FRANCE WILL
REVISE TARIFF
Proposed New Schedule Raises Many
Old Rates.
United States Exports Hard Hit by
New Rates Under Consideration
ard Business Men Anxious to See
What Action Will Result-Fresh
Fruits Suffer Most.

Washington, March 23.-The atten-
tion of American manufacturers will
not for the next few months be entire
ly focused upon the proposed tariff re-
vision in this country. France proposes
to revise its tariff, and in the changes
to be made the United States is vitality
interested. If the proposed French
tariff bill should be enacted into law
in its present shape, American trade
would be injuriously affected.
Some of interesting facts in regard
to the new measure are prepared by
N. l. Stone, tariff expert Of the de-
partment of commerce and labor.
1t is proposed to advance the general
ratelon canned meats of 20 francs per
100 kilos to 30 francs, an increase of
90 per cent, leaving the minimum rate
of 10 francs unchanged.
Under the existing agreement fresh
apples ard pears are admitted at the
rate of 2 francs per 100 kilos. 1t is
proposed to advance the minimum rate
to 5 francs, an increase of $50 per
cent, and to increase the general rate

increase the minimum rate on hops
from 80 to 40 francs, and the general
from as to 60 francs per 100 kilos.
Far more numerous are the tariff
changes on articles which are not af-
fected by the commercial agreement
between France and this country.
Among the more important of these
changes the following may be men,
toned, the race being given in francs
per 100 kilos
Meat extracts, general rate increased
from 40 to as francs; cotton seed, now
admitted free, to be subject to a duty
of 1.5O francs; peanuts, now admitted
free, to be subject to duty of 2.5C
francs, and preserved vegeta les, duty
increased from 20 to "a francs.

NEW JAP CRISIS IN SOUTH.
County officials in California Try tc

County Officials in California Try TO
Collect Poll Tax; Strike Snag.
Oxnard. CAL, March 22.-Serious
labor trouble is threatened in the beet
fields here over the situation created
by the attempt to collect a county poll
tax from the 450 Japanese living in
Oxnard and employed in the beet fields.
This attempt, after they had paid the
city tax In this city, caused great re-
sentiment. The sheriff and deputy as
SCISSORS in many instances seized horses
and goods owned by the Japanese and
later forced them to pay under threats
Of selling their property.
Some of the Japanese have already
left for other parts of the state where
Japanese labor is in demand, leaving
the beetgrowers in serious straits for
laborers.
Tonight the sheriff and assessor say
it is probable the county will recede
from its position and return the money
collected.

is complete. The strike leaders claim
that victory is within their grasp. The
