CUBAN TARIFF REVISED,
4 Number of Changes Made In order
to Stimulate Trude

w
Washington, May 1.-THE war depart
ment has made public simultaneously here
and in Havana the schedules of the revised
Cuban tariff which goes into effect June
10 The revised tariff. It is calculated,
VIII slightly increase the revenues OF the
island. which were last year approximate
ly $4,000, 900, The preliminary purpose
OF the revision OF the Porter tariff Is not
to provide against deficiency of revenue,
but 10 stimulate importationa from the
United states The trade between Cuba
and the United States has not been aug
mented since the American occupation,
and even the application of the Porter
tariff was not attended by any benefit in
the increase in the aggregate volume of
trade. OF he Imports into cuba less Than
80 per cent originated in the United states.
The Porter tarin made sweeping cuts ia
the old Spanish tariffs. and in the very
beginning attention was directed TO food
products, IL was felt to be Just that these
neceesarics OF life should sustain as little
tax as possible SO cattle were admitted
at a duty OF 81 per head, and the food
stuns generally only paid 10 per cent al
yalarem. Tho military authorities IN
charge Of the island were surprised to Wit
ness the effect OF these changes, the prices
OF food did not 20 down In Cuba; several
staples at least actually advanced The
tariff revlseTs felt that they could do little
to meet this strange situation and recon-
monded that the few changes they sub
mited be tested for another year before
more radical measures are employed.
/ Therefore about the only important reduc-
ton made by them in the food schedules
Il in the duty en- salt cod and stock iisn
largely consumed In Cuba), which is re-
duced from So to 81, and in the duty on
wheat -four. reduced from $3.50 to 81
There are many other changes In the
other schedules. however.
The duty on bovine animals. excepting
calves and heifers has been increased
from 81 to 50, and the paragraph on hides,
skins boots and shoes, has been entirely
remodeled,
Special provision has been made for cot
ton seed oil for food which is now placed
in the same category as olive oil
Il has been apparent to all acquainted
with the working Of the Cuban tarln tha'
7he rates Of duty put upon the scheuuis
for machinery and railroad materials ane
supplies. nearly 40 per cent ad vaiorem, u
to high.
A special provision has been inserted "a
the tariff which allows railroad companle,
TO import these supplies into the isisnt
for q period Of twelve months from en-
date OF PRONUNCIATION at rate OF 10 POI
cent ad yalorem.
Some few changes have been made !

being made and one or two articles peini

Northern Methodists Demand EN-
forccment ot Cnntccn Law

Northern Mcthodists Demand En-
forccment Of Cnntcen Law
chicago, May 1i.--The Methodist Epis-
copal general conference committee on
temperance, OF which Samuel Dickic of
Michigan Is chairman, and of which Con
gresham NJ. n Johnson OF North pa
kota, author and champion of the anti
canteen law. is a member, adopted resolu-
tons today which. in the minds of num-
Der of the committeeman. Is direct slap
at President Mckinley, because OF his ae-
quiescene in the decision OF Attorney GEN
eral Griggs declaring the law ineffective.
The resolutions area portion OF the re-
port OF a subcommittee into whose hands
the task OF preparing the committees re-
port to the general conference had been
placed, aud was adopted In the face OF
a motion to substitute for it minority
report from DR.. j. +. Price OF the New
York conference after two hours debate
In which the members alternately ar
raigned and champloned President Nc
Kinley in his stand on the anti-canteen
law The report read as follows.
We are chagrined Inundated and
exasperated by the puerile and absurd
construction placed upon the anti
cAnteen law. so-called, by the attor-
ney general of the United States. and
with all due respect for his exalted
station we record the fact that We
are panied and disappointed at the
| course of the president in accepting as
final and satisfactory an opinion with
| such binding force. SUCH AN
ABUSE OF POWER rs NULLGFICA-
| TON IN IT'S MOST DANGEROUS
FORM. Upon the president. as COM
mander-i chief Of our army, rests
the responsibility for the canteen
saloon. an evil which he has ample
power to suppress and which, to
quote the Episcopal address, "is
more deadly foe TO the soldier than
bullet or tropic heat"
We urge upon the president an early
exercise OF the power vested in him
to the end that the authority of the
government, instead of being used
to place temptation before the soldier,
shall he used TO save him. as far az
possible from the neral hazards Incl
dent TO military life.
