NEW TARIFF LAW RULE.
An official letter from the secretary's Of
fee of the treasury department lays down
the following rules concerning the enforce
meut of section seven of the new tariff
law. The mere fact that invoices and en-
tries include non-dutiable charges does
not thereby render such charges liable to
duty, and in proper case duty should not
be levied on charges and commission when
theyscan be properly ascertained. Where,
however, an invoice of goods declares they
have been delivered to the purchaser on an
exporting vessel free of al charges TO him,
the value stated in the invoice must be
taken as that upon which duties shall be
levied, provided, of course, the appraiser
makes no advance thereon. Goods actu-
ally remaining in bonded warehouse, or
public store, when the seventh section of
the act referred to took effect, may be con-
sidered as entitled to readjustment duty,
under said section, without regard to pro-
test, it being the duty of the department
and its officers to enforce the law as en-
acted by congress. The department does
not deem it wise or within its authority to
enlarge the scope of fact SO as to extend
their provisions to section ten in connec-
tion with section seven, to goods not in
public store, or bonded warehouse, when
the act took effect, and which were import
ed prior to that date. Goods imported
prior to the act taking effect, and which re-
manned in general order store, are to be
considered as in bonded warehouses and the
rule before laid down applies accordingly.
PRICE ON HIS RESERVE.
In taking evidence before the commits
sioner this morning in the civil case of
Walsh against Brady, Price refused point
blank to answer questions relating to what
he knew of the star route prosecution, as
to the Price drafts, upon the ground that
to answer would criminate himself. Price
somewhat irrelevantly told the parties to
the hearing, that they might go to the
grand jury and find out what he testified
to before that body on the 22d inst, that
if they wanted his view in regard to the
Price-Brady drafts. he did not intend to
open his affairs to the world in hearing
Of this kind while he was under in
dictments upon evidence of the plaintiff.
THE REMAINS IN WASHINGTON.
The remains of John Howard Payne,
author of ''Home, Sweet Home," arrived in
this city this morning. The undertaken,
with the assistance of railroad employees,
lifted out the coffin, which was en-
closed in a wedge-shaped, foreign-looking
box Of wood, heavily bound at the Sides
and corners with straps of wroUght-iron
on each side, and with three iron handles.
The box was covered with black pail and
draped with the American fag. It was
borne at once to the hearse and followed
by ". w. Corooran. G. w. Mathews and Lit.
Nicholson, and taking carriages the party
accompanied the remains to Oak Hill and
saw them placed in the chapel. The coffin
will be exposed to view in the chapel and
will probably remain there for some days
before being removed TO the vault. 1t is
said that the lawn facing the entrance is
being thought of as the place of interment.
A monument at this point would be very
conspicuous.
