perior court, Judgment for alimony
against her husband, Ernest Briese-
nick, for $500. The defendant claimed
that he had no property. 1t being all in
the possession of his son, Mr.. Robe
Briesenick. A hard legal fight re-
suited, during which the principal ac-
cumulated several thousand more in
interest and costs. Mr.. BrieseDick,
sr., meanwhile, died, and Mrs. Briese-
nick has now begun proceedings
against the son for her judgment
against the father.
The case will come up for hearing
before Judge Sweat on May II. A
long and hard legal battle is sure to
result. Mr.. Briesenick is represented
by Judge COurtland Symmes, and will
naturally resist the taking of his
property to satisfy claim against
another.
Receiver Lehman took charge of the
business last night.

that M. Ralli, the Greek premier, has

will gratefully accept the mediation
of the powers and that Turkey has in
timated that she will be satisfied with
the payment of war indemnity, guar
anteed by the temporary surrender of
the Greek fleet. The Gaulois adds:
"Tne sultan, now conscious of his
strength in consequence of the sue
cesses of the Turkish forces in Thes-
sally, is resolved to claim sovereignty
over Egypt or obtain a more effective
recognition thereof"
The powers, including Germany and
Austria, have agreed that the moment
is opportune to intervene between
Greece and Turkey. They are now
discussing the conditions of such in
tervention and appear about to reach
an understanding.

tional scene in the Romeyn courtmar-

pany in which Bamford is lieutenant,
testified that he had denounced Bam-
ford for denying his engagement to

The Advertiser Announces Suspension of
It's Daily Issue.
The trio of Brunswick's daily news
papers is now duet. In its issue of
yesterday afternoon, the Evening Ad-
vertiser announced its retirement from
the field.
The Advertiser had been in exist
ence one year, and the announcement
states that "there is little in a small,
struggling daily, or the early promise
of daily newspaper business, to justify
such sacrifice Of brain and energy"
The paper will be issued hereafter as
weekly, every Saturday.
The continued existence of three
daily papers in Brunswick has been a
matter Of considerable wonderment,
and withdrawal on the part of one or
more of them was not unexpected.
