v/niLAuO , August 1. The situation
of affairs in the grain markets of Chi.
cage is in the highest degree interest
ing. Default ing on contracts seems
to bo the order of the day , There ia
nn immense shortage among the shorl
Boilers in the July spring wheat deal ,
the amount yet unsettled being ostl
mated all the way from -100,000 bush ,
uls to double that quantify. Longs have
steadily refused tenders of red winloi
wheat in settlement of these contract *
and for the quantity remaining unset'
tied a committee will bo called foi
to fix the price. Litigation In tin
courts is certain to follow whatovci
decision such committee makes , anr
largo sums of margin money , estimator'
at $300,000 to $400,000 , will romaii
locked up in banks pending the judi

To the Editor ol Tns linn :
Penult 1110 through the colunmis
your valuable paper to draw the t
tion of the citizona of Omaha to
matter ot the greatest importnn
connected with the waterworks nc
under construction. I am , I con foe
not fully acquainted with the whole <
the plan , nor will I here try to crit
ciso it as a whole , but only such par
thereof ns I have had opportunity i
witnessing. In the firot place , for
city the alzo of ttrii and containing
population -10,000 inhabitants wit
the prospect of a very largo incrone
being added , I cannot help oxproaain
my honest conviction that a gror
mistake baa boon rnado in eeloctin
pi pea of such Binall calibro aa thee
they are employed in Jayiug now , tin
If iho company intundod that thoa
works were to bo a pormnnont bonofi
to the city I venture to-day moat dc
cidodly tlnit in less than four year
they will find they have inudo a pur
miscalculation , They BOOIU to mu t
have lost view of the fact Unit cac
iron plpoa never grow Jurgor , bu
from thu moment the water is allowe
to enter them the procosa of oij
dation begins and goes o
rapidly diniimahiiif the capacitj
thereby aoon rondorin tliei
ilmont useless for the purposes thcr
were intended. The pipou now bein'
aid nro not more than juat about hal
the eho they ought to bo arid eummoi
aenae will teach ua , or ratljor onabl
.13 , to realize tlio ftot that a largo cit ;
tko this , and conntantlv grovvin ]
.irger , can never bo nilciUitely { BUM
lied from a email pipe constant ) ;
; rowing smaller , just the roverae o'
vhut it should ba. And than again
n iho courac ot ovonta , after the pipui
ro laid and people begin to USD tin
, atcr iu their house * nud otherwim
ho pipea will bo tapped at , in 1
irobiibility , thouoanda of plaeei
hrouj-h the cily whieh as tt noasun
if precaution during the aovbro cole
veather in winter tlmo , must bo kepi
ru&ning in order to prevent froczhu
up , I should like to knoiv where , it
aao of fire , the water could bo pro
urud ? certainly not from the hydninti
n anything like eullicient quantity ,
vith half or two-thirda the taps run
ling water to waato from a coven 01
ei'-flit inch pipe , nd if the citinyiu
oivlly doairo that ita uuufiilnortii in
-ABCB of fire bu preserved thu only way
hey can poenibly contribute to thai
und is not to uao the water in you
loueoi ) and thun preserve unimpairei
ho full force ntcuaaary for the extin
i > uiahnietit of fire , In the preaun
tate of the water it ia wholly unlit fo ;
domestic use , und to whioh I wil

THE TARIFF COMMISSION.

