An Impurta mt Deoii ion

New YORK, January II. Judge
Wallace, in tho United States circuit
court, has dc c.ded against the plaintiffs
in the suit Of Bartram & Co. against
Collector Robertson, which was
brought to recover the duties collected
on sugar imported from the Danish
island OF st. Crolx. The ground taken
in this suit was that the United States
had treaty with the king of Dem
mark which stipulates that no higher
duty should be imposed upon
it's productions than on any
other foreign country, but that
treaty had since been m ,de with the
king OF the Ha waiian island by which
sugar should be admitted free of duty.
The plaintiffs claimed therefore that
the sugar produced on Danish terri
tory should be admitted free also.
Judge Wallace declares the position
of plaintiffs untenable. This was q
tsat case, and the decision is exceed.
ingly important.

WASHINGTON, January lin the
senate Edmunds introduced by request
bills to provide for the appointment of
q commission to investigate the subject
OF r.iiroad transportation and he cH-
pressed the opinion that the matter
was worthy f consideration, believing
that some sort of regulation was re-.
quired.
The conference report on the agri-
cultural appropriation bill, which
agreed to the postt flee appropriation
bill, was then considered.
Senator Davis, referring to the
item for necessary and special facili-
ties, debate ensued.
Senator Maxey thought the people
west of the Mississippi were as well
entitled as any others to these mail
facilities, and unless the benefits
could be fairly distributed they ought
TO be discontinued at once.
After further debate and the Gdop-
ton of an amendment striking out the
house provision relating to compensa.
zion to be paid Pacific railways for
mail service, the morning hour ex-
pired and the bill went over.
A motion to postpone confederation
of tho sariff bill was lost by the fol-
lowing vote-ayes 27, nays 81.
Senate resumed consideration of the
tariff bill. Senator Beck said If he
should determine to offer amendments
to the amendments offered yesterday
by Morrill, to the paragraphs covering
alcoholic preparations, he would re'
serve them until the bill should have
been reported to the senate from the
committee of the whole.
Senator Beck moved to reduce the
rate on china, porcelain parian and
biique ware from 60 to so per cent
advalorem.
Senator Cook said the whole
schedule of earthenware and glass
ware was from Ia to 20 per cent high
er than the present tariff, and this in'
crease was presented in a bill pur-
porting to reduce taxation and upon
class Of goods used in every house.

prophecy that any tariff bill whicf
rested exclusively upon that bash
would pever become law, but woulc
