fs.imtaes Of Revenue Which Payne
Tariff Bill Will Produce Have
Been Greatly Reduced
by Amendments.
SCHEDULES CUT DOWN
Senate May do Some More Shaving
and Reduce Revenue Yield Still
Farther-one Item Cost
Seven Millions.

WASHINGTON, D. G., April 12.-
The estimates of the revenue which
the Payne tariff bill WI produce
have been reduced nearly s20.00O,O00
through the amendments made in the
house. The striking out of several
countervailing duty clauses on which
no estimates were made probably will
lessen the bills productiveness anoth-
er s2O,o0O,000.
The amendment taking off the s.
cent duty on tea substracted $1,000
900 from the estimated revenues. The
striking out of the countervailing duty
on coffee and the maximum duty for a
rate of 90 per cent ad valorem on cot
fee coming from countries which do
not give the United States the benefit
of their favored nation clause, dis
poses of what probably would be SIS,
100000 in duties.
Taking out the countervailing pro-
viso for lumber and for petroleum, two
amendments by the house, means a
lost opportunity to increase the rev
enues by several million dollars. 1t
is estimated by repeating the mnau
facturers' license tax for farmers de

they raise the house has withdrawn
considerable revenue under the inter
nal revenue law.

REPORT CRAZY
SNAKE KILLED
Rumor That Posse Killed and Quietly
Buried Outlaw Chief is Not
Credited by Officers and
Soldiers.
THEY THINK IT is A RUsE
Soldiers Believe Cunning Chief Him
self Conceived the Story in Or
der That He Might
Easily Escape.

HENRIETTA, Okla, April IA
report that Chief Crazy Snake was
killed March % and quietly buried by
IA posse of McKintosch county citizens
is generally discredited here. Col.
Hoffman and soldiers are still hunting
for the chief This rumor is that the
Indian was shot by the posse, who
were pledged members, and did not
disclose the fact. He was buried in a
thicket near the Tiger Mountains. One
member of the posse is said to have
forgotten the pledge and told the story.
He declared the grave was reopened
the day after the chief was slain SO that
there could be no mistake as to his
identity. The soldiers in the hunt still
firmly believe Crazy Snake is hiding in
the hills here. They say its like the
cunning of the chief himself to have
conceived such a story and credit 1t
to his friends who are endeavoring to
aid in his escape.
