TARIFF ON PULP AND PAPER.
Reductions Of Tax Saves Much to
COnstrmer-POssibilit of Trade
War With Canada.

New York, Aug. 2.-Mr. John N yr-
ris. chairman of the committee on pa
per Of the American Newspaper Pub
fishers ass citation, has issued a state
ment relating to the tariff on pulp
and paper in which he says it part:
In the proposed tariff bill publish
ers have secured the abolition of the
duty OF $1.67 per ton on ground
wood. They obtained a reduction
from IS per ton to 1915 per ton on
PRINT paper-a saving Of approxi-<
mately $2,700,000 per annum in the
cost Of news print paper to consum-
ers.
III the publishers had not inaug-
urated their campaign for a reduct-
ion of duty, it is likely the paper
makers would have secured an in.
crease from Sc per ton to ss to sion
per ton on print paper upon their
representations that American wood
had increased in cost to the extent Of
Sc per ton Of paper produced.
Under the new schedule. each
province in Canada is considered as
unit, so that Nova Scotia and New !.
Brunswick, which have no restric-
tons of any kind upon expectation of
pulp paper, can Immediately avail
themselves of the new tariff rate.
Quebec has stumpage tax of 25
cents per cord on wood cut from
crown lands for expectation. Ontario
prohibits absolutely the exportation
OF wood cut from crown lands. New
foundland also prohibits the exporta-
ton of pulp wood
american paper makers hold
leases of $4,000 square miles of crown.
lands in the province of Quebec.
These leases expire in 1910, and it is
given out that within three weeks
from the date of the signing of the
Payne bill the terms of the new
Quebec leases will be promulgated.
ut is barely possible that Quebec
may regard the new legislation as the l
best obtainable and abolish its stump
poratfon of pulp wood cut from crown
lands, the American owners of timber
rights are prepared to set up a COM
plant of confiscation. A serious tam
gle is threatened with possibilities of
pulp wood shortage and a trader
war between Canada and the United
States.

TARIFF WORK CLOSING,
WILL PROBABLY BE COMPLET.
ED THIS WEEK.
Quick Action Anticipated-Senate
Probably Will Adopt Report After
Discussion by Its Advocates and
Opponents.

Washington, August 2.-Unless
something happens to provoke heated
discussion of political character the
new tariff bill should be enacted into
law and the extraordinary session OF
congress adjourned before tn end OF
the present week. Inquiry among
senator's as to the adoption Of the
conference report on the Payne-Ald-
rich bill indicats the debate will not
be so extended as it threatened to be
before the conferees reported.
The senate will meet at 10 O'Clock
tomorrow. The sessions probably will
begin at that hour each day and will
continue until 6 or o'clock daily. If
1t Is found there are more senators to
speak than have already given notice,
1t is possible that evening sessions
may be held.
Senator Aldrich is determined the
conference report shall not be carried
over into next week. He does not ex-
pect to occupy much time himself. He
said today he would not speak longer
than an hour Or two and other men,
bers of the committee would occupy
comparatively little time. It is prob
able senator's who were opposed to the
placing Of hides on the free list win
have something to say on that SUBJ
ject and all Of the Republicans who
voted against the bill when it was on
Its passage in the senate will take oc-
casion to explain their action. Some
Of these senators will vote for the
adoption of the conference report and
some of them are expected to vote in
the negative.
Senator Culberson, leader of the
minority, is authority for the state
ment that the Democrats will debate
the conference report thoroughly, but
will not filibuster gainst it's adoption.
Senators Daniel and Bailey. members
OF the committee on finance, will
speak at length against the adoption
of the conference report and take the
lead in voicing Democratic opposition
to the new tariff bill.
Some Of the senate leaders predict
a vote will be hand on the conference
report as early as Thursday and the
special session Of congress can be
brought to close On Friday.
