Block of Lots Purchased on Rates Street—Buildiugs to Be From Plans by Gen. Sternberg. A beginning is about to be made in car- rying into practical operation the plans for which the Sanitary Improvement Company of this city was organized. As will be re- called, the aim of this organization, which was recently incorporated, is to supply healthful homes for the better class ef earners, in the hepe of establishing a er standard of sanitary dwellings at asonable rentals for all classes. Eight Dwellings In View. ‘The company has purchased a block of lots cn Bates street, which runs from North Capitol to Ist street between P and Q Streets northwest. The total frontage is 449 fect, and upon this ground ft is pro- posed to erect eight dwellings, cach con- faining two flats, from plans drawn by Cen. George M.

SREB sanitation and special interest in the hous- ing problem are well known. Bids will be invited for the erection of these houses, and as soon as the contract slall be awarded, active building opera- tions will be begun. Each flat will contain a sitting room, a bed reom, a kitchen and a bath room, and there will be closets in each room, a cellar and a yard for each flat. The houses will be two stories in height, and they are to be erected with a business- like regard for economy consistent with the | purpose of the company, which {is to give the tenant the most possible for the moncy, ard at the same time pay a dividend of 5 per cent on the stock. Hygienic Conditions. No detail, however, wifl be omitted which will tend to provide the best accommoda- tions from the standpoint of hygiene. The proposed buildings, although stmple in thetr exterior, and, as stated, economical in their construction, will be so planned as to afford ample space, light and air, and every home will be provided with a bath room, with hot and cold water, water closet, and other conveniences. Each house will have a frontage cf 17% feet. There vill be an entrance to the flat on the first ficor, opening into the frent room, or sit- ting rocm, as it is called, with perhaps a small lobby. Back of this room will be the bed room, with an opening into the area, which will be 5% feet in width. Still fur- ther back will be the back room, with an opening on the same area, and then comes the kitchen, with an opening inte the back yard, and a door by which access can be had to the cellar, which is beneath the kitchen. A hallway will extend from the frént room back to the kitchen, and from this hallway access will be had to the bed Toom and to the bath room. The Second Stery. The entrance to the flat in the second story in each dwelling will be by a stalr- case, with access through a doorway which will be on a level with the one opening into the flat on the first floor, but is at the other end of the front of the house. The ar- rangement of the flat in the second story will be similar to that of the first story. Steps will lead down from a door in the Kitchen in the second-floor flat to the yard, so that the occupants can have access to the cellar. The yard will be divided equally by a fence, so that the tenants of the two flats can have an independent yard, where their clothes can be hung oh wash days, and through which the ashes and other r fvse ean be carried to the alley, which ex- tends along the rear of the property. The yard attached to each house will be twenty-five feet in depth. Provision will be made for the proper ventilation of the space beneath the house not occupied by the cellar. The plans prepared by Dr. Sternberg also provide for ample ventila- tion In the space between the roof and the upper flat, so that this portion of the build- ing will be made as comfortable as possible during the warm season. —— eS District: Appointment.

If we add to this the treas- ury estimate for miscellaneous receipts, $20,000,000, and the receipts on account of the post office, $96,227,076, we have a total estimated receipis for the fiscal year 1897 of $469,671,076, or an estimated exc Increased Internal Revenue Receipts. “In estimating the recetpts froin internal revenue for this year we have added to the usual receipts from this soprce $23,900,- ((0—the estimate of the internal revenvze bureau of the additior a! revenue which will be derived frcm the increase In taxes on fermented liquors, cigarettes, tobacco and snuff, provided by the suggested amend- ments. It is sugeested that the additional tax cn fermented Hquors and the duties on tea should be imposed until January 1, 1:40, by which date it is believed the bus- ire cf the courtry will have adjusted itself to the new tariff, and the cus:oms re- celpts and internal revenue taxes will sup- ply ample revenue to meet the expenses of the government. “If the estimated revenue from the duty op tea and the edditional internal revenue texes should be omitted from the commit- tee’s estirates of recelpts there would he an estimated deficiency of $29,175,000 in- stead of a surplus of $2,725,028. The