A Tariff Question Unsettled.

TWO REPORTS FROM THE TREASURY COMMITTEE.
The Treasury department some time ago ap-
pointed committee to consider the effect of the
7th section OF the tariff act OF 1SS3 as to whether
1t intended to repeal the duties On all coverings
OF goods, including small boxes that contain Them
such as backing and cigar boxes or only to repeal
the duties on outside boxes necessary for trans
Portatlon. The committee, consisting of Mr.
James, the chief OF the customs divisions Treasury
department.. chairman; Appraiser Ketcham, OF
NV York custom house; Mr.. Treloar represent
Ing the New York collector; Mr.. Fisk the deputy
collector at Boston; Mr.. Rice, the appraiser at
Boston; Mr. Morse. the appraiser at Philadelphia,
and Mr.: Godsborough, the appraiser at Baltimore,
met IN New York, and after consideration OF the
matter for several days the committee to-day sub
mltted two reports to the Treasury department.
one. signed by Messrs James, Treloar and Colds
borough, recommended that only the outer cover
ing 0e exempted from taxation. The other signed
Dy MessrS. ketcham, Rice and Fisk, recommended
That all the coverings De exempted and that
duties be assessed only on the naked merchan-
dize. Mr.. Morse did not sign either report.
The Treasury department. will have these re-
ports prnted az soon as convenient, and then fur
nlsned to the press. 1t is probable that the de-
partnent Will refer the question to the Attorney
General for his decision. The questions invo!ve1
are OF great interest to importers, some favoring
taxing all the coverings and others cOnhning the
charges to the goods alone. The former are the
srlct protectonfsts and the latter inclined to
free trade.

morning, is lying quite i'll at Montmorenci, near
Baltimore, and DR.. Dickson, the local physician,
who has had frequent consultations with other
doctors, is quite Rra3e over tho case She suffers
SO much from nervous prostration that the local
trouble OF the stomach Is greatly aggravated.
She Is perfectly conscious OF having shot her hus-
band and regards It In the light OF an awful acc-
dent her only reproach being that It was not her
self instead OF hiSa who was killed. Mr.. Conrad
was lying on his right side, and the bullet pene-
etrated straight through the left side OF the head
TO the center of the brain, so that It would appear
she must have been leaning over him when the
pistol went Oh. The funeral OF Ar. Conrad took
place to-day.
