BIG LINER IN DASH TO SAVE TARIFF ON WINE

Falls Io Reach Pori Before Payne Bill Is Signed New York, Aug. 6.—On board the giant liner Pennsylvania is a costly cargo of wines, brandy and champagne. Down in the vessel’s furnace rooms firemen are stoking coal as if their lives depended on it, for if the liner reaches New York before the new tariff rates went into effect it would mean a saving of SIO,OOO to $20,000 m duties. Bound for here is the St. Paul, from Southampton and Cherbourg due on Saturday Also due on that day are the Campania, from Liverpool, and Queenstown; the French liner La Touralne, from Havre; the Duca Degil Abruzzi, from Naples. All these vessels are said to carry in their cargoes goods on which there is to be a greatly advanced duty. The Pennsylvania lost by a narrow margin.