com- mittee belleve !t to be the imperative duty of Congress to provide in the measure un- der consideration for a revenue which will certainly meet the requirements of the gov- ernmen: for the next fiscal year. ‘The adoption of a revenue bill which should fail In this purpose, and which would create an additional deficiency in the imme- diate future, and which would require a further issue of bonds to meet current ex- penditures, would certainly be fatal to the hepes of future success of any political party responsible for such legislation. Why Beer and Tea Were Selected. “In selecting the sources for additional revenue the cominittee decided to increase temporarily the tax on articles of volun- tary use, rather than to assess additional ¢utles which might prove inoperative upon articles of necessity or upon those which enter into our manufactured products. As- suming that the necessity for additional revenue exists, and of this we believe there can be no qvestion, there is no economic reason, and certainly none that affects the public interests, why beer and tobacco should not bear their share of additional taxation. The committee believe that the cuty proposed on tea will not prove a serious burden upcn the consumers of that article. “Nething in the theory of proteciion in- terferes with the imposition of further in- ternal revenue taxes by protectionivts wkenever such a course is found desirable for revenue purposes. In the future it is almost certain tlat we shall be obliged to cepserd more and more upon taxes of this neture for necessary revenre. “In the years to come we must expect a decrease rather than an increase in ihe customs revenue to be derived under the principe! schedules of the tariff. With duties adequxtely protective upon manu- factures of cotton, wool, silk and flax, we may expect a constantly diminishing rev- enue from tie importations of these prod- ucts. If the rates improved by this bill on ftgar should be found to lead to the rapid development of the beet sugar ind=stry in the United States we may expect large re- ductions year by year from the contem- plated tevenue from sugar. May Produce AN Our Sugar. “Some of the most sanguine advocates of the policy of encouraging beet sugar production in this country believe that we Shall within ten years produce all of our sugar. jectors will always be found to any pian for increased taxation, In this particular case the committee are only strenuous that a wise public thet “The rates ‘in. the -caemical.echedule are lower than those in the act of 1890. In schedule B, the earthenware schedule, at the earnest solicitation of the manufac- celain, in Tates on vhese — made by the act of 1894 resulted in Yhé demoraliza- tion of the business, and manufacturers and workmen have alike suffered. The rates sted are. m: Jeger. than the manu- facturers believe to be necessary. ‘They are, in a certain sepse,,experimental. Other covntries levy a specific duty upon man- ufacturcs of earthenware, china and por- celain, but none of them assess as high a duty as that suagesied by the commit- tee. The rates in the glass schedule are reduced somewhat! below the rates of 1890, but they are still, higher than those of the act of i894. | “In the metal schediile the rates of the act of 1894 have béea largely retained; in a few cases they have'been reduced. In the miscellaneous manufactures of iren and steel the paragraph relating to pocket cut- lery has been reduced to a point some- what below the act of 1690, and consid- erably below the House rates. The com- mittee su an increase in the duty on lead ore of one-half cent per pound, in deference to the wishes of the lead pro- ducers of the intermountain states. “In schedule D the provisions of the House bill on sawed lumber are retained, with a slight reduction of the duties on planed jumber. The committee found a great difference of opinion existing in dif- ferent parts of the country in regard to the proper rate to be imposed upon the articles in this schedule. Many hearings were given to senators interested on one side or the other of the question, with the result I have indicated.” The Duty on Sugar. Serator Aldrich said, in explaining the ‘sugar sehedules of the amended tariff bill: “In the sugar schedule E we have sug- gested a change in rates and in the manner of assessing the duties. As the schedule is a very important one, it seems proper that I should explain definitely the effect of the provisions we reccmmend. “The annual consumption of sugar in the United States is abou: 2,000,000 gross tons of 2.248 pounds each, with a value, based on fereign prices, approximating $90,000,000. If the high duties. proposed in either the House or Senate bill shou!d be adopted the amnual cost cf sugar to consumers would be more than $160,900,900. Of the consump- tion of 1896, 40,009 tons, or 2 per cent, were beet sugars produced in the United States, and 243,000 tons, or 12 per cent, were do- mestic cane