citizen by foreign government, the usual
course of procedure would be to have the
| accused person arrested and the truth or
falsity of the charges inquired into before
a United States judge or United States
commissioner. The accused would thus be
| given an opportunity to meet the charges.
The evidence, together with the recon-
mendation of the committing magistrate,
would then be sent to the state department..
Then, for the first time," said this official,
''would the state department be called
upon to act. If the magistrate favored
surrendering the prisoner or if he favored
setting him free, the department could
override him. In a word, only at this
stage of the proceeding could the state
| department begin to treat the matter
| automatically. Until all these steps are
taken it is out of the question for war
rant of extradition to be issued"
RowE's SUCCESSOR.
Frank Hatton, the assistant postmaster
general, and his friends are very busy say
| ing that he is certain to succeed Howe.
Their pleasure in that direction will be
found to be all anticipatory. Hatton has
| no show. The GLOBE correspondent has it
upon the best authority that Hatton is per-
sonally Objectionable, even in his present
position, to the president. A short time
ago Arthur, in conversation with a friend,
said: 81 don't like Hatton. I don't like
him at all. One day he came into my Office
with cigar in his mouth and hat on his
head. He putfed away at that cigar, while
in my presence,and did not remove his hat"
The president first took dislike to Hatton
last summer. Hatton then invited himself
to accompany the presidential party to
Marshheld, Mass.

WASHINGTON, March 27.-Secretary Fol-
ger slept well last night, and avoke this
morning much relieved. His appetite is
improving, and his general symptoms
more favorable than for several days.
The acting secretary of the treasury has
addressed letter to the secretary of state
on the subject Of the proposed nodifca-
ton of the Canadian regulations in regard
to the importation of bonded whisky from
the United States. He says the commits
sionsr of internal revenue and himself are
agreed that inasmuch as the right of ex-
portation into Canada without payment of
tax was one guaranteed by law and not
subject of the discretion Of the treasury
department, the department would have
no objections to such modification of the
Canadian regulations as would permit the
importation to the Dominion of whisky in
packages Of twenty gallons and upwards.
The secretary of state is requested to COM
municate those views to the Canadian gov
ernment.
DECLINES TO RESIGN.
Acting upon the advice of his friends,
Collector Haines of Brownsville, Texas, has
informed the acting secretary of the
treasury that he must decline to resign as
| requested.

for use in making inventories of stocks
on hand, May I, 1882, when the reduction

vides ''that on all original and unbroken

factured tobacco and snuff, cigars,
| cheeroots and cigarettes, had by
manufacturers or dealers at the time such
| reduction shall go into effect, upon which
tax has been paid, there shall be allowed
drawback or rebate of the full amount
of reduction, but the same shall not apply
in any case where the claim has not been
presented within sixty days following the
date of reduction, and such rebate to man
ufacturers may be paid in stamps at re-
duced rate, and no claim shall be allowed
or drawback paid for less amount than
SO.

unbroken packages" embraces every
whole duly stamped package, large or
small, which is as it came from the factory,
with the same contents and all of the same
originally packess therein.

turer or dealer is entitled to rebate, must
be carefully conventional the 1st of May,
1888, in the presence of two disinterestea

to each stamped package of cigars and each
box or case containing stamped packages
of snuff or tobacco weighing less than
one pound each, and this must be doue at

printed in red letters on white paper of
suitable size in strip shape.
