To Increase Taxes.

WASHINGTON March l5.-Chairman Dingley, of
the ways and means committee, in response to a
request that he furnish synopsis of the new tariff
bill presented by him today makes the following
statement:
The bill has two purposes, namely, to raise adj
ditional revenue and to encourage the industries
of the United States.
On the basis of the mportations for the last fiscal
year the bill would increase the revenues about
s112 600, divided among the several schedules
as follows
A-Chemicals, 50, 100000.
B-Crockery and glassware, 100000.
C-Metals, 100000.
D-Wood, 81, 10000.
E-Sugar, s21, 10000,
Tobacco, 100000.
G-Agricultural Sc, 100000.
H-Liquors, 81 800, 900.
I-Cottons, 81, 100000
J-Jute, linens and hemp, s7,SoOOOO.
K-Wool, $3.50 900; do. manufactures of wool,
81, 900, 900.
L-Silks, 81, 100000.
M-Pulp and paper, $4,000.
N-Sundries, Sc 2O0, 900.
This estimate is on the supposition that the i'm
ports of each class Of goods would be the same the
next fiscal year as in the fiscal year ended last
June. But as the imports of wool were three times
as great and those of wooden goods more than
twice as great in pounds as in 1893 the committee
assume that their excessive Importation would be
largely reduced by the proposed BILL although the
fact that our domestic production of wool has di-
mnished 5000 600 pounds since 1898 will necessitate
the importation of much more wool now than in
the latter year.
Assuming that the importatons Of wool will fall
off at least onethird from those of 1896 on account
of the anticipatory imports to avoid duties, we
place the increase from this source at ST.,
100000.
Anticipating also that the imports of wpolens
will fall off nearly so per cent from the enormous
imports of 1896, estimate the increased revenue
from this source under the proposed rates at about
Sl4,OOO,OO0 From sugar we estimate S200OO,OOO ad-
ditional revenue. Anticipating considerable fall
ing off of imports of Havana tobacco because of the
revolution in Cuba, we reduce the estimates of ad-
ditional revenue to be derived from the tobacco
schedule to 100000.
The remaining schedules would afford revenue
of about $39 900 the basis of the imports of
1885, but as there would probably be diminished
imports at some points although the gradual
restoration of business activity would offset this by
increasing the consumption of imported luxuries,
we reduce the estimates on these to 900.
These would aggregate an additional revenue of
$50 600 900 the first year.
A further reduction of five or ten millions for
contingencies would leave 100000 to SIS 100000
as the probable increased from this bill the
first year, which would undoubtedly rise to $780,
900, 900 the second year.
Low ESTIMATES.
These estimates are below rather than above the
probable result unless considerable delay in the
enactment of the bill should greatly enlarge the
opportunity for imports of articles which duties
are to be raised--particularly wool and woolens-
for speculative purposes. Undoubtedly any delay
beyond the LIST of May in placing the bill on the
statute books would result in large loss Of revenue.

THREE STEAMERS GO DOWN.
Great Loss Of Life.

Wreckage of the Utrecht. Dutch steamer,
came ashore at Brest, France, on Thursday.
1t is feared that all her crew and passengers,
about 100, were drowned, as small boat
could last long in the storms that have swept
the English coasts during the past week. 1t
is supposed she collided with a sailing vessel
and both went down.
The French steamer Vile de st. Nazaire
left New York for Port an Prince, Hsyti,
March 6, with 80 passengers and crew, and
about 48 hours after she ran into hurricane.
The captain did all that he could, but the
storm increased so that the steamer was being
pounded to pieces. All boats were manned
and the passengers and crew transferred to
them. So far only four are known to be
saved, and their accounts of the suffering for
food and water are terrible. Her cargo was
valued at $50, 600, there was S25, 600 additional
in gold, and the vessel was insured fer $780,
600.
The English steamer Rialto was burned in
mid-ocean on March 5. Her crew were res
cued by an Allan Line steamer Just as they
had given up all hope of rescue. The steamer
left Newcastle. England, February u, for
New York. loaded with chemicals.