sugars, and 157,000 tons, or & per cent, were sugars admitted from the Hawaiian Islands free of duty under our treaty with the Hawatian government. The 2,000,000 tons of sugar consumed in the United States constitute nearly 30 per cent of tne total consumption of the world, the tctal sugar crop of 189€ being approxt- mately 7,000,000 tons, of which 4,500,000, or about 61% per cent of the whole, were beet sugars. “The pressing necessity for securing greatly increased revenues seems to render a return to the repuodlican policy of the free sugar adopted in 18 an impossibility. The demand for revenue purposes, and the belief that every reasonable effort should be made to encourage the preduction of heet sugar in the United States, led a ma- jority ef the finance committee to recom- mend the high rates upon sugar which are contained in the bill now before the Senate. “It is beliaved by the friends of the beet sugar industry that we can successfully imitate the example of Germany in the rapi¢ development of beet sugar produc- tion. Dfiect of the House Rates, “The bill, as itcmme te us from the House of Representatives, contained pro- visions which lev{'wspecific duty, based upon pelariscopte fest, spon imported sugar varying from 1 cgnt ger pound at 7 de- grees, to 1% centsi per pound on al! sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard in color, and refined sugars. Thé'effec: of these rates, as gpplied to the totab2importations at the port of New York:for-the month of Janu- ary, 1897, is shown! bya table, which I sub- tit to the Senate, which has been prepared by the customs officers in New York. The rates suggested shew a range of ad valor- em equivalents frém 8.2 io 144.3 per cent. A careful examination of the tables will show that the scale-of.rates adopted bears very unequally upag all iow-grade sugars. The character and extent of this discrim- ination led your cemmittee to delieve. that the schedule should bezmedified. The cor- mittee determinedssfyer a careful, examin- ation of, the whale subject. tp recommend rates which would be in effect as high, at ‘east, as the House bill, but which wouid be levied in a manger that would make the ad valorem equivalents more uniform. “We believe that .the. impositian of the high specific rates upon low-grade sugars testing 87 degrees or velow would have the effect to exclude them from the markets of the United States. The total amount of these low grades produced.is, as I have already stated, unimportcnt as compared with the total sugar crcp, but their con- tinued tmportations into the United States is very important wher viewed from the standpoint of our trade and commerce with other countries. To exclude from the American market all the low-grade cane ars from the nearby ¢ourtries, and rs of all grades from distant countries, would confine American purchasers to beet sugar and to céntrifugals from points nearest the United States, and send all other sugars to free markets, like Canada and England. Would increase the Price of Sugar. “This policy would undoubtedly increase the price of the sugars {rom nearby coun- tries and necessarily add to the cost of sugar to consumers in the Urited States. These are the reasons which led your com mittee to suggest an ad vaiorem rate of ber cent on all sugars testing aot above 87 degrees. But thts rate can never apply to but a very small portion of the sugars of the world, as, from obvious causes, the pro- portionate amount of such sugars is con- stantly decreasing. . “Of the cane sugars testing above 87 de- grees, very much the larger portions, as I have already stated, are centrifugals, test- ing about 9% degrees. The committee, in considering the question whether they should adopt the spec:fic scale contained in the House schedule tor sugars testing Bbove 87 degrees, were confronted with the fact that these rates would discriminate in favor of the sugars of certain localities and values against those of others. ‘The committee, after full consideration, reached the conclusion that the essential elements of a certainty of reveiue and an adjustment of rates that would lessen dis- criminations. could best be secured by the adoption of compound rates. The commit- tee therefore adopted the suggestion, which 4s contained in the bill we have reported to the Senate, of imposing a specific duty, which is equivalent to about 40 per centum ad valorem, with an-additional duty of 35 per centum ad valorem on. all sugars from 87 degrces to 100 degrees, with 13-100ths of @ cent per pound additional.on all sugars above No. 16 Dutch standard in color, and on refined sugars. Regarding the Refiners. “More than 90 per cent of the sugar which is imported into the United -States has heretofore been: imported in a raw condition, and has-pe®n refined here, and 1: is therefore of ithpoftance that we should consider carefully! tie affect which the schedule proposed “by the Senate commit- tee would ‘have uptiy the reazlag industry.

