DUTY ON SUGAR.
Republican Committeeman Agree ON
Their New Schedule.

Washington, March 9.-The outlines Of
the sugar schedule were agreed upon to-
day by the republican members of the
ways and means committee. only two
points were definitely decided, but they
win form the skeleton of the entire sched-
ule. These two points were that the duty
on sugar should b. specific rate of $1.6215
for each hundred pounds of sugar testing
ninety-six degrees, and a concession of
1919 cents per 100 pounds under a reciproc-
ity arrangement. This will afford a con-
siderably higher average rate than the eX-
listing sugar schedule, and will add about
$4,000, 600 to the annual revenue. The
points which remain to be decided are the
distribution of the duty on sugar above
and below SO degrees, the differential duty
en- refined sugar, and the countervailing
duty to be placed on sugar from bounty
paying countries The duty on sugar be-
low So degrees will probably be fraction
of cent less for each degree, according
to the polariscopic test, down to GER
tain point, which will be made the mini
mum duty. The differential duty, which
affords the protection to the American re-,
timers will be about the same as under the
existing law, one-eighth of cent per
pound.
The reciprocity concession will consu-
tute 12h cents upon every hundred pounds
of sugar. testing 96 degrees. and the same
proportionate concession will run through
the schedule of sugars, testing a less num-
Der of degrees. There will probably be no
concession greater than this upon refined
sugar.
The present countervailing duty against
sugar from bounty-paying countries is
one-tenth of a cent per pound. The duty
under the new law will probably not be
named in the law, but the Secretary of
the Treasury will be authorized to ascer-
tain what bounty is paid by countries
from which sugar is imported into the
United States and to levy upon such sugar
an additional duty equal to the bounty.
The details will be considered tomorrow,
and probably settled at that time.
The wool schedule will then be taken
up for action. The decision to adopt the
specific system of duties is contrary to
the wishes of the American Sugar Re
fining Company, whose reports have urged
that the ad valorem system of duties be
retained.

sCOVEL TO DE RELEASED.
Secretary Sherman So Informed by
Consul General Lee.


Washington, March 9.-Secretary Sher-
man to-day received the following cable
from Consul General Lee at Havana an
nouncing the probable release of the New
York newspaper correspondent, Scovel:
Informed Scovel will be released 10
day. f...s.
Scovel was arrested in Santa Clara pro-
vince nearly two months ago on the rail-
way near Gen. Weyler's headquarters just
after leaving Gomezs camp. He was at
first charged with being a spy, and has
been kept under strict surveillance ever
since, Notwithstanding Consul General
Lees efforts to secure his release.
There are evidences, from his release
following so closely upon that of San
gully, that it is part of a programme on
Spains part to release all Americans
within a short time, as indicated in Con-
sui General Lees dispatch of March 8, as
follows: "All quiet; no excitement here
now. l hope to secure prompt trial Of
all Americans imprisoned. Those found
innocent to be released and those guilty
sent out of the island.'
1t was explained at that time that the
orders from Madrid to release all Ameri-
cans upon examination was because Of
the consul generals guarded, but conf
dent expression.

GEORGIA RAILROAD no FIGHT.
Thomas and Ryan to BE Kept Out ce
the Lease If Possible.


the Lease II Possible.
Augusta. Ca, March 9-An Important
meeting of the directors of the Georgia
railroad was held to-day at their banking
house In this city. Coming just in adj
vance OF the argument Of the
case before Judge speer, by
which Thomas and Ryan seek
to get possession of a half interest In the
lease of the Georgia railroad, there was
considerable curiosity on the part of the
public TO know the position the directors
OF the Georgia railroad would take. 1t Is
understood the matter was considered and
discussed In all its bearings In the meet
ing, but the directors are reserved in talk
ing about IT,
The following highly diplomatic and
delphic deliverance is given out for pub
llcatlon: THE board OF directors of the
Georgia Railroad and Banking Company
at its regular meeting this morning, dis
cussed the matter of the attempt OF
Thomas and Ryan. and whatever parties
may be behind them, to control the lease
of the Georgia railroad The sentiment
of the road was very decided that both
the interest and legal duty OF the company
lay In excluding from participation IN the
lease any and all individuals and corpora
lions, whose control of the lease would be
contrary to the laws and policy OF the
state"
Another important action OF the directs
ors to-day was to ratify the sale OF $780,
600 OF bonds to the Mutual Life Insurance.
Company OF New York, issued by the
Georgia Railroad Company, TO redeem ma
turing bonds, falling due July 1. The
new bonds are not mortgage bonds. They
simply represent the. debt or obligation
to the holders, and their company be-
comes simply general creditors. and with
no mortgage lien on any specific property.
The new bonds are for twenty years and
sold at par, payable In currency, and bear
per cent interest. The bonds they will
take up are 8 per cent, and the Georgia
railroad directors are delighted with the
deal

organization Appointed.


Richmond, Va. March 9.-The Southern
States Freight Association, which largely
controls the railroads passing through the
territory south of the Potomac and east
of the Mississippi, is probably on the eve
of reorganization. In response to Il call,
representatives of a number of the lines
interested met In this city to-day. The
meeting was held behind closed doors, and
It was at once agreed that the Southern
States Freight Association should be re-
organized.
A committee to report a plan of reor-
ganizatlon was appointed, and while they
were out the meeting took a recess. The
body reconvened at 3 O'Clock and the COM
mlttee reported a plan which proposes to
do away with the office of commissioner.
and In his stead substitute an advisory
board, whose chairman shall be empower
ed TO act for them, though his powers will
not be nearly so great as those OF the COM
missioner under the present organization.
The report contemplates the continuance
of the rate commitLSe-and executive board
of the association, but proposes to abridge
their powers
The report was discussed at oonsldera-
bic length and IL iparently met with the
unanimous endor sment OF the officials
present. IL was deemed lneXpedient to
take hasty action, though, and the report
was laid over until the 22nd, when another
meeting will be held here and some final
action will be taken.
