TARIFF BILL PASSED
GLOVES AND STOCKINGS HIGHER
DUTY REMAINS ON LUMBER
PETROLEUM FREE.

washington, April 10.-After three
weeks of consideration, the Payne
tarin bill was passed by the house of
representatives by a vote of 217 to
161. One republican, Austin, of Ten
nessee, voted against the measure
and four democrats, all from Louisi
ana, voted for it. An attempt by
Champ CLARK, the minority leader,
to recommit the bill, with instructions
signally failed
While more consideration, in point
of time, has been given by the house
to the Payne bill, it was passed in
fewer days than the Dingley bill was
acted upon after being reported to
the house
One OF the principal changes effect
ed in the Payne bill was the placing
Of petroleum on the free list.
Among the other important amend
ments that have been made since the
bill came from committee are those
striking out the provision for a duty
on tea and the countervalling duty
FAOFAoO OAi NOnCC. AC Gll1llIudIlOH vi
the maximum duty of 20 per cent ON
coffee, contained in the maximum and
minimum section of the bill. was also
significant.
To the free list were added ever
green seedlings, cloves and nut oil,
which is used in making varnish The
drawback section was added to so
that it could not be taken advantage
of for the purpose of speculating in
grain, and the Philippine free trade
provision was amended so that the
rice will not be admitted free from
the islands. The countervailing duty
clause on lumber was stricken out,
but strong effort to place lumber
on the free list did not succeed.
The duties on barley, barley malt,
charcoal iron, pineapples in crates,
saccharine, medicated cotton, and cot
ton collars and cuffs as originally in
the bill, were increased. To retail
ate against Turkey, which country
prohibits the importation of American
filler tobacco, a provisO was included
in the tobacco schedule increasing the
duty on Hller tobacco from any coun-
try which prohibits the importation of
the American tobacco.
The internal revenue law was also
amended so that raisers of tobacco
will not have to pay manpfactur-
ers' license in order to dispose of leaf
tobacco.
Hides, hosiery and gloves were left
as reported by the committee, hides
remaining free and increased duty be-
ing presented for gloves and stock
ings.

Gentlemen: on February
20. 1903. the then secretary of
the interior entered into a con
tract with you having in view
the future construction of the
Grand valley high line canal
IL was at that time recognized,
as shown by correspondence,
that adequate funds for pushing
this work to immediate com
pletion would not be available,
but il appears that the people
chiefly interested We're satisfied
with this understanding
Since that date. there has
been brought to the attention of
this department the fact that
various individuals or associa-
tions believe that they can carry
on the work more promptly or
cheaply, and that construction
under the terms of the Reclama-
tiou Act would be in this case
an interference with private
enterprise.
Any question on this point
should be set at rest by definite
action on your part. and there
should be for permanent record
an expression of your opinion as
to the desirability OF reconsid-
ering the contract already en-
tered into, with a view to per
hitting the work to be taken up
in some other form.
In order that there may be no
possible misunderstanding il is
desired to have this matter given
fullest publicity and reasonable
time afforded any interested
person for an opportunity to be
heard. After such necessary
time has been allowed for pre-
sentation of the facts or argu-

reached, the matter must be con