It will be seen from an examination of this table that the dfffer- ential between granulated sugar and 96 degrees centrifugats—thts being by far the most important class of raw sugars and in amount two-thirds of the total imports of ns cane—is 9.87 cents per 108 pounds; on Mr. Alirich then submitted statements showing the differentials under varying values of sugar, and resumed: Advantage to Germans. “Under existing law German refined sugar receives .38-of a cent per pound ex- pert bounty. The countervailing duty here is but one-tenth of a cent per pound. The German refiner, therefore, receives a net bounty of .28 of a cent per pound. This enables him to sell his product at a less price than the American refiner, who has to pay for 96 degree centrifugals. It is this kind of competition which is driving the cane sugar producers and refiners of the word to the wail.” He then replied at length to a statement by ex-Representative William L. Wilson, im which the latter estimated the rates im- posed by the Senate committee's proposi- tion. Continuing, Mr, Aldrich said: ‘The Question of Beunty. “dn the tabies I have submitted no allu- sion is made to the bounty provisions con- tained in both the Senate and House pro- posais. The adoption of these or similar provisions for countervailing duties seems to be a necessity if we are to develop the ect sugar industry in the United States. Otherwise it will be possible for any for- eign country, by extension of its bounties, te neutralize entirely the effect of our pro- tective duties. Threatened by Germany. “German refiners have driven the sugar refining industry of Great Britain almost entirely out of existence. They are, as I have already stated, invading every sugar market in the world with their product. Most of the German granulated im- ported is the result of a continuous pro- cess of refining. For months raw beet sugar and German granulated have sold on an absolute parity of value, taking only into account the percentages of pure sugar contained in each. If we assume the cost of refining sugar in the United States to be approximately one-half of a cent per pound, and if German refined can be sold without loss on the same basis with Ger- man raw, it must be evident that the dif- ferentials suggested in the Senate propo- sition are not only not excessive, but they are quite iikely in the near future to prove inadequate for the continuance of the busi- ness of sugar refining in the United States. If the importations of German granulated should increase at the same ratio that they have since the act of 1894 was adopted. the Germans will certainly secure at an early day a large part of the American market. ‘The protection afforded by the differcn- tials proposed by the Senate committee is, I believe, not only less by percentage, but less with reference to the actual require- ments of the industry, than that afforded by the rates imposed upon any other im- portant product by the terms of the bill.” Amendment Concerning Hawall. The senator then took up the Hawaiian treaty and said: “The committee will also prepare and pre- sent an amendment to the House provisions in regard to the Hawaiian treaty. The ex- isting commercial treaty between the United States and the government of these islands provides for the free admission of raw sugars, the product of the islands, into the United States. If this treaty should remain in force it would result in giving a bounty to the Hawaiian sugar producers amounting to more than $8,000,000 per an- num. It was not contemplated when the original treaty was made, or when it was extended, that any possible advantage of this kind could ever result from its terms to the people of the Sandwich Islands. “The effect of this bounty would un- doubtedly be to stimulate enormously the production of sugar in the Hawalian Is- lands. While we cannot fairly abrogate a treaty of this kind with a friendly country without notice, we believe that negotiations should be at once entered into looking to such a modification of the treaty as will reduce the bounty to be paid Hawaiian sugar producers to a reasonable sum, and the committee will present an amendment Jooking in this direction at an early date. “Fhere should be no difficulty in securing through the treaty-making power such modifications of the treaty as will be sati: factory to both countries without injury to either. It certainly cannot be expected that the United States will continue fer any jength of time to pay a bonus of $7,909 or 38,000,000 per annum as an inducement to any foreign country to trade with us. I assume there will be no difficulty in secur- ing proper modifications of the treaty, so that it will not be necessary for the gov- ernment of the United States to give the one year’s notice of its abrogation, as pro- vided for by its terms. Leaf Tobacco. “In schedule F we have suggested a re- turn toghe rates imposed by the ect of 1804 on leaf tobacco. This action is far from satisfactory to the growers of wrap- per tobacco in the United States. There is very wide difference of opinion among those whose interests are affected as to what rates should be imposed. “In schedule G the rates imposed on agri- cultural products are prectically those levied by the act of 1890. “In schedule H, the liquor schedule, but few changes are made from existing law, the only changes being in the nature of slight increnses. “In the cotton schedule, the rates, which are practically those of 1894, have not been changed from the House schedules, except in the paragraphs relating to hosiery, un- derwear and corduroys and velveteens. On these the rates are somewhat lower than the House provisions. “Some changes of importance have been made in schedule J, the rates of duty re- maining, practically the same as in the House bill, and the change being rather in the naiure of new classifications. Wool and Woolens. “Important changes have been made in schedule K, both on the rates on wool and on manufactured woolens. “In dealing with the wool schedule, the committee has suggested more Mberal rates to the domestic wool grower than it has recommended for the producer of any manufactured article in the schedule; it has also suggested for him a more effective protection than he has ever received under any tariff law of the United States at the time of its enactment. The wool grower is given the benefit of a specitic duty upon all classes of wool. Under the