Special Dispatch to The Heo.
LONO BitANOH , N. tF. , August I.-
Tlio tanil' commission resumed its BOS
fiion to-day. Assistant Socrotar
of the Treasury French gave his view
as to the importance nnd necessity o
thu creation of a tribunal for tin
speedy termination of disputed quos
, iona arising from time to time in cus
: oins cases. A circular from Sooro
inry of the Treasury AVindom to tin
chamber of commerce and boards o !
; rado of the country showed there
were 18,000 customs nuitu pending ,
This of course did not represent sc
innny distinct questions , On the con
trary , largo numbers oC them do-
lendod on the same points , but owing
, o the law'n delay importers had ta
continue bringing nulls on every im
portation. Otvinu , however , to tlio
Jeath of Prcaldcnt Garfield , and the
change of the cabinet thu plan for n
ribunul had fallen through. It hud
) eon opposed also by lawyers who
reru interested in these litigations ,
uid who represented it was a now
chenio of the treasury department to
got advantage of importera. When
ho bill for the creation of such a
, ourt was introduced into the uonnto
y Sherman , it was denounced by thu
'Jow ' York papers aa n "now Hchemo"
f the treasury to wrong impoitera in
omo way or other , In point of fact
he Bchoinu wa3 for the bunellk of im-
> orteru instead of buing for thu pur
IOBO of giving now powers to the
reasury , it was purposing to part with
11 power which it now hud over the
ubject. Everybody in the depart
ment desired to get rid of thcso con.
lovornies nnd labor. One plan
was to arrange tiio matter very
nuch us the valuation of floods is now
rrangod ; that is to loavu it to the dn-
talon of appraisers and lot their judg-
lent bo final , Another plan ( nnd one
which ho himself favored ) wun creating
, customs court , composed partly of
xpeils and of one or two eminent
awyerii ; members of the court to re-
oivu 85,000 or $0,000 u year or more ;
o hold their appointments perma
nently und to nit in New York , Uu
, vould have the decision of that court
nal and unappealable ; one objection
undo to that plan was itsozponsu , but
iu thought if the country could aH'ord
o give nineteen million dollars to thu
mprovuinunt of mud puddles , it might
ot begrudge § 30,000 or ? 10,000 n
car to the maintenance of those
ourts , which would savu the present
iiormous cost of litigation. Another
reposition was to give jurisdiction
vor all of those questions to thu court
f claims. That would certainly bo n
reat improvement on thu present sya-
em. This was a very important mat-
ir , and ho hoped the tarilt cotnimV
ion would tttko up thu question and
iaku some definite recommendation
n thu subject. Passing on to thu
ugar question lie gave n history of thu
aw fixing duties , ntandard of color
nd teet of value and taxation. How
liat standard had been falsified und
lade of dark uning colors , how the
polariacopo is adopted by the whole
trade as n just criterion of the valoo
ot sugar , how objection was tnado by
the sugar importora vo its being adop
ted by the treasury department , and
how liiph qualities of raw sugar now
come in nt low rates , being artificially
discolored. There has never boon a
tiino , ho said , when sugar im
porters tendered to the committee -
mitteo on ways and moans
any agreement ns to the best mode of
collecting duties on sugar. They could
not agree among themselves , llo
suggested perhaps the beat way out of
the whole sugar difficulty would bo to
apply an ad valorem system to it.
There were practically two questions
before the commission , one was
whether tax on sugar should bo low
ered , or increased , or retained ; Iho '
other was how the different grades of
aug r should bo graded and ascer
tained. Sugar now paid the largest
amount of revenue to the govern
ment. Tlio amount for the fiscal year
ending Juno 30th , 1881 , was over
forty-uight million dollars , and that
for the last fiscal year would probably
exceed fifty million dollars.
After an hour's recess the commis
sion gavo'n hearing to John D Dix of
Now York , lloeaid thatin 182 ( ! , when
Merrill was getting up hia tariff bill
ho sent for representatives of Iho drug
Untie , ( himself among the number )
und tola them to prepare figures for
the taxation of drugs nnd chemicals ,
and that they must put Iho figures a ?
high ns possible , promising that as
eoon as the warnvceasitica passed away
ho would use his influence to have the
tariff on drugs reduced. They had
so for fifteen years ; ho ( Dix ) had felt
personally injured by the fact that
neither Merrill nor anybody else
had undertaken to revise tlio tnrilV ,
except to tnko of a tax hero or put
ono on there , to advance some private
ond. Dix was requested to send to
the commission n list of articles ho
would recommend to plnco on the frco
lint. 12. L. llandall , representing
