Mr.. Mathewson in letter 10 the Mayor

had prepared q memorandum upon the
charter. which was sent TO the Corporation
Counsel. Mr.. Mathewson continued:
The major part 81 this memorandum Is
devoted 10 objections rather than to assents
by the Controller 10 the changes proposed
in his Office as a prelude 70 which you will
find It stated that the document might very
appropriately have a subtitle. an act
amending the charter If the city of New

Pointing out then that the present system
Of checks on the citys finances had been
adiudged Of sufficient merit to be taken as
a model by the United States Treasury, the
acting Controller goes on TO correct the
MAYORS statement upon the point Of the
committee OF twelve city officials named by
the Mayor TO consider suggestions for the
charter.
"If my memory serves me right the Con-
,roIler was a member OF that committee"
saws Mr. Mathewson and the Corporation
Counsel was It's chairman. Permit me. how
ever TO call your attention to the fact that
no meeting of the committee has ever been
called or held"
Mayor Gaynor did not appear at his office
Yesterday and did not have an opportunity
TO reply TO Mr.. Mathewson's fiat denial Of
his statements.
More than a score OF preachers yesterday
announced their intention Of discussing the

nat duty on all woods. and, While II re-
duces the rates on ordinary woods from

In most respects the duties on the

wastes was agreed to. while rate OF 81
per cent was determined on for combed
wool and tops including rowing and rop-
ing. and Of 50 per cent on yarns.
There was a compromise in the matter
az classification on cloths, dress goods,
clothing. Weddings. blankets and fan
uels. In the House bill these subjects
were covered in five para graphs, whereas
Mr.. La Toilette in the bill as adopted
by the Senate embraced all in one para
graph
As the subject will be covered in the
conference report. blankets and flannels
will be treated in one paragraph, with
rate Of so per cent, the House rate, while

= similar compromise was effected on
carpets. resulting in the fixing Of the

House bill. Class | of to-day's compro-
mise includes aubusson. administer. mo-
ouette, chenille. SaXony. wilton. tour

Berlin and similar rugs, and the rate is
fixed at 80 per cent. which is - per cent
higher than the Senate rate and 10 per

On the second class Of carpets the rate
was made 30 per cent. 1t includes Brus-