operation of this fixed specific duty, the amount of pro- tection afforded will increase with each new decline in the foreign value of this raw ma- terial, The commmittee has aimed to give the wool growers a rate of duty which will “It 1s alleged by the wool growers that this low rate of Guty on carpet wools. de- stroys the effectiveness of the protection er —— of wool, from 35 per cent up to @ per cent, and in some instances 70 per cent, and they are higher than in any previous law. It is certain that under these duties foreign carpet wools cannot be led to take import: the place of domestic wools in the cloth manufacture. Protection te the Wool Grower. “Taking this feature of the wool sched- ule into account, tt Is a fact definitely demonstrated by the market reports that the protection given the American wool srower under the Senate bill is greater and more effective than he has ever before re- ceived in an American tariff. Under this schedule wool growing should become in time one of the most profitable branches of American agricutture. “In schedule L the committee recom- mend the adoption of a new paragraph fixing specific dutiés on silk piece goods. The remaining portions of the schedule remain without material change. It fs be- lieved that. the rates suggested will give better protection to some classes of silk menufacturers than they have heretofore enjoyed. “In schedule AL the paragraphs have been amended and the rates reduced in most instances. “Many changes are made in schedule N. The one which will attract most attention is the placing of a duty upon hides of cat- tle. Representatives of the western states in which cattle are raised have been for many years insisting that a duty on hides should find a place in a tariff bill which was intended to protect all American in- terests. This contention has been resisted by the tanners of the country, who believed that it would place an unnecessary burden upon ‘their important industry. “EI shall not attempt to enter in detail into the reasons which led the committee to suggest the imposition of the duty. Speaking for myself, 1 believe that the fears which have been so emphatically ex- pressed as to the injurious effects of the duty have been largely overestimated, and that no very serious burden will be placed upon either the tanning, the leather or the hoot and shoe industry if the amendment shouid be adopted. Free Books and Works ef Art. “Many changes are suggested in the free list. Among the more notable of these Is a recommendation to return to the liberai provisions of existing law with regard to the frec importation of books, works of art, etc., under certain conditions. Question of Reciprocity. “At the time the bill was reported from the committee I stated in their behalf that an amendment looking to the more rapid development and extension of reciprocal trade with foreign countries would be re- ported from the committee at a later day. The committee have not yet found the op- portunity to prepare such an amendment. it seemed to them thai the provisions of the House bill in this respect would not prove effective. It is the purpose of the committce to prepare a provision whica will enable the government of the United States, within certain fixed limits and withou: further legisiative action, to en- ter upon arrangements or to negouate reciprocity treaties looking to an extension ef our foreign trade. “In suggesting the striking out of the House provision, the committee had no purpose of abandoning the republican reci- procity p¥icy. They hope to be able to suggest such provisions as will enable our government to greatly extend that policy and make its adopticn permanent. “The committee also hope, before the bill passes from the consideration of the Sen- ate, to be able to present certain needed amendments to the customs administration law.” in conclusion, Mr. Aldrich sald: __ “The industrial system of the United States is growing more and more compicx every year. It 48 becoming more difficuit every year to satisfy, in a tariff revision, conflicting claims of seciions, or to so ad- just rates as to do no injustice to any of the varied interests of this great country. The revision of paragraphs aad rates 1ecommended by the committee is an- doubtedly far from satisiactory in many cases to interested parties. The amend- ments recorded represent the consensus of opinion of a majority of the members of the committee. We have no pride of opin- ion or authorship in regard to any of the provisions reported. We have given care- ful consideration to the numerous import- ant questions involved in the various schedules. We present to the Senate the result of our labors and shall cheerfully accept your judgment as to the wisdom of our ocnclusions.” ; —_—_—__-e.___—__ LIBERALS REMAIN ABSENT. Senor Canovas Appeals to Their Patriotism te Ketura. A dispatch to the Londen Times from Madrid says that the position taken by Sen-- or Canovas has produced much indignation, and deepened the determination of the lib- erais to absent themselves from the cortes until they receive satisfaction. The coun- iry, the correspondent adds, will certainly not indorse the prime minister. As a result of the quarrel between the Duke of Tetuan, minister of foreign af- fairs, and Senor Comas, a liberal member of the senate, the liberals and the principal dissident conservatives absented themselves frcm both houses ef the cortes yesterday. Prime Minister Canovas made successive addresses in the senate ard chamber of representatives, declaring that, inasmuch as the Tetuan-Comas incident had been set- tled, he saw no reason for the attitude of the opposition, which seemed designed merely to compel a crisis. He appealed to the patriotism of the ab- sentees in tne presence of grave interna- tional troubles, saying that love of country should iead them to resume their duties. He hinted that it was specially desirable that Senor Sagasta, the liberal leader, should return, and thereby contradict the Tumors regarding his attitude toward Cuba and the United States. In coaclusion, Senor Canovas declared that whether the absentees returned or not, the government would continue to carry on the public business. ‘The government supporters then adopted a resolution requesting the president of the chamber of representatives to attempt to influence the absentees to return to their legislative duties, ———_+eo____ BARON ROTHSCHILD'’S GUESTS.
