AMENDMENTS GUT OFF MILLIONS

stands in the law The Payne bill as it passed the house, like the Dingley bill when it went to the senate, places hides on the free list. Under the Dingley law, hides have produced a revenue exceeding three million dol lars annually.
 Throughout it's various provisions. in form. phraseology and rates of duty, there are many changes in the Payne bill as it stand to-day, from the provisions of the Dingley law. It's maximum and minimum retaliatory feature, the additional method of val uation for the purpose of preventing under valuations, and it's provision for the $40,000,000 issuance of Panama bonds and a $250.000,000 issue of treasury certificates, are now It ex- tends the drawback privileges so that domestic raw material may be used in lieu of imported material for the pur- pose of collecting a drawback, pro- vided an equal amount of identical imported raw material is manufactur- ed into the same product upon which the drawback is collected An inher- itance tax, by which it is hoped that s20,000 900 will be collected, is pro vided for The internal revenue law is expected to produce $1,500000 addi tional revenue because of the increase in the tax on cigarettes.
 Prominent Increases.
 The two increases over the Dingley rates that stand out most prominently in the Payne bill are those in the rates on women's and ehildren's gloves and hosiery. Cocoa, which is now imported free of duty. has been made dutiable at the rate of three cents per pound. Unmanufactured mica has been reduced one cent per pound and the manufacturers of mica have a duty levied upon them two cents per pound less than the Dingley rates. The duty on manufactured barytes has been doubled.

CoNSTANTiNoPlE IN TURMOIL AND WAR MINISTER IS SAID
 TO HAVE FLED.
VIRTUAL ANARCHY EXISTING
Young Turks Demand Dismissal of Two of SuItan's Ministers Uprising and Massacre
 Is Threatened

Contantinople, Turkey.-Two bat talions of mutinous troops are now surrounding the house of parliament. demanding the dismissal of Grand Vizier Hilmi Pasha, president of the Chamber of Deputies, and of Ali Riga Pasha, minister o1 war.
 The march of the troops from their quarters in the war ministry to the house of parliament caused intense excitement throughout the city and many shops were closed. The streets became deserted. It was at first feared that the soldiers intended at- taeking the cabinet.
 Representatives of the Sultan are parleying with the soldiers, but the latter are insistent in their demands, fraught with the gravest possibilities and the outcome is declared to be to the new regime
 Young Turks Foment Trouble.
 The outbreak is due to the long standing trouble between the Young Turks. who control parliament, and
 
 ever since the summary dismissal of former Grand Vizier kiamii Pasha who was their leader, and the ap- pointment to the post of Milmi Pasha, recognized as mere tool of the Young Turks.
 The immediate cause of the sol diers mutiny is the governments in- ability to pay them unless it dis misses a horde of the useless officials with which the Young Turks have hedged the new regime.
 The government is thus between two dilemmas The dismissal of the supernumerary officials would be ac- companied by the gravest conse- quences, inasmuch as the civil gov ernment is almost nonexistent.
 Virtual Anarchy.
 The Young Turks are so fearful of too much government in the new scheme of freedom that virtual an- archy exists under their rule. The Liberals demand a strong centraliza- tion and are consequently accused of seeking return of despotism.
 The clash between the Young Turks and the Liberals has brought about a reign of lawlessness and inter-racial outbreaks that makes the present sit uation the most alarming that has confronted Turkey since the revolu- tion.
 If the uprising of the troops suc- ceeds. massacre is declared to be imminent.
 Liberals are believed to have insti- tuted the outbreak by the argu- ment that parliament violated the constitution in passing the Austro- Turkish agreement which accepted the cessation to Austria of Turkish territory, though the vote by which this was accomplished was not of the required two-thirds majority.

AMENDMENTS IN HOUSE MATER ALLY REDUCE TARIFF
 RECEIPTS.
LOSS 0N INTERNAL REVENUE
In the Payne Bill, Form, Phraseology and Rates of Duty, There Are Many Changes From the
 Dnrley Law

Washington, D. C.-The estimates of the revenue which the Payne tariff bill will produce for the govern ment have been reduced nearly s2O.- 100000 through the amendments made to the measure before it's was passed by the house and the senate finance committee will have to provide means for making up this difference if the original estimates are to be met. The striking out of several countervailing duty clauses on which no estimates were made probably will lessen the bills produetiveness another s20,- 000,000.
 The amendment taking off the eight cent duty on tea subtracted S7,000 0000 from the estimated revenues The striking out of the countervailng duty on coffee and the maximum duty pro- vision for a rate of twenty per cent ad valorem on coffee coming from countries which do not give the United States the benefit of their most favor ed nation clause, disposes of what probably would be s15,000000 in dutiac

Lose on Lumber and Oil.

Taking out the eountervailing pro viso for lumber and for petroleum, two amendments made by the house, means a lost opportunity to increase the revenues by several million dol lars, it is estimated
 By repeating the manufacturers license tax for farmers desiring to sell the leaf tobacco which they raise, the house has withdrawn considerable revenue under the internal revenue law. < slight increase in revenue may be provided by the increased tax on Turkish filler tobacco, Dineapples and barley and barley malt.
 The senate finance committee mater tally reduced many of the schedules of the Dingley bill as il passed the house. but in order to increase the revenue producing power of the Payne bill that committee will have to take different action with regard to the latter measure The fifty or more amendments. all of which were offer ed by the ways and means committee, have added a few more changes to the Payne bill as compared to the present tariff.

Cousin Prosecutes Case.

George s. Tinklebaugh opened the case for Mrs. Sampson. The testimo- ny was brief. and in less than an hour Prosecutor Gilbert. himself a cousin of the defendant, had begun his argu- ment
 The address was without any at tempt al oratory. The district attor- ney simply outlined the case and ex- plained the weak points in the testi- mony of the defense, to the effect that Harry Sampson committed suicide.
 He took up the theory of murder and made out a strong circumstantial case against Mrs. Sampson.
 One Juror Asks Conviction.
 He completed his addres at 6 o'clock, and Judge Rich immediately began his charge. The court complet- ed his remarks in less than 20 min- utes, and the case was given to the jury at 6:30 o'clock
 The jury went out at 7:30, and the delay in reaching verdict is said to have been caused by one juror, who stood out for conviction.
