that the receipts of that department

period covered by the report were
$61,376.
There were incorporated during
the period twenty-five social and COM
mercial corporations, twenty fratern-
al corporations, 1875 religious and
edumational corporations, 1,949 DOM
este corporations for various pur-
poses, 1875 state banks. with a capt.
tai of s1,167.900. Two hundred
and fifty foreign corporations enter
ed the state. Three hundred and
three resident agents for foreign cor.
porations, and 661 resident agents
for domestic corporations were ap.

TARIFF ON TOBACCO is O. X.
Republicans and Democrats Agreed
on That Schedule.

Washington, Nov. 13.-From the
attitude assumed by both the repub-

house committees on ways and
meansat todays' hearing on the pro-
posed revision of the tariff, it became
evident that there is general satisfac-
ton with the present duties on tobac-
co. The democrats appear content
with the high tariff on tobacco on
the ground that tobacco is product
on which the government should de-
rive revenue, while the republic
cans favor the present rates because
they offer protection to the Ameri-
can tobacco growing industry.
