NEW PHILIPPINE TARIFF.
Hope to Make Duties Tlccnty-fUe
Per Cent of DingIey Rates.
tFRoM THE TRIBUNE BUREAU

Washington Nov. "a systematic effort TO
enact a new tariff law covering imports from
the Philippines will. according TO Senator
Lodge, be made this session by the Republi-
can leaders. It il not believed that it would
be practicable at this time to remove the en-
tire tariff from Philippine imports, but it is
hoped that the tariff law originally framed by
the last Congress may be enacted. That. it
will be remembered reduced the tariff on
Philippine imports into the United States TO
% per cent of the Dingley rates. The measure
received the approval Of the House and was
earnestly supported in the Senate by Senators
Lodge, Foraker and other leaders. but COM
promise finally made with the opposition
in the upper, chamber by which a reduction or
80 per cent was provided. 1t was largely due
to the limited time at the disposal of the SEN
ate that this concession was made to the op-
ponents of the bill, and il is the belief OF
those who then advocated the 20 per cent re-
duction that with time at its disposal
this Congress will be able TO amend the pres
ent law so that all imports from the Philip
pine Islands VIII be required 20 pay only 20
per cent Of the Dingley rates.

Calkins Of Columbia University. before the New

the American Museum OF Natural History. The
address which illustrated. was based on ma
terial collected during the smallpox epidemic in
Boston two years ago.
Dr. Calkins said In part:

the skin after vaccination. In all cases they are

cluded that the germs were specific organisms

generalization that vacCinia is disease caused By

Albany Nov. 9.--Jacob A. RiiS and Governor
Oden spent hour at the executive mansion to-
day discussing the affairs of the House of Refuge
on RandaIrs Island. Mr.. Riis, whose charges of
mismanagem against the institution provoked
official Investigations, told the Governor about the
conditions the island. and asked him to recon-
mend the legislature the removal of the insttu-
ton to some suta bic farm in the neghborhood OF
New-YoTk. TEe house at present. he said was not
conducted on a sensible plan; no effective reform
could be accomplished by a board OF thirty man
ayers. Mr. Ris said he wanted 10 turn Randars
Island into park and that he would not rest IN

A committee OF the State Board Of Charities
which is investigating the affairs Of the House OF

WOMAN HERMIT DEAD.
Worth $500 900, Her Neighbors Say
$50 900 Found.

Mrs Mary Oliver, eighty-six years old, a
widow hermit. who had the reputation in the
neighborhood of being a miser. died in her
squalid basement at No. 2,293 Second-aNe'
some time yesterday. She was found dead last
night. A rumor that she had been murdered
spread about. and attracted a crowd. but the
police investigation disproved it. The woman
owned the house she lived in. and the two
beside it, and others, it is said. while neighbors
repute her to have been worth at least 100000.
The old woman was cared for by the Rev.
James Alderdyce, who after becoming too OLD
to serve in the pulpit. took place as collector
for the Bible Society. He has daughter,
Elizabeth, who helped him keep the house
and take care of Mrs Oliver. He had not
been at work for some weeks on account Of
apoplexy. When the daughter arrived home last
night she could not find her father. Finally
she saw him lying in the yard. He was uncon-
scious from an apoplectic stroke
The young woman shrieked and Policeman
Bowden summoned an ambulance surgeon from
the Harlem Hospital. He took the minister
away The daughter then went in to see how
Mrs Oliver was She found the old woman in
her squalid room. on a bed almost of rags.
She appeared to be unconscious. and the young
woman again called in Policeman Bowden.
He summoned DR.. Krauskopf. of Harlem Hos
pital again. and this time the doctor said a
death had occurred. He said the woman had
been dead eight or ten hours, and that death
was due to natural causes.
The police searched the womanS apartments
and found bundle of first mortgage bonds in
her favor on property in Harlem to the value
OF 81 900; $4,000 worth of life insurance
papers on her own life, and S22O0O worth of
