(By Leased Wire to The Times) Washington, April 1 2, Senator Aldrich. when requested to make a brief summary of the general charac ter of the changes proposed by tlTe senate finance committee to the house tariff bill, furnished the following statement: "In the main, the rates In the tar iff bill as reported from the, senate fi nance committee are lower than those In the bill as it passed the house, the actual number of reductions, being about three times the number of in creases. . Such increases as have been made have been largely rendered ne cesary to preserve the symmetry of the schedules. A considerable num ber, of articles in common use have been taken from the dutiable list of the house bill and restored to the free list. The great mass of the rates reported are-bdlow those of ex isting law. In schedule A (the chem ical schedule) the principal changes are Jn, the nature of redwuajlo xne nouse dhi. uno iniponuui. vuuusv Is In putting distilled and expressed oils upon the free list. . Schedule D ( wood and manufac turer of wood.) The senate has taken the house rate of $1 a thousand on rough lumber, a reduction of a dollar from the Dingley law, and has re tained the house rates on manufac tures of wools, neaily all showing re ductions from the Dingley tariff. The only important change in the sched ule made by the senate committee was the restoration of imported hardwoods to the free list. The sen ate committee left the sugar scheduled as it came from the house, but re duced the house rate on sugared bis cuits and wafers from 50 to 20 per cent. ' " '.. The tobacco Bchedule remains un changed. The agricultural schedule, Includ ing meat products, remaius practical ly unchanged from existing law, but where reductions were made by the nouse the senate committee has re stored" the Dingley rates, in response to the demands of farmers through out the country and of the represeni--tatlves of the great agricultural in terests. Fish remains as it came from the house. ': ' . The senate has returned cocoa to th free list, betievlng that an article of such general consumption, both a a beverage and in all forms of choc olate should no more be made duti able than tea or coffee. The commit tee felt that If it was necessary to in crease revenue it could be done bet ter on luxuries than on the every day necessities of life, and have pursued this policy in the construction of this 1I1I. The senate committee has ap plied the same principle to spices, and has restored them to the free list, where they have always been. Again, on the same principle, the senate com mittee has Increased the rates of spirits and wines 15 per cent through out, which, ft Is estimated, wi'. yield 'an additional revenue of $3,000,000, tnoBt of which Will come from the in creased duty on champagne. 1 l' In the cotton schedule there has been an extension of the specific rates to cover a class of fancy goods and novelties, which 'are covered in the existing law!; by ad valorem rates. Ite resulting -ad valorem rates have mtf been Increased. ' '- 'Xhe average' rates oln the cotton Bcbe lule, other than the rates on fan cies Vd novelties, remain the same. There Va one exception to this state ment aftd that is the reduction from the house bill on fashioned hosiery, where theVmnilttee nag recommend ed the restoration of 4he rates of the existing law. The committee contem plates a Btiil further substitution of specific for ad" vaJlorem rates In other paragraphs of the bill. - Raw flax has .been restored by the senate committee to the dutiable list, (Continued -oarage , TwoJ - v PETITION HAD DESIRED EFFECT IN THE SENATE Senate Finance Committee Restores Bingly Rates On Leather, Gloves, Hosiery COAL MlN SATISFIED Committee Met at 10 O'clock Today.

Not a Single Platform iH'iiiuiid Being Enacted Into Law. (liy Leased Wire to The Times) Austin, Texas, April 1 2 The legis lature held a Sunday session yester day, the extra session coming to a close last night. Governor Campbell aroused 111 will in many mombe(-s of the house and senate by an official commuuicn tion which he submitted to the re spective bodies. He said In part: "The carpings of the lobbyists may be echoed in our legislative halls in criticism and denunciation of the ex ecutive, but no man has yet denied that I have acted within my duty and with fidelity to the masses of the peo ple. ...' . ' v.-'; "In the contest for honest legisla tion and good government, I have never asked for quarter and will ex tend none. ' ''.' . ' .' "The most famous lobhjplhat ever 'trampled upon the will of the people' has swarmed about this capitol from the beginning of your regular session until this hour. The farmer is busy in his field. He cannot come to the capitol to protect his interests. , He relies upon you and hie. '"I have interpreted the democratic platform without the aid of the li quor lobby, the railroad lobby or the commercial secretaries (lobby, which lasi mentioned instrument is the nuc leus around which is gathered every selfish Interest now represented at the capitol. "Your regular session of sixty days was of little value to the people. Not a single platform demand was enact ed into law, one was defeated and you adjourned without even consider ing the appropriation will, where upon the lobby applauded, and it is not strange that you received through the newspapers the felicitations of the chairman of the republican exec utive committee of this state. Prob aliy the most arrogant and the most formidable lobby which is made up of combined selfish Interests : that ever assembled at the capitol, gath ered here upon the assembling of this legislature to pester you and to hin der and defeat the popular will. Just what they have done I do not know, but that they are still hovering about the capitol, I do know.. "If the democratic party is to be ignored and discredited and if the people are to be betrayed, I am de termined in so far as I am able, to fix the responsibility."

The first time was late In February, when, fol lowing severe northerly blow, the falls ran dry, and now, following a severe southwester, the flood is frozen solidly from bank to bank; The ice has caused a tremendous dam.

The tracks of the great gorge route are flooded and along the lower river, fishing shacks, boat houses and the pumping stations, private landings and piers of both the international railway and the Niagara Navigation Company at Lewlston and Queenston afe burled beneath thousands of tons of Ice.

ENGLISH PLAY Berlin, April 12 "An English man's Home," Du Mauriers play, dealing with the possible Invasion by' some continental powar, generally be lieved to represent Germany, was pre sented at the Neuse Theatre here last night. It Is very Improbable that it will", be seen again in Germany. .The audience received the first act complacently, but afterwards hissed, laughed stamped and jeered. The last two acts were given In what was practically dumb show. The hostility, it seems, arose not against Englishmen or things Eng lish, but from contempt at the ab surdity of the play, which was made much more farclal than tho original. Marathon Itace.
