TARIFF BILL WINS
BY SMALL MARGIN
HOUSE GIVES A MAJORITY OF
12 FOR THE REPORT.
20 REPUBLICANS OPPOSE
Payne Predicts Chaos If Bill Is De-
feated-Clarlx Says Revision
Is Really Upward.

Washington, d. C.-The House
Saturday adopted the conference re-
port on the tariff bill, 1876 to 1873.
Twenty Republicans voted against
the report and two Democrats for it.
The entire Pacific Northwest delega-
ton, except Poindexter, of Washing
ton, voted for the bill.
Mann of Illinois, in sensational
speech said he would vote against
the report unless the rates on pulp
and print paper as reduced by the
house were retained. He declared
that Canada would take such action
regarding pulp wood and print paper
as to place an almost prohibitory
price upon paper in this country.
Payne appealed to his Republican
colleagues to stand by the bill, say
ing that if they wanted to drive their
party into chaos they could vote
against it. But he said it would be
a delusion to vote against the bill
upon the idea that the Dingley rates
WOulG De continued.
Payne estimates that the increase
of revenue that would result from
the enactment of the bill will be
$40, 100000 annually.
Average Rate Higher.

imposed on by being made to believe
that the conference report was really
revision downward. Clark sub
mitted table showing that the av-
erage rate of the report is 1.73 per
cent higher than the average rate
of the Dingley law. If scores of new
items in the report, but not in the
Dinsley law, were added, Clark said,
the average increase would be at
least 2 per cent.
Legislation was held up Monday
by the hide and leather question, and
the conferees were called together.
Western Senators complained that
the leather schedule, as arranged by
the conferees with the approval of
the President, is unfair to the states
interested in protected hides. The
Westerners say they had been led to
believe that all boots and shoes of
leather were to be dutiable at 10
per cent, and that all harness was to
be dutiable at 20 per cent When
the conference report was read, ii
appeared that the reductions applied
only to articles manufactured in

were to be made free of duty

Boggs was shown the printing plant
again, and again asked to see the stock
of paper This was shown to him, and
there was enough OF 1t to have made
millions OF dollars IL 1t had only been
the real article. Boggs seemed salts
fed, but he wanted to see few bills
printed. Hank was up a stump here,
but he explained that his printer was
at the bedside of dying mother and
there was no telling when he would
report for duty again and he, Hank,
knew as little of the art as a new born
babe.
Boggs had surreptitiously appro'
priated a corner OF one of the sheets of
paper. and that night, at his room, he
compared II with the material of one
of his own bills, and he saw that 1t
was quite different in texture, nor was
there a suspicion of silk thread in II
that he could find. He knew by this
that he was dealing with real crooks,
and he set about to circumvent them.
On the occasion of his former pur-
chase he had held on to his money
until the other was in his pocket, and
he figured that he could work It again
so as soon as the bank opened next
morning he bought $4,000 OF New
York exchange and forwarded 1t by
registered mail to his home bank
Next he bought two pairs or hand
cuffs at a sporting goods house, bot
tie of liquor, and some drugs. How he
knew what drugs to buy no one ever
learned, but Boggs was crafty scoun-
drel, and Il is said that he was many
things other than simple farmer be-

from which they were printed and the
printing plant. This was something
that Hank hadn't counted on. He said
it was impossible. but Boggs was as
adamant and refused to invest a dollar
unless they showed him. Hank agreed
to do so the next day, and during the
night he bought small hand-press
and some ink and had half-tone plates
made of both sides of the three de-
nominations of the bills that he was
purporting to have in such profusion,
tens, twenties and fifties. He figured
that Boggs wouldn't know the differ
ence between half-tone plate and a
steel plate. There was one matter he
overlooked, and that was the paper on
which to print his bills.
Boggs was conducted, with great
secrecy. to the printing plant which,
as matter of fact, was on the floor
above the room where the profusion
of money was displayed He examined
everything minutely and expressed his
satisfaction with everything. Then he
wanted to see the stock of paper, hav-
ing learned somehow that government
bills were printed on a specially pre-
pared paper. Here he seemed to have
Hank, but that gentleman was ready
for the emergency. He regretted ex-
ceedingly that his paper supply was
exhausted. Indeed, he said, It was a
specially prepared paper. and his con-
federates were then engaged in manu-
featuring a large quantity of it. but II
would not be ready for use for some
two or three weeks.
This seemed TO satisfy Boggs for
the time, but he wanted to see the
paper being made Hank was stumped
here for fair and had to decline, say
ing the process was so secret that
even he had never visited the place
Boggs accepted this explanation to all
appearances, but as matter Of fact
he was not satisfied in his own mind
His suspicion was aroused to the last
degree and he made a resolution to

see the paper before he invested
heavily.
Nevertheless. he invested 500 in
the money. part of the 5000 he had
secured In having the four bills
changed, getting for 1t $1,000, which
he counted with great care, examining
each bill as 1t was handed over to him.
Hank had carelessly thrust a bundle
containing a thousand dollars at
Boggs, but the farmer had united II
and looked at every bill on both sides
before he paid over the 500 agreed
upon. He returned to his swamps and
passed the money with so little diff
Guilty that he soon wrote Hank and
arranged to come on to New York and
take his entire stock and trade. This
was what Hank had been playing for
and he counted on getting his $1,100
back and a lot more besides.
He made preparations accordingly,
drawing out of the bank some s45, ZOO,
the net proceeds of his years of swim
ding, and laying in stock Of paper
that he thought would fool the farmer.
He had a grip built especially for this
transaction, an ingenious contrivance
with a false bottom. The grip was a
plain alligator handbag and in the
deviltry of its construction II was a
work of art. Hank knew that he
couldn't palm OF bundles of green pa
per, veneered with bills. on the shrewd
farmer, and he didn't have much faith
i'm switching grips on him. His plan
was to let the farmer place the bills in
the grip while II stood on table. The
bills dropped through hole in the
table and down through a pipe to the
room below where they were caught
in basket and brought up to Hank
by his confederate as they were need
ed, for Hank had to make his 5000
serve for 100000.
Boggs arrived In due time, and he
had with him, as Hank had taken the
precaution to learn from Boggs own
