WRIGHT AMATEUR
BILLIARD CHAMPION
Californian Clinches Title by
Defeating Conklin of
Chicago, 400 to 341.

the clever San Francisco billiardist,
won the 1872 balkline amateur cham
pionship of America last night by de-
featlng Charles F. Conklin of Chicago,
400 to 341
The match was the best of the cham
pionship series and the Californian
made shots so difficult that he was re-
peatedly applauded. His carom and
masse shots were unusually accurate
and he played in true form from the
start of the match. Conklin. however
also played a clever game. although
he was outclassed.
In the afternoon game Clarence
Jackson of Chicago won from Dr. L. L
Mial of Philadelphia, 400 to 3O7. Jack

middleweight last night at the end of
twelve rounds of gruelling milling at
the Armory Athletic association.
Ferguson started out to finish up
the colored wonder at short notice, but
Langford was too tough. got into his
stride after the third round and had
Sam pretty well used up before the
second half Of the distance was In

ford was always in evidence. He
reached Ferguson with heavy left

Ferguson did the forcing through

able at ten per cent.
The duty on watches was read
justed, remaining at about the same
as the Dingley law.
A duty OF one cen. per pound was
put upon the zinc In the ore where 1t
contains more than 20 per cent. of
zinc. On zinc with less than 20 per
cent. there is lower rate OF duty.
Zinc now has a duty of 20 per cent.
There was an added duty of one
half of one cent per pound uron plain
bottle caps. and on decorated bottle
caps the duty was increased from 45
to 55 per cent.
The reductions in the metal sched-
ufe are more numerous and generally
more marked than in most of the
others. Heading the list is iron ore,
which was decreased from 40 to Is
cents per ton. Pig iron. iron kent
ledge, and Spiegeleisen, were lowered
from 81 to $3.50 per ton.
Scrap iron and steel from four to
one dollar per ton.

Washington.-The schedules Of the
new tariff bill, with comparisons with
rates under the Dingley measure. are
as follows:
Rough lumber goes down from 81
to $1-25 per thousand feet, with cor
responding reduction in the differen-
tial on dressed lumber.
The wool schedule underwent no
change of consequence. but the en-
tire cotton schedule was reconstructed

and the phraseology greatly changed
in the hope of preventing reductions
through decisions by the courts such
as have characterized the administra-
ton of the Dingley law during latter
years. In many instances the rates
intended to be imposed by the Ding
ley law were cut by the decisions, the
reductions in some instances being
from go per cent. to eight per cent. ad
valorem. 1t is estimated that the
rata fixed by the bill are about three
per cent. higher upon an average than
those collected on cotton last year.
Probably the most marked reduc-
tions throughout any schedule in the
bill as result Of the action of the
two houses and of the conference COM
mittee are found in the metal sched-
ule. Beginning with decrease in the
rate OF iron ore from 40 to is cents
per ton, there is a general reduction
throughout that portion of the bill,
pig iron going down from 81 to $3.50
per ton, and scrap iron from 81 to 81.
The reduction on many of the items in
this schedule amounts to about so per
cent. and this reduction includes
steel rails. There is an increase on
structural steel ready for use and also
slight increase on razors, nippers
and pliers. and on such new metals
as tungsten.
Rates on Hosiery Increased.
The rates on hosiery are generally
increased. In the much contested mat
ter of the rate on gloves the high pro
tectionists fail to score. They sought.
through an increase made by the
house, to raise the duty materially
above the Dingley figures. but were
antagonized by the senate, and the
senate won. the only change made in
the entire schedule being one slight
reduction.
The silk schedule was reconstructed
with view Of imposing specific rath-
er than ad valorem dutiec, with the re-
suit that the average duty will be
somewhat higher under the new law
than under the present statute.
OIL cloths and lineoleum are heavi-
ly cut, but otherwise the changes in
the fax, hemp and jute provision
were not material. A slightly in
creased duty is provided for
hemp, both crude and hacked. and
dlbo OH Ceitdiu ulSu-STduc faces. On
linen yarns and mattings there Is
reduction.
Sugar and tobacco duties remain
substantially as they are under the
Dingley law. The free importation of
considerable quantities of both of
these articles from the Philippine is
lands is permitted, and material
change was made in the internal reve-
nue. law by an amendment taking the
tax of the sale of tobacco in the hand.
There is a uniform Increase on spir-
its. wines and liquors of Is per cent.
Raise Rate on Hops.
In the agricultural schedule hops
are increased from ~ to 16 cents a
pound and there is also an increase
on lemons. figs. almonds and pine
apples.
The publishers win their fight for
lower wood pulp and print paper. the
rate on the ordinary newspaper print
paper being fixed at s3.75 per ton in

In the lumber schedule the only in
creases were those on shingles from

on sawed lumber was decreased from

was also diminution on timber from
one cent per cubic foot to one-half
cent, and on sawed boards of white
