THE ADMISSION OF SUGAR FREE OF DUTY-MER-
CHANTS PAYING CUSTOMS DUES UNDER PROTEST.
icy TELEGRAPH THE TmBUNEl
WASHINGTON, Sept. IA number OF i'm
porers Cuba who receive their crgoes at New
orleans claim that they are entitled to enter their sugar
free of duty have paid the customs dues under pro-
test since the passage by Congress OF the act TO regulate
imports under the reciprocity treaty with the Sand
weh Islands refining company OF ST. Louis winch Is
a large importer has filed the following letter with tho
customs authorities:
We hereby protest against the assessment and payment
Of nty ON Inc cargo OF sugar on tho ground that by
son recent enactment Of Congress- AUG ~ admit
ting sugar free Of duty from the Hawaiian sandr INTO
the ports OF Francisco, Call the same product from
the Island of Cuba IS undes existing treaty stpuaons
with spain, entitled to free entry nj tie port OF New
Orleans and also the ground that. under section
OF the first article Of the Constitution OF the United
states this port entitled TO all the adVahages ana ot
ets given by any regulation OF commerce or revenue 10
San Francisco any other port Of the United States
The argument that Spanish products are entitled to
the same privileges those OF the Sandwich Islands
does not seem TO hold good far sugar is concerned
for the treaty says, "MuscOyado brown and all other
unrehned sugar, meaning hereby the grades OF sugar
heretofore commonly imported from the Hawaiian
Islands and known in the markets OF San Francisco
and Portland Oregon Sandwich Island sugar shaIl
be introduced into the ports of the United states Tree OF
duty from and after date Of the Presidents procla
nation" The language seems TO bar the claim made Tor
Cubun sugar but the Of the Treasury Department
is settled by the reading Of Section OF the circular 10
collectors Of customs regarding the admission OF goods
duty free which Says Collectors also instructed that
the ui1yieges of the convention" with Hawaii ana CUBA
appIy only TO goods wares and merchandise the gOwih
product or manufacture Of tho Hawaiian Islands. sec
tiOn OF the first article OF the CONSTITUTION says no
preference shall be given by any regulation OF commerce
or revenue to the ports OF one state over those OF an
other" The treaty regulations DO not III any mioI
discriminate in favor any special ports; and iu Ie
neither Of the treaties with Spain OF lI00 ana 1913 pro-
vide for or refer the commerce between spain ana tne
United States and fail to contain even the lisi MGR
neycd diplomatic phrase that all privileges shal DC OK

MISS MART1NEAWS RELIGIOUS OPINIONS.

LETTER FROM MoNCURE d. CoNwAY--wIEN MISS
MARTINEAU MADE HE3 DECLARATION.
To the Editor OF The Tribune
SIR: have been unfortunate in my expression IT,
in the paragraph concerning Miss Martineau crlti-
csed in your Issue of Aug. 10, have conveyed to
others also the impression that the conversation
with my friend therein reported took place when
she was Oh her death-bed." 1t was not so. Though
it was toward the close Of her fe she was yet able
to receive calls from her friends and to converse
pleasantly with them.
For the rest, do not see that should be held
responsible for Miss Martineaus opinions simply be-
cause deem it right to report them as matters of
general INTEREST," and after the most careful scrutiny
of my paragraph entirely fail TO discover anything
Aippant either in her remark disclaiming belief in
Immortality or in the way in which have referred
to it. FaIthfullyyou MoNcURE d. CONWAY.
