ADJUSTING THE TARIFF.
Washington Officials Strengthening
Out the Tangle.

Washington, Aug. lit is stated at
the war department that some COM
plants have been received from San
Francisco merchants and shippers re-
garding the new Philippine tariff and
that such complaints are referred to the
authorities in Manila for investigation
and correction. Officials say there is no
doubt that some technical faults exist
in the tariff, but the war department
will not undertake to make corrections
here without sufficient knowledge of ex-
listing conditions in the Philippines.
At present there is a board of officers
in the Philippines making a thorough
examination Of the tariff and it is ex-
pected that revision will be. recon-
mended by this board which will correct
the technical Irregularities as well as
make changes in the interest of Ameri-
can shippers. Under the peace treaty
Spain and all other countries are en-
titled to the same tariff rates as the
United states, but there is q movement
on foot to reduce the rates on all goods
which are manufactured in the United
States and with which other nations do
not compete.
This will give the United States large
advantages in the Philippines. While
the Manila board is acting upon sug-
gestions from Washington, it will be
governed largely upon the necessities
of the island in framing the tariff.

HICKS FOR AUGUST.
Predicts Some Very Hot Weather and
Some Very Cool Days.

August is under the combined inf1u-
ences of the earth's annual equinox and
the Venus period which is central on the
18th. The first regular storm period is
from the I'd to the 9Th, central on the
4th. All the usual indications of change
into storm conditions will appear about
the I'd in western extremes; the temper
ature will rise, the barometer will fall,
cloudiness will follow. and midsummer
storms will pass eastwardly over the
country, from the Sd to 5th. Cloudiness
and threatening weather will proba bly,
run into the reactionary disturbances,
central on the 9Th to 18th. About the
10th to 18th inclusive very marked storm
conditions will arise. Electrical storms
will visit many sections about the dates
named, with threatening clouds, high
winds and heavy rains southwark. Lo-
cal rains are probable over the country
generally. Very high temperature will
exist during most of the time included
especially about Sd to 9Th. and the 9Th
to 18TH. Thunder storms will probably
eliminate about the 18th and be fol-
lowed by a brief change to cooler.
From the 14th to 18th a regular storm
period viii fall. Very warm winds may
be expected, causing one of the hottest
terms of the summer Black clouds.
