SOME IDEA OF THE NEW TARIFF BILL

tks Ehite House conference Of Mon
ssssA Aes emmy es saeas.
ure fofsthe general 3rsduction of sdn.
ties contained in the bill, the sub
committee has Incorporated several
provisions that are expected to In
crease the revenues. These provi-
sions are remedial In character, tend
ing tosprevent undervaluations and
other methods by which the ambig-
uity Of the Dingley bill is taken ad-
vantage Of. .-
To prevent the practice by which
goods imported are not assessed at
their full value, the committee has
incorporated provision which will
make It possible for the appraiser
to base the value on articles accord
ing to the wholesale market prices
at the point Of production. The pro-
vision states that in the absence of
evidence regarding the wholesale
price In. the foreign countries in
which the: article is manufactured,
the appraisers may assess the ad val
oram duty on a price which shall
not be less than the wholesale price
in this country, less the cost Of trans
portation. This provision is in the
nature ola compromise to those in
terests that sought to have all ad
valorem duties assessed entirely ac-
cording To the whole sale market
prices IN this country.

Wheat for May and July DeIiv.
cry Going Upward.

Chicago, May 5.-July wheat on the
board of trade made sensationally
bullish showing, advancing from SLIP,
the low point of the day, to $1.16, at
which the market closed This marked
a net advance of 81 cents. May
closed at SIPS. The market has been
advancing steadily for the last week,
: following the spectacular decline
which set af1oat reports that James
A. Patten had dropped out of the mar.
ket. The days high prices were ~
cents under the best price of the bull
campaign for May and only 2% cents
below the July record. -
Bartlett, Patten & Co., of which the
bull leader, James A. Patten, is a
member, were credited with selling
May on moderate scale, but with
making heavy purchases of July.
The days advance, on top of the
gradual gains of last week, is said to
indicate clearly that the bull cam
paign, which was alleged in many
quarters to be dead, was only sleep
ing. a
The closing figures were 10 cents
higher than the bottom reached on
April 81 last.

NOT In FEAR OF A PROBE

Ready to Undergo Congressional In.

Congress Aside From Murphy OF
Missouri, Who Introduced the Res.
oIution, Thinks Such a Course is
Necessary.
St. Louis, May 5.-Judge Smith Nc
Pherson issued long statement here
reviewing his work in the Missouri
rate cases and defending the course
taken by him in those trials. He as
serted his willingness to undergo a
congressional investigation IF any
one member Of congress aside from
Mr.. Murphy thinks there should be
such a committee" and added that the
Missouri congressman had done Judge
Philips a great wrong" as the latte,
had practically nothing whatever to
do with these Missouri rate cases."
Kansas City, May 5.-Judge John
f. Philips of the United States circuit
court of this city, whose official con-
duct, together with that of Judge
Smith MCPHERSON of Red Oak, Ia,
was criticised in a resolution intro
duced in the house of representatives
by Congressman Murphy of Missouri,
has decided not to ask for a congress
sional investigation of the charges.
Judge Philips had contemplated
sending telegram to Speaker Can
non asking for the appointment of a
congressional Investigating commit
tee, but upon deeper reflection decid-
ed that such procedure would be
bad precedent, as well as somewhat
irregular, as congress would have no
jurisdiction in the premises unless
impeachment proceedings were start
ed. Judge Philips also reconsidered
his determination to make a formal
statement for publication, deciding it
would be unwise to do so. He said a
statement. of his in relation to the
Missouri rate cases would be unsatis-
factory to him, as it would be con.
strued as shifting all the responsible
ity upon Judge Mcpherson 'tThat
would be humanity and unchivalrous,"
said Judge Philips.
