CHINESE SAILORS
Placed On Exactly the Same Footing
by the Law as Other Chinese
LabOrers and
Not Allowed to Land In the United States
The Louisiana LOttery-Irish
Republic Notes.

WASHINGTON, September 21.-James,
chief of the customs division of the Treas
ury Department, was asked this morning
whether request had been made by the
Chinese Consul at New York for permis-
sion to land certain Chinese sailors re-
Gently brought to that port. He said that
the matter had not been brought to the
notice of the department officially, but he
had received telegram from New York
this morning asking whether decision
had been reached in the case of the
sailors in question. He had replied that
the question had been decided by Judge
Potter, in New York, last August, the lat
ter holding in the case of ]. Fork, a Chinese
sailor on the British steamship Pembroke
shire, that Chinese sailors were placed by
law on the same footing as other Chinese
laborers, and could not be landed James
said similar decision had been reached
at san Francisco last year. He said also
that the Treasury Department could not
construe the law, that being a matter for
the court. He thought Judge Potter's de-
cision was all that was necessary in this
particular case.

October 4th is to be Tennessee day at
the Louisville Exposition. Commissioner
McWhirter, to whom the State is indebted
for the very creditable display it makes in
comparison with those from other States,
is anxious that the attendance on the
occasion shall be large and that something
like enthusiasm shall be evidenced by the
people OF the "old Volunteer State" The
APrEAL hopes he will not be disappointed.
Louisville deserves the most generous
recognition of its efforts to bring the
Northern and Southern people face to
face, and to impress the former especially
with the growth and prosperity that pre-
walls in all the Southern States. The
worth, intelligence and beauty of Ten
nessee should be present in force at Louis

THEICIvu SERVICE.

An Important Question Raised by Sec.
rotary FoIger.
WASHINGTON, September 21.-Secretary
tolger has raised an important question
in regard to the operation OF Tie new Civil
Service law; which he states in letter ad-
dressed by him to the commissioners to-
day. A few days ago he made a requisi-
ton on the commissioners for person to
fill 5000 clerkship, and the commission
yesterday certified to him the names OF
four persons from whom to make his Sc
lection. The Secretary finds himself
in doubt as TO whether section
l754 of the Revised Statutes does
not limit him in making his
selection from the four names. He says
in his letter to the commissioners that this
section gives preference, other things
being equal, to honorably discharged sol.
diers and sailors of the la$e war, and that
section of the Civil Service act provides
that nothing contained in that act shall
be construed to take away the preference
given in section 1854 to that class of per
sons, and he asks for further Information
on the subject. His opinion is that if one
of the persons certified to him is an honor
ably discharged sailor or soldier, he mus
select that one

WASHINGTON, September 21.-The de-
cision of the Secretary of the Treasury in
regard to the construction of the charcoal
iron and round iron provisions of the last
tariff act is adverse to the claims of the
manufacturers on these points. In his
decision the provision for charcoal iron is
held to relate only to the iron which is
otherwise dutiable under the paragraph in
which it is found, and the provision for
rivet, screw, nail and fence-wire rods is
held to govern the rate OF duty on those
articles, Notwithstanding the apparent pro-
vision elsewhere in the tariff for iron of the
size and value named in the paragraph relat-
ing to rivet, screw, nail and fence-wire rods

The Ford boys appeared at the Bucking-

two ago in a sensational play entitled The
Brothers oath. 1t was rude kind of an
attempt to explain the cause and means of
Jesse James's death. The Fords were
promptly hissed off the stage. If they at
tempt their role anywhere in Tennessee we
hope they will be as promptly and signif-

James brothers, will not encourage such
cowardly murderers as the Fords in pub
