Must Not Impose Terme


But the president in his proclamation
must declare that the country, which
Is favored with the minimum rates,
does not impose any terms or restrlc-
lions either in the way of tariff rates
or trade or other regulations directly or
indirectly on the sale or importation
into that country of any product of the
United States.
This is In effect is the requirement
which was In the house bill. In addi-
ton, the senate provision required that
a country in order to receive the mini
mum rates of the American tariff can
not impose any export bounty or pro-
hibition on the expectation OF any
article to the United States which I'M
duly discriminates against the products
of this country.
The latter provision was not made in
the house bill. 1t is not thought 1t
would affect Brazil because of the ex-
port tax placed by that country on
coffee but it is expected 1t will affect
those countries which impose an ex-
port tax on a raw material which Is
used for manufacturing in this country.
The new provision would make the
maximum rates applicable to any
colony or political subdivision of a
country which had right to adopt and
enforce tariff legislation. The condi-
lions imposed by the new section are
applicable to the products of country
whether imported directly or indirectly
from that country.
No Restriction on President
No restriction is placed on the presi-
dent as to the number of persons he
may employ to make thorough investi-
cations to obtain information for his
use in carrying out the provisions of
the section. Coffee and tea are the only
articles on the free list upon which a
maximum duty is applied.
A large number of other admin1stra-
tive features were agreed on and will
be reported to thdyBenate later.
Mr.. McCumber said that tariff re-
vision this year is universally under
stood to mean revision downward. He
asserted lumber needed no protection
and that no other industry had pro-
dueed more millions for the amount In
vested than the lumber industry He
believed, however, the bill does for
the most part meet the just demands
of the people,"
He remarked that the southern Dem
oerats are making stronger appeals for
protection than the Republicans of the
old school, and Senator Tillman inter-
rupted him to say:
eve are getting. so badly mixed that
it is hard to tell the sheep from the
goats, and I am afraid that before we
get through there won't be trough
enough for all the hogs to get their
scraps"
Senator Tillman said some Republic
can members were making speeches IN
accordance with Democratic principles,
while some Democratic members We're
making excellent Republican speeches..

Brings Suit for Imprisonment

SAN FRANCISCO, April 3O.-A suit
for $4,000 damages was filed today by
Adele e. Berge against C. F. Kohl and
Frederick Miller of Riverside. He
claims that these men caused his i'm
prisonment in the jail of Orange coun-
ty on a charge of insanity, which he
asserts was unfounded. He was re-
leased by Judge Bledsoe and came to
this city, where he secured employment
in a large drygoods store, but was dis
charged recently, as he says, owing to
representations made to the proprietors
by Kohl and Miller, who declared that
he was a kleptomaniac.

CHICAGO. April S0.-Following an
unusual agitation in labor circles in
this city, May day brings a fairly clear
horizon.
The tile layers and helpers, who only
two weeks ago settled a six weeks
strike and returned to work at in
creased wages, are threatening to
strike again unless the injunction
against their union ard the Associated
Building Trades is dissolved.
The contractors are just as anxious
to get the injunction out of the way,
but thus far no method by which this
can be done has been discovered.
Journeymen bakers will meet tomor-
row to act on the proposition of a
strike against the master bakers, who
refuse to grant an increase in wages.
