TI TARIFF TO WAIT
Hew Philippine Schedule Probably "With
held Until Insular Gases Are Decided.
A CHANGE MAY BE UNNECESSARY.
YTork of Adjustment ProfKMf, How
ever, Without Interruption Several
Revisions Advised The Claasa tbmt
! Dairymen Ask For.
WASHINGTON, April 22. It is not
likely that the new Philippine tariff
will be promulgated until after the de
cision of the supreme court in the in
sular case. It is stated at the War
department, where the matter has re
ceived consideration, that this decis
ion may make it unnecessary for the
government to establish a system of
tariff rates in the Philippines, al
though the department has proceeded
with the work of equalizing the rates
and receiving and considering sugges
tions, as though the coming decision
would not mak any change In the
present conditions.
Some months ago the War depart
ment published the tariff as prepared
by the tariff experts in the Philippines
and approved by the Taft commission,
Interested parties, especially manufac
turers and shippers, were invited to
examine this proposed tariff and make
suggestions and criticisms. It is in
teresting to note that of the 419 par
agraphs in the proposed tariff only 33
paragraphs have provoked criticism or
suggestion. Even these are in a mild
tone and neirly all take the form of
suggestion. Some of the more impor
tant suggestions are embodied in the
following:
It is suggested that there will be
difficulty in making duties specific and
that in many coses perhaps ad valor
cm duties will be better. There are
some objections to the metric system,
as American goods are in yard folds
and European goods are in metric
folds. If the yard folds are continued
it would be better for the American
iranufacturers.
The Manila Chamber of Commerce
arks that four months intervene be
tween the promulgation cf the tariff
and its enforcement. No provision is
made for marking oleomargarine to
distinguish it from butter. The dairy
Interests think such a provision desir
able. A lower rate is asked for gas
oline to be used for fuel and for
launches. An ad valorem duty is ad
vised " upon precious stones and
watches. One firm suggests that cop
peras and oxide should be upon the
frea list.
It is claimed that cotton yarn should
inot be admitted at a lower rate than
"Sabrics woven from such yarn, also
that the weight and washing of cot
ton tissues should be changed in the
interest of the coarser cotton fabrics.
There has teen quite an extensive dis
cussion of this subject and it has been
pointed out that the changes in the
Cuban tariff also were needed in this
particular.
The free entry of "news" print pa
per is advocated. Reductions are ask
ed from 20 to 40 per c?nt on harness
and saddle makers wares. It is sug
gested that cheap and expensive ma
chinery should not pay the same
rates. Certain typewriter firms want
the duty on their machines reduced.
A change is asked in th.j classifica
tion of meat products. It is said that
the duty on alcohol should be dou
bled or manufacturers of whisky will
be able to use the alcohol for making
whisky at much less than the distilled
product.
Sheriff Will Starve Them.
LONDON. Ky.. April 22. The latest
news from Letcher county reached
I-ondon tonight. It is that the Rey

ing from the Virginia side, and that
they refuse to surrender unless they
can dictate terms, which means bail
of their own making. It is said there
!s no way by which they can escape,
rnd the Ehertff says he will starve
them Into a surrender.

Testing- Applicants.
WASHINGTON, D. C. April 22.
The civil service commission an
nounces that the examination adver
tised for April 23, 1901, for the po
sition of department assistant in the
Philippine service, has been postponed
to June 3 and 4, and that this exam
ination will be held in any city in the
United States where postal free deliv
ery has been established. Competitors
in the examination in addition to tak
ing the regular examination required
for this position also may take one
or more of certain optional subjects,
for which due credit will be given.
Particular attention is called to the
fact that within a few months it Is
probable that a number of financial
agents will be needed. These agents
will be selected for this examination
and the selections will be confined as
far as practicable to those who have
shown proficiency in the optional sub
jects of bookkeeping and finance and
who have passed the regular examina
tion. The salary of the position of
financial agent will be about 2,000
per annum.
The entrance salary of the position
of department assistant will not be
less than $1,200 per annum.
KOREA DECIDES TO BORROW.

Yen From France.
Yokohama, April 22. The Korean
government, according to advices just
received from Seoul, the capital of
Korea, has decided to borrow from
France 5,000,000 yen for the purpose
of constructing the Northern railway
from Seoul to Wikiu. It is asserted
that it was objected to pledging the
Korean customs for security of this
loan, which created a desire in certain
quarters for the dismissal of Mr. Mc
Leavy Brown, the director general of
Korean customs.
According to the same advice. Vice

MacDonald, British minister to Japan,

Stamp Counterfeiter's Baffled.
"For more than a year past." says
the Philadelphia Record, "the treasury
department has been defrauded of
thousands of dollars by the washing of
canceled revenue stamps. Those en?
gaged in the business have secured
canceled stamps of all denominations,
washed them clean, regummed them
and sold them. Now. however, the
treasury chemists have found an olive
gray ink for the stamp itself which will
fade away if any attempt 6hall be
made to wash out the cancellation
mark. Unfortunately, it has proved
impossible to blend this fugitive ink
with any chemical producing an agree
able color, and beauty has, therefore,
been sacrificed to safety. The design

Beware of the friend that advises
you to go to war or get married.
Did you ever have that feeling of oppression, like a weight on your chest, or a load of cobblestones in your
stomach, keeping you awake nights with a horrible sensation of anxiety, or tossing restlessly in terrible dreams,
that make the cold perspiration break out all over you ? That's insomnia, or sleeplessness, and some unfortun
ates suffer with it night after night, until their reason is in danger and they are on the edge of going mad. The
cause of this fearful ailment is in the stomach and bowels, and a Cascaret taken at night will soon bring relief and
give the sufferer sweet, refreshing sleep. Always insist on getting CASCARETS!
