GREENCASTLE, Ind, March 9.-Mrs.
Walling mother of Alonzo Walling arrived
in this city this evening, accompanied by
friend. They registered at the Commercial
Hotel under the name of Mrs. j. Gilbert
and niece, Of Shelbyyile. in order to con-
ceal their identity. Later in the evening
they took a carriage and drove to the resi-
dence of A. s. Bryan. father of Pearl Bry-
an. south of the city. Mrs. Waling told
no one of her mission, but il was known
here this afternoon that she would be here
and would be received at the residence on
her mission for mercy in behalf of her son.
Mrs Walling's visit was fruitess. She
was received at the Bryan homestead in
generous hospitality by the family. but
when she made a plea for a word from the
family to Governor Bradley il was declined,
but there was no expression of vindctive-
ness. The Bryans feel that they could in
no wise influence the Governor in the case
no matter what they might say, were they
so inclined. but they have no inclination in
that line and feel that the law must take
its course, saying that the matter is now
with the Kentucky authorities. Mrs. Wall
ing expressed satisfaction that she had been
kindly received and after spending an hour
at the residence returned to the city and
will leave on an early train for Covington,
Ky. Mrs. Walling was accompanied by a
Miss Miller, of Covington. The distressed
mother was much broken in spirit, and
considerable sympathy was expressed for
the old lady. Her trip proves conclusiveiy
that there will be no WORD in favor of

THE NEW TARIFF BILL.
Mr.. Dingiey Says IL Will BE Ready
Soon After Congress Meets.

WASHINGTON, March 9-Chairman
Dingley, of the ways and means committee.
said to-day that he expected the new tariff
bill would be ready to introduce in the
House very soon after Congress assemblies.
Speaking of the report that the law might
provide that the duties assessed should go
into effect Immediately on the introduction
of the bill, Mr.. Dingley said that it would
be impossible, under our Constitution, to
make a law retroactive. Duties, he said,
must be assessed according to the law on
the statute books at the time goods were
imported. The law could provide that goods
still In bond should pay the new duty IL
they had not been withdrawn from bond at
the time the law went into effect. The COM
mittee to-day had under consideration the
sugar schedule. but reached no definite con-
clusion regarding It. The free list schedule
was completed. Nearly all the remaining
articles which had not been disposed of and
which were dutiable under the Mckinley
law have been restored to the dutiable list
at a rate somewhat less than the McKn-
ley rates. These additions to the dutiable
list include some chemicals used in the
manufacture of soaps. and II may be neceS-
sary 10 Increase the duty which had been
placed on soaps i'm the first draft OF the
bill To make up for this change as to raw
materials. The pottery schedule has not

rates Of the Mckinley law snail be restored
or specific duties imposed.
The committee to-day agreed unani-
mously TO impose specific duties on sugar
They made the duty on sugar testing SO

cents. Above and below 96 degrees the
duty will correspond, being 5-l00 of cent
more for each degree above 90 and 3-100 of
a cent less for each degree below &C. This
will make the duty about one cent for
sugar OF 20 degrees or less. Ii was agreed
that the discriminating duty against sugar
from export bOunty-paying countries
should he the net amount of the export
bounty. II will vary with each country as
the export bounty varies. For purposes of
reciprocity the President was authorized to
reduce the duty Il of "A cent a pound, or
1212 cents hundred pounds, when coming
