THE CHINESE TARIFF.

Duties Are Specific and Ad vaIorem.
BY Associated Press:
Washington, April 10. - Regarding
the proposed arrangement Of the Chin
ese customs duties which will play a
prominent part in the present peace
negotiations between the powers and
China, the bureau of the German en-
pire for the preparation of CONNER
cial treaties has made an interesting
report which United States Consul
Sawter, at Glauchau, has transmitted
to the department OF state. The re-
port in part says:
''The socalled sea duties, those which
are levied on the goods entering Chin
ese ports, are determined by treaties
and are in part specific and in part ad
valorem duties. All goods not parti-
ularly named are subject to an ad va
loren duty of per cent. the same be-
ing based on the market value there
of. AS regards determining such mar
ket value the treaty says that If the
merchant cannot agree with the
Chinese official on the question at
issue each party shall call in two or
three manufacturers to examine the
goods. The highest price at which
one of such manufacturers will be
willing to buy the goods shall be &C.
cepted as the valne thereof. In ad-
dition to the import tariff there is an
export tariff. The articles not enum-
Grated in the import tariff which are
specified from the export tariff mus:
when imported pay the same duties as
those imposed upon them in the ex-
port tariff. he so-called sea duties.
however, as is we'll known are not
the sole tax imposed, supplementary
charge being levied in the form of the
intermediate duties known as 'liken."
Anent the rates of such intermediate
duties the treaties merely state that
they are levied according to the prin-
ciples ruling at the time when treaties
are made, and that they cannot be
raised subsequently. This condition
has proved to be perfectly impractical
BILE. The intermediate duties have
degraded into purely arbitrary
charge in which the local Chinese
officials seek and find their principal
source of income. There is but one
single means of ren,edying this ever
increasing evil, namely, to do away
with this intermediate duty under the
present negotiations as a part of the
terms of peace. To do this it will
be necessary to assent to an increase
of the sea duties in order to secure to
the central Chinese government the
income necessary to deal with the
question of compensation consequent
upon such an administration charge"

COL. BRECKINRlDGE's OPINION
On the Future Course of the National
Democratic Party.

Lexington, Ky, June lin reply
to a letter asking for his views on the
reorganization of the democratic
party and future issues, Col w. G. r.
Breckenridge, former democratic con-
gresham, says:
"The American people will never
consent to such legislation concerning
the currency as will put into statute
the views of Mr.. Bryan. 1t is equally
true that the American people will not
approve of the territorial policy advo-
Gated by Mr.. Bryan. For the next few
years the currency issue and the ex-
pansion issue, rendered by the demo
cratic party and accepted by the re-
publican party, have been settled
In the same letter he says: 1--WE
are therefore confronted with this ac-
tual state of facts. 1t is impossible to
win without such a nominee and plat
form as will secure the support of
those democrats who refused to vote
for Mr.. Bryan in 1896 and 1900, and
it is also impossible TO win without
the cordial support of the regular dem
ocratic party. 1t has occurred to me
that the issue in 1904 might be our re-
lations with our new possessions. That
the principle promulgated by the SUI
preme court in the late opinions will
be accepted by the people is certain"
After outlining the questions in
volved Col Breckenridge says: 10
adopt this policy does not require that
any democrat should retract any ut
terance heretofore made, or apologize
for any course heretofore pursued"

MRS. YATES
LOCKED UP
IN CONNECTION WITH DEATH OF
JASPER N. WRIGHT.
SWHEN PUT ON THE STAND SHE
CoNTRADIcTED HERSELF.
THEORY THAT WRIGHT WAS
SMOTHERED WITH A CARPET.

st. Louis, Mich, June 1.-THE find
Ing of the body of Jasper n. Wright in
the woods was followed by the arrest
OF Mrs. Charles Yates. The theory of
the prosecution is that Wright was
smothefed by a carpet found nearby.
The defense will try to prove that
death was caused by heart disease.
The coroner's inquest began at 10
O'Clock yesterday morning. Mrs.
Yates was called to the stand and
stated that she stepped on the body
while gathering wild flowers, and was
SO frightened that she ran back home
and told her husband, who with a
nelghbor, found the body. The dead
mans watch was still running, the
time being 9 SO. Mrs. Yates admitted
In response to questions that she
knew the dead man, and that they had
had conversations about which her
husband knew nothing. She admitted
going to Wright's house and then
broke down and sobbed violently. She
was excused until after dinner and her
husband called.
Mr.. Yates said he did not know
Wright except by sight, and stated
that he was aware of gossip which
connected the name of his wife with
that of Wright. In response to ques-
lions he said his wife had promised
not to go to Wright's house again. He
admitted there had been a little family
difficulty with Wright, and said that
when the body was discovered he did
not know the man, although they had
lived as neighbors
After dinner Mrs. Yates was again
called to the stand, and at first con-
tradicted herself and her husband.
Then she broke down and confessed
that she was present when Wright
died. She disclaims any hand in his
death. She said that she met him by
appointment in the woods. Wrights
brother testified that Yates had a
grudge against him.
When Mrs. Yates was ordered under
arrest she shouted: who's that you're
arresting; remember there are five
young children to care for"
The coroner's inquest has been ad-
journed until June 13.
