BILL PASSED BY THE HOUSE RESTRICTING SUCH
REFUEDNG-CORRUPuoN IN CONNECTION WITH
THE FAMOUS FRUIT CASE.
fBY TELEGRAPH THE TRrBUSE.1
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.-rhe bill of the Ways and
Means Committee to restrict the Tefundinc of Gus
toms duties was reported by Mr. KassoD to-day, and
passed under suspension of the rules, Gen Butler
being the My member who offered any objections.
The debate, except his part of it, was explanatory
Of the necessity for the passage of the measure and
of the nature of the abuses that have grown out of
the unlimited power now vested in the Secretary of
the Treasury to reverse bis decisions those of
predecessor and take large amounts of money
from the Treasury on his own warrant. The now
famous fruit case was pretty thoroughly explained,
and cited as reason for prompt action. 1t appears
from the statements Of Messrs Kasson, Dawes, and
Kelley of the evidence taken before their Commit
tee that in five different drafts of the Tariff bill
made in the course of its passage through Congress
the comma by which the compound word fruit
plants was separated into two words thus putting
fruit on the free list does not appear and that there
strong grounds Tor suspicion that where it does
appear in the enrolled parchment bill in the State
Department it was procured to be inserted by cor
rUpt means.
1t seems that certain lawyers in New-York went
to the fruit importers il the Fab of 1873 than
ayear after the law was passed, and bareaned with
them To secure refund of all the duties they had
paid since the passage Of the ae for Oneha Of the
total amount thus recovered. These lawyers worked
the up and got decision hung upon the comma
that will at take over $4,000 from the Treas
ury The KassOn bill provides that the Secretary Of
the Treasury shall not reverse hs own decisions in
customs cases, those of predecessor, except on
the ruling OF the Attorney-General upon the law in
question, or the decision If a court; and that in
Juch cases no money shall be paid to refund duties
until Congress makes an appropriation for the pur-
pose. The power of the Secretary TO reverse the
rulings Of his SubordiDates, and to refund duties
enormously collected unde- these rulings, is not
InterfeTed with.
