THU TARIFF TO WAIT.
New Philippine Schedule Probably With
held Until Insular Gases Are Decided.
A CHANGE MAY BE UNNECESSARY.
ever, without Interruption Several
ReVIsIons Advised - The Clause that
Dairymen Ask For.

WASHINGTON, April 22.-It is not
likely that the new Philippine tariff
will be promulgated until after the de-
| cision of the supreme court in the in
sular case. 1t is stated at the War
department, where the matter has re-
ceived consideration, that this decis-
ion may make it unnecessary for the
government to establish a system of
tariff rates in the Philippines, al
though the department has proceeded
with the work of equalizing the rates
and receiving and considering sugges-
tions, as though the coming decision
would not max any change in the
present conditions.
Some months ago the War depart
ment published the tariff as prepared
by the tariff experts in the Philippines
and approved by the Taft commission,
Interested parties, especially manufac
turers and shippers, were invited to
examine this proposed tariff and make
suggestions and criticisms. 1t is in
teresting to note that of the 419 par
agraphs in the proposed tariff only 33
paragraphs have provoked criticism or
suggestion. Even these are in a mild
tone and nearly all take the form of
suggestion. Some of the more impor-
tant suggestions are embodied in the
following:
1t is suggested that there will be
difficulty in making duties specific and
that il many cases perhaps ad valor-
EN- duties will be better. There are
some objections to the metric system,
as American goods are in yard folds
and European goods are in metric
folds. If the yard folds are continued
it would be better for the American
manufacturers.
The Manila Chamber of Commerce
asks that four months intervene be-
tween the PRONUNCIATION Of the tariff
and its enforcement. No provision is
made for marking oleomargarine to
distinguish it from butter. The dairy
interests think such a provision desir-
able. A lower rate is asked for gas
oline to be used for fuel and for
launches. An ad valorem duty is ad-
vised upon precious stones and
watches. One firm suggests that cop
peras and oxide should be upon the
free list.
1t is claimed that cotton yarn should
not be admitted at a lower rate than
fabrics woven from such yarn, also
that the weight and washing of cot
ton tissues should be changed in the
interest of the coarser cotton fabrics.
There has been quite an extensive dis
cussion of this subject and it has been
pointed out that the changes in the
Cuban tariff also were needed in this
particular.
The free entry of news print pa
per is advocated. Reductions are ask
ed from 20 to 40 per cent on harness
and saddle makers wares. 1t is sug-
gested that cheap and expensive ma
chinery should not pay the same
rates. Certain typewriter firms want
the duty on their machines reduced.
A change is asked in the classifca-
ton of meat products. 1t is said that
the duty on alcohol should be dou-
bled or manufacturers of whisky will
be able to use the alcohol for making
whisky at much less than the distilled
product.

An Indiana man has lately received
from the treasury department at
Washington a check for cents In
recognition of an excessive settlement
made by him with the government
fourteen years ago, when he was post
master of village in that state. And
yet he does not propose TO have the
check cashed, but will have it framed
and hung up in his house as evidence
of Uncle Sans squareness. He Is as
generous and appreciative as is Bos-

who sent a poem to a New York peri
odical and received a check for 50 in
payment therefor. The poet pocketed
the insult, and the uncashed check

FARM WORK DELAYED.
Climate and Crop Service Bulletin Says
Weather Interferes.

Weather Interferes.
LINCOLN, Neb., April 2O.-G. A.
Loveland, director of the Nebraska
section of climate and crop service,
has issued the following crop bulle-
tin:
The last week has been cold and
wet, with less than the normal amount
of sunshine. The daily mean temper
ature for the week has averaged two
degrees below the normal. The range
of temperature has been small, the
minimum temperature generally being
above freezing and the maximum be-
tween so and 60 degrees.
Cloudy weather, with showers, has
prevailed during the week. and the
rainfall has been above normal in
nearly all parts of the state. In the
northeastern counties along the Mis-
souri, river the rainfall was but little
more than quarter Of an inch, or
about half the normal amount. In
most of the central and western coun-
ties the rainfall exceeded an inch, and
in the south central part Of the state
it ranged from two to three inches.
The wet weather has retarded farm
work in all except the extreme north
eastern counties, where fair progress
has been made and considerable wheat
sown. In other counties some wheat
and oats were sown the first of the
week and some seed remained uncov-
cred during the rains of the last half
Of the week. A very little plowing
for corn has been done. The work is
about ten days behind normal ad-
Vancement on the 18th of April. Win
ter wheat and rye have grown well
and continue in fine condition. Grass
is starting slowly.

new line is ready for use. The railroads
would then get rid Of grade crossings; there
would not be more than four in the entire

ately after leaving the tunnel on the east
end by the Eastern branch. and on leay-
ing the west end Of the tunnel they would
be bounded on the south by the same

control of the water front and they could
never be crowded by buildings Of any kind.

side Of the river, as well as have their
round houses for engines there. OF course,
from LIST street west on p street would
