is that which provides q drawback OF
taxes paid on raw materia 9, which raw
materials enter into the manufacture
of articles for export. This will assist
our homo manufacturers to compete in
foreign markets.
In detail the changes in schedules
arc roughly as follows: There are slight
increases in certain 50 called luxuries,
including perfumery, toilet articles,
fancy sospe, ehicory and substitutes
for coffee, cocoa and cocoa butter,
spices, feathers, furs, and the like. In
creases are also made on coal tar dyes,
zinc, peas, figs, lemons, pineapples,
mercerized cotton, surface coated pa
pers, autographs and envelopes. Wood
pulp 10 made free when imported from
countries that have no export duty.
Cheaper grades of print paper are ma
teriaIly reduced. A large number OF
drugs and chemicals are cut, while
copperas, lieorice, cottonseed oil and
some other articles in kind are placed
on tho free list.
There is a material reduction in
building materials of almost all varie-
ties, including lumber. Perhaps the
most sweeping cut is on iron, steel and
other metal products, which amounts
in most cases to so per cent. This is
one reduction that cannot be greatly
affected by the reciprocity clause.
Sugar is reduced four one hundredths
Of cent per pound. Agricultural and
food products are cut, some of them
materially. Wool is left practically un-
affected, except carpet wool and top
waste, which are slightly reduced.
Soft or bituminous coal is admitted
free from all countries admitting
American coal free. Hides are placed
on the free list, which is greater
proportionate reduction than that on
shoes and other leather products.
Works Of art over twenty years old are
free.

There is a sharpening of knives, the
cattlemen of the west are preparing to
shoot the free hides section full of

The fire started at o'clock, evidently
from crossed eieCLrlc wires on a SIIldll
balcony in the dining room on the first
floor. The flames spread rapidly and
the rooms on the second floor We're soon
filed with smoke. When the firemen
arrived it was impossible to save the
building, and they devoted their atter-
tion principally to protecting surround
ing property.
Three of those who lost their lives
were smothered to death in their
rooms, apparently having made no at
tempt to reach the hallway. A fourth
had escaped from his room and made
his way down the hallway, but was
unable to get farther than the stair
landing, where his charred body was
found.
Today's fire was the second serious
hotel fire in Topeka within three
months. January Ia the Copeland, a
famous stopping place for politicians,
was destroyed. Isaac Lambert of
