Administrative Features
Adopted by C0nferees

Practically all of the administrative
features of the bill which were adopted
In the Senate were accepted by the con-
ferees. They include a new maximum
and minimum feature, a corporation tax
law instead Of the inheritance tax adopt
ed by the House. authorization for a
bond issue to raise money to build the
Panama canal, as well as numerous other
features.
The maximum and minimum provision
prescribes duties in accordance with the
rates named in the dutiabe list until
March 81, 1910. when . per cent ad val
orem is to be added automatically as the
maximum duty The President Is author
lied to apply the minimum rates, how
ever. to imports from a country which
gives its best rates to the products of the
United States, and is made the judge as
to whether a foreign country accords to
the United States treatment which is re-
ciprocal and equivalent. When he finds
that this condition exists he is to issue
proclamation putting in effect the mimi
mum rates, and until the time OF the
proclamation the maximum rates viii
apply.
The President is empowered to employ
such persons as may be required to Sc
cure information to assist the President
in the discharge of the duties imposed
upon him and information which will be
in the administration of the customs
laws. The reciprocity treaty with Cuba
is not affected by the maximum and min
imum provision.
The President is empowered also to b
rogate those reciprocity treaties which
can be terminated by diplomatic action.
1t is made his duty to give ten days no.
tice after the bill becomes a law of his
intention to bring those treaties 10 an

stipulation in regard to their termination
by diplomatic action shall be abrogated

to the amount of such bounty.
1t is required that all imported articles
capable of being marked without impair
ment of their value shall be stamped
with the name OF the manufacturer and
the country of origin.
A very elaborate provision for the adj
ministraton of the customs laws was
adopted by the conferees. II is practical
ly the same as that adopted by the Sem
ate. 1t is intended to prevent undervalu-
alton of articles on which there is no for

The provision granting farmers the free

on the retail dealer which requires him to
record of every sale amounting to two
pounds or more to one person in one day.
A number of other ironclad requirements
are included in the redraft of this section
adopted by the conference committee. by
which it was intended to prevent any
frauds upon the internal revenues and at
the same time give as much Of a local

The grower had commended for unre-

ANNAPOLIS. Md, July 30.-Capt. ]. NJ
Bowyer. superintendent of the Naval
Academy, stated emphatically yesterday
afternoon his determination to put stop
to the practice of selling or supplying in
toxicants to candidates for the Naval
Academy and midshipmen. which. he
said, was prevalent in Annapolis.
The statement was made to a delegation
of ministers of the different denomina-
tons of Annapolis, who visited him by
appointment
He said to the ministers that they rep
resented the moral side of Annapolis, and
he asked them to aid him in his fight to
suppress the furnishing Of liquor TO the
young men connected with the Naval
Academy.
Annapolis Will Suffer.
Unless there is a practical prohibition
of the practice, he said, he will recon-
mend that candidates should prepare for
entrance elsewhere than in Annapolis

Chairman Payne's Analysis
of the New Tariff Bill

MIR. Payne's statement to the House to-
day comprised an analysis of the bill,
showing both the increases and the de-
creases, but this detailed presentation
was preceded by a general summary, in
which he undertook to show the extent
of revenue increases and decreases ac-
cording to schedules. According to this
showing the total increases were on i'm
portations valued at 1885,, 512,525. and
the total decreases on importatons
amounting to s4.97s, 122,l24.
In this preliminary statement Mr.
Payne said that he had had made an
investigation based on the census returns
of 1905. showing the amount of domestic
consumption of articles upon which
duties have been raised. and also the
articles upon which duties have been
lowered by the bill as finally reported
from the conference committee. This
had been done because comparisons had
been made, based upon the amount OF
mportations, he said.
Duties, he said, have been lowered
where they were too high under the
present law. sometimes prohibitive in
character, and for that reason the i'm
portations were compa ratively small. On
the other hand. they have been raised
in some instances where the tariff is in
sufficient for protection and the importa-
tions were very great

partment, with whom he had recent,

talked.
AS indicative of the attitude of the
liquor by midshipmen, Capt Bowyer re-
ferred to the dismissal Wednesday. for
an offense of the kind. of a midshipman
who was on the summer practice feet.
THE ministers were delighted at the
strong stand taken by Capt. Bower, and
pledged him their support.
The suggestion that the authorities
might recommend that candidates pre-
pare for the Naval Academy away from
Annapolis will cause CONSERVATION in this
city when it becomes known. There are
two large and ffourishing schools devoted
to the preparation of candidates for the
Naval Academy. and their students are
the main support of many boarding
houses here. Limiting the attendance at
these schools would be a serious blow to
Annapolis.
Not Easy to Convict.
While the cases where it has become
publicly known that liquor has been fur
nished to candidates or midshipmen in
Annapolis have not been specially nu-
merous lately. it is we'll known here that
such trade has continued over many
years. Capt. Bowyer is we'll aware of the
fact and is determined TO break up the
practice.
A peculiar provision of the law applica-
BILE to Annapolis makes liquor dealers
who sell to minors or others in the pro-
hibfted class almost immune 1t is a
| complete defense to show that sales were
| made by an agent against the instruc-
tons of the owner.
With this provision it has been found
| almost impossible to secure conviction
though sales to midshipmen and Others
have been proved conclusively.

Where Rates Were Changed.

He then gave the following table, which
shows the consumption value of articles
on which rates of duty have been in
creased and decreased in all cases where
the amount of production could be as